i have had a lot of guy roomates (they're easier to live with than women) and I once had the conversation about the toilet seat, and if you really think about it, if women bitch about the seat being down, why is that ok? men can argue the same, why doesnt the woman put the seat up? they shouldnt have to go in there and put the seat up everytime they need to pee then put it back down. just look. easy as that.
So heres an anecdote about the girl I'm interested right now... We were on the bus a week or so ago. We were chatting about a new job, and this guy overhears her. He says he works for the city and can find us work. She thinks the guys hitting on her. The guy has a guide dog. He's blind. :biggrin: No kidding. Dames I tell ya.
i poop a lot, so there are days when i never have to lift the seat. i do occasionally catch myself by surprise that way..
I insist that the seat be placed down, along with the lid. It keeps the fecal matter from going airborn. I never look. It's my own home, I don't have to look before I turn around and drop my pants. Plus, since I am the only one who cleans the toilet, I get more say. I do have a male roommate, and he has yet to clean the toilet. I have fallen in before, and I have come across the toilet with the seat up and said nothing. He puts the lid down for the most part like I do, so it works out nicely.
What I can't stand is women saying that guys NEVER clean the seat, I don't mean you in particular Aris, I mean women that make the general statement. It's just not true 100 percent of the time. Probably 95% though.
Fecal matter? You get more fecal matter by shaking hands with people. Fecal matter happens. And you can do what you want. I put the seat down too. Habit. I'm just saying not looking where you put your butts not a good survival strategy. Have you ever been camping? That's a recipe for a snake bite.
i've never had to share a bathroom with a boy until the last year, and it only took one time of falling in to start looking.
Ugh. Men don't even bother wiping the floor. I don't expect them to wipe the rim of the porcelain. For that reason, keep the lid down in case my mother comes over. Men will understand that it's necessary to keep the lid down once they start potty training a baby and have a small kid around. Apparently there are young boys who try and stand up to pee but have their penises crushed when the seat comes down onto them. It makes sense to keep the whole seat down with young kids and/or dogs who like to drink out of them.
Actually no. You get a lot of fecal matter that goes airborn when you flush the toilet. Which is why I flush when the seat is put down. They do it in hospitals as a health measure, etc.
Toilet water is actually more sterile than sitting water left out for dogs. It's because of the temperature of the porcelain. And I just looked at my toilet. That penis crushing thing could never happen. Just look Aris.
You get a lot more fecal matter shaking hands with people. http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?newsid=1198445 That's a random sample at a random time. Fecal matter happens.
