"Ladies, we can do better than this!"

She's right.

We can.

Jenna Fischer (you probably know her from The Office) was on Jay Leno this summer, and I was reminded of a post I "started" when I saw on the news that she had her baby. (I made some quick notes about this post in July, and . . . well . . . we know how much blogging I got done this summer).

While on The Tonight Show, Jenna got up on a soap box that I can really get behind. It’s worth repeating and restating, as apparently it can’t be shared enough.

She started this hilarious public service announcement by sharing that she wanted women to start taking better care of the public bathroom facilities. As a pregnant woman, and through all her many trips to the restroom, she’s noticed a few issues. The first problem is when she leans up against the sink to wash her hands and gets a wet belly. Those signs in airplane bathrooms about cleaning up the sinks? She’d like us to start doing that everywhere. Great idea, Jenna!

And then she addressed my favorite people – the squatters.
You.know.who.you.are.
The freaks of nature who are afraid of getting some kind of disease by sitting on a toilet seat. Or maybe you’re concerned with sitting on some else’s bodily fluids.

You know why that happens?
BECAUSE YOU FREAKING SQUAT OVER THE TOILET. Jenna calls this the “hover and tinkle.”

Just Sit.On.The.Damn.Toilet.Already.

While you might be strenghening your quads, you’re not aiming properly. It’s okay- as women, our bodies are made this way. Just relax, sit down, and keep the seat clean for the rest of us. Otherwise you start a vicious cycle which makes others think they need to squat (or “hover”), thus producing gross toilet seats for the rest of us. Please end this practice immediately.

K. That rant is over now.

If you want to see Jenna’s, go here. It’s pretty hilarious.

Also . . . in case you’re wondering . . . she had a boy. His name is Weston Lee.
