Disenchantedly Yours Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Seriously? Do women just no look before they sit down?? I am a man who lives alone. Often I don't put down the seat down after I've used it. And when I actually did need to sit down, I have never actually sat on the rim. Want to know why? Take a guess. Naturally that's because you're a better person then I am Somedude, and smarter! Bully for you! You win and us silly little women are just awful creatures who are too stupid for you.
oaks Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Dude, that's a whole 'nother thread about an entirely different slobby husband/nagging wife duo. Yeah. I'm sure someone will start a thread just like it any moment now. Also, how many pairs of shoes need to be scattered in the hallway by the front door? Why do so many coats need to be casually discarded on the stairs? Could the scatter cushions in the living room be scattered slightly less randomly in future? These, and many other health and safety issues. I agree with the hygiene argument about putting the seat down, and I've just squirted some thick bleach around the rim just to make sure I don't die in my sleep. Now I'm off for some wine and idle gossip with friends. Y'all play nicely while I'm gone!
Engadget Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 You don't put the seat up for us, why would I put it down for you? ZE END!
Stung Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 I do have an issue with the seat left up in the guest bath when Im entertaining. I just want it down. If his wife wants the seat down so much that she has had to repeat it time and time again...why doesnt he just put it down?? Does he not understand? Does he forget? Does he not know how? That would bug me. I would lock the bathroom door from the outside and not give him a key until he figured out how to close the lid. If he starts putting the lide down and she finds something else petty to make important to herself...he should remove the seat from the toiulet entirely and see how she likes that. I love it. Ladies and gentlemen: 2sure, the Queen of the Art of Compromise.
Cee Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 interesting article about the "Fecal Fountain Factor".......... wow. http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/exchange/node/1839 Wow. This article convinced me that putting the lid down is the right solution. That and keeping my toothbrush in the medicine cabinet. Unfortunately that doesn't solve anything with my office restroom.
freestyle Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Wow. This article convinced me that putting the lid down is the right solution. That and keeping my toothbrush in the medicine cabinet. Unfortunately that doesn't solve anything with my office restroom. actually, I learned about the fecal matter on toothbrushes years ago. I don't remember what show I was watching, but a random test of household toothbrushes tested very high for fecal matter. I've been brushing my teeth in kitchen ever since I saw that program....*shudder* As far as the office restroom----can you hold it all day?
xxoo Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 actually, I learned about the fecal matter on toothbrushes years ago.. Me, too. My H and I have both been adament about the LID being down ever since! And good news, ladies. We taught our kids that way, too, while potty training. So in a couple decades, there will be one more man on the market putting down the lid
FitChick Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Live in a place with two bathrooms. Then he can do whatever he likes.
Mutant Debutante Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Live in a place with two bathrooms. Then he can do whatever he likes. Easy advice for people who can afford it. I grew up with a lot of scumbags coming around, mom's new boyfriends, drug dealers, whatever. They usually put the seat down, unless they were too ****ed up to bother, then they didn't even aim. One of them told me once though that it was low class to leave the seat up. He was a drug dealer, a pornographer, but he wasn't an animal.
wheream_i Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) Just put the damn seat down so she will STFU. I grew up with a younger sister so when I was a teenager she would complain to my dad that I left the seat up again. My dad made damn sure I didn't leave the seat up again. I never did. I would think most men that are married would be trained to do this at some point in their relationship. Every man knows damn well women hate this. Just as much as men hate a nagging woman. P.S. I was at a party hosted by a lesbian couple some time ago. Naturally, there were lots of women there. I was the last male there and when I left, the host thanked me in front of everyone for always putting the toilet seat down, they apprecaited it! Made me feel pretty good that dad bitched at me about it all those years ago! Edited October 4, 2011 by wheream_i
torn_curtain Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 This drives me bat**** crazy. I HATE it when men do this after you've repeatedly (nicely) asked them not to. The main reason it irks me is because I have to touch the toilet seat to put it back down and I also have to look at their pee splattered all over the inner rim.
Eddie Edirol Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 If I have to keep putting up the seat, you have to keep putting down the seat. I have to turn the light on in the middle of the night, you can too. It hasnt failed thus far. If you dont want to turn the light on, then feel around first for the lid. Not very difficult. My seat is usually left up for me, and I put the seat down for her. They will do anything to avoid turning that light on. If the seat isnt put up, they get a surprise. Thats my compromise.
Art_Critic Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 If anybody has been around a woman that makes the "splash" in the middle of the night I can guarantee you put the seat down after you raise it.
carhill Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Horseshoe? Do you live on a plane? But if things go my way, I'll be able to afford that dream double-toilet house (and possibly a private jet as well) It's a standard commercial toilet seat with no lid. My exW and I had separate bathrooms and there's a guest bathroom as well, adjacent to the laundry. Toilet seat stuff wasn't really an issue. She had a nice padded toilet seat on hers and I still haven't touched it since she left other than to keep it clean. No need to with two other bathrooms.
Art_Critic Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 She had a nice padded toilet seat on hers and I still haven't touched it since she left other than to keep it clean. CH.. go spend the 40 bucks and get rid of the padded seat...take back the throne
Highness Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 In Sweden man are made to sit on the toilet while pissing. A friend's gf told me this because of her spraying bf Yeah, my boyfriend actually pisses while sitting down - he's a clean freak and hated that no matter how careful he was he'd get drops on the seat. Guess Im lucky in that respect. He also always puts the seat down but I prefer to leave it up - its bloody annoying having to lift up the seat when Im absolutely BUSTING! Yes people, I am that lazy.
Art_Critic Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 If my wife pulled this crap on me I would take a big steaming dump on her side of the bed. All talk .. How about a stanley steamer instead.. fair is fair..
musemaj11 Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 If guys can lift up the toilet seat before peeing, why cant women simply pull it back down before peeing themselves? Its so simple.
whichwayisup Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 My friend's spouse has been nagging at him over many things lately...and the newest one is about the toilet seat. She can't stand it if he left the cover up after he's done. Do women really mind that the toilet seat is up?...because I sure as hell don't... Just do what we do. CLOSE THE LID completely, whether it's a poo or a pee. One should always keep the lid closed when you flush to prevent pee and sh.t particles from flying around the room (yes tiny shi.t germs fly around, germs!). This way both of you have to lift the seat, him two (lid and seat) and you one (lid). Problem solved!!
Art_Critic Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 If guys can lift up the toilet seat before peeing, why cant women simply pull it back down before peeing themselves? Its so simple. When you walk thru a closed door, do you close it back or leave it open ?
carhill Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 CH.. go spend the 40 bucks and get rid of the padded seat...take back the throne Right you are. I'm saving up for one of these to match the one in the other bathroom. A man's got to take care of his behind
Art_Critic Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Right you are. I'm saving up for one of these to match the one in the other bathroom. A man's got to take care of his behind Now that is a ride....
D-Lish Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 My friend's spouse has been nagging at him over many things lately...and the newest one is about the toilet seat. She can't stand it if he left the cover up after he's done. Do women really mind that the toilet seat is up?...because I sure as hell don't... I don't care about that sort of stuff- but I can tell you a story of that might give you an idea as to why it's good to put the seat down... A woman I worked with got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, she was half asleep and went to sit down and realized as she was mid-sit that the seat was up and was going to fall in the toilet, so she pushed herself sideways by putting her hand on the wall and landed (hard) on the side of the toilet rim. She basically gave herself a "self-inflicted" episiotomy. She required many stitches and couldn't walk for a week. Split herself open big time. It's mainly because of that story that I always check that the seat is down!
musemaj11 Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 When you walk thru a closed door, do you close it back or leave it open ? Unless the situation requires it to be closed back, I just leave it open. Besides, as much as women find it annoying to always have pull down the rim, I also find it annoying to always have to pull it up. I fail to see how one side should feel more discomforted.
carhill Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Now that is a ride.... The Toto S400 actually solves the OP's issue as it automatically lifts the lid when approaching and sets the lid/seat down gently upon leaving. It also auto-flushes besides providing bidet action and warm air dry. You'll need a larger Sunday paper . I first became acquainted with these a number of years ago when in Japan and brought the idea home with me. Now they're fairly commonplace.
