Hovercraft Ladies Circle
Ladies, my pet pee-ves are the members of the Hovercraft Ladies Circle. The ladies who don't sit down. It is not ladylike to lift the seat or even touch it, eeew. So the ladies hover over the seat and sprinkle us some special champagne bubbles. Such a lovely surprise for us regular old gals who do sit down.

Presuming you're on it alone, the worst thing you can get from a toilet seat is wet, so for Pete's sake, sit down! I find it strange that women who won't sit on a public toilet will hold a public phone up to their faces.

Thank you for your replies. I have been trying to figure out how to get this more widely discussed in public so the Hovercraft Ladies know how disgusting this practice is to the rest of us. I look closely, bypass a lot of stalls, often line the seat with tissue, but still there it is sometimes, the Hovercraft Champagne Surprise. Can you do Facebook about it?
Right ON Sister!

there's a cultural element
In some countries, sitting on the seat isn't the norm - usually because there aren't seats and one simply squats to do one's business. In some parts of the U.S. where there are many immigrants from certain southeast Asian countries, you will sometimes see signs on the back of the stall door showing a person squatting with their feet on the seat and a big X over the graphic - trying to indicate "no squatting here please".

Exactly what horrible affliction is it that you think your butt cheeks are going to contract by actually sitting?

Have used the squats in India and Turkey and the cup of water, but never drunk! We are preaching to ourselves here in this forum, Moderator. Is there any way to get it moved to OMNI or Travel Health and Safety to reach people?
