When will Women ever learn to put the Toilet set back up after they use it

[Quixote1818]

I swear it it takes so much energy for me to have to pick it up. I bet I burn 1/2 a calorie doing so. It's simply a matter of being considerate to others.





Let the flames begin! I am ready! :evilgrin: :hurts:

1. Actually I always wondered why men didn't use that argument.

Women have always said "why don't you men put the seat down?" but then I thought "Hey, they could just as easily say the same thing, because most of the time when they use it, they have to have the seat UP."

I always thought if I was a really smart-ass man married to a real bitchy shrew, I'd just not raise the seat. That way she'd never have to lower it. Isn't that nice of me?

[slutticus]

8. I just pee on the seat when they leave it down

:evilgrin:


Hell, I miss the toilet entirely most of the time anyway! :D

[JVS]

31. Ditto

[Bok_Tukalo]

9. I know a guy who, after divorce, never put the seat down

I always figured it was some kind of weird, personal protest.

[lastknowngood]

2. It's not a complex piece of equipment if they can't operate it then

they shouldn't be using it.

[realisticphish]

16. so why can't women put it down?

if they can't operate it, they shouldn't be using it

[Left Is Write]

27. "Up" is not the natural position for the seat to be in.

That's like leaving the cupboard door or a drawer open. Or the washing machine lid open.

[realisticphish]

29. its not a lid, or a door

its a SEAT. meant to be sat upon, not cover the toilet. men use the restroom more often, so it would make sense to leave it in the position more convenient for the majority of total family bathroom visits.

[Left Is Write]

30. There is a lid on the toilet, and the seat must be down

for the lid to be closed. And, lid notwithstanding, "up" is still not the natural position for the seat to be in.

I can guarantee you that the number of seated visits to the bathroom exceeds the number of standing visits in this house. The position "more convenient for the majority of total family bathroom visits" is seat down.

And one more thing - even if I didn't want the lid closed (I do), I'd still want the seat down from a purely aesthetic point of view. Have you ever looked under the seat of a toilet when it needs cleaning? Gross.

Unless the standing pee-er is willing to wipe the toilet down with every use, he can put the damn seat down.

[JVS]

37. "under the seat of a toilet when it needs cleaning? Gross."

It's gross because you leave it down! If you were to leave it up there wouldn't be a much splashed up piss and shit.

[Left Is Write]

40. Yes, there would.

It's still going to splash where it does now - around the top of the bowl. If the seat doesn't go down, it may not come in contact with the disgusting splash factor, but then we'd have to SEE it all the time, unless, as I said, the splasher wipes it down every time he uses it.

That is still not the primary reason I want the seat down, but it's certainly a contributing factor.

45. Hear, hear

When will people (both men and women) realise that a closed lid on the loo makes the whole room a far better place.

I can cope with raising both the lid and the seat before using the lavatory, and closing both afterwards. It's not difficult.

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. Teach yourself to sit when you pee.

Problem solved. ;)

[BeFree]

4. Women..

Say they don't like going into a dark bathroom then falling into the toilet, when the seat is left up.

Why don't they find that as funny as I do? They always get mad as hell when I laugh about that imagined scene.

Just picture it, feet up in the air, butt splashing in the bowl and squirming only gets ya tighter. LOL

[LostInAnomie]

6. Then maybe they can learn to turn on a light switch as well.

Who the hell would go to the bathroom in the dark?

[shesemsmom]

13. aaaaaaaaaaaa

I do. Our master bath is one entire end of the bedroom. So I don't want to wake him but the first time I ever go to sit and my butt hits the water in the dark I assure you it will be lights on from here out.

[LostInAnomie]

20. You're a gambler lady!

Some day your luck will run out and then it will be the big "SPLASH" for you.

[shesemsmom]

22. It has been 20 plus years since I house broke him,

If I find the toilet seat up and he's not in the process of using it no matter the time of the day....he will be toast!!!:evilgrin:

[BeFree]

39. I got toasted once

And it was a good thing, too.

You must have a saint for a husband. I hope you get down on your knees and....well, uh, thank him often.

Ya know, if we are good enough to lift the seat, yall should be glad. It'd be a real pisser if we left it down.

And for those who say we ought to sit, all I can say is: sitting is for women. It seems yall are just a bit envious of men and their ____s'.

[shesemsmom]

47. My husband is a mere mortal

that like MOST men had to be potty trained. No, I am not envious of his apparatus. Any one who has to be taught to aim with it must need guidance through life. That is why God made women.

28. In the middle of the night? I do.

It's hard enough to get back to sleep as it is. I don't need a flood of lights bringing me to full eye-popping consciousness.

[JVS]

35. You could get adjustable bathroom lighting

I helps with the ambiance too

[Left Is Write]

41. Nope.

I don't need ambiance in the bathroom. I need to be able to get back to sleep after getting up to use the bathroom (it would be better if my bladder let me sleep through the night, but that's rare).

5. Toilets have lids for a reason.

I don't just want the SEAT down, I want the whole LID down. First, I don't like looking at the gaping, yawning mouth of an open toilet, and second, I have little kids. No sense tempting them to throw stuff in the toilet.

[Quixote1818]

18. I don't follow society's rules on toilets. I am an Existentialist

:beer:

[Left Is Write]

23. Who said anything about society's rules?

You rarely see a public toilet with the lid closed, if it even HAS a lid.

I'm talking about MY rules. And She Who Cleans The Frickin' Bathrooms gets to make the rules :D

[Quixote1818]

34. If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie.

In your house your rules are my rules! :thumbsup:

[shesemsmom]

52. Absolutely!!!!!!!

RIGHT ON:yourock:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

7. I'll put it back up as soon as the men of the house learn to

hit the inside of the pot.

[Quixote1818]

15. Self Delete

[immoderate]

10. My friend is surrounded by women.

Wife, and all daughters. They pounded that whenever I was there, to the point of calling me into the bathroom for requisite humiliation whenever I would forget to put the lid down.

Then the cat started using the toilet, and the whole scene reversed. I get scolded for forgetting to leave the lid up, because the cat goes nuts.

--IMM

[Amfortas]

50. ahem ?

how does the cat do that ? joking , right ?

[immoderate]

51. The cat uses the toilet, but can't lift the lid.

I am not joking. BTW, the cat started doing it by himself, was not trained to do it.

I think if you ask in the Lounge, you'll find a number of cat people who will verify that cats can be trained for this.

--IMM

[shesemsmom]

11. Just remember the hard fast rule around here

You found it down so put it back the way you found it ...................OR ELSE!!!!!!!
He doesn't have to do anything but go the work and put the toilet seat back in the down postion, that is not to much to ask. I do the shopping the housework, work a full time job and run 3 Democratic county or city wide campaigns 3 years out of 4 I wash the cars and take care of the Kid and the doctor/ dentist appointments. I see that the yard is kept clean and neat( I pay for that) I pay the bills and balance the budget.... more than our nation and state and currently do. I can only do that because he found work after having had nearly none for 2 years. Now, I think he can put the FREAKIN' seat down for crips sakes and I had to teach him that. Not the mama god rest her wicked sole, the only thing she taught him to do is cook for a hobby!!!!I might add that he is very good at that

[donheld]

12. Houses need urinals

problem solved.

[realisticphish]

19. a-fuckin-men!

i always thought that

[JVS]

33. Put it right between the TV and the fridge so I can hit it after getting..

a beer

[China_cat]

14. I spent almost 4 years

trying to get through the heads of the males in this household that they needed to put it up BEFORE pissing. I got so sick of sitting on a wet seat that I took it off.

[shesemsmom]

17. God your good!!!

but what do you do when company comes over? What a great idea, of course that never does POTTY TRAIN them

[all.of.me]

21. i think...

men should have their own bathrooms that they should have to clean! since my ex moved out, the bathroom does not smell any more!

PS - can i borrow your avatar? where do you live?

[shesemsmom]

25. Oh I like that idea. No more nasty sinks and showers or tubs

I may be tempted to call the contractor lol

[all.of.me]

26. my ex was great at cleaning

he would send us out for the morning with $, then we'd come home to a spotless house - all except the bathroom! is that a riot?! i'd have to do it, and a lot of it was his filth! hahahahaha

[NashVegas]

24. Women Understand One Thing: Gravity

Especially once get pass 38 or so.

sorry, honey.

[aQuArius]

32. If they don't look where they're sitting....

They deserve what they get... and this coming from a WOMAN! Is it so hard for anyone (male or female) to look where they're sitting??? Wherever the seat is... up or down... LOOK WHERE YOU'RE SITTING AND ADJUST ACCORDINGLY!!!! LOL, thanks great post!

[Lars39]

36. That's what happens in my house.

If it's up, lower it. If it's down, raise. Neither side fusses. Just seemed fair. :shrug:

[aQuArius]

38. Women wanted equality...

So, watch where you put your ass! It only makes sense to me... a WOMAN! I'm with you! :hi:

[Lars39]

42. Must be the princess factor.

I'm a tomboy. :) I've used outhouses, chamberpots, squatted over trenches,
portapottied, peed in a container in a moving car...shoot, have I missed anything? Depends, maybe. Pun intended. :hi:

[HamstersFromHell]

43. Women can leave the seat up with this...

http://www.magic-cone.com/

[Historic NY]

44. Wait a minute.....it doesn't matter if its up any more unless of course

you have cats or dogs that use it as a watering hole. In the old days it was commonly put down to keep the smell from coming up the trap.. old Thomas Crapper fixed that with his new and improve water closet. If you used an old out house expecially in those hot summer months you probably would want it down so the noxious gases vented.

I say men of DU revolt...leave the damn lid up or pee all over it..
:hurts:

[ffm172]

46. for me it is more a matter of closing the lid also

not just the seat. I find somewhat nasty to come in a bathroom and the lid is up. Still have my bf to learn that :)

[liontamer]

48. lol

I remember reading some letter to dear abby or something where some woman complained that ever since her marriage five years ago she has fallen into the toilet every night because her husband won't put the seat down. :wtf: how hard is it to learn to look where you sit? No lab rat would be so stupid.

[Quixote1818]

53. Lessons learned are like Toilets splashed you only need to sit in

them and get your ass wet but once.

[Nikia]

49. I don't want my dog drinking from the toilet

Anyway, our toilet is so close to the sink where I put my tooth brush, hairbrush, and other stuff that I don't want sprayed by toilet water. The toilet has a lid for a reason.

[Quixote1818]

54. What is wrong with a little toilet watter on your tooth brush?

A little toilet water never killed anyone.


:puke:

[Logansquare]

55. You men need to lose some weight

I'm sorry, but every little bit helps, so we leave the toilet seat down.
