I am the type of girl that sits down when I go to the toilet have always been that way from an early age. Men are so yikky, they leave the toilet seat lid up, they make a mess on the floor and the seat and then they dont even wash their hands after they have been.

Is there any reason why men are so different from women in that they cannot simply put the lid down and clean up after themselves???

Sara.

I totally agree! I always pee sitting down... Just because it makes me feel more like myself. 

hehe, yeah, men are so lazy...

I don't know if my parents know that I pee sitting down but I've left the  seat down (but not the lid) several times and they don't seem to care...

I guess it's one thing I can get away with...

Victoria, I dont mind if the seat lid is not down just the seat (depends on what is in there) - You know your mum always cares. Does your dad leave the seat up or is he well trained?


Sara.

So, just to chime in from the guy's point of view. Why is the default position down? Wouldn't we be equally within our rights to complain that women always leave the seat down?

Although personally, I do sit. When I use the men's room I put the seat up when I leave for the guys who stand.

I agree Dennis, I never understood why it made any difference how the toilet seat was left.

If your a woman, Put it Down.

If your a man, Lift it up.

How hard is that?

I usually sit although there have been a few times where the bathrooms were really icky so I stood.  it is better to stand while I can than to catch something that will leave red blotches or worse all over me.  Oh and there are some women who do not wash their hands either, it is not just a guy thing.

That depends whether your talking about just the seat or the lid.

On that subject I saw a documentary that will gross you out further. It showed how if you leave the lid up whenyou flush how a very fine spray of toilet water goes into the air and setles oneverything. So where is your toothbrush? Ick, you maybe brushing with toilet water which was the point of the documentary.

I therefore agree Melissa wins.

I cured my husband of that habit - all it took was one blood-curdling scream in the middle of the night when my backside hit the COLD porcelin!

Well my Mom leaves it like that too... (it's always nice to be able to leave it like that... works for both my mom and I)

My dad... well he never leaves the seat up, thank god! but he does leave the door open... (sorry, it's just something that bothers me, and he won't stop because "I'm male, and shouldn't mind seeing it."

They have no respect for me being female whatsoever...

I think the spray accually goes up to six feet around the toilet!!!!

On the other hand, I really don't care. At least the seat isn't wet!!  I just have to remember to see what position it in before sitting.

How delightful, toilet talk and I was the one who started this conversation. It's not only the seat and cover it is also the way that the boys seem to have this strong smell afterwoods. Have you ever been in a football room full of half naked guys and manage to pass by the toilet area if you can call it that. Few I nearly passed out. I have never had that smell not ever.


Sara.

For the few that need this information.  If you have never had a UTI it ain't fun.

Never sit and flush, especially right after surgery.   You are asking for a major infection.

Up or down?  NJ is right its flippin cold and wet. 

Whats funny is to walk into a restroom when there is a space between the stall walls and the floor, look down and see a pair of high heels with the toes pointing in the wrong direction.

Had me worried there for a bit Leigh, I was trying to work out the toes being pointed the wrong way and then it hit me. I Have seen some strange things in cubicles or should I say have heard of strange things.

Night Club toilets seem to attract a wide variety of action (lids going up / lids going down).

Sara

The smell is dueto dehidration and the concentration of the urine. To avoid it keep hydrated.

Shelley

Well Leigh, it figures you would come up with something involving chains.

Cassie

Leigh, has anyone ever tried to lift the lid on that one. Someone must have stolen that idea from watching  our posts?

Sara.

 


Leigh, you are just adorable!

Leigh I would never in a million years thought that you would ever post a picture of your bathroom on the web like that.  But then I don't know you that well

A quick question comes to mind hun... where do you hang your whip ?
