It happens to guys too or should I say it happened to a fellow I once knew when I was working in the restaurant business. The fellows name was Norm, he was the head bus boy, & was a real kiss butt to the hostess who was the one to divide up the tips among all of them. He had this real arrogant, chip on the shoulder, I'm so specialness about him & addressed kitchen help & bus boys alike with the phrase "Hey Sport!" Well, I'll never forget the day he came out of the employees bathroom with the back of his drawers absolutely drenched. He didn't need to say a thing, kitchen help & bus boys alike knew what had happened. Norm didn't check the seat!

He may have even come to understand the words, "What goes around, comes around."

Cecil Adams dealt with that back in '99, in a Straight Dope piece called Does flushing the toilet cause dirty water to be spewed around the bathroom? You're right on the nature of toilet aerosol. I know I shut the lid before flushing. And, hell, my wife and I each have our own bathroom.

The Straight Dope piece takes the topic beyond this, however. Further research would show that "the bathroom was hardly the most dangerous part of the house, microbe-wise."
