| The Toilet seat thing!!!
Posted: 1/14/2005 7:24:33 PM | after raising a boy i decided i will never share a toilet seat with a man again in my life! i solved the problem by purchasing a condo that has two bathrooms. i don't use my son's bathroom and he doesn't use mine! and anyone that visits my house and has to use his bathroom, which is really a guest bathroom, gets fair warning... that is the BOY'S bathroom & anything they see, smell or that happens to them while in that bathroom is not my fault! :)
getting the 2nd bathroom stopped all arguments about the lid being left up or wet, me falling in and soaking my hiney in the middle of the night, the screaming from the shock of it all @ 3am... all gone simply by getting my son his own bathroom!!! :)
and hey... guys... why is it that you're taught to pee standing up anyway? i just taught my son that way because i thought that was normal. because i'm a girl, i obviously have no need to lift the seat but if i had to lift it, i'd think it was my responsibilty to put it back down. but i suppose that goes both ways too. it's just all so confusing to me... if ya can't pee standing up without wetting the seat or putting the lid back down, why do you pee standing up at all? and when's the last time you went to the bathroom after a girl and sat in pee or fell in guys? unless you've used a public bathroom, i doubt you've ever fallen in or sat in pee. EWW!!! | |

Just an observation or two. If you are male, and you can't aim well, then sit -why don'tcha? Who will know if the door is closed.
My daughter is the only woman in a three male household and her two boys as well as her husband have no difficulty in putting the seat down - they also know how to aim, and do not contribute to changing the floor colour.
I'm in favour of keeping a lid on it - whenever it's not in use.

Posted: 1/15/2005 1:56:37 PM | A couple of things:
1. Consideration
2. Cleanliness
3. Differences
1. Consideration. If you leave the toilet seat down as a man, then the woman will usually note this and think of you as considerate for taking the time to put the seat down.
If you, man or woman, put the lid down, then you are being considerate towards the next user and you are undertaking a great habbit.
2. Cleanliness. As stated by LadyO, by having the lid down, you are preventing the spreading of germs. Have a bathroom in the house is very dirty in itself, but having a bathroom whose toilet seat is always up, is incredibly dirty and will cause a lot of germs to be in the air. Keeping the lid down is just good practice.
3. Differences. While men take on the "Look before you leap" saying in regards to this, their eyesight is way better than women's eyesight. This comes from the many years of being hunters for their families while the women stayed at home doing other tasks -- scientifically, it's the differences between the number of cones and rods in each gender's eyes. That being said, in the dark or in a morning groginess, a woman can stare at the toilet and completely miss the fact that the seat is not down.
Women see you leaving the seat up to be an act of carelessness and can take it personally or they can see it as lazyness. Of course, the same could be said of women.
Conclusion here, is both sexes should ensure that the seat and the lid is down. Also, women and men chose which fights to start and the continue; don't b*tch about the seat. If you continue to put the lid down after using the toilet, the other person will (normally) catch on. | |

Posted: 1/15/2005 4:03:38 PM | I will say this on that, I was raised where the majority of relatives were all women... so..
Here is the thing... training is wonderful... your BODY remembers the exact height of the toilet + seat.... so as you are lowering yourself at 3AM (please note, everyone here goes to the bathroom at the same time, has anyone thought of the engineering feat it is to design a sewer system capable of handling 10,000 simultaneous flushes???) your body knows that it can tell the knees to relax NOW... that three inch drop into ice cold water feels like a 20 foot drop, scares the hell out of you and THEN there is the cold... And NO WAY to stop your self... You are up for the night at this point...... I have done this... Not fun... So... over the years... I generally sit, it is easier, much... then there is no question... and is relaxing too... no arguments...
On the comments made about men and their aim... I agree... macho guys love talking about shooting guns and such and they can't hit a target (not talking the split stream syndrome here) 18 inches away and nearly a foot across... sad... they can hit a running dear with a 1/4 slug at 100 yards but... (sigh)... On the other hand, gals, I have Owned a restaurant, Managed one, worked in two others and worked in 2 gas stations over the years. Without fail, womens public restrooms are 300% more disgusting than any male restroom... If you don't believe me, ask anyone in the food industry, any walmart or similar employee or anyone that works at a service station... we may not be able to aim but what is it that YOU girls do in there?

Posted: 1/16/2005 6:14:42 AM | | Just me, but even though I am a guy.... I have an ensuite bathroom and there are no windows in there. so you really can't see at night. You have to either find it by feel or guess. I always sit down at night to deal with misses; when you are mostly asleep, it only makes sense. As we all wash our hands after :) it's no big deal to check if the seat is up or down in the dark; beats a wet ass! | |
