jerbear 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. Yeah, I put the seat and seat cover down now; even in my own house! :lmao: I was young when I go the post-"splash" talk AND no loving afterwards.
D-Lish Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Oww?............ Yes, Big ow:lmao: She was off work for a week and when she came back she basically waddled for another month. The worst was when she had to poo after that, she said it felt like she was ripping her stitches:lmao:
El Brujo 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... Your friend needs to get one of these: Problem solved.
make me believe Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Eww I can't stand it when I walk into a bathroom and see even the lid of the toilet up, let alone the actual seat. Gross! It just looks so sloppy and unclean. Plus, like torncurtain said, I don't want to have to touch a pee splattered seat to put it back down. Luckily my husband always puts the seat down so we don't have this issue. But I would assume that even if he was in the habit of leaving it up he'd make the effort to remember to put it down if I asked him nicely. I don't understand why your friend won't do the same for his wife.
jerbear Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 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. Those are so cool! They have remote controlled ones. Buy an extra remote and adjust the "seat" for them. :lmao: Yeah, I'll probably get pay back.
Eddie Edirol 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. I have been around the splash, but I was asleep so I didnt hear it. If I did hear it, she knows I'd laugh my ass off, and then never let her hear the end of it. Id call her splash for a week. She'll feel for the toilet seat then....If she has a problem with that, she can leave.
Art_Critic Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 If you put the top lid down how will the dog get to his water bowl ? Be kind to animals...leave the lid up

Stung Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 I'll reiterate part of my original post: I wouldn't turn it into a ground zero battle in a marriage, or anything. But it's pretty hard to see why a guy just wouldn't be willing to be considerate about something like that when it takes like a tenth of a second and almost zero effort, plus it's more hygienic and will keep his wife happy. Most happy, successful marriages/cohabitations I am aware of are full of little concessions and compromises like this being made on both sides, day in and day out, it's just part of living with other human beings that you care about. I see, in abstract, potential for a litmus test here. If he already knows that: A) Leaving the seat and lid up is bad hygiene, particularly if anyone brushes teeth in there; B) It poses a potential hazard for other people who live in the house who might need to pee in the middle of the night, when it's dark and/or they're groggy and balance-challenged; C) Anybody else who needs to use that bathroom will have to look at and touch his urine-riddled seat/rim even though they don't want to; in addition to the obvious D) Leaving the seat up is making the person he lives with unhappy to the point that they ask him repeatedly not to do what he is doing. and he just doesn't care and exhibits some sense of moral outrage at being asked to alter his behavior to even that infinitesimal degree, well, he's seemingly not very good at compromise and thus also might just not be a good candidate for a serious LTR. Compromise is something both partners need to be able and willing to do.
whichwayisup Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Just thought of this..Can't he sit down and pee? Does a guy always have to stand and aim?
Art_Critic Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Just thought of this..Can't he sit down and pee? Does a guy always have to stand and aim? Unless he has an erection, then he has to stand and gets to use the very definition of leverage.. That is where he pushes down on his erection to aim and his heels come up off the floor..
Art_Critic Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 D) Leaving the seat up is making the person he lives with unhappy to the point that they ask him repeatedly not to do what he is doing. Isn't this really what it boils down to ?
OliveOyl Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 If you put the top lid down how will the dog get to his water bowl ? Be kind to animals...leave the lid up This was what has trained me to keep the lid down. Nothing like realizing you're sitting where the cat has been perched to quench his thirst...
D-Lish Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Just thought of this..Can't he sit down and pee? Does a guy always have to stand and aim? I have tried to stand and aim, the housekeeper swears at me in spanish when she comes to clean my place.
veggirl Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Ugh. When a man aims and pees, his piss splatters onto the inside of the lid. I do not want to touch this. He needs to put the seat down. Period, end of story.
Stung Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Isn't this really what it boils down to ? That alone should be enough, IMO, yeah. Esp. since it's not exactly something he has to break a sweat for. People can dig their heels in for the stupidest things.
denise_xo Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 interesting article about the "Fecal Fountain Factor".......... wow. http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/exchange/node/1839 I think this definitely settled the matter.
Author leftfordead2 Posted October 5, 2011 Author Posted October 5, 2011 Well, my friend's reasoning is, if he has to put the seat up everytime he pees, why can't his spouse just put it down? Why does he have to lift it up and put it down and the wife can't just put down the seat when she wants to pee?
denise_xo Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Well, my friend's reasoning is, if he has to put the seat up everytime he pees, why can't his spouse just put it down? Why does he have to lift it up and put it down and the wife can't just put down the seat when she wants to pee? Show him the link to that article and then both of them will put all of it down.
AHardDaysNight Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Only on Loveshack would a thread about putting the toilet seat down end up making 6 pages!
denise_xo Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Better toilet seats than other more overt types of gender wars
AHardDaysNight Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Yeah, at least I don't have to take this seriously.
xxoo Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Well, my friend's reasoning is, if he has to put the seat up everytime he pees, why can't his spouse just put it down? Why does he have to lift it up and put it down and the wife can't just put down the seat when she wants to pee? Did you read the thread responses?? Fecal fountain!!! Still...why keep the seat down as default? How about simple aesthetics. Cover up the pee splashes, and show the surfaces of the toilet that the designers intended for show.
El Brujo Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 If the man is really mad, he might leave the plunger in the toilet.
xxoo Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 If the man is really mad, he might leave the plunger in the toilet. Why is the man so mad? Do you guys never ask a woman to adjust to your strong preference, backed with reasons important to you? My H has strong preferences about laundry procedures I really couldn't care less, so I do it his way. I guess I could be a total b*tch and do it my own way, and destroy his clothes if he keeps nagging about it.....but why would I do that? I love him!
