Let's talk about the old toilet seat issue.

The women ALWAYS seem to gripe that the men never put the lid back down.

Ladies, my point is this - if I leave the lid UP, at least you know I lifted it!

Doesn't pass the logic test to put it down.

LID LEAVER-UPPERS UNITE!

NCWalker

Oh, NC!! Don't do it man! Don't influence the men! Women, we must unite on this!!

Additionally: think, we have to TOUCH the toilet seat to put it back down! ewwwww.... The courteous and gentlemanly thing to do is put it down so we don't have to soil our hands with that yuckiness!! What happened to chivalry!!!

You don't have FEET? You use your foot to "grab" the side of the seat, and lower it, and you never have to touch it. (At least in Public Restrooms). If you won't touch the one at home, then perhaps there's other issues here..... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Editing to add...

But, come to think of it, there wouldn't be any reason for you to have to "lower" the seat in a Public restroom, now would there?

And, while we're on this issue, why is it acceptable for Men to have to "touch" the "eeewwwy" toilet seat, and not women? Given the low percentage of men that wash their hands in the restroom, I would think that you women wouldn't want your men "manhandling" a toilet seat, and then coming out and running their hands through your hair. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

Yeah, it's called a seven year old boy!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

OH, and what if I use my foot to lower it, slip on the wet floor from either my 7 year old or H taking a shower getting the floor wet, fall down, hit my head and get knocked out, which will then cause me to pee my pants, because I wasn't able to go....then the paramedics come and I'm stinky with my own pee, wet from the floor, have a lump on my head from falling and have to explain why I was hopping on one foot while trying to lower the toilet seat!! It could happen!!! LOL

1) I never cut my nails in public. I'm another one who only does it after a shower when they're softer, and only in the bathroom, always picking them up or whatever to make sure they're thrown away. Hey, I've stepped on them too (or worse, stepped on what my cats pull off of their nails...OUCH!), and I don't like it either.

2) The toilet seat. To me it's a no-brainer. I always put everything down when I'm done for one simple reason. Why would I want to look into a toilet bowl unless I have to? I'd much rather look at the lid when I go in and out of the bathroom for whatever reasons (medications, personal hygiene, bathing...)

3) Nose-picking is mostly private. I prefer not to do it when anyone might see me, simply because I don't exactly like seeing anyone else do it. But sometimes, you just have to clean that thing out, no matter what. As for the car, well, I always have a box of tissues in my car anyway (old habit from usually carrying 2 adults and 2 kids around, someone always seemed to need to blow their nose), so disposal isn't an issue there either.

Ahh, what a fun set of thoughts to discuss first thing in the morning. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> 3) And three, and the grossest "popular" habit where I now live (in the west) is "spitting". It seems like 90% of the men around here "chew"; so they're always spitting. At work they spit in the trash cans or on the shop floor; in the car they spit into a can; and then at the stop lights they either a) empty the contents of the can onto the street, or b) Open the drivers side door, stick their heads out, and "evacuate" this large amount of "fluid" that has accumulated in their mouths since the last stoplight! </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">O.K., this one I can relate to...I used to chew. For a long time. And I never could swallow so ya had to have the "spit cup" around always. That is nasty!! The one that worked the best for the car was a pepsi type bottle with the screw on lid. When I was a teenager I remember some guys that would spit right on the floor board of their truck between the door and their left leg!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> That was disgusting! How would ya like to clean that truck?

Oh, and I'm a girl!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> And I live our west too. Yep. I started chewing when I was about 15-16 and didn't quit till after I had 3 kids.
What a nasty habit.

AH, PB, at least I know my H washes his hands!! (and yes I do too). It's ok for the man to touch the eeewwy seat because he's a man and should do it, not the wife!!

That's fine...YOU handle the sh*tty diapers, and I'll lower the seat.

WORKS FOR ME!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

HB,

You are still not passing the logic test. If we could leave the seat up, then it wouldn't BE "eeewy" and you could put it down.

What you fail to realize is that a man is nothing more than a 10 year old trapped in a grown up body. We will stop at NOTHING to avoid something that inconveniences us.

You keep the pressure on us about the lid thing and what you will do is drive us to pee in the shower drain and avoid the toilet all together.

Didn't think about that, did ya?

I am a MAN, the WORLD is my urinal!

NCWalker

My son still pees on the seat, even when it is up!! (um, at least I think and assume its my son...heehee). That's my logic!

My mom told me peeing in the shower on your feet cures any athletes foot you may have....ewwwww

Oh boy...where do I start?!?!? Sorry for the delay in posting, but other important stuff to take care of! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />

NCW--once again, gotta agree with ya man! Logic! BUT, are women really logical? This is why this man has to go against your crusade and say "Put the seat down, man!"

Chew: smoking is bad enough (smoker), but ever stick a few cigarettes in your mouth with a piece of gum, and start, well, chewing?

Makeup (in public): hey men: next time you see a woman putting on makeup in public, whip out your tube of hemmhoroidal cream and start applying!

Have a good week everyone!


P.S. I have *NEVER* had athlete's foot! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

P.P.S. I have a ten-year old and two-year old daughters! Can't wait for PMS?menopause/and boyfirends all kicking in at the same time!!!! (Keep telling my two older boys (19 & 18) that when they get their own places, I'll buy their couches 'cause I'll be over quite a bit!)

KAWABUNGA!!!!!!!!

I am MAN Flatulence for everyone.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> Ohhhhh man, FM!!!!!! We stayed clear of that topic for a whole week! Until now! OK, you opened up a can of worms now! Or, shall we say, gave a cheek lift!

(Funny, but really when you think about it, not so funny story...in a few of my lenghty posts, I talk about all of the BS in my life, including at work. (I'm a manager: more like a glorified babysister, psychologist, "judge and jury" (and toss in there "lawyer"), etc.) I actually had to reprimand one of my employees (male, late twenties) for flatulence. Gave the lift off his chair and all! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> Incredible! (Boy, I could tell you stories about the place I work at...can't wait til I retire (long way) to write my book about this place. You really wouldn't believe some of the stories!!!) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Halsey that thing with your brother and it landing on your tongue - Oh man I can't get it out of my mind, no wonder you've never been the same.

Talk about flatulence - I have a friend who never passed gas in front of her husband, she was married for three years and never once did fart in front of him. Until one day at a picnic she let go a big one, we all started laughing at the look of horror on her face when she all of a sudden burst into tears she was so horrified.

And then there is my beautiful daughter who thinks farting is the funniest thing in the entire world. And she is VERY gassy. I love to hear her fits of giggles everytime she gleefully farts, I just hope she gets over it before junior high!

Speaking of flatulance: I went to Chicago with my Dad this weekend to pick up my oldest from his week with his grandparents and my dad and I shared a hotel room to cut costs. My dad had such bad gas, that he repeatedly woke me from a sound sleep! ewwwww......

My WH never, never farts in front of me or anyone else. Thank God!! He's very private about that.....

I can't believe we're talking about farts....Good Monday morning!
