Public restrooms that is.
There are some subtle things that should definitely be considered when using a public restroom that I have discovered through careful contemplation and experience.
1. How to choose a stall
Obviously, you aren't going to find too many restrooms with the exact same layout, but here are some guide lines for common layouts.
u = urinal, | o | = stall
Layout A: Opposite sides
u u u u
| o | o | o | o |
In restrooms like this, it is best to stick with the middle stalls. The ones on the end are the most likely to be used a) by people in a hurry or b) when the urinals are full. The more people you have standing and peeing in a bowl, the better the chances of inaccuracy and wet seats.
Layout B: In Line
u u u u | o | o | o |
In this instance, it is best to go for the one as far away from the urinals as possible. Again, you reduce the risk of a wet seat.
The exception to both of these is a Handicapped stall. This should always be the first choice, as it takes a real douchenozzle to pee on the seat in a handicap stall and not clean it up.
2. A Warm seat is a good thing!
This is for two reasons:
a) It feels nicer than a cold seat
b) It means that someone else cleared it of any possible problems.
3. Always wash your hands.
Everyone knows this one. Water, soap, scrup, rinse. The danger hear is leaning against the counter. People are messy, and the water on the counter is hard to see! Avoid crotch lines! DO NOT LEAN AGAINST THE COUNTER.
Okay, that's all I've got. Any additions?
