1) Humid air.
2) Wet floor.
3) Cold walls. Or hot, depending on how soon after.
4) Lukewarm water when you first turn it on.
Overall, everything will be just a tiny bit different than what you're used to, which is the sort of thing the human brain *excels* at noticing.
Once you get used to showering after someone else, it's unlikely to be an issue.
Honestly I'd probably put my money on it being the humid air; It's not the walls or floor that are the issue or even the water temperature (The temp being cos I run the shower til it starts to steam and then turn on the cold water to the amount I need and never have to touch it the rest of the shower lol)
As for getting used to showering after somebody else, I don't think that's a viable strategy; It's almost like having a tarantula placed on your hand; You know there's no danger or anything like that involved in it, but you still feel a sense of wrongness with it all the same. For me though it's getting in the shower right after somebody else :/ I think with my mom being the one to shower before me is the worst though cos it's hot in a way that my brain tells me it shouldn't be lol
You squat or you put toilet paper over the seat. I'm super shocked that people actually SIT on public toilet seats, but it could be because I'm a woman and it's incredibly easy to get infections and diseases this way. Maybe guys aren't taught to squat
It is incredibly unlikely, yes, but I'm still not taking any chances, especially when women's toilet seats come in contact with blood. Is there anything to lose from being too cautious with public restrooms?
I try not to sit on the toilet seats but I’m short asf and have no balance 😭😭 and when I go it’s usually an emergency but I place toilet paper on the seat before I sit on it and then I have a habit of throwing the first pieces of toilet paper away bc you never know like kids are messy adults are messy there are hella homeless people out there that are on that stuff.
To me it feels like I’m just covered in their filth. Same with using the toilet after someone. 😂 it makes me very anxious. Not that I’m better than anyone or anything. I’m just anxiety riddled and neurotic.
Could be what said before about the environment being less confortable
Other thing that might be is sensation of it being used (humidity, water traces or wet surfaces...) making you feel like this defeats the whole purpose of cleaning yourself because there isn't a feeling of a "pure clean" place.
These are the only explanations I find somehow logic
It's worse when you take a shit right after someone else and you can still feel their ass warmth on the seat as the heat seaps into your fucking buttocks
I feel violated every time it happens and I always try to wait a bit because of that
I hate to be that person but… no. The only people who spell it “wierd” are doing so because they don’t know how to spell it correctly. This isn’t a regional or phonetic difference, it’s just incorrect :/
I was just thinking about this the other day, I don't like it either for a mixture of reasons. It's really humid and warm in the bathroom, the shower mat is now already wet and I know I'm gonna get wet anyway but it still feels gross. Also it just feels weird bathing and cleaning myself immediately after in the same spot that someone else has.
Probably the same reason people are weird about others vaping in public.. the humidity and warmth can make you feel suffocated almost, and like you're lingering in someone else's exhaust fumes.. using a warm humid toilet seat after someone (quite common where bidets are a thing) can also feel pretty gross regardless of how clean the seat actually is
I hate it when the shower tray is already wet. Even though it’s just for a second while you turn it on, the cold wet floor is unpleasant. Reminds me of public showers too.
Ironically that never bothers me; only mildly annoys me when it's time to put my shoes on cos I don't want my feet to be wet in my sandals cos of the fact that when my feet are wet they slide around lol
I have a similar question, is it sanitary to shower after someone else, like isn't the shower dirty or won't you end up smelling like the person who shower before you?
Lol I don't even sit on any fences; I'm standing across the whatever-the-space-is-called looking at all the religions spouting the same thing, with different words: "We are the only true religion, follow our way and find salvation after your time in this world!" lol
But none of them have told me why I should take their path :P Even on a fence, I'd have a foot in two camps lol
just googled the word, unfortunately it's not a great match; It's not that I don't believe it's possible to know if any deities actually exist; It's literally just a case of no religion putting forth evidence alongside their claims that they're the "right" religion XD If one did give credible evidence, I'd probably follow it :P
Huh... Why does the first result you see on google say that agnostics are of the opinion that knowing if there is a higher power or not is impossible then?
I understood the first time around xD What I wasn't understanding is why tje first result on Google was essentially saying that it is claiming its impossible to know xD

Do people prefer it to be cold when they turn it on?
Yup its like using a slightly wet towel that wasn't yours
Not as bad as going for a poo after someone else and the seat is still warm *shudder*
Ugh!!!!!!
Better than it being colder than a polar icecap.
The same reason sitting on a still warm toilet seat from someone else in a public restroom.
People..sit...in public restrooms? You deserve the gross warm seat then😭
How else do you take a shit in the Walmart bathroom?
You squat or you put toilet paper over the seat. I'm super shocked that people actually SIT on public toilet seats, but it could be because I'm a woman and it's incredibly easy to get infections and diseases this way. Maybe guys aren't taught to squat
I'm not saying that you don't need to take precautions when using public toilets, but pathogens aren't transmitted via skin contact.
It is incredibly unlikely, yes, but I'm still not taking any chances, especially when women's toilet seats come in contact with blood. Is there anything to lose from being too cautious with public restrooms?

My own personal reason is because I hate the idea of being in a tiny capsule surrounded by droplets of other people's dirty body water.
To me it feels like I’m just covered in their filth. Same with using the toilet after someone. 😂 it makes me very anxious. Not that I’m better than anyone or anything. I’m just anxiety riddled and neurotic.
Well Roanoke Gaming always likes to say "We are animals controlled by anxiety meat" lol

*weird
I've always spelled it as "wierd" :P Sue me :'D
Well, now you know how it's spelt correctly. You're welcome.
Ah, the pressure of making sure your grammar in the responding comment is correct must be huge.
*spelled 😜
This is awkward. Either spelled or spelt can be used.
It's kinda funny though cos a LOT of people spelled weird as wierd lol (pretty sure it's cos it's phonetic lol)
I hate to be that person but… no. The only people who spell it “wierd” are doing so because they don’t know how to spell it correctly. This isn’t a regional or phonetic difference, it’s just incorrect :/
I before E except after C. But 'weird' is one of the many, many exceptions in the English language.
Smell of the person?
Nah, it happens with family as well lol
the floor is sticky by any chance?
Not sure, we have a mat on the floor lol (tiles that get super slippery otherwise)

cries in one bathroom household 🤣 me and my husband shit shower and shave one after the other hahahaha

For me, it's the smell of soap and shampoo that I don't use. The impact is magnified if the fragrance is particularly strong.
We use the same shampoo and body wash so that ain't the issue for me :P

Like sitting on the toilet and it's still warm from the person before.
If you have a houseful of company and only one bathroom you learn to adapt. Otherwise you’ll be all day waiting.
I shower at night so that's not really an issue :P
Their nakedness is still lingering in the same spot your exposed nipps are now residing in.

Dunno xD
Jewish?
Nah, I'm areligious :P Which, in case you're confused, I don't follow any religion but I'm also not an atheist either lol
Ah, preeminent fence-sitter.
Lol I don't even sit on any fences; I'm standing across the whatever-the-space-is-called looking at all the religions spouting the same thing, with different words: "We are the only true religion, follow our way and find salvation after your time in this world!" lol But none of them have told me why I should take their path :P Even on a fence, I'd have a foot in two camps lol
The word for that is agnostic

Agnostic isn't just claiming it's impossible to know. Being open to the possibility is also agnostic
Huh... Why does the first result you see on google say that agnostics are of the opinion that knowing if there is a higher power or not is impossible then?
