I've been in my fair share of both restrooms. Normally I would be found in the mens restrooms, and yes, they are horrible. However in drama club I was often times in the women's restroom helping the actresses put on their makeup (ah drama club, the one place where gender and sexuality is COMPLETELY blurred...).
I am mostly andro, but when it comes to a public restroom I will GLADLY be a guy. Anymore they have the curvy entryways instead of actual doors, and all the urinals flush on their own. So you can walk in, whip it out, take a leak, walk out, and not have to touch ANYTHING except for yourself. And let me tell you, I know I'm cleaner than any public restroom.
And by the way, if I have to use the toilet to pee in instead of the urinal in a public restroom, I am one of those kind people that DOES lift the ring (with my foot). In a normal persons house I will put the ring down afterwards of course (and usually the cover too, I've knocked too many odd things into toilets to leave it up), but in a public restroom I will leave it up to discourage other guys from peeing all over it.
But there is also something that women do with their home bathrooms that just irks me and is rude to guys (perhaps as rude as guys leaving the ring up). They put those fuzzy things on the seat cover and on the top of the toilet. Ah, they are so pretty. Except they make the lid not stay up quite right. And on the odd occasion the lid will decide to fall down closed, while you are standing there peeing. Now THAT is awkward. You gotta catch the seat while still controlling your aim! And if you make a mess you feel sooo bad. And let's not forget that traumatic time I was a kid when I was short and the lid fell down and actually hit my wee wee while I was going wee. That was not cool at all.
