Speaking of 'care of public places', at my office, there's someone who is hygiene-minded enough to put paper all over the toilet seat, but not enough to put it into the bowl afterwards, and so just lets it fall onto the floor where it can get all manky. I've always thought that that was a very specific level of hygeine-OCD.

Apparently they don't want to touch it once it's made contact with the toilet seat and their butt. Probably 'contaminated' now.
And yes, small failures like that seriously annoy me because they leave the bathroom looking dirtier than when they came in.
(Or those people who do not flush properly - don't get me started on them...)

It surprises me that we don't have reliable self-cleaning toilets and bathrooms. We have people unwilling to do their bit to keep them remotely clean, and then others whose job involves cleaning up the excrement of others.
I can appreciate it's a difficult problem, but we have the means to change the design of the bowl itself and many other aspects. While there are self-cleaning pods in parks, I've never seen the approach taken to internal toilets.
