    Toilet Seat
    Hello:

    Why do women have to be so disrespectiful of men? They always leave the toilet seat down. I don't know what I'm going to do about this.

    Live alone, and even then it will end up down sometimes.

    Well I am not down after the chuckle this gave me. LOL excon.

    Want to know a secret... hmmmm. We really don't care whether it is up or down... it's just that you all are so perfect we need to pick on something... :rolleyes:

    To be truthful, hubby, leaves it up... and once I forgot... not very comfortable and gives a bit of a cold shock :eek: , and for that split moment... I really didn't like hubby at all, not even a little.

    My boyfriend and I came to an agreement when we moved in together, we both put the lid down when we are done, so we both have to lift and put down something when we go!

    I recommend a bit of remodeling in the bathroom: Take out the sink, and replace it with a urinal. You will never argue about the toilet seat again.

    Edit: Better phrasing.

    I can only guarantee to flush, and that should be good enough, I don't have time to worry about who falls in.:eek:

    My thoughts are, if I am polite enough to bend over and put it up so I do not widdle on the seat -- she should have enough common sense to check as she goes down.
    AllHeart -- I bet it will be a long time before you forget again

    LOL Savage... no comment... laughing so hard... oh my.. okay, I confess, it happened on two separate occasions... too funny!! Ya think I would have at least peaked the second time.. but there was lots of time in between so I forgot... but yes, two times was more than enough... LOL

    We are in the process of remodeling our bathroom and my husband wants to put one in. I am all for it! How hard can it really be to clean?

    You wash your hands in the urinal, or am I missing something?
    How do you brush your teeth :confused: :confused:
    Please don't describe the image I already have in my mind.

    Sad, but true. You could get a porta potty for the woman, or a commode and tell her to stay out of the bathroom. That should take care of any problems - because she would leave and never come back. Lol..

    All wit aside, I do remember when this was an issue in my marriage. We ended up putting in a half bath downstairs for me.

    Oh yeah, good one.

    Alternatively, and a bit cheapier and easier, you could just remove the toilet seat from the toilet.

    ;) Shhhhhhhh S2tp, it's not really true... they are not perfect, I just said that so they would concede that leaving the darn seat up is WRONG!! I thought it is well worth the trade off... please don't tell them... k? ;)

    Just look at all the trouble and fighting indoor plumbing has caused.

    Ohh the good ole days when it was just the shed behind the house and there was no lids at all.

    If I'm visiting a guys house and the toilet seat was up when I went into the bathroom, I'll put it back up when I leave the bathroom. I don't think just the toilet seat should remain down but the toilet lid as well. In my house you have to put down not just the seat but the lid too. That way everybody lifts.

    It's to get even with us for always leaving the toilet seat up.

    Flip up the seat before you pi, put back the seat after you finish pi,it that easy, I see some sign at gym it say put it back down after you finish. It is picky but I just do it.

    We have two bathrooms and she can leave the seat anyway she wants, and I can leave mine any way I want. So it doesn't matter who's drunk, as long as you go to the right bathroom. There's the answer to all the problems, two bathrooms!!

    I'm thinking a camera with face recognition software and a motor controlled seat. I would make millions.

    Edit: I meant me and excon would make millions.

    Hello again, Ruby:

    Nahhh. I'll just put up with the seat. Can't get rid of my women. I love my women. They just don't understand toilet seat etiquette. But, I don't love 'em cause they know lot's about etiquette...

    Well, since you insist on breaking my heart, and you refuse to give up all those other women, in lieu of the expense of putting in another toilet or a urinal as others suggest, get a placard created that reads:

    "Put toilet seat back up where you found it - signed, Management"

    Hang it right above the toilet tank or the sink, wherever you think these "ladies" will look first.

    All I can say is that my husband and I just eventually agreed to disagree on a few of our differences - and I now try to keep the frustration release down to a little muttered cursing when "things go wrong" in the bathroom. Somehow, sitting on the toilet muttering little blasphemies at one's mate in the middle of the night gets to feeling silly in real short order.

    Of course, I can't say the toilet seat thing is one-sided. Hubby and I share these experiences:
    We've both had cold, wet bottoms from expecting the ring to be down when it was left up.
    We've both sat on the toilet cover during one of those rare moments when it was left totally shut down. (Particularly alarming when we had a furry toilet seat cover and several housecats.)
    And we've both sat on a wet spot on the ring when someone missed the center (me) - or forgot to put the seat up before starting (him).

    Men are supposed to respect women as women are supposed to resepect men. To be a gentalman it is respectable to put the toilet seat down; woman leave it down to look better if quests come round. Don't get so strests about nothing!

    This is very interesting...

    I am from Europe and there it is very normal for a man to put the toilet seat down after he used it :) :) :) :)

    Thanks for sharing :)

    Yeah, I've always suspected it had to do with something like this! But whatever happened to "look before you leap?"
