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.
