what's "the man thing?" you mean pick the furthest urinal possible and then stand super close to it so none of the perverts can see your weewee? lol.


Have fun! Somehow I managed to intuitively choose the right one everytime.

Edit: Okay, I got the last one wrong.

Exactly!

When you are sitting down on something with your pants around your knees and your butt exposed, don't you think it's a good idea to look down first??!!

Just for kicks, try leaving the plunger in the toilet and see what happens!

June, in case "yours" turns out to be one of "these" tough cases, you then go sleep in the guest room (do insist on a guest room when you get your new accomodations). In the morning, serve up a cold cup of coffee with a heavy dose of the cold, silent treatment. :)

still none of these are working... no breakfast, no coffee, more stubborn than a mule... (seriously) Guest bed? Sure to get away from your complaining butt :-P It's got a King sized anyway!


I'm sorry, apparently you need the translation from the female dialect, I'll spell it out for you: n.o. s.e.x.
=o

n.o. b.i.g.g.i.e.

I'm with you. Proper toilet seat default position is up and out of the way. I have never accidentally fallen in a toilet because I failed to realize that the seat was up (or for any other reason), nor have I ever failed to realize the seat was down. I walk into the bathroom, and a quick glance at the toilet is all I need to determine whether the seat is up or down. Not very hard, especially when you're sober... As for the lid, I never really understood it's purpose anyway.

Not an american thing, it's a middle-o-the-night-dont-wanna-turn-the-light-on-cos-then-id-wake-up-fully thing!

Agreed! In fact, I find it's a good idea even when fully clothed!

Ever walked into a toilet, looked in the pan and realised it hasn't been flushed and the previous occupant had a curry last night!!! That's why lids! And of course to stop germs flying everywhere! And because it looks more attractive as a white bowl does nothing for the decor!

As for seat up/down, the bottom of a toilet seat always looks gross don't you think? If men could pee straight there would be no need to put it up anyway. Isn't the hole in the seat big enough to aim at?

nope but even if I was, it would be worth the satisfaction of winning. As that is what is most important. But like I said, stubborn as a mule.

Mule: The sterile hybrid offspring of a male donkey and a female horse, characterized by long ears and a short mane.

And now it all becomes clear...

So horses fall in the toilet if the seat's up?

You obviously haven't been watching the home makeover programmes - white is the new avocado!!!

After living with three sons the past decade, and after living with their father for 15 years, and after having two male cats and three male dogs for at least that long, I've come to the realization that I'm greatly outnumbered and should just learn to deal with the seat being up. Besides, I'm kind of a germ freak so with it up, it makes it easier to wipe down with the Clorox Clean-Ups Wipes I keep by the commode every time I enter the bathroom.

Did you know when we flush with the toliet seat not covering the bown, fecal particulate matter goes up to 27 feet in the air? Think about that the next time you flush. Oh yeah....is your toothbrush covered? You wouldn't want to be brushing your teeth with feces now would you?
p.s. mine is in a case inside the cabinet. hahaha

Apparently, it is ok to brush with urine, however...very sterile, I hear.

No idea how people like you can muster the will to go outside at all... you must obviously never think about what sort of matter you're inhaling in a city street, or within a mile of any farm, or what exactly you're drinking when you buy a cup of coffee...

Yup! When you've stumbled into the bathroom at night in the dark and almost fallen down the hole then you'll prolly want the seat put down too!


Well, you shouldn't be stumbling around drunk in the dark, then!

Seriously, because it is expected that the seat will be down. And when a girl sits down with the seat up, she gets a VERY unpleasant surprise - unexpected cold and a sensation of falling in. Funny, I just had to explain this to my husband again last night.


Ummmmm, if there are guys around, it is probably better to assume the seat is up.

No, honestly. Most people I know are pretty good at remembering to flush. Even so, I'd much rather be able to spot such a disaster from a distance than have a nasty surprise as I lift the lid.
As for germs... For one thing, if you think a toilet lid is going to anything to "stop germs from flying everywhere", think again. For another thing, it ain't gonna kill you anyway--when was the last time you heard of someone catching a horrible disease and dying because they flushed with the lid up?! You know what they say, "If it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger"...
Personally I like the look of toilets. They have all sorts of interesting curvature, and come in a wide variety of shapes and colours (though I prefer white). As a matter of fact I think we should have a toilet challenge!

To be fair, in my house, everyone must close both lids when done.

Wonder what it would take to get the brown in that ;)

Men can avoid the problem entirely: pee in the sink, unless, of course, it is full of dirty dishes!
