No? I must have gone to very different school than you!

Have people actually punched toilet water while wiping somehow? Is that a real fear people have? It has never even occurred to me as a possibility. You lean forward a little and turn slightly to lift a cheek--your hand isn't even really going past the rim. How did you think people wiped while sitting?

This is one of the weirdest conversations I've ever had...

The athletic position is just slightly bending your knees to give you a lower center of gravity. Look at how linebackers/cornerbacks line up in football or you'll see the stance of a defender in basket ball where their knees are bent and hands up or on thighs. Obviously your hands are wiping your butt in this scenario lol

In a lot of european countries there are still toilets with the elevated floor standing WC.

Mostly a relic of old times where people were controlling their poop to check if they are healthy etc.

Your poop is very close to your hand then. I think thats where stand wiping origins from.
