I just wish that if people must put paper on the seat, they'd take it off again and dispose of it after they'd done their business. I hate walking into a cubicle and seeing someone's elaborate hypochondria barrier left there for me to deal with.

I rake it into the toilet and flush. Hand sanitizer is a good idea, hadn't thought of that.

I give it a quick visual inspection. Unfortunately some pigs piss all over everything or leave their dump floating for me to flush as if it's something they are proud of. One woman's room looked as if someone had decorated the stall with her tampax drippings, so pigs aren't exclusively male. One thing that is really disturbing is to set your purse on the floor and take it home and park it on the table or kitchen counter, now that's really problematic!

I never ever set my purse on the floor, if there isn't a hook for it, I hold it. 

If I can hold it, I wait to go home. If not then I wipe the sest clean even if it looks clean already... then make a paper or toilet seat cover barrier then spead as little time as possible seated. If I have something with me (my wallet or bag or whatever) it stays on me or in my lap.

Im afraid of germs

Kia Ora Cindy,

Re: "What do you do to the toilet seat before you sit?"

I don't know about others but I always lift the 'lid' on the seat... it can get quite messy otherwise

funny! but in public no lids, mine in never down unless I have been cleaning, and I leave the seat the way it is supposed to be. and if a man ever visits I expect him to replace the seat this is a womn's house! (I get 3 visitors a year)

In public if the seat is wet I dry it thoroughly and sit, if dirty I try a different one.  I don't use the gaskets I try to save trees where I can 
and I always wash up afterwards
