Put the Toilet Seat Down!

Alright, it's come full circle and people are obviously not reading the whole thread and repeating each other. This thread is now pointless.

To the men who just can't fathom why women bitch: once you've fallen either in the nasty toilet water or on a piss-stained rim, it is possible to enrage you. I don't see why that's so hard to get. If that event never took place you can be assured there really wouldn't be an issue. Face it, you guys don't put it up after you shit either so the fact that we've become accustomed to it being down isn't that odd. As mentioned before the seat is down for 3/4 of the toilet needs. We've all pretty much become accustomed to it and it's not that hard to put it down as MANY of you cerebral men have pointed out, so why don't you? I'll answer this, you FORGET. Just fucking own up to that and quit rationalizing it . :rolleyes:
 
No, it's not forgetfulness, it's recalcitrance. It's not a matter of it needing to be down for 3/4 of the bodily functions. It's the fact that we're "REQUIRED" to put it down to appease the womenfolk. I always put both the seat and the lid down. Should Caffy get upset because she might back in there blindly and piss on the lid? No, because she looks before she sits. Why do I always put the lid down? Recalcitrance. My mother was one of those who didn't want to put forth the effort to put the seat down her own damn self and kept bitching at me for her sitting on the rim like an idiot. So to shut her up I started putting the seat down, and the lid too so she'd still have to bend over and manipulate something before she sat on the shitter.

Why don't you own up to the fact that you back into the bathroom blindly and just plop on the toilet?

Yes, the thread is getting repetitive. It just seems more and more like it's just a way for women to exert control over their men-folk by requiring them to do something to keep them happy. Something insignificant that really isn't worth getting worked up over if you'd take 2 seconds to look over your shoulder as you back into the bathroom and glance at the toilet to check.
 
...and even less time for you to flip your wrist and lower the lid. Hey, you don't even have to turn around. ;)

It doesn't matter, this argument can go on forever. I still say it's forgetfulness. It's one of those things that is just expected to be done (regardless of why) that gets forgotten. It's no different than putting things back where you got them from, or putting a new roll of paper on the roll. It's just expected and is easily forgotten. The annoyance factor is just worse because of the nastiness involved with the whole thing (and I'm talking about the aesthetics of the seat being up as well here not just the falling in).
 
Yeah, that'd do it. :tongue:

You know, I thought about this, and I think I know where much of the ire about the issue comes from. Regardless what you guys think, it's not a control issue. It's the fact that it's an oversight that has gross consequences and just a simple matter of courtesy. The same courtesy that is exhibited when many of the women in the households scrub the toilets, wipe the piss off the rim, the seats, the outside of the bowl, the lids, the floor, and scrub the shit from the bowl. This is not necessarily a female's job, but I assure you those who do it have every right to expect a little common courtesy returned in the area of toilets. I also bet many guys in this thread on the other side of the debate aren't the ones who do this very disgusting and thankless job. For those of you who do, fine, but I seriously doubt the majority of the male population are the ones in the households who do this regularly - not just on occassion.

Anyway, I suppose while we're down on our hands and knees doing the above chore and wishing we could be anywhere else doing anything else it never crosses your minds what we do for you without complaining. No, it's not control, it's a simple courtesy that is often forgotten.

/end rant

I'm done here (I hope). :rolleyes:
 
Mmm. This is a good topic.

I mean, if women bitch at men for leaving the toilet seat up, do we bitch at women for leaving the toilet seat down? NO!

I swear to God in Heaven and on Earth, at the same time, that im going to nail my toilet seat up to the back of the toilet. Mahaha. Maybe, maybe not.
