Why must the seat stay down?

[Speedfreak]

Ok, ladies. Why must the seat stay down. Why don't I get to leave it up. Why is it determined that you get the right-away?

[sbp]

It doesn't have to stay down. People just need something to complain about.

[Nija]

I think it's to start breaking us down. It's all part of their master plan. When they get us to put the seat down, then they can start working on their grand scheme of 'HesMineBitch' First the toliet seat, then they work on the kitchen, then yur friends, then BAM! yur a vagina whipped heathen who only responded to little cutesy names, has no friends and posts on weird exotic review boards.... oh wait...

[theorangeone]

:) good question

imho, if a guy is using *MY* bathroom, then he should leave the toilet as he found it- seat down. its just plain rude otherwise. its just gross coming into the bathroom and the toilet seat is up. the worst is going to the bathroom at night and being half asleep and going to sit down and finding theres no seat under you. it is NOT a pleasant experience.
if, however, you are in your own bathroom, feel free to leave the seat up because its your bathroom!

if you leave the seat up in my bathroom tho :nono: :poke: :bonk:

[southernbelle]

most of you piddle on the rim (YOU KNOW YOU DO - GET OVER IT), which means we have to sit in it - ewwww, or "hover" which is as uncomfortable as it sounds, or clean the d*mn thing, which is not what we necessarily want to be doing right then.....

Ah, yes, a childhood memory, of going "kersplash" in the middle of the night when daddy dearest would forget and leave the seat up. Talk about getting your attention.........

Attention!!! Heck! talk about a rude awakening!!!

[sbp]

If would make more sense if the toilet cover was down. That way stuff doesn't fall into the commode.

People don't check to see the condition of the toilet before using it? :heh: :o :disa::eek:

[Jihforce]

Apparently not. :heh:

[southernbelle]

I was a young sprout when that happened - lol.

Oh, yeah, and leaving the cover down? Yep, did that too. What a mess.

[jujubees]

After I read that projectile-toilet-water thread, I've always put the toilet cover down. This way, guys can stop whining about putting the seat down, because look - I gotta do it too! :P

Maybe the women should stop what they started. ;)

[Megan]

It's because of the risk of falling in when you go to go in the middle of the night!

my $0.02

[Jihforce]

:laugh: That's just tooooo funny!
If you do fall in, make sure you don't flush yourself down the toilet :P

[Nija]

yeah, i see no reason to put the seat down afterwards. I walk in, check to see if i changes the seats position or not. Pick it up if i need it up, it goes down if it needs to go down. BAM simple process. 2 seconds....

[Jihforce]

For me, I kind of have to leave it down because the girls in the house outnumber me 3 to 1 :P

[Twilight]

Lid should always go down... BEFORE you flush! Otherwise you're spraying what's in the toilet all over the room when you flush. If you don't put the lid down, I hope you don't have any kleenex out, or a toothbrush laying around - what about the towels you dry your hands with after you wash them.. you should just skip washing your hands if you're gonna flush with the lid up and then dry your hands on a towel that's had toilet contents sprayed on it. Also, if you have kids or pets in the house you just gotta close the lid, and maybe even get a lid lock for the kids - kids have drowned it toilets.

[revil]

What kind of toilet are you using that spews out water like that?! I think it's time for you to buy a new toilet.

All toilets spray microfine water droplets when they flush.

[ArkiStan]

Well, if we're gonna get picky about "microfine droplets," then think about this. *Scent* itself is your nose detecting microfine particles floating around the air. If you smell sh*t, then you have microfine sh*t particles all up your nose.

And microfine droplets are nothing when you compare them to "the splash."

[Speedfreak]

I'm going to start saying that the lid always has to be down when not in use. That way, wether man or woman, you have take action before and after you do your thing.

Not good enough. We have enough engineers around here. We must design a toilet seat that automatically determines the end users sex and will lift the seat to the appropriate level.

U could make SOOOOO much money with that... (and since i'm helping promote it, i should get some of the patent monies :P)

But that would be tre cool, no doubt....

Truthful question:

Why can't women just check the seat is down before they sit? We have had to put it back down for years, I think it is time for a change!




Or maybe not....

[welfareloser]

i don't care what part of the toilet is where when i get there, so long as nobody's piddled on any inappropriate parts... i put it where i need it when i need it. if you don't check it's your fault (and yes, i have had several near misses and one minor butt-dunk in my lifetime... but i'm a big girl, i can take responsibility for em...)

[theorangeone]

Does that mean that if you go to a guy's house and the seat was UP when you got there, do you raise it back up before you leave?

(just askin... not that I really care whether it is up or down.)

yup, i do. with one exception- i know someone else is waiting for the bathroom and they're a female. :)

[SpeedEng]

What my GF says is that the toilet seat is down so she wont fall in!!.:heh: I dont know about you but i take a look befor i sit.

[OC]

I've always wondered why it's up to guys to make sure chicks don't fall in.

-OC

[ArkiStan]

well, to all you women, you can't complain that you could fall in cause I'm a guy and I do too sometimes. I live alone and sometimes when I go to take a dump at night I'm too tired to check whether the seat is up or down and I end up sitting on the porcelain. I don't understand how you could ever fall in though. The moment my flesh touches the freezing cold rim, my body naturally jolts up and I find myself hanging from the shower curtains... It's not like women are the only ones who actually SIT at the toilet. We're all in danger of the "rude awakening." Just look twice.

[BigJon]

I wonder if women actually DO fall in as much as they complain about, are they just exaggerating because they like to get on our case? QUESTION TO ALL: How many times has any of you fallen into a toilet?

[Nija]

never i look

Keep in mind that some women's booties are smaller than ours and are fully capable of flushing themselves down the toilet :P

[jujubees]

And don't forget, we don't have that extra layer of fur to cushion us. :P We just get cold porcelain. *brrrr*

[shmosely]

When you see the seat is down just urinate all over it and don't clean it up. When your woman finds the other "surprise" when she sits down, just tell her since she wants it down you'll leave it down :). After that she'll probably keep quiet about it.

Disclaimer: I've never tried this, but I've never needed to post to a forum about this issue, so maybe for those that do it is a solution.

[BigJon]

Good idea! :eyebrow: :laugh:

Man, you gotta WAKE UP before you go and unload your stickpile. It's like driving drunk, you just don't do it. *SMACK* What's wrong with you?


:P

[Apex]

Along the same line (though at a bit of a tangent), anyone ever go over to an all girls house and the toilet seat is semi-permanently rusted in the down position? :dodgy:

[SilverKJ]

i don't really see why the big fuss...
it takes like an extra second to put the seat up or down....

and we all wash our hands before leaving the bathroom anyway right?....
so touching the seat shouldnt matter....

[Cheesypuff]

This is just way to funny...I love being a guy

depends on what it looks like... i never touch public toliet tho... period.. i'll hold my...number 2 if i have to...

in public... i wash myhands, leave the water running while i dry my hands, then turn off the water with the paper towel, and open the door the paper towel, then i hold the door open with my foot while i dispose of the towel... there are those that' don't wash...

[The Navigator]

Let me define that for you landlubbers...head = lavatory = bathroom = latrine = little ____'s room, etc. What the hell is the deal concerning the lid/seat. All my life I have listened to females complain about males leaving the seat up. I am sure that all of you are familiar with this particular line of nagging according to this thread. I am one of those that has always put both the seat and lid down when finished. I am a yacht captain by license, and have spent many years out at sea. Out there, everybody must lower both or the ships movement will do so with a loud obnoxious bang. Recently, my wife complained about me 'closing the toilet'! What the 'f' is up with that?!? I call it f'n laziness. The main complaint seems to be that women feel it is important that we are concerned with what happens when they do not look before slapping their asses down to do their duty. It's not my responsibility to make sure they are comfortable as they evacuate their systems. I don't get to just run into the head, whip it out, and just start whizzing away in the dark, thinking that my wife conveniently left the seat up for me. No, I have to turn on the light and be concious of my actions. Sure, I have to exercise certain cautions to prevent messes, just the same as females should excercise caution to prevent falling in, messing their bums on the cold wet porcelin, or peeing on the lid. I can't help feeling this way, seeing that women have been struggling for 'equality' for years, yet they cannot go to the bathroom without some kind of preexisting condition that aids them in having a pleasant experience while they do what all of us naturally have to do.


Possible Solutions suggested by a friend:

1) To prevent a wet seat : Get a picture of your wife with the annoying face she seems to give when those words, 'what have I told you about the toilet...?' come out of her mouth, stick it just above the water level in the bowl and one problems solved...

2) Seat up or down?: Go to the local scrap yard and find a car windscreen wiper motor which still works, set it to the slowest mode and attach it to the side of the lav and the seat... then it will be up and down all the time. Best of both world but make sure the motors turned off in the appropriat postion or a sore back will occur.

3)Darkness...: I think a glow in the dark seat would be a logical solution for this. In the dark, the women can sit on the glowing ring, or put it down if the rings vertical, and the men can pee when its up or lift it when its down... no need for lights.

4) Women falling down the lav: Well... what can i say... spread your legs! It's not hard for most girls I went to school with. Seriously (how can I be serious?) you should be perched in such a way that you wont hit the edge of the seat and have urine rebounding back up your ass. Or buy a smaller seat...

[curly]

it's happened to me a few times.. . I remember those dread days when i use to fall in as a kid, feeling that COLD water hitting my bum. And sit there wondering why the seat was up. Now i check before i sit.


All in all, both parties should be held responsible.

omg.. this thread is hilarious.. :laugh:
I laughed so hard i nearly wet my self... :gle:
