| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 4/4/2007 10:51:19 AM | i have a joke on my profile, "the rules for women". a friend asked me to explain.
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us griping about you leaving it down.
in general, it's true. up or down; really, what's the difference? but guys think like guys, women like women. and women think staring at a dirty, nasty toilet bowl rim is disgusting; the view of a clean seat (with or without embedded decoration, with or without the lid down) is simply more esthetically pleasing. (women also know that the proper way to clean a toilet includes cleaning the outside of the bowl, the pedestal, and the tank --more esthetic and, well, clean [but, i am not here to bash men's housekeeping skills...that would be the pot calling the kettle black. ].)
added advantage of lid down - stops spread of germs with flushing. i'd be more than happy to settle for seat down.  | |

| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 4/4/2007 11:14:07 AM | I never thought the toilet seat issue was a big deal. I mean how lazy can a woman be to put the seat down for herself? LOL..... Some men do put it down as a courtesy to them women they are with, my ex was like that, but we never actually ever needed to discuss that issue, he just did it. :)
theres worse things in the world to worry about than a toilet set being up or down. | |

| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 4/5/2007 7:24:13 AM | I hate it when some broad leaves the seat down! Here she has had her sweaty ass all over the thing and that has been god knows where. Then I come along and have to wizz ! I have to touch that seat to lift it then hold on to The Master of The Universe? Ladies give us a break LEAVE THE SEAT UP! After all, it's you who will and up with the UTI!

| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 4/5/2007 9:33:56 AM | I'm probably betraying my own kind by saying this..but ladies, I'm just not with you on the whole yelling at men to remember to put the seat back down thing. I grew up around guys, and being guys, the seat was never down..and if it was, there was piss on it.
I can only recall one bare assed blunder into the cold water of the bowl..because I learned real quick to look first! As its going to be your ass in the water, not his, the incentive to adapt is all yours. He gets ****ed at, but its clearly not enough to produce the desired effect.
The only men I've seen change at all...simply stop putting the seat up in the first place. Therefore, they don't forget to put the seat back down, and you don't fall in. Sweet, everybody wins..except he's pissing on the seat and you're sitting in it. Eww! | |

| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 4/5/2007 1:32:38 PM | | i find it takes forever to get the girl trained to leave the dam thing up when she's done | |
|
| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 4/5/2007 3:51:31 PM | | Everything should be down, including the lid. It just looks better. You'd never see a toilet bowl staring at you if you were looking to buy a house. There's a reason. An open bowl doesn't make the bathroom look nice! | |
|
| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 4/6/2007 7:22:40 PM | Yes! Seat AND lid should be down. Not so much for looks, but because my cat, Spenser, likes to play in the toilet. He's a little **stard but I love him... I just don't like his wet, little, toilet-water paws all over my furniture...
Oh, and please remember to jiggle the handle a bit after you flush...

| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 4/6/2007 10:23:55 PM | I did half as much. I installed the toilet seat myself. It was one of the cushiony seat ones. It automatically flopped back down to the "womans" side. Any male body who used it- quickly learned they had to hold the seat in the up position while peeing....unless they wanted to pee sitting down the rest of their lives. LOL
Man I loved that toilet seat.....I'll be damned- some ass wipe got upset about getting his weener wacked- and put a different one on. I did my part.....he just undid it.  | |
|
| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 11/29/2008 11:27:29 PM | I couldn't care less about the toilet seat being up or down as long as you males haven't p***ed all over it  | |
|
| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 11/30/2008 6:36:10 PM | **shrugs** toilet seat up, toilet seat down never mattered much to me. when I had cats, they never drank out of the toilet. it didn't take much for me to see where the seat was, did I need to use it after a guy had.
I know it's the little things in a relationship that are the deal breakers and I have mine, too. this isn't one of them! | |
|
| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 12/10/2008 2:29:27 PM | I am surprised and glad to see all the women that this it being up is not a big issue or deal breaker. I have had a lot of ex-gf get mad at me if I forgot to put it back down. Now to my gripe - Not sure if this should be a new topic or not, but any guy's have the issue to going to take a piss, reach over the raise the seat and then when you see the bottom of the seat you get sick at the stomach? Girls, think about what you are doing, guys dont want to see what missed or splashed up on the underside of the seat either. yuck! I will let you girls use your imagination on this one, and it is really bad when I have to go wash my hands after I touch the stuff and also need to pee really badly. Stop, go to sink, wash hands then go back and pee, then repeat process. So it goes both ways girls! | |

| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 12/10/2008 2:32:59 PM | | Honestly....if the toilet seat is going to be the only problem, I'll take it! | |

| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 1/2/2009 1:07:05 PM | When I was married I put the toilet set down in most cases,, Guys I'm sure this has happened to most of you,, the dam rug thing some woman put on the toilet seat lid,,
you pick up the lid and the seat,, lay it against the tank,, unzip pull out your man hood,, just start to pee, and every thing slams shut, as you quickly move, to save your man hood from being run over by a toilet seat,, , pee all over yourself and the floor,, now I pisses on and off........ LOL..
So I say to my wife here is the deal,, I'll keep the seat down if you don't put any more of those covers over it,, agreed,, if not I'm leaving the seat down while I piss, it's not supposed to be a war zone when I pee... | |

Honestly....if the toilet seat is going to be the only problem, I'll take it! I was thinking about two bathrooms.. | |
|
| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 1/2/2009 2:10:24 PM | In the grand scheme of things ..its only a toilet seat I raised 2 boys and I got tired talking about toilet seats...I was more concerned about their aim | |
|
| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 1/2/2009 2:24:41 PM | Honestly, if you "big boys" are getting your weensies slammed, maybe you want to pee standing up and not kneeling in front of the bowl?  | |
|
| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 1/2/2009 2:26:46 PM | Separate bathrooms is the answer to a LOT of things! You clean yours, he cleans his. Lid wherever you want it. Toothpaste splatters on mirrors, hair in the sink: bingo, no longer a problem. Now if we could figure out the thermostat thing.
However for good feng shui the lid and seat should stay down when not in use (bringing luck into the house). The Asians think your good luck and health and wealth (chi) escape through open toilets. You can look it up.
Not to mention as said earlier--when selling a house, the whole shebang should be always down. And doors to bathrooms closed, too. | |
|
| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 1/2/2009 2:44:33 PM | Yawn, I learned about leaving the toilet seat down 20 years ago, its habit - geez, if you can't handle the little things in life and turn it into a major issue, what the heck are you looking for a relationship for?
Sure, I might (rarely) forget, but nobody is perfect. (ps, I'm single of course now, its down right now... is it that big a deal?). | |

Honestly, if you "big boys" are getting your weensies slammed, maybe you want to pee standing up and not kneeling in front of the bowl? I'm sure you have heard this,, not only is the water cold but deep too..  | |
|

I'm sure you have heard this,, not only is the water cold but deep too..
Ive heard of Bigfoot too but have never seen it either.  | |

| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 1/2/2009 4:47:07 PM | It is one of my biggest pet peeves.
Come on it's a common courtesy thing.
When you go to a restaurant/family members house. Do you leave the seat up? | |
|
| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 1/2/2009 6:17:41 PM | | Heh, I say if he can put it up I'm willing to push it back down. Really it only takes moments. =\ As long as there isnt a puddle on the seat I'm good to go! | |

unzip pull out your man hood,, just start to pee, and every thing slams shut, as you quickly move, to save your man hood from being run over by a toilet seat,,
Norm...shhhh not all men experience that which you just described.... | |
|
| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 1/2/2009 9:27:25 PM | | Honestly I look. Even if I'm half asleep and it's 2-3 am. So to me it really doesn't matter. However, I have discovered that my cat does not look and I'm not very interested in having to bathe my cat, who has a full set of claws, because she took a nice dive into the toilet. | |
|
| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 1/3/2009 1:38:00 AM | 1. in feng shui the seat needs to be down as they believe that's how the energy gets drained out of the house.
2. small animals drown in toilet, ive seen big cats die that way when i was in school.
3. it's considerate and shows mannerism. | |
