Moaning about men leaving the toilet seat up is a waste of breathe.

[TheMitsubishiWarrioress]

Why?

What is so important about the toilet seat that it needs to be left down.

Are most of us not capable of lifting the toilet seat. What WAS feminism all about?

Why nag them at all about anything. What makes the way WE do things so right.

I have got better things to think about than whether or not a guy has done things the way I prefer.

And why do they get blamed for just about everything? When did the male of the species become scapegoats for our disatisfactions?

We are different, why not accept it and focus on more important things in life?

I am not doing a wind up. I just don't get stressed about any of the stuff that seem to be held as minor crimes against the female species.

Are you a bloke?

Lol...No I am not. I am a 39 year old woman with 2 dc's and have been MNing for nearly a year.

Not trolling either.
I just don't get it.

Well I don't know who these women are you that you're referring to as I don't give a shite what position that loo seats in. I can't recall any of my friends whining about it either....

Everybody should put the lid down before they flush I reckon.

Logically it doesn't bother me. Theres more males than females round here so why shouldn't I be the one to have to adapt but we insist (DH as well) that the seat and lid are both put down. It stops small people putting things in it and dogs drinking from it (ugh)

Ah now, there may not be threads about loo seats, but there are about loading the dishwasher correctly, and hanging washing up correctly, and cleaning, and ironing, and someone always weighs in and says 'it's a man thing". Although to be fair there are always a bunch of posters who counter with their own models of perfection DHs, so pretty even I reckon.

YABU. A waste of breathe? That doesn't make sense.

A wste of breath? Maybe.

I house-shared with a twat lawyer who constantly complained about "fucking women leaving the fucking seat down"

Lol...TA 'A wste of breath' nicely pedanted...

the seat up I can live with - the dribbles of piss on the floor are something else.

Actually it is the whole thing, not the 'loo-seat' issue perse.

In this house, I am the one that apparently does things wrong and I think , who gets PMT here?

I have MY washing up restacked, washing redone on the line, comments directed through the kids.....'Who did X, Y or Z?' when it was patently me who left the phone upstairs, or forgot to lock the back door, or didn't wash up umpteen times because I would rather just do one load than fill the bowl 5 times.

THE REASON THE LOO SEAT SHOULD ALWAYS BE CLOSED AFTER USNG IS WHEN THE LOO IS FLUSHED LITTLE BITS OF WHATEVERS DOWN THERE FLY ABOUT THE ROOM AND LAND ON EVERYTHING! EEEWWWW! I DONT WANT TO BRUSH MY TEETH WITH PISHY/SHITY TOOTHBRUSH ,DO YOU? [WINK]

YOU ARE PARANOID

THE AIR IS TEEMING AND BUZZING WITH GERMS

WHY NOT JUST HAVE YOURSELF LAMINATED JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE

A fineexample of Muphry's law

why are you all shouting? You're giving me a headache

oh i wasnt meaning to shout forgot the caps was on. paranoid, moi???? noooo? (ocd ? defo)some germs/bacteria are ok, someone else's fecal matter is not.

OK.....so flush it with the lid down and then kindly put it back UP in case he goes to the toilet next.

I am rarely allowed to stack the dishwasher when DH is around, because apparently he is the 'master' of dishwasher stacking, and i don't use the space efficiently enough! LOL, not complaining though.

TMW , but what if DH flushes with the lid up? lol

Aaaarrggghhh!! dunno....breathing mask lol...

I don't mind the seat being left up, I do mind the drips of wee left all round the rim and down the outside of the bowl onto the floor.

Yes, I am perfectly capable of wiping it but why should I have to wipe up another adult's piss?

i never thought women actually moaned about this. and always thought it was one of those exagerated stereotypes that bad comics/sitcoms/journalists relied on when trying to labour some "the difference between men and women is...." type of joke.
then my mate moved in with his gf and she started having a go at him about it once when i was over there to watch the football (leaving it up that is, not piss all over the seat which is disgusting). i actually couldn't believe that A)some women in real life did in fact see this as an argument worthy topic
and B)thought she was in a position to dictate to another adult that they had to do something their way from now on.

i can only imagine that she was spoiling for a fight or had bought into this bullshit stereotype because no one could actually care this much about something so trivial could they? if you go in for a piss and the toilet seat is down but you want it up, just lift it up. if you go in and it is up but you prefer it down, then just put it down? how is this one second consuming action worth mentioning?

The only time I get cross at DH leaving the seat up is if he leaves it up overnight... and that's because I tend to get up in the night to pee and (being half-asleep) it's much nicer to "land" on the toilet seat than on the edge of the bowl!

I can truly say that my adult son puts the seat down each time he uses it AND uses air freshener if required! Wasn't hard to do, just started early
