View Full Version : The Great Debate
OK I shall kick off, it’s time to get to the bottom of the great questions and get some answers so here’s the first one.
Why do women complain to us guys about leaving the toilet seat up?
In my opinion women are too lazy to put them down, what do you guys think?
I think it is a double standard and a symptom of political correctness.:lol:

I pee into the sink not into the toilet. Problem solved.

Since men tend to stand up to pee, well I do anyway, we prefer to leave the seat in the up position thus giving us a bigger target to aim at. We all know how the 'stream' can behave erratically sometimes, especially in the dark, so it helps. Ladies on the other hand like to sit for most of there activities on the throne so they get upset at putting it down all the time.
Interestingly men also hate having to put the seat up but never mention it as much.

Tell her you can leave the seat down next time, but don't tell her to complain if the seat is wet later on! :p
To ensure complete gender fairness in this issue I have instituted a policy in my house of putting down both the seat and the lid as well.
But this gadget might be a suitable alternative to ensure domestic bliss:

That’s dangerous that is. Reminds me of a time when I was really drunk in a friend’s house and I....well, you know it was dark. Was about three or four seconds to realises the pitter-patter sound of pee hitting the plastic top. Spent the next 5 minuets cleaning it up...I think I got away with it. :arrgh!:
It's strange that us guys are cool on the subject if the seat is up or down but women when the seat is up stand by for a............
Frying pan over the head. :hmm:

I have 2 bathrooms so we each have one, saves alot of "miscommunication".
Always beware of some git wrapping cling film over the toilet seat when the lid is up, in that respect, it's sometimes better to sit down rather than stand :up:

Nothing a bit of superglue can't resolve. :smug:

That old chestnut still going are you can't beat the classic old ones. :rotfl:
i suppose it is unhygenic for them to have to put the seat down...which isn't unreasonable..it's also equaly unhygenic to have to put it up again...lol..given that equality (LOL). i reckon it has other more symbolic aspects..perhaps perpetuating the myth of women as fragile creatures in need of protection and of men as shaggy unhygenic monsters...problem with myths is they have a habit of becoming true..the battle of the loo seat...as old as the hills

The obsessive attention of the female gender to the problem of wet toilet seats showed its creative fight back in a recent episode of 'Dragons Den' For those not familiar with this TV series the contestants who are budding entrepreneurs have to make a pitch to a panel of experts for financial backing.
The lady in question had designed a 'protective' product consisting of a paper barrier which could be attached to the toilet seat, in public toilets, by prospective female users. Naturaly the male panel members were visited by giggles at first before establishing a major design flaw which was that the elasticated 'shower-hat' type fixative would be a major problem. Lack of suitable disposal facilities would induce most users, post excretion, to complete the process by discarding the finished 'barrier' down the pan. It was anticipated that the elastic may become entangled causing blockages of a major kind.
However the female of the species is deadlier than the male and particularly to its own kind. The coup de grace was administered by the lady judge who said (in kind) If you think prior to using the loo I'm sticking my head down into a smelly pan to fit your stuff you must be *****.
End of story - no backers - exit stage left to general mirth !
I don't think we are going to resolve this one guys, OK the floor is open for the next subject anyone with a idea?

I was once reliably informed (by a woman, of course) that the problem isn't having to put the seat down per se, but rather finding out the seat is up the hard way-in the dark!
The funny thing is I always put the seat down, even though I haven't had a woman to complain about it in...well, a very long time.

Yep, that happened to me two or three times already. That´s not very nice, especially when that happens in a not-so-clean toilet.

I propose a compromise.
Girls: Turn the bloody lights on when you go to whizz. Just do it. Shut up. Make me a sandwich. Put a 4w fluorescent night-light in there if you don't want to get blinded by the mains.
Guys: I grew up with two sisters. I can roll in there at 0230 hours, with a .10 BAC and 4 hours of sleep, and still manage to lift the lid with one foot. I can put that thing up and down, silently, while wearing shoes and using my feet to work the lid. You buggers just need to practice a bit, and look before you shoot.

Putting both the seat AND the lid down solves this problem.
I agree with Tycho. A man is not a real man if he can't operate a toilet with his foot regardless of BAC or urgency.

Reminds me of the old novelty country song Put Another Log On The Fire, written by the legendary Shel Silverstein and recorded in 1974 by Tompall Glaser:
Put another log on the fire.
Cook me up some bacon and some beans.
And go out to the car and change the tire.
Wash my socks and sew my old blue jeans.
Baby, you can light my pipe,
And then go fetch my slippers.
And boil me up another pot of tea.
Then put another log on the fire,
And come and tell me why you're leaving me.
Now don't I let you wash the car on Sunday?
Don't I warn you when you're gettin fat?
Ain't I gonna take you fishin' with me someday?
Well, a man can't love a woman more than that.
Ain't I always nice to your kid sister?
Don't I take her driving every night?
So, sit here at my feet 'cos I like you when you're sweet,
And you know it ain't feminine to fight.
So, put another log on the fire.
Cook me up some bacon and some beans.
Go out to the car, lift it up and change the tire.
Wash my socks and sew my old blue jeans.
Come on, baby, you can fill my pipe,
And then go fetch my slippers.
And boil me up another pot of tea.
Then put another log on the fire, babe,
And come and tell me why you're leaving me.

.... And come and tell me why you're leaving me.
Cuz you left then damn commode lid up!
...with a .10 BAC
How are you still alive?
Ach, never mind. I'm bad with the whole BAC thing. I got confused with 1.0. Now THAT would be a different story. :huh:

I bought something that solved this problem for me; it’s never an issue in my house.
I bought myself a divorce.
Q. You know why divorce costs so much?
A. Because it’s WORTH IT!
When I fill out any form that asks for my marital status, I write in “Very Happily Divorced”
Why do women spend so long in the toilet? Another mystery, I think they do it just to try and unhinge us guys. :hmm:

Well being a single male and living alone, I like to clean house as little as possible, so sitting while peeing is an easy decision, and like somebody else mentioned, I hate it when I sit down in the dark and the seat is up. :oops: Sitting solves all problems. :know:
And to those who live with a woman. Remember, doing the little things for your lady will get you laid more often. :up: (hopefully) :)

Actually we ''Men'' are a bit dumb as beeing on the toilet.
for example the Toillet Paper:
We Men first take an sh!t , and then we go look for the Paper...but the paper is gone:o *BLEEP*
Women first take an piece of toilet paper before they take an dump.
Also...about the seat....when its up...we mostly forget when we are going to take an Sh!t to put the seat down so its like
''rumdumbdumm...mm''
''ZOOOOOFFFF!!! SPLASH''
''Crap!!! now my ass is wet!:damn: ''

Actually, at my house, I do the cooking, cleaning, take care of the kids after school and so on, so if she doesn't chip in a bit, it's me who refuse. Things are turning around nowadays...;)
Oh ya, since I am quite tall, things get a bit splashy when doing it, so I sit down most of the time, so no issues between my wife and me when it comes to the toilet cover.:smug:
By the way, for those people that claim to fall into the bowl when the cover is up, how small are you? Dam! I already tried once for fun and I can't fall no matter what, and I am no fatso, how can you fall in there??? :hmm: :D

Well I don't remember falling in, but I know my balls and fanny have got wet, plus whatever was left on the upper porcelain. :hulk:
