Worse than the incessant need to talk, is the unfathomable desire to find the "hidden" meaning in everything I say.
There is no hidden meaning!
If you didn't understand me, I'll try a different language!
Hear, Hear! Haven't left the lid up in years.
I saw the title and immediately thought of you...
I think you're right.

I was in a rest room on a 'military facility' where the cockaroaches were bigger than my shoes. They weren't scared or nothing. just sat there staring... gathering to attack. they were even in the unrinals, sinks, etc.. Musta been fifty of the buggers.
I got the hell out of there before they decided to give chase, and to this day I refuse to return to that building.
But I didn't go far enough in to determine whether the seats were up or down.
"...who didn't know a bevy of garrulous girls in school?"
As an exercise in alliteration, I would have said:
"...a gaggle of garrulous girls..."
Whatever about women's bathrooms.
Pull out the ultraviolet light sometime. See how much urine is all over the toilet and the floor.
Sitting IS superior to standing. It's much, much cleaner for all the others involved. Besides, you get to rest. :D
As for "seat up", I wouldn't care EXCEPT I HATE the COVER being up. To me, the cover should always be down/on except when using the tidy.
I really don't want to lose my glasses or my toothbrush or anything down there, no matter how clean it is!
Men do the hard part, we pull against gravity in raising the seat. When women put it down they are assisted with gravity, their half of the job is easier.
Anyone who bitches about doing the easier part of the job when they actually want no part of this job will never convince me they actually want equal treatment or equality.
It's not logical, is it?
I am a musician and I can tell you this. Musicians are inveterate gossips and tend to not ever shut up. They are the worse offenders in my universe. Some repeat the same anecdotes over and over again, to a point where it becomes very irritating. Sometimes, I need to walk away just to get some relief. With some, it's like an act you're not interested in watching.
You forgot the rimshot.
You've had that happen too huh? Grrrrrr!
I'm not falling for it. As a true lady, I expect men to act like gentlemen. I hold them to higher standards then today's feminists. I expect them to open and hold the door for me, to leave the toilet seat down and to do those little things that show he is being considerate of me.
In return, I treat him with dignity and respect. I allow him to be the "man" of the relationship and I don't try to curtail his masculinity.
I'll bet you've never sat on a rattlesake in the desert.
"My response has been to always put the lid and seat down. It takes the same amount of effort, it prevents stuff from accidentally falling in it, and it keeps the pets out of the bowl. My three sons and I always put the lids down."
Good for you! I just wrote about this. It's very practical.
"I wonder why the females in the house don't put the lids down when they are finished doint their business?"
I don't know. Did you ever explain the supreme practicality of this? As a female they should have more to lose down that toilet than you! I always put down covers.
aw now that's an awful sH!^^y thing to do to one of GOd's creatures;-)!
Shoot, I don't worry about the seat. I just pee in the sink.
Now if he'd just put it down when he was done, we wouldn't fall in the toilet in the middle of the night. ;)
Men are handicapped. Lol! That about sums it all up right there! :P
you have the perfect screnname for the thread!
I'm divorced now, so I don't get bitched at for it anymore.
