Toilet Seat Positions

[Mantor]

Stand up urinals are found in restaurants, clubs and most all public restrooms. However, they are not incorporated into restrooms and bathrooms of private homes enabling many 'macho' women to nag and complain, ferociously sometimes, about toilet seat covers and their positions after use.

The whole idea of placing the toilet seat down is nonsense and an invitation to nasty residue being left behind. For example, the gang is over for a party or the neighbor stopped by for some coffee and small talk. If a lazy or perhaps intoxicated male guest uses the restroom and the toilet seat is down there is a chance he may only raise the first toilet cover and not the seat before urinating and missing. With the seat and cover already raised prior to arrival the man cannot messy the seat with a miss.

Also, I know some toilet heavyweights that can leave behind a real killer stench, from either end. Putting down the toilet seat directly afterwards can and does save much of the stench for the next person. Not polite. I prefer to always leave the toilet seat up. Having an open window is cool, if available.

In any case, my reasoning for keeping the toilet seat up is logical and scientific. Women often complain out of impatience and intolerance that can easily distract her ability to reason and consider the situation calmly and in full. The simple solution of having urinals be a part of your private restroom never did come up.

An end to the age old war of toilet seat edicate that men and women sometimes split over. For every problem there is a solution. I will soon give the word allowing urinals to be built into private homes. Men everywhere and from all over are gonna' be buying me a beer...

I think urinals are becoming more common in many new home construction plans.

(I swear, where do my words disappear to that make coherent sentences?)

 

[Grandpa]

I always put it down. Grandma at one point said to me, "It takes you the same effort to put it down as it does for me, and it looks so much nicer, and it makes me happier. So is there really a problem with putting it down?"

Game, set, match on that issue. I've put it down ever since, wherever I am. And then, yes, wash my hands.

I've known guys that insist that urinals are already incorporated in modern bathrooms. They're called sinks.

I put the seat and cover down. Lost too many pairs of sunglasses the other way.

I've had to fish my keys out too.

Yes, sinks are always a valid option if the shower is already in use.

Naturally, when the Mrs, or any Lady, says put it down then I put it down. That's a whole other ball game Grandpa. And, eh, come on, be honest...sometimes you skip the wash and just rinse don't you?!
Check mate on that issue.

Time for the old redneck joke I guess:

How can you tell if the hotel you're in is a redneck hotel?

• you call down to the front desk and when you say "I got a leak in my sink" the other party answers:
• That's okay - just take the dishes out first

I was looking for one of those funny (<---sometimes--->) poignant images to post.

Apparently "pissing outside" is a fetish.

I'll do it if I need to and have excellent cover, but people in this world are goofbutts.

You, obviously, have never had to clean the bathroom after a drunk guy has used it. Assuming he can tell the difference between a toilet and a garbage can, he can't aim. You would think that great big hole would be easy to hit. Apparently not! Just as likely to hit the seat cover that is up, and it'll bounce off and hit the seat anyway.

Unless you have the foresight to put a Cheerio in the bowl. Little boys and drunks always try to hit the Cheerio.

Or a froot loop. More colorful.

Oh, gosh, now we're really wandering into TMI land.

Generally after using a urinal, I usually just rinse and dry because I'm getting rid of the aerosolized urine. Urine itself is pretty sterile, so I'm not concerned about pathogens finding microfissures on my hands and digging in to await a convenient vector.

But for bowel evacuation and handling stuff (like toilet seats) that will have fecal particles, I use soap and water, because then I do have a motivation then to kill as many pathogens as possible.

Since we're in bathroom habit mode, I brush my teeth in hot water because 1) hot water cleans better and 2) heat facilities chemical reactions, like the fluoride in the toothpaste binding to the enamel. Cold water tastes and feels better, but hot water does a better job.

If I applied this level of analysis to something practical, like what I do with my money, I could probably retire by now.

If she says Frog, do you jump?

This is clear evidence of Communist brainwashing.

I think we need to flush this discussion.........

Besides there are really only three positions:

• Up
• Down
• Worshipping the Porcelain God. That's from the Latin Vomitus Positionus.

The flush alone from a toilet is enough argument to put the lid down.
Germs everywhere, including over to that toothbrush you casually leave out in a cup on the back of the sink when you're through brushing your teeth..
So.....consider the situation calmly and in full, dude.

See now this doesn't bother me. I use my toothbrush to get under the edge of the toilet rim when the toilet duck fails me..........

Point taken. We men have our quirks too. I just don't know what they are.
We could add that, statistically speaking, cleaning personel rate the cleaning of women's public restrooms as at least twice the work overall. Like your attitude though...
