Restroom etiquite; lift, or split?

What is the proper way to relieve yourself? Lift both aprons, or split them away to their appropriate side?

I've been splitting. Seems easier.

If there is no need to sit, I lift both aprons. If I need to sit (no pun intended) I usually remove my kilt and hang it up or lay it across my legs. No big deal and it is easy to get back on. I think what works for you is best!

When standing, I lift both aprons. Besides being easier for me, the kilt gives a privacy screen between urinals that don't have barriers.

When sitting, I invariably take the kilt off and hang it on the coat hook on the door, or over the door if there's no hook. I have to gather the back when I'm in a greatkilt (no off-and-on with that sucker!), and I have no desire to do that on a day to day basis.

I used to split, then changed when I considered the "shake" at the end (don't want errant drops on the front).

Standing I lift both aprons, sitting I take the kilt off and hang it on the door.

I have read of this before, but don't think one has to worry too much around where we live, but what if someone grabs your kilt thinking it might be a jacket with some valuables in the pocket. Lets hope you have a long shirt, or just go out in your sporan and look for it, if you even have that on.

I lift and wrap like others have said. I have also noticed that if one does the "kilt twist" your pleats usually go back into position. Just besure some aren't flipped up in back.

DALE.

I never even considered that someone might swipe it. Probably because of our location, aye. If I travel, and there's no hook, I'll probably do the fold it in your lap idea.
