The Missing Toilet Seats
Another thing that pisses me off in public CRs especially in malls are the missing toilet seats. I believe that these are intentionally removed so that it requires no maintenance. But for me who's very conscious on the various diseases that one can harbor in using public toilets, it is essential that these toilet seats, together with cleaned and sanitized CR facilities should be strictly implemented.
But somehow, we can't blame the owners of these facilities because most of the reasons for the missing toilet seats are due to improper use. Instead of replacing the damaged seats, it is much better to leave it that way.
Most of public CRs have vending machines where one can buy tissue and sanitary napkins. I happen to know from this one famous young actress that she always brought with her a disposable toilet seat cover that is shaped the same as that of a toilet seat. The material is the almost the same as a tissue paper but thicker. It also has antibacterial properties.
There are manufacturers of this disposable toilet seats. What is probably lacking is that these should be distributed in areas accessible to the user such as public CRs.
Using disposable toilet seats minimizes the incident of hands having direct contact with the rim of the toilet bowl. Wiping tissue paper or wet ones increases the probability of contracting diseases. Though the best way is still proper hand washing and sanitizing after CR breaks, whether with or without toilet seats. 4
