why do women want us to keep the seat down. what's the difference???! if they want us to keep it down for them, then why don't they put it up for us when they're done?
I think I think...therefore, I think I am.

They are deathly afraid of falling in or sitting in the urine you splashed on the rim.

Because they are self-serving biatches that consider themselves to be a "Princess" no matter how fat they are, and how dark their moustache becomes.



At least that is what a can summise judging only by the "women" I see driving around town with those stupid "I'm a Princess" glitter stikers in the window. (Usually over the 3rd brake light.)

I think the real reason is they would never have to move the toilet seat at all if it weren't for the inconvenience of having a man around.

We move it all the time, so we think nothing of it.

but then some guys (not me), leave it down, and just splash on the seat anyway, so that's that argument blown out of the water

oooh, almost a joke there, somewhere!

i always wondered: why do they ALWAYS (used in the same way that men 'always' leave the seat up, pfft...), leave all their underwear on the bedroom floor? what's wrong with the wooden boxy thing, with draws in it?

HEY LAYDEEEZ...?

that's because when they are trying to get away from you they tend to forget stuff.

They actually don't want us to sit down (they don't really "sit" on our toilet either). They just don't want to clean our urine.

If you're confident you won't miss do it like you want to. But if you're drunk it's probably a better idea to do it like them an squat over the toilet.

If I ever get married and be able to build my own home, I'll get a urinal. That'll prevent any discussion.

standing in front of the wardrobe, doors open, full of clothes, and they say "i haven't got a thing to wear!"

ARGH!!!

then, most of THAT ends up on the floor too, as they try it all on, complain about it not fitting these days, etc...

okay phil, quit now, before they all come and attack. they'll smell your fear and you'll be done for. dude, you're talking to yourself too, quit that!

the POLITE thing to do is to close the whole thing when finished. If you can't look before you sit, that's your problem. Bet you won't have it twice.

I used to question my girlfriend about this, exclaiming that I have *never* accidentally sat down on the rim with the seat up.

But then it happened to me for the first time last week. Now I gotta keep my mouth shut.

[color=orangered]If you want it down, put it down yourself. It isn't hard, and if you fall in, it's your own fault.

When I'm at someone else's house, I always put it back the way it was.

I occasionally put the toilet seat up to piss off Miranda.

I think it should be a consideration thing, put it in the opposite position when your done (up for female, down for male). Or, like Cheerios suggested, just close it up completely when done.

What's the big deal? Don't you people EVER LOOK AT THE FREAKING TOILET BEFORE SITTING ON IT?!

I like to clean mine with a little rubbing alcohol before sitting on it

That only applies to Cheerios ... my understanding is that she lays out some pretty heinous smelling logs.
