Fancy yourself as an agony aunt? Add your answer to this question! A

The only way you'd catch them on a toilet seat or from clothing; is if you wore his infested underwear, or were sitting on his lap cowgirl-style while he was on the toilet.
You caught them from him. The other possibilities given have a very low probability rate. They cling to the hair-shaft in pubic hair and lay their sticky eggs there.
He's quite clever. He got himself treated for deniability.

How well did you examine the specimen? They're pretty small so perhaps you confused it with something else... a tick perhaps or a body louse (which is different but closely related to the crab louse and lives pretty happily in public hair but prefers to lay its eggs in clothes.... have you borrowed anyone's clothes lately?

 Pubic lice are generally transmitted through sexual contacts, but it is possibile, although uncommon, to get them through contact with bedsheets, towels, or other induments ( lingerie, swimming suits .. ) etc. recently used by an infested person.
That you can get them by using a public toilet is a popular urban legend , because , luckily, the pesky little beasts do NOT jump, and one would need to rub their pubic area against the toilet seat to get them this way.

There's quite a bit on the internet about this. Here's one of the first statements....
"Crabs: Slang for pubic lice, parasitic insects that can infest in the genital area of humans. Pubic lice are usually spread through sexual contact. Rarely, infestation can be spread through contact with an infested person's bed linens, towels, or clothes."
The key word here is "rarely." It is possible. I've heard that hotel rooms, gyms and public rest rooms are possibilities.

Pubic lice found on children may be a sign of sexual exposure or abuse. Occasionally, pubic lice may be spread by close personal contact or contact with articles such as clothing, bed linens, or towels that have been used by an infested person. A common misconception is that pubic lice are spread easily by sitting on a toilet seat. This would be extremely rare because lice cannot live long away from a warm human body and they do not have feet designed to hold onto or walk on smooth surfaces such as toilet seats."https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/lice/pubic/gen_info/faqs.html
