Yeah, I have. But not because I pushed it into my anus, usually because the paper ripped, or there was insufficient coverage, but it was still an external affair.

You hope, but you don’t really know where your leavings are, because you’re blocking sight of them with your body.

How so? Moving away from your pile of shit rather than sitting right above it to wipe is ridiculous?

I’ve broken a seat or two by shifting my weight, so it’s not exactly overstated to say that leaning every time I shit wouldn’t result in more broken seats than not leaning.

I am also not sticking my hand into my anus. If you are, you’re a little too “vigorous” in your wiping.

So, you lean over far enough to get your hand completely under you, but above the rim of the toilet? Seems like a risk of either falling to the side, or breaking the toilet seat. Standing is much simpler.

You hope. But you’re not looking or watching where your hand is in relation to anything inside, so it’s just a matter of time, really.

Yeah, standing to keep your hands from even inadvertantly touching the poop you’ve been piling under you is criminally insane. Definitely. Reaching under you, where you’ve been piling said poop, with the hope that you didn’t pile it higher than you think, but without being able to look makes much more sense.

Hate is a strong word. Maybe slight disgust.

You scoot, someone else told me to lean. I’m still not going to stick my hand “slightly” into a wet, filthy, smelly hole that I can’t see into and hope I don’t touch anything. Standing is much easier and less prone to any poop touching issue.

Seems like simply standing and bending over a bit leads to the same end, without the chance of leaning too far and falling, or potentially breaking the seat by placing all of your weight on one side (and one hinge) rather than distributed around the perimeter.

You’ve never been sick and had poop that either floated, or piled high enough to break the surface? I commend you on your health.

Standard? I’ve never been told to do that, nor have I ever heard anyone else do that. I’ve never been in a public restroom and heard people do multiple flushes.

No, you’re reaching into the toilet, without being able to see, and hoping you don’t end up splashing around.

It has nothing to do with how thick my hands are but how high my poop sometimes gets. And it’s probably more paranoia than anything else, but why even risk it? Standing up removes any chance of accidentally touching something in a filthy toilet bowl. I mean, I can’t see what’s going on down there if I’m still sitting,…

No, I now know where your hands have been.

You reach into a toilet and you think standing to wipe is disgusting?

Bah, shitting blood isn’t that unusual, at least for me. Of course, my gall bladder’s been removed, before that it wasn’t working correctly, every bug I get is expressed through my bowels, and I’m forced to spend more time in a bathroom than I’d really like to. Every now and then, when I’ve got a stomach bug, I’m just…

Wait, you stick your hand down into the toilet you just shit in to wipe? What if it made a pile higher than you expect? Or, especially if it’s an unfamiliar toilet, the top is closer to the water than you’re expecting?

To me, the question came down to their defense. They’d been doing well for the first three quarters, but the defense in the 4th was horrible. You could tell they were winded and banged up. They were missing reads and getting burned. I didn’t trust the defense to make a stop at that point. But I figured Rodgers had a…
