putting the toilet seat down...what gives?

[thegreekone 0]

gf called me into bathroom (very Sleeping With The Enemy of her) and reminded me about putting the seat down. I looked and said "it IS down, see?". I then realized we have differing opinions of what putting the seat down means. She thinks it includes the seat AND lid while I think it just means the seat.....hence, the expression, "put the seat down".

Ok, whose right and gives, anyway?

Don't get me wrong, it's no big whup, but I have to laugh because I was so damn proud of myself that I remembered to put the seat down, ya know? (it's a GUY thing, sorry)

Ok, so I am bored while she is out, so sue me.

I rarely bother with my own lid. Seat means seat, not seat and lid. If it prevents me from a cold, wet, ass, it's all good.

No biggie at all.....I guess it seemed funnier at the time.

We have to leave the seat and lid down all the time.

The pets are under the assumption that it's a communal water dish.

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

I think you're doing good just to put the seat down. I gave up on getting my ex or kids to put the lid down. I guess I've gotten used to it. You gotta choose your battles.

That said, I have heard studies that say that the water particles go up into the air every time you flush, so if you have your toothbrush nearby on the counter...well, you might want to remember to put the lid down.

Start leaving it up again. When she complains tell her that she didn't apprieciate it when you lowered it.

Also tell her that she must be nuts not to look before she sits. She has to sit no matter what and to rely on someone else to make sure the seat is down for her isn't smart.

Yeah, I've got no pets, so the only creatures using it as a water dish might be drunk skydivers.

After all, if it's on the internet, it's gotta be true.

This is sooo funny! I remember the first night we returned home from our honeymoon (11 years ago). It was still dark and I got up to pee. Didn't turn the light on because I didn't want to disturb him. So I sit down and fall straight in the potty! I was laughing so hard that of course he woke up.

I looked at is as my initiation into marriage! Could be one of those....You KNOW you're married when......

Actually, he's pretty good at putting the lid down, but I've never made an issue about it. There are bigger fish to fry.

I try to leave it up or put it down at ourely random intervals-keeps her on her toes

I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried

I think you should bring her in the bathroom, remind her to lift the seat after she's done, and demonstrate how it's done. Or demonstrate the complex procedure for checking which configuration the seat is in before sitting, cause it really is complex for some people.

Holy crap!!! I thought the "Toilet Seat Wars" were over with 20 years ago.

Leave the Plunger in the toilet a few times... She will learn to look before she sits real quick.

Open when in use, closed when not in use. Seat & lid both. I trained my wife years ago to close the lid. (Used up my one free "Okay, I'll do it your way" privilege...)

The kids also live by this method; they've never known any other way.

Of course, while camping at the DZ I showed my son that it's cool to pee outdoors, as long as you make some effort to avoid public display and keep it away from common walking areas. He thought it was a boatload of fun.
