I stand all the way up. I've probably already commented in this thread because I find this unusually fascinating. I seriously had no idea whatsoever that people sat when they wiped until one time when I was 10-or-so my brother's friend walked in on me while I was wiping (I had the door resting on the latch, but not properly closed), and he was like "OMG why is the door open and why do you stand up when you wipe?!"

It blew my mind on two levels because 1) I had no idea that you were supposed to push the door all the way closed and that having it rest on the latch didn't count as a closed door and 2) for a LONG time I was like, "wtf, people sit down while they wipe?"

Since I take an insane amount of shits in public restrooms these days, I sit down when I wipe a lot now (damned auto-flush toilets!), but there are a lot of times where I do this awkward stand-up-but-duck-your-head-low-enough-so-that-you-can't-see-over-the-top-of-the-stall thing, and it's like woah on the socially awkward penguin richtor scale.
