| When she complained about the toilet seat, is it over ?. Posted: 7/10/2008 3:19:18 PM | Of course it's fun! And I don't blame you in the least for playing now and then; I'm sure I'd do the same given the proper equipment. The morning radio show I listen to has one guy who positively glories in the time he took down a fly who was, er, whizzing by while he was standing at the urinal, and I laugh every time the story comes up--and feel a wee bit (I can't stop!) of envy.
Years ago I read a book that featured a woman standing and peeing off a rooftop. And the movie and musical The Full Monty featured a scene with women in the men's room, using the urinal while standing. Apparently it CAN be done, if you know exactly how to position your fingers and your stance--but I'd have the same objections regarding sanitation if women began utilizing any ol' passing tree to pee.

Now I suppose you'll want to hear all about my dreams of being naked...

wee-wee envy?
*sigh*
I've always wanted to write my name in the snow.
Well, the next time it snows run outside, hookup a water hose and..........
I'm sure you get the picture.
I think we (as a society) should start installing urinals in all domestic abodes. Maybe that would solve the delimma. | |

He knows that I don’t appreciate a “splash down” into bacterial infested waters if I have to use the commode in the middle of the night, so he puts the lid down. Get it? It’s all about taking the other person into consideration. These are not dramatic life altering changes. They’re truly “the little things that count”.
Ms. K, do I get any points if I have a nite light in said staging area to reduce the changes for a accidental, "splash down" and I also spent big bucks for that Kohler two stage slow mo toilet seat which never,ever slams down and to think that some of us do know in the little things that count.
P.S. Charmin is still the best tp! | |

Urinals for all! Now that's a campaign slogan. Let's go for bidets, too, while we're at it--much less need for toilet paper.
Just Jim: But have you tried Cottonelle?

Our place will have two toilets...one for me; one for her. I will leave mine my way, and she can leave hers her way. Aint it great to have a brain? | |

I dont know how anyone could possibly get mad with thier partner for something as little as leaving a toilet seat up!
Because the consequences can be horrible! I've got a small backside and I fall in - all the way in. One time I thought I broke my back hitting it on the porcelain.
If one compares the consequences of up or down, I think an accidental pee on the seat is minor compared to physical injury or an accidental douche of my privates in bacteria infested water.
I just can't understand a man thinking he would be a good catch if he can't even be accomodating on this matter. It speaks volumes of his general attitude and empathy.
I vote that right under "do you own a car?" on the profiles, toilet-lid preferences should be stated. | |

You have to look at it from her standpoint too. Maybe to her that was inconsiderate. Or maybe she felt like you didnt care because you knew she didnt like that but you did it anyway. I think that little gadget would have solved that problem but its the underlying problems that would have killed the relationship in the end. But I understand where you come from when you say if you lift it she can too. I personally hate touching the toilet seat. So I bought one of those peddle things you step on. Step on: lid goes up Step off: lid goes down. Just a thought | |

Geez, if it's up , put it down... we put it up if it is down... figure it out ladies, its really not a hard concept. It has 2 positions.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
If you're sharing a bathroom, BOTH (see: two people) parties need to be respected. I got so sick of that argument with the ex that I told her I'd start deliberately pissin' on the seat. She's a big girl...all growed up...she can check to see its current state of up or down before coppin' a squat.
Never had that argument again after that.
As for the OP - yea, we all know this was far more than just the current state of affairs in the bathroom. Once it gets to the nitpickin' stage, it's headed downhill fast. | |
