Why is it that women make a big fuss about men not putting the toilet seat down after using the toilet? Men don't make a big fuss over women not putting the seat back up. One scenario can be just as hazardous as the other.:wah:

Because Bonnie Lonnie... Men splash while peeing. The splash can reach Toothbrushes, Towels, Face-clothes etc.

The only thing a lady splashes when peeing Is her botty.

Well----------why would anyone keep their toothbrushes and towels and face clothes in the toilet anyway? :wah:

I mean't to say bowl not toilet------why would any one keep their toothbrush/towels etc. in the bowl where they would get splashed on?

Partly, Lon, there's a matter of nomenclature. There are two moving flaps to a modern convenience, a seat and a lid. The seat is, as the name implies, for sitting on in certain situations. The lid is to close the device entirely, preventing insects and small mammals from drinking there and sewer rats from entering the premises.

Closing the lid can't be accomplished without lowering the seat. Closing the lid is considered by those in polite society to be a civic duty. Ergo, the seat must itself be left lowered in order that the lid should be properly down.

The old railway carriage sign that "Gentlemen Lift the Seat" was delicately worded, either as an imperative or an observation depending on how one reads it, in an attempt to leave a dry seat for the next customer needing to actually use it. Those facing the equipment, especially on a rattling train, tended to lack sufficient control and precision. A wet seat was an unpleasant consequence unless the injunction had been followed. The other two euphemistic signs followed the male passenger through the remainder of his expected ritual, "Do not Flush at Station" did not relate to a tendency to redden in the face and "Have You Forgotten Anything" was a reminder to check your fly buttons, not whether you still had your hat with you. Current signage is far more direct.

Traveling a lot, and being forced to use public toilets a lot, I can say for a certainty that it would be better for men to at least lift the damn seat before they P.

Women have no idea, I suspect of how lucky they are if their man putting the seat down afterward is their biggest problem.

I don't recall toilet seats to be much of a problem when many of us still had outhouses.

Spot's post was amazing. :yh_worshp



Here's an article I found about men remembering to do the "little things." :wah:

Put the Toilet Seat DOWN!

Ladies..just a warning..always look back before you sit.

Actually, my wife informs me that men must put the seat down because without it down, she actually FALLS IN in the middle of the night!!!:yh_ooooo

Men complaining about women complaining about the terlet seat is a lost cause Lonny.

This article has no place at all in this thread except I thought Lon would like it...A man who survived last year's deadly bush fires in Australia is recovering in hospital after falling victim to a rare attack by a wombat. Bruce Kringle, 60, was pulled to the ground by the animal and bitten on the legs and arms after apparently stepping on it by mistake. He escaped after killing the wombat with an axe.

Animal experts said it appeared the wombat had been suffering from mange, which had made it irritable.

BBC News - Wombat bites Australian bush fire survivor

I feel considerable sympathy for the wombat myself, mange has just the same effect on me.

Again with respect to Lon, I saw this in the morning's paper. WOW. That was some wombat!

Some witness, after the event, said the wombat showed no sign of mange, in fact looked a picture of shining health, apart from the fact it was dead.

I'm familiar with wombats. When they are small they are a bit like puppies, playful, energetic, they slather green muck over your shoes and generally roll about the place in the sunshine. When puberty hits, they revert to nocturnal and get bad tempered. They also grow pretty big.

Did you know wombats have a steel plated backside, or at least that's how it must appear to dingoes who feel like wombat for their dinner. The wombat races for its burrow, the dingo gives chase, the wombat backs up to the burrow entrance and crushes the dingo's head with its bum. Goodbye dingo.

Just goes to show - we Aussies have even more deadly critters than previously expected. Though in this case, the critter ended up deader.

No need to worry about the toilet seat.

Anyway, the dastardly critter on the toilet seat in the famous Aussie song was not a wombat, or even a Spot, but in fact a redback spider.

I found this today and thought it appropriate for this thread:

Dear Abby: Smart spouses find love, not faults

Dear Abby: It saddens me when I hear women complain that men don't do their fair share around the home.



When a woman says, "He didn't put the toilet seat down," I want to ask, "Did you put it back up for him?" When a woman says, "He didn't pick up his dishes," I want to ask, "Did you clean up the oil spot your car left in the garage?" When a woman says, "He left his clothes on the floor," I want to ask, "Did you dump the unpaid bills on his desk?"



I believe marriage is a personal relationship between two loving people, not an opportunity to complain to others about perceived abuses.



During the 40 years my husband and I have been married, we both worked and managed to raise three productive members of society.



We have a tacit agreement. Each of us does absolutely everything possible to keep the home running smoothly, never tallying and setting up balance sheets.



Out of love, each of us does whatever improves our common good, and both of us find reason for daily surprises as we receive in kind from the other. -- Jo In Phoenix





Dear Jo: You and your husband are fortunate to have found each other, and you have obviously worked out a formula for a lasting and meaningful marriage. You should bottle it!

Personal computers or toilet seats?

Which really catapulted us into a modern era?

You be the judge.

Your post, the word " catapulted" in particular, inspired me (after I stopped laughing at the thought of someone flying off the toilet seat) to wonder why some clever person can't come up with an idea for an automatic toilet-seat-lifter- and- lowerer. It could be motion controlled, sort of like a motion light. Hmmm, I see problems already. Might have to have one of those airport scanners to go with it so it would know which way to go--up or down.

There are occasions - without being too explicit - when I would prefer the seat to be in one position and, conversely, other occasions when I wouldn't. It would need rather more forensic skills than a mere airport scanner to provide an accurate prediction.

Very good . . .mmm . . .point! :wah: Back to the drawing board.

An entire half of the labour of adjusting a toilet seat would be eliminated by a simple controlled automatic lowering of the lid after five minutes' unoccupancy. That can easily be engineered for less than twenty cents per seat. Why on earth has nobody bothered?

Because then women would find something else to gripe about and we are rather used to this one.

the best advice is

if you sprinkle when you tinkle be a sweetie wipe the seatie or

please dont drop fag ends down the toilet it makes them soggy and harder to light.

thats it from me im going to bog off now and loo se myself away from this toilet

There's already a patent on it, somebodys making them.

No, I did not open it up to see if girls were stipping.

*Shrugs.*.....I live with males . I have no choice.

Odes in this part of the world toilets are seperate rooms to the bathroom. It goes back to the disgust of when they first moved the toilet into the actual household . (it wasn't a very popular move originally.) Rather than the 'outhouse" scenario and the bog man coming to pick your waste up.

That makes sense, perfect feng shui sense. Also, I heard that when you flush millions of germs filter out into the room.
