Another Vash-inspired "what would you" do moment?

Last night I stopped by an ice cream shop with my daughter. While she was in line, I went to the bathroom. Small shop, so it's one of those single, unisex bathrooms for the entire joint. There was a kid (teenaged boy) in line. We waited, his friend finished up, and he went in. While I was on deck, a teenaged girl got in line behind me. The teenaged boy finished and I was next.

Here's my dilemma. When I got into the bathroom, the toilet seat was down, and there was pee all over it. Must have been one/both of the boys. I just had to pee, so I lifted up the seat and did my business. But do I leave the seat up? Do I put it down? Do I clean it for the teenaged girl waiting outside? If I leave it down, will she think (of course she will) that I peed all over the seat? Do I leave it up so that she will know I wasn't the one who peed all over it? Do I clean the seat of pee that I didn't do for someone else I don't know?

The thoughts that ran through my head in that 60 seconds or so.

Put the seat up, and leave it up as you exit. It sucks for her, but it is not your job to clean the seat for her. You did not make the mess, and at most you can be embarrassed for the normal men of the world that would never pee on a toilet seat. There are plenty of jerk slobs out there unfortunately.

leave the seat up when you exit. At least she will know you didn't pee on it.
Pinch your nose as you leave...she might change her mind.

Clean the seat, wash your hands, feel good about leaving the world a little better.

Who can't aim through the seat opening? I do raise the seat, but I don't have to. If my aim was that bad I'd be peeing on the bowl rim as well with it running down onto the floor.

I seldom go into public restrooms. I'd rather pee on the dumpster out back.

A true dilema

I personally would have cleaned it up, cursed a bit to myself about the lack of common decency of the kid, then scrubbed my hands with irrational amounts of soap

After all your out for ice cream with your daughter, so its objectively a good day. A little pee spray shouldednt ruin that

you missed a teachable moment.

i would have let the young lady go ahead of me. two things. you don't get blamed for the bad aiming, and she gets to deal with the dribble.

BOOM. you go in and kick up the seat with a foot.

In the sink or on the floor?

(I'd have cleaned it up and pushed the ball of tp on the floor into a corner. Stuff like that can ruin small business.)

Of course you clean it up. If we all just did exactly what it is to do our job and nothing more, this would be a poor world indeed. We all do more than our share.

I would have cleaned off the seat after I finished. (and then washed my hands really thoroughly)

Exactly. This isn't a dilemma, this is life.

Clearlake state park has the best bathrooms.

very unlike my typical state park experience. I once had to GO!!! I shuffled to the room and it was locked. right away an old lady comes out. I walk in and see she used 4 of those toilet paper shield things. they were soaked!! not sure with what, but could make a guess.

I took them off, and there is this virus going around and I have wipes everywhere. my PFD was no exception. I wiped the seat down, washed my hands and well...proceeded to do unholy thing..ahh.nevermind.

my childhood doc told me you cant catch much sitting on a dirty toilet seat. it stuck with me.

You must be the only guy who's never experienced the dreaded split-stream or fan effect.
