"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
Yeah, the toilet seat thing. I have never understood it. Perhaps being a male I have an intuitive grasp of the mechanical function of the seat and instinctively know how to operate it. You never hear a man complain that darn it, she left the seat down again!
Nope, it's the strong independent women who are thrown into paralysis by the seat. I had a woman angrily tell me that obviously I never sat down and plopped into the bowl because the seat was down and I said, no, because I look where I sit. However, if I ever did fall into the bowl you can bet it would be one and only one time and I would never plop my butt down without checking after that.
Anyway, as one who has always had dogs, both the seats and the lids are kept down on every toilet in the house. That does mean that i have to lift the lid, or even the entire seat before use, but I can manage that.
I agree, Stephen. And, growing up, I never thought about sitting to pee because mom did the cleaning. When I got to college, sharing a dorm bathroom with three guys whose moms also cleaned the bathroom, I quickly realized the advantages of sitting to pee when I was one of the ones who had to clean. I told them if you want to stand, you clean.
