funks 1 #1 April 8, 2005 So us guys are expected to put the seat up AND then put it down when we are finished? This doesnt exactly seem fair because you chicks know how forgetful us guys are I think the Guy should put it up, but the chick is responsible for putting it down. If she forgets and falls in she gets laughed at. Thats fair isnt it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goose491 0 #3 April 8, 2005 I've never, EVER understood this quirk. "Have you ever fell into the toilet thinking the seat was down and ended up with your ass in the cold water??" That's the response you'll get from many a woman when you ask: "What's the big deal with the toilet seat anyway?" What the shit ladies?!!? What I want to know is, who in their right mind plunks their bare ass down somewhere without first visually inspecting? Bwahahaaa! Viva Seats Up! My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

BillyVance 35 #5 April 8, 2005 That happened to my mother-in-law once after I used the bathroom! Luckily for me, my wife had the shits and giggles at the whole thing!

Because they want it both ways - they don't want to have to clean up if we miss, and they don't want to worry about having to check it.... so they gripe at us about putting it down after we finish...Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

Rebecca 0 #7 April 8, 2005 We both have to leave the seat and lid down to keep the dog out of the bowl, so it works both ways. Lucky us! you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigra 0 #8 April 8, 2005 I keep the lid to my toilet closed at home because I don't want my cats drinking the toilet water, and because it just looks better that way. But putting the toilet seat down is just common courtesy and you guys need to stop whining about it already! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingbunky 3 #9 April 8, 2005 three solutions. 1. separate bathrooms. she gets a toilet, complete with puffy stupid seat cover thing, he gets a toilet (with a tv mounted directly across from it) and a urinal. 2. add a urinal to the shared bathroom and then she can bolt the frickin' toilet seat down if she wants to. 3. both of you get implanted with an RFID chip, a reader is positioned near the toilet and an automated mechanism would adjust the seat according to the anotomy of the person approaching. 4. (i know, i said three, sue me) she can learn to pee standing up. it's fun! i remember someone posting a link on here way back when to a site where the process was explained."Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart."

goose491 0 #10 April 8, 2005 You're a thinking man, that's for sure. When I lived in a farm house in Orillia, I had worked out a solution of my own. I didn't pee indoors even once at my place in nearly 3 years. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conundrum 1 #13 April 8, 2005 Eh, I think women who bitch about that are just plain retarded. Guys have to lift it, women have to put it down, it's not a big deal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingbunky 3 #14 April 8, 2005 yeah, but peeing outside is frowned on in the burbs. more so around the office. true story. back in my 'commodity relocation engineer' (truck driver) days, i had a friend with a young son. he took him on a trip on the truck for a week. the young feller was just at toilet training age, so his dad had taught him to pee between the rear axles. so they get home, he and his wife are watching tv, and every once in a while the little guy would run out doors. they checked on him. he was going outside to pee between the rear axles of the truck, because he hadn't been shown how to use a toilet yet."Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart."

lawrocket 3 #15 April 8, 2005 I don't want fair. I want my wife. The toilet seat issue is fairly trivial to me, and fairly important to her. Balancing the interests, I'll put the seat down. Now that I've got a toddler who can fall in to the damned toilet headfirst and drown, all the more reason to put the seat down. Interesting that I'm now pestering my wife to put the toilet lid down. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumpchikk 0 #18 April 8, 2005 Growing up with two older brothers, I was trained to always check to make sure the seat was down before sitting down, even in the middle of the night when I'm half asleep and living alone, I still do it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #19 April 8, 2005 Quote I've never, EVER understood this quirk. "Have you ever fell into the toilet thinking the seat was down and ended up with your ass in the cold water??" v That's because apparently women do a flying ass-leap onto the toliet without checking the seat. I tend to check before sitting down to take a crap, without the flying ass-leap and I've never fallen in before.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

I'm serious. I don't have a house yet, but once I buy/build, I will install one, probably in the basement bathroom. If she gets a bidet, I get a urinal. Fair trade?

hisgoofyness 0 #23 April 8, 2005 I don't see it as a big deal with the seat... What is bad is we have a guy at our dz that manages to "soil" the top-backside of the rim... That is some nasty shiat!!! How does one even get that angle... Anyway, my bathroom pet peeve: If you run out of paper on the roll, change it out. Do not put the new roll on top of the empty roll! It is not that difficult; and for heaven's sake the paper should come across the top, not go around the backside! Goudha is for Buddha, and that's good enough for me!

monkycndo 0 #24 April 8, 2005 QuoteTrust me...all it takes is one time for your GF to get out of bed in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. Let's just say that she was fully awake a few moments later, and so was I. I had a girlfriend who did the same thing. She fell in and got her heinie wet. It was a cold night and she stood around a while to get her bum real cold, then crawled back into bed. She rubbed that cold wet butt up against me. Boy that wakes you up fast. I ALWAYS put the seat down now. Even at my apartment when no female is around. So yes ladies, we can be trained. It just takes an eye opening experience to burn it into our brains.

hungarianchick 0 #25 April 8, 2005 Finding the seat up never bothered me. Men just genetically not designed to be able to execute that task, so hissy fits are totally in vain...
