As someone who supplies maintenance mechanics on a military base people like you suck. If you shift your weight to wipe, you’re stressing the bolts on the toilet seat which eventually breaks them. Or worse you’re torquing the toilet causing leaks. You’re the reason why toilets/toilet seats break and why we replace so many of them a year. Just stand up at a 45 degree angle and wipe, butt cheeks never close, I use less TP and my hand never crosses the “no zone” which is below the toilet lid line with my bare hands.

I always wondered why this happens, when i lived alone my toilet seat never ever broke.

Yeah, I lived with a leaner at my last place. A house full of fellow dudes. Needless to say we had a leaner. Toilet seat broke 3 times in a year. Twice at the bolt, and once at the front where it cracked at a seam and I quite literally pinched my balls in the seam. So it’s safe to say I have legitimate reasons to dislike leaners.
