Nah. Unless the toilet is visibly wet/dirty. People don’t know how hard / improbable it is to actually catch an illness via your buttcheeks. It’s a false sense of cleanliness.

I always use them. How do they carry more germs? It's a piece of paper used once and then flushed.

Nah. Wipe down the seat and you’re good to go. Those things are so uncomfortable.

Actually toilet seats don’t absorb germs sooooo yeah covers are pointless because paper does. Feel free to wipe the seat though!

Unless the person before you rubbed their excrement all over the seat, or all over their butt first and then sat down, AND/OR you have open wounds all over your butt, you WILL NOT get sick from a toilet seat. That's not how any of this works.

No. They actually carry more germs.

It's not like the thin paper is going to protect you from anything actually virulent. Most STDs die after 3 minutes outside the body anyway. Exception: bacteria

Yep, especially when I’m going in for a long number 2...🤗

I always use them!

So all you people who use them, you really think paper THAT thin protects you from getting germs on your bum? Or prevents your bum germs from getting on the seat? yeah ok. Whatever makes you feel better I guess. 🙄

I put TP on the edge where I sit... feels like I'm wasting slightly less. But who am I kidding.

honestly just noticed these in our bathrooms the other week.
even more revolutionary: realizing people actually use them

Advice please. I came into my firm as an onboarded team/staff attorney at a medium-sized firm. Not through a temp agency or a contract attorney, for clarification.

Awesome firm with killer reputation. I have expressed my desire to move forward as an associate. Then came Coronavirus. Poor timing to reignite my position?
