Especially since, unlike the back sides of their legs (which remain covered once they exit the stall), their hands could be used to grab a generous bunch of toilet paper and wipe down without actually touching the communal seat and then washed upon exiting the stall.

So - no actual touching with any part of their body which is likely to transfer germs to the interior of their body, and a good cleansing (which, we know they are doing anyway) of the only part that potentially - if they are not good at bunching up toilet paper - might have touched the seat in a potentially germ transmitting way.

(Of course, absent open sores on the backs of their legs, or very strange rituals which might transfer germs from the backs of their legs & rump to their nose or mouth.)

But yes, I know I'm dreaming . . . but running into so many foul bathrooms which were so obviously defiled by hoverers (including my spouse - who insists that she just leaves it in the state it is in when she finds it), I could not restrain myself from expressing that dream (with a little reasoning about why it would be so reasonable for them to clean up after themselves).

I hope you clean up after you hover . . . Ms. Toad Dec 2013 #8
One can hover and not to get the seat wet. LisaL Dec 2013 #12
True - but it is pretty good bet Ms. Toad Dec 2013 #14
Yes. Exacty. Hoverers are one of the reasons for filth and foul. alphafemale Dec 2013 #16

What you are saying is if you use the last available tp on yourself, the seat is out of luck. Lars39 Dec 2013 #29
This is without a doubt the nastiest bunch of comments I have ever received LiberalEsto Dec 2013 #31
Poor thing. Must be like sitting in someone else's waste, huh. Lars39 Dec 2013 #32
