Seat up or down?

I'm assuming you are probably referring to my posts. I guess I mistook your post for something other than "for fun". It appeared to be more of a complaint to me. I will take my "serious" post somewhere else too.

Have a good day!
 
LOL .. DH KNOWS the toilet seat better be down .. LOL ...

when we first got married .. he left the dang thing up .. in my sleep .. I wandered into the dark bathroom .. backed my rear end up to it and litterally FELL IN .. after the cold nasty water hit my rear end .. I jumped up and proceeded into one of the biggest rants containing every cuss word known to man .. yelling like a maniac .. which of course brought me and my husband out of a sound sleep and into a "discussion" of the finer art of putting the freaking toilet seat down so I don't fall in is the least you can do ...

.... and since have never had a problem with him leaving the seat up .. LOL!!!:7
 
How about men wiping up those little splashes before even putting the seat back down. That would be nice. My DH and DS are good about putting the seat down, but never, ever wipe up the splashes on the rim. I have a co-ed bathroom at work and the guys always put the seat down except for maybe one, but never wipe up the rim.

I feel for those of you that have Co-ed bathrooms .. just the thought of it makes me squirm .. YUCK!!

Bless your hearts!!! I feel for ya!
 
Maybe we should think about toilet training little boys to pee while sitting down too :7 Then no worries about seats or spills (*shudder*). The more important question might be why do men need to pee standing up? LOL.

"How about men wiping up those little splashes before even putting the seat back down"

Same with women! Have you ever gone into a Women's Room and had those splashes on the seat! I have...g-ROSS! I guess that they are so paranoid of touching the seat themselves, that they practically stand up to pee, leaving their splatters for someone else to wipe up!!!

Oh, and one place I worked had a dispenser with those disposable paper seat covers, and people would use them and LEAVE THEM ON FOR THE NEXT PERSON TO DEAL WITH!!

LauraMax, how dare you start this thread...I'm getting really "PI$$ED" off now!!! x( x( }( }(
 
LOL! TeTe that makes me crazy too--it's one thing if you're at a rest stop on the highway, but women do that at my gym all the time, & the stupid bathrooms are cleaned several times a day.

I think the only thing worse than falling in is sitting on a wet toilet seat. EWWWWWWWWWWW!
 
Thats almost as bad as women with bad aim who hoover above the toilet seat to pee. They do not want to get germs but they made the bathroom worse for everyone else by spraying all over the seat and not cleaning it up. It reminds me of a goofy little poem from my childhood "If you sprinkle while you tinkle wipe the seat before you meet".
 
EEEEWWWWWW! I can't even hardly pee when my own husband is around and definitely will not in front of man's ears in the next stall, no matter what. How in the heck could I do that with men around. OMG! I can't even imagine it! ICKY!

As you can see I like privacy.

LM, I agree with you & feel for you that you have to share the bathroom with men at work... WOW!

How about this question for fun.. Janie I know what your response will be... I never shut the bathroom door at my house unless company is over or if more than just #1 is calling!!! My ex-boyfriend of almost 5 years of whom I lived with for 2, never could understand this...I was like hello, like you've never seen me?!?!?
 
Even if a man "centers" on the bowl there is likely some over spray. If his inseam on his pants is 32" then he's shooting from 18" or so. Remember you are over the bowl and right at the rim, you couldn't possibly miss.

In our house seats and lids are down, don't want the pets in the bowl.

Now can we argue about something important like how the TP is supposed to come off the roll? over the top or under from the bottom?
 
"My boss actually says the women should put the seat UP out of courtesy to the guys."

That's exactly what my ex-husband used to say, it always annoyed me. But now that I have a 7 yr. old boy I put it up for him because I got tired of sitting on pee. It dosen't bother me anymore, I'm used to checking before I sit.
 
I used to teach with my husband at a school where he was the only male on staff. His policy was he would always put the seat down unless someone left feminine products sitting out. If there were products left out...you can count on him leaving the seat up. Always made me giggle.
 
This is a fun topic!
First off...women are the worst! How many time I have gone in the womens room at work with pee on the seat! totally gross!!! I totally dont get how a woman can pee all over the seat and leave! I would be totally embarrassed if I did that!
second... my ex actually did pee sitting down and now I can totally appreciate it as weird as it seemed when we were first dating.
next... my current dh is like some of yours where he believes it is ok to leave up.

my current feelings is we should all put both lids down. not only does it look better for anyone coming into the bathroom but no one has to feel they are doing the other a favor!
 
I don't see why women should be accommodated. It's just me and my DH here at home, and he leaves the seat up and I leave it down. Seems fair to me. Why should he accommodate me if I don't accommodate him? Besides, how do we know who will use the toilet next anyway?

I do sympathize with having to touch the seat, though. That would bother me too if we had co-ed bathrooms at work.

ETA: Laura, I agree this is a cute, fun topic. :D
 
To add fuel to the fire, why do some people insist on not flushing the toilet at public restrooms??!!!?? If it's broken that's one thing, but a lot of times, they're not broken and people don't flush!

I've been guilty of this, I am usually a very considerate person. I think what is happening is more and more public restrooms are getting set up as auto flush and people just take it for granted that its going to flush on its own.

There was a funny commercial for hanes or fruit of the loom with a women getting up from bed in her underwear and acting as if she was a guy. After about a minute scratching, burping, leaving the seat up drinking out of the milk bottle... the announcer says "because no one wants to see a guy in his underwear"
 
It doesn't matter to me (at home!), but my dh and ds always put it down. What really gets me is public restrooms in general. THERE IS NO ETIQUETTE ANYMORE! I mean think back to when you were a kid...I don't remember experiencing this disgust then. It is a complete onslought to your senses now. I can't help thinking it has to do with our nation being more overweight now, i.e.- can't balance over the toilet as well, too many fast food meals. You get the picture (and it ain't pretty!)
