The Toilet Seat Dilemma

[pocaracas]

First world problems.

Nailed it!

Although.... in places like russia and japan.... where you squat, instead of seat... it's not so much of a problem... there's no seat [period].

Lol yea, I forgot what movie I was watching, this woman went into a squatting toilet and couldn't squat, like she was physically unable to. And I remembered being so shocked by that cos I was a kid then and the only sitting toilet I know of was in our home. Everywhere else it's squatting. Of course things've changed now for our country but you still only get sitting toilets in like fancy malls and hotels.

I used to not want to use public sitting toilets, I thought that was disgusting, sitting where hundreds of strangers have sat. Even now I make sure my butt doesn't touch the seat.

Putting a seat up or down is the bare minimum a person should be capable of doing. Even a bum could do it, and that's the bottom line.

right Whateverist?!?! its one of the worst feelings imagineable innit? The. Worst.

Truly it did suck. Never done it again, but lets face it. Not everyone who gets up in the middle of the night will wake up fully enough to be fully functional. Anyone who takes Ambien or such like has even more reason to be careful to keep the environment safe. If my significant other tells me its a concern, I'm gonna give them a break. The dry tushy I save just might be my own.

I have three sons but seat down is the rule here because the wife is just more vocal on the matter.

And, anyway, who doesn't really want to be at least a little pussy whipped. Choose your battles, hey?

I've never understood the female fixation with putting the seat down or up. When we put it up it means we haven't pissed on it - which should make you girls happy. Think of it as a guarantee that when you put the seat down it will be dry.

That sounds like a challenge to me. Bet I could hose the seat in its upright position. Wait. Who am I kidding I pee like a barely leaky faucet now. You win. The seat will be remain dry if left in an upright position in my house.

Oh, the horrors of all you "women need to put the seat down" folks. Jesus, ALLRIGHT. I accept some responsibility. Luckily, my honey doesn't know I've done this.

Here's the deal: guys, try to remember to put the seat down, especially at night.

Women: try to check.

Guys: if your woman falls in at 3 AM and needs to turn on the light and shower, you need to feel bad enough about that not to be a dick about the fact that she's showering cold toilet juice off her ass in the wee hours.

I HATE being associated with sexism. **Total off-topic***- I have an unreasonable, real arachnophobia. No other bugs bother me. Show me a big scorpion or centipede and I'll calmly deal with it. When I see a spider larger than really small, I can't breathe. I don't know why. It's why I can never go to Australia, what with those giant-toothed, majorly poisonous, common scary motherfuckers there. In any case, if there's a spider, my honey has to deal with it or I might die of fear. And I've been accused of sexism (oh, sissy girl needs a boy to deal with the itsy-bitsy spider?) because of it. And I hate that. If another woman is around, SHE has to deal with the spider. It's a PHOBIA, OK? It's EMBARRASSING, OK? It's NOT A GIRL THING, OK?

I spent two weeks in Australia and I didn't see a single spider. Lucky me!

Dude, the funnel web lives there. And apparently, it's common. And it can kill your ass dead. And it has BIG BONY FANGS. I heard there was some sort of emergency number to call if you see one so the spider juicers can come get it to make antivenin for the hospital ERS. Urp.

[Whateverist]

So you're a wuss where spiders are concerned. We've all got a closet. You're probably making him feel all burly and warrior-like when he subdues a spider for you. (I'll bet you get a lot of victory sex afterwords.)

Germs esplode out of the toilet if you don't shut the seat lid when flushing. Jus sayin

The exact reason why the lid (and therefore also the seat) goes down after every single use. As far as I'm concerned it's a hygiene thing. The toilet at work grosses me out because it doesn't have lid; I turn my face away when I flush it.

I also put cleaning agents in the bowl from time to time and I don't want my cats drinking from a toilet with chemicals or cleaning agents in it that could poison them, so the lid is always down.

I'm fucking picky about how the toilet paper goes on the roller, too.

I'm notorious for changing the roll around if it's not coming off the top - unless the paper is in a locked receptacle and I can't, then I just sit there, do my business and gripe to myself about how the paper is coming off the wrong way.

Holy fuck. I am NEVER going to Australia.

It hasn't actually killed anyone's ass dead in like 30 years or so!
