The Great Debate

STEED · 09-20-06, 02:44 PM

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.

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.

Whoever cleans the toilet should get to choose!

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.

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 never have an argument with my wife over this issue. I pee sitting down. This way I don't get an earfull from the better half and I never miss!

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

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
