How do you best handle using the washroom (long term sit down situations obviously) while wearing suspenders? Its not like you want to just let them touch the floor.

It's disgusting.

Disgusting.

If this is a major issue for you, take your trousers to the tailor and have one of these installed:

String each side around the top corners of the stall door and close. Then, lean back.

You won't even need to use the toilet seat if you have correct suspender length.

It's sort of like two-birds-in-one-hand Pilates.

you're willing to press your bare thighs onto a seat doubtlessly covered in the feces, urine, and god-knows-what-else of thousands of predecessors before you, yet you're worried about your suspenders touching the floor??! just dont use public restrooms.

I don't poop in public. Not once. Not ever.

This picture is classic. There is an ass in there, but no hands, feet, or head.

If you can get your body on it's own clock, you'll probably never need to sit during a business day.

Are you serious?!?!?!? If you've ever had to go you don't wrap the seat in toilet paper? Sick!

Well, if he's in the "if it's enough of an emergency that I'm willing to **** in a public bathroom, it's too much of an emergency to bother with coating the seat" camp, it makes sense

One of the most practical reasons to squat and deadlift the massive numbers put up by most StyleForvm members in the fitness threads in which they post is the ability to "hover" a mere centimeter above a public toilet seat.

You have to do this with your arms extended out front, though. Don't ask me how I know.

The more important issue: shoe recognition

Do you really want to risk being recognized by your peers (sorry this is SF; subordinates) while you're relaxing on the throne? A pair of brown SF-approved shoes do just that.

I recommend either resting your feet against the stall door or changing into a pair of black Kenneth Coles before entering the rest room.
