Edit note: If you see urine on a seat, don't fret. Urine is a sterile substance. No way in hell you'll ever get any germs or bacteria from it. Hell, you're probably more likely to sterilize yourself and get cleaner by rubbing it all over you. Of course you'll smell like piss, but you'll be clean.

sure... but I always think that I'm going to get herpes or krabs from the toilet seat... I know it wouldn't actually happen. but it still freaks me out... plus I can't stand it when there is crap on the seat...
