| When she complained about the toilet seat, is it over ?.
Posted: 10/16/2006 5:50:39 PM | I had been living with the ex-common for over a year, and one day she was whining that I had left the toilet seat up. (of course it was after she fell in during the night)
NOW, I am not asking whether UP or DOWN is important !
But upon reflection (not looking in the bowl), I think it was a sign that the 'beginning of the end' was near... we were together for another two years, before the relationship finally collapsed. (the toilet seat was too sturdy to collapse under that ...-... )
I quite clearly still remember the argument, because I figured and TOLD her, that there is a SEAT and a LID, and if I have to lift and lower, SHE CAN TOO !
I think intolerance for each other started then, and it still is likely something I observe when dating.
Guess this is why I am still single ? | |

Posted: 10/16/2006 6:03:08 PM | I wish I had that problem!  Really I do. I wish I had someone to leave the seat up, I would never complain.  I wonder if anyone lost their wife or husband in death, and if they could come back to us....would we insist they leave the seat up or down??? I would just be so happy he was with me to complain. I have "fallen" in before, but I just got up and put it down...nothing to really complain about.  | |

OR
Are you saying that you observe women being "intolerant" when dating?
PS ... I could care less about a "seat" position. I've never been in such a trance when entering a bathroom that I haven't noticed if the seat is up or down. If I forget to look ... my bad luck ... | |

I think the intolerance for each other started then. Observing the toilet seat behavior is likely something I still do when dating. LOL
EDIT: RE #5 msg... I am wondering why people bother to get upset or are intolerant of the 'small things' ? I know I get upset when a behavior costs me cash, like leaving the lights on, food spoiling in the fridge, and someone drives to the grocery store to buy one item.
And yes, it seems easier to use the toilet paper when it rolls off, over the top. | |

Posted: 10/16/2006 7:06:00 PM | | small things like toilet paper and toilet seats don't end relationships. but yes it is a sign if these little things cause huge problems. there is deeper underlying issues that are being expressed through these minor issues. i.e. one of you doesn't really want to be in this relationship but doesn't have the Onions to leave. | |

Posted: 10/16/2006 7:06:41 PM | | I think probably for her it was showing that you weren't being curtious, maybe? It's just one of those things. It bothers some, but not others. If you knew it bothered her then you should have been more careful. If I did something that bothered someone I was with (no matter how dumb it seemed), I would do what I could to please them...within reason! LOL | |

Posted: 10/16/2006 7:12:29 PM | Had a girlfriend once who trained me to always put down the lid after I am done.
On a related note I had a date once with a woman who had two teenage girls. I went in to use their bathroom and saw that the toilet was so nasty I would not stand in front of it. Needless to say I never saw her again.
She should forgive you for forgetting about the seat as it happens.
I've never fallen in myself after 40 years so I must have a good sense of being accident-prone. However I once fell out of a shower stall and landed on my back on the toilet, breaking it off of its bolts. That hurt!

Posted: 10/16/2006 7:16:57 PM | Well the leaving the seat up would be better than leaving it down, and leaving it wet.... Try sitting down on a wet seat in the middle of the night and then having to take a shower....after your thru with all that...you are awake and a little mad...so guys if you want to break up a relationship leave the seat down and wet on it.... | |

Posted: 10/16/2006 7:23:15 PM | She just sounds like an annoyed woman who got wet for all the wrong reasons.
The end? Bah! What are you talking about? This thread is about her end, but is it about the end of the relationship? Doubtful. | |

Posted: 10/16/2006 7:30:20 PM | | Well, shoot. Way I was raised, its just common courtesy. If it broke ya'll up, though, well...like they said earlier, some kind of underlying issues. But take a hint, and be a gent, and always put it down. Its just respectful. | |

Posted: 10/16/2006 7:35:54 PM | | I have been married twice and any time my wives complained about me leaving the seat up I would just do my thing then with the seat down. Told them it was there choice! Who am I to be providing advice. I am single again LOL Not for that reason though. If a relationship ends over a toilet seat then it wasn't a good relationship to start with! | |

My neighbor, when I was growing up, was the district judge of a sparsely populated community. (My parents and he and his wife are still best friends.) He said, "Quinn, do you know what the secret of a happy marriage is? Separate bathrooms and separate bank accounts." | |

Thought this a sign that you were finally comfortable with each other, the honeymoon was over, and the relationship was now starting in earnest. | |

Posted: 10/16/2006 8:12:13 PM | no it just means she's tired of getting her ass wet when she needs to get up at 3am to pee.
or it could mean more, sometimes the toilet seat issue isn't really about the toilet seat at all.
try putting the seat down and see , if she stops beeyatching then yer safe
if not , well , they don't call it the crapper fer nothin. | |

Posted: 10/16/2006 8:20:24 PM | | Yes, my friend, there are many more important things in life, I was just expressing a pet peeve, that is all sweets, just expressing one of my personal pet peeves, not meant at all to upset you. | |

I thought about writing that very sentiment, but it seemed so obvious--but I guess it wasn't--that I had to make fun of the question.
People are odd . . . | |

1. i am a woman and prefer both seat and lid down for hygenic reasons (germs in the air etc..), so whosoever uses it lifts and lowers anyway, no powerplay, plus i have nice toilet seat, so when both lid and seat are down i can see the design on it, alot more eye-pleasing than looking at the waste bowl and thinking what goes in there, ew..!
2. intolerance - how compatibale are the two persons after all if they always have to "tolerate" each others? and the bit about "she can too", well, she can open doors for herself too, and maybe even pull seat out for you when you take her out to dinner! but its just so uncharming and unromantic!
see, if you two cant agree on something this small, and both of you consider "sticking to your own convinient habit" more important than "pleasing the other", how loving is that relationship? but if things like this happen all the time and wear like a burden, i guess you two are just plain uncompatible! | |

Posted: 10/16/2006 9:06:59 PM | If she ended a realtionship because of a toilet seat , then something is wrong with her.
If a woman complains that they sit in toilet water at 3am because the toilet seat was up , then there is a common sense problem, not thinking even automatically, if someone assumes the toilet seat is down and closed , would not anyone feel for the toilet lid , open it and sit on the seat, who ever sits on the lid ? One always opens the lid , right ?
Yeah guys , after peeing place the lid the way she wants it , you love her treat her like you do.
I am annoyed like that woman who mentioned the roll of toilet paper coming down from the back, everywhere I go I have to turn them and if the toilet is dirty , i clean them first and after , it is a secret pet peeve , funny for a guy who used to work in sewers as a teen .
My wife used to want the lid open and the seat up at all times , it was reverse , one day some baby mice were dead and trying to get out as she sat so since that day toilet open completely for her inspeccion before use, we used to live out in the country. I sure miss her . | |
