Hubby is a clean freak so never a problem when he’s here or I’m there, and I have always had bathroom rules such as not stepping inside without chappals, rolling up the pants so they don’t touch the floor, lota usage (we have antibacterial baby wipes in the bathroom too for those in a rush ), wiping the toilet seat atleast once a day and washing hands with Dial before exiting the bathroom. Anyone who doesn’t do it will go on my sh*t list, no pun intended.
But yes, putting down the toilet seat is a pain, and I have never touched it with my hands, usey touch karey meri jooti
I think people not washing their hands after number 1 and number 2 concerns me more. And I just don’t get this no lota usage culture here.
Also, I was SO highly impressed with the bathrooms at O'Hare airport. Each person using the toilet seat gets an automatic new plastic all over it so that your bum doesn't touch someone else's germs, wah wah. I wonder if that's something purchaseable for homes too.
I don’t know whether I want to be surprised more or disgusted more in situations like these.
The worst experience I had was road travel in saudi arabia during Haj season. Restrooms on highways are the biggest test in the whole Haj process, however ones in madina and makkah were very well mantained.

yeah, the whole setup at the service stations along the highways was generally disgusting. not just during Hajj season. it was disgusting no matter what time of year you went... or if you went for Hajj or Umra.
and I remember the old setup at the masjid in Makkah. that was one disgusting, scary setup. but that is when I was very young. and they improved it a lot over the next few years. but back in the day, it was scary man... scary and disgusting...
"If u sprinkle when u tinkle please be neat and wipe the seat"
Still, eww! I don't share a bathroom anymore. I shall make it pretty clear to my husband of my likes and dislikes. They should have his & hers toilets. Blue and pink ones. Self-disinfecting one's..
It is because men take care of their number one while standing most of the time and to get a better aim of the commode they bring the seat up otherwise they will be more yelled at to dirty up the seat with their aim.
To remind my kids to be careful my wife put up this tile in the toilet:
Some inventor took care of bad aim with this innovation : Weepals
( Please do not start a debate on if it is permissible in Islam to pee while standing in this thread, open a thread in r&s for that)
i cant use the toilet without wiping the seat, be it at home or in public. the toilets where i work can be prety disgusting, hairs and pee and red stuff and brown stuff left over on the seat bleugh, once i heard someone vomiting in there, hope she aimed properly. :hinna:

O'Hare was the first place I saw that too... waiting it to be available elsewhere too.
dunno what your definition of clean is, the restrooms at dubai and abudhabi airports are filthy.
maybe they are the 2%
I am a clean freak and majority of the places are not up to par anywhere, while the vast majority of them are not filthy, they are still just okay. there are some that are very nice and some that are just nightmarish
and this is an experience based on facilities at airports, train stations, hotels, public toilets in US, canada, UK, france, germany, belgium, netherlands, italy, switzerland, china, Japan, UAE, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Brazil, Morocco, to name a a number of places.
oh and btw worst bathrooms…china wins hands down…i mean pants down.
In Switzerland there was one toilet in one of the B&Bs, after u flush it a small arm like thing comes out from where the little tank for the water is, and it fits itself onto the seat and the seat rotates so that whatever sprinkles that were left behind is cleaned for when the next person uses it.
