lol
my husband has never left the seat up, he was well trained by his mum! personally don't care if the seat is up on not... i just flick it down when it's my turn.
the worst i've ever had is when I have left the LID down, and then sat on it in the middle of the night "WHAT THE..???" i tried to blame him but he just laughed at me lol |

Funny story!! Be happy that he lifts the seat up. Between my husband and my two 8 year old sons, I have to wipe off the seat everytime I go to the bathroom. |

Don't sweat the small stuff, so what if it's down or up, check the seat before plopping on it |

I have been married for 13 years and the S.O. B still can't figure it out here either. I too have fallen in and he thinks it is funny. I think it is a loss cause. If you do figure out a way to teach them, let me know too!!! |

The never ending toilet seat saga hmmmmm.......that is one that I don't think will ever be settled. I have gotten in the habit of sitting down to use the toilet whether it's for #1 or #2.
As for funny marriage stories how about this one. My wife and I were on our honeymoon, camping near Jackson Hole Wy. I had a fire built and was getting the burgers on the grill and i smelled something so FOUL it was really bad. I said what the heck stinks, my wife grinned and said "that would be me". OMG I laughed so hard. I told her "honey I love you but I'm sleeping in the car tonight." I didn't really but it has made for some good laughs even now 18 years later.
I hope this brightens your day.
I leave the seat down. |

i've often wondered why women complain about the seat being up...when the man can complain about the seat being down.
here's another thought that along the same lines...if women want to have equality in the world, then why don't they feel the need to ask men out and pay for the dinner and the movie!?
if that was the case, then i'd understand why women should make the same as men in their jobs. i think that employers pay men more because they know they are going to give the money to women by taking them to dinner and movies and other fun date ideas that we (men) have to come up with since it's tradition.
therefore...women should be nice and raise the toilet seat when they are done. it's time for a man to get something out of this deal!
i was on my soap box and probably didn't make sense...i get that alot. hope you laughed. |

haha Nice to see that you have a happy marriage and can laugh at yourself :) That's great :) I am one of the lucky ones - my husband always puts the seat down now... asked him to right from the start, but took a little while!! haha Six years on, he's great! Actually, we put the seat down and lid on top - nice to keep all the germs off and if there's any flies down... just one bad thing about that - don't forget the lid is down in the middle of the night....!!!!!!!!! hahahaha |

I don't know why people are so petty about toilet lids being up or down. I think it is so stupid and childish. It seems to be more women than men that have the problem with the toilet seat. Take the darn thing off and there would be nothing to get upset about..Ladys is it really that hard to put a toilet seat down, does it break your arm to do so. You don't hear men crying because you left it down and have to lift it up, now do you.. So what the hell is your problem? |
|

The answer is 42.

This is approximately the stupidist complaint I hear all the time.
The reason the seat is up is so that when men take a leak, it doesn't get the seat wet. Do you want the seat down so you sit in wet p*ss? I don't think so.
The reason the seat is up is in consideration for not getting p*ss all over the seat.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... |

Thinks could be worse, your husband could be refusing to work and you are completely left to support a child that isn't yours biologically, |

I personally think this is something very petty to argue over.....If a woman is afraid of falling in during the night...How about flipping the light switch on first? After all there could be a freaking snake hiding out in the toilet.... |

Funny story... and I thought I was intolerant... My husband does the same thing, but I don't really care, because I use one toilet and he uses another one, so I never have to put the seat down... |

"...it has been found that the social norm of leaving the toilet seat down is inefficient." |

lol we decided that since I, the female, go to the bathroom MORE, then it would be more efficent for him to leave it up than for me to put it down .That's the only reason why it is the way it is. |

One approach could be:
"Man o' mine...
Please leave the seat down after you flow, because when I have to go in the middle-of-the-night -- and get the butt-splash -- it's no fun for me." |

gravity help you put it down. We have to fight gravity to put it up. |

"42" Has a pretty good grasp of the situation.
I say, look before you sit. Any woman who's gotten a "wet bottom" more than once is "learning dis-abled", & not observent.
Be glad he isn't a "joker" who puts plastic wrap across the bowl, then puts the seat down. "Just for you sweet britches."
Girl, chill-out! If you've got no sense of humor........?
Okay, you've got your "giggle on". Live,Love,Laugh!!!!! |

The only way he is going to feel a woman's aggravation with the seat being up is if he wakes up in the middle of the night with explosive diahrrea and sits down on the toliet without looking and falls and splashes into that cold water!! I bet he puts the seat down then! |

i always put the seat down, not only because my mom is in the house, but because somebody (maybe myself) may have to poop. If i have to lift the seat, i just kick it up since i have my shoes on most of the time and i don't get my hands dirty. |
