This Week's Topic: Should the toilet seat cover be placed waxy side up or waxy side down?

Some of you are thankful for the "protection" that a bu** gasket provides. The higher quality ones are usually waxy on one side and bare paper on the other. In non-emergent situations, I always make sure the waxy side is down, so as to repel any unseen "water" drops ....... also, the paper side seems to stick to my .... ahem ..... sitting place ....... less than the waxy side

Your thoughts?

(BTW, I wasn't going to post this, until somebody mentioned them in the pet peeves thread)

LOL- my fault huh? I can't answer because I don't use them often. I am however sick of going into the ladies room and seeing them half trailing in the water because the person before could not be bothered to make sure it flushed all the way down. Seems odd to me, to use it for hygiene and then not make sure it is flushed out of courtesy for the next person.

Um...i didn't know there was two sides? They're usually tissue paper consistancy...right? But i always use them. I hate when rest rooms don't have them.

Ok, i just ran into the restroom, and checked. There is a slight waxy side. I realized, I'm usually doing the pp dance, so getting the darn thing down, with out ripping it to shreds or pulling 10 out, is all i care about!

I thought those were free cowboy hats.

I hate the things...I don't want to touch anything in public bathrooms so I have perfected the hover move....not one bit of me touches anything........

I have very strong legs now......

Considering everything that is already in there, I've always been horrified that adding that mass of paper to the "stew" wouldn't allow it to flush properly.

Tell me...is nothing more terrifying than a toilet about to overflow!

**Giant Panda** · 04-20-2005, 02:32 PM

One of your own at home is certainly more terrifying than a public one. Of course I don't use gaskets at home .......

And if a public one overflows .......RUN!

Isn't the proper term for this little piece of paper butt gasket?

I've always heard them referred to as a$$ gaskets...

This is borderline Litter Box!!

Wax side down to answer your Question.

Hovering if there are none available

**Whatever** · 04-21-2005, 12:18 PM

If the bathroom is really clean, like at my office, I don't use them. When I do, either side. if none are available I put TP on the seat.

**mickhyperion** · 04-21-2005, 12:26 PM

I always wonder what to do with the flap.

Let it droop into the bowel. If your lucky, that will be sufficient to make sure it gets flushed, thus avoiding the peeving of a fellow MiceChatter ....
