Poll: Do you sit or stand?

[Boris Goodenough]

I squat/lean.

How do you sit and wipe as a guy? Not enough room in the front and not enough room in the back to get a hand past.

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

Now suddenly I feel compelled to add my voice to this confused crowd.

How exactly does one stand and wipe? Doesn't standing kind of push your cheeks together? How could you properly wipe the bit that's actually dirty that way? Surely you're only getting the outlying area?

CAPTCHA: Kind of appropriate I think, number erpoo.

Seriously, what the shit?

People get up from the toilet and then wipe their arse? That makes no sense to me and I have never heard of that before I read it here.

To the people saying it's not physically possible to wipe while sitting, is your ass like 3 meters wide or something? Or do you have the tiniest toilet in the world?

Ok, how many after reading this, tried doing it the other way?

Lean and fold. I do not understand how you people can stand and wipe. This is the real cause of Broken Britain I reckon!

I just had an eye opening experience reading this article, http://deadspin.com/#!5424415/sitters-vs-standers--the-great-wipe-hope. I was amazed to find out that people would stand rather than sit. I am very curious and would like to do a little poll of the escapist community's habits.

I stand more. It feels better on my legs, oddly enough. <3

Given the subject matter this reads badly!

 

[Griffolion]

I stand....

MEN OF THE WEST!

Sorry, got carried away.

Seriously though, i stand so i'm almost in a state of constant readiness should anything happen. That extra split second to get up out of your seat may be the difference between life or death.

Who the eff would stand up to wipe? You're essentially crop-dusting tiny little particles of poo onto everything...the seat, the surroundings, your pants and underpants, your boots...it's disgusting. If you stay sitting all that microscopic poop just continues to fall right in the toilet. Not to mention standing with your pants around your ankles for minutes on end would get uncomfortable. Better to stay sitting until you're clean.

I can't believe some of you stand up. What a bunch of filthy jerks. You can forget shaking my hand from now on.

minutes? as in several? man you sure take wiping serious. On healthy days where I eat sensible I can't imagine what I would be doing for minutes on end (not to mention the crazy toilet paper bills)

sitter btw

 

[Latinidiot]

people stand? Insane! I just sit, it's easier that way.

 

[putowtin]

Holy crap, people stand and wipe?

What are you people?!

odd is the answer you are searching for my friend!

 

[Dieter Meyer]

This is has to be one of the most interesting things I've read in a LONG time. I really do love how both the sitters and the standers are surprised at people doing differently.

Myself, I sit... How on earth do you stand while wiping? and WHY stand up, just to wipe? please do not tell me you guys push it out while standing aswell?

*shocked*

 

[ChocoFace]

Definitely going to try The Washington soon. It sounds so sophisticated!

 

[SenseOfTumour]

I sit and thought that was the norm, seems standers think its the norm too however

I can't see how it's hard to imagine tho, I just lean to one side and reach back.

Reminds me of the old joke from my school tho:

"do you use your left or right hand to wipe your bum?"

"left"

"ewww! NORMAL people use toilet paper!" *points and runs away*

I did say it was from schooldays

 

[royohz]

A lot of people don't seem to get how to sit. I had no idea people actually stand! That's disgusting.

 

[A Concerned Spoon]

Well I must say when I first read the article I had a sneaking suspicion that it was a joke that people stood to wipe. This poll, however, seems to prove that there is a nearly even split between standers and sitters. Thanks for providing a little insight into this little facet of nature.

I pay a nearby hobo to clean me with his tongue. Extra if he's just been drinking.
The ethanol vapors make me burn in the most pleasant way.
