To leave the toilet seat up...

[SheepInWolfsClothing]

I mean, I know you don't like to touch it and put it down, but I don't like to touch it either, so it's the same for both of us and just one of those unwinnable arguments isn't it, and you only mention it when you are upset about something else and want to start a fight, don't you?

Logic would dictate that by lifting the seat to pee in the toilet you have already touched the damn thing. Therefore you will NOT contract Ebola having to put it back in position for the next user who may be female and doesn't like the feel of ice-cold porcelain on her derriere when desperate and ripping her trousers down around her ankles half way through the door becasue she can't hold it in any more.
Be a bit more considerate.

I need to amend that initial sentence.

I typed "lifting the seat to pee in the toilet", it should have read "lifting the seat to pee all over the place except down the toilet bowl"

But if it was left up, I could just walk in and pee with no touching.

And I can pee straight. With no hands. Other men sometimes comment on it, which disturbs me slightly.

@Reality

Mine has started climbing on all by himself, sometimes forgets to take his trousers down though!

Well I'm impressed, can you come round and teach the men in my house to not piss all over the floor ..

Not unwinnable at all...
Lid should always be down for hygiene reasons
Lid cannot be down without seat.
Therefore seat should always be down.
I thank you

sheep- the only way that is possible is if your hips are at the height of the toilet bowl.

Are you really that short?

awww you love us don't you?

and YABU, utterly

How would you feel if I didn't power down the laptop at night?

It's kind of the same, it's a 'thing' not worth starting a whole new row about, but since we're heading there anyway I'll use it as an example of your thoughtlessness...

@different Some of us are lucky enough not to have a shower head for a helmet. It also helps when writing ones name in the snow.

@jackstini that is reasonably logical. Or it would be IF she put the lid down, but in fact she'll happily have a pee and not flush. Which I think is far more questionable.

@madascheese I really don't mind, I often leave my computers on overnight. I have several that have been running for months, and a whole year isn't unheard of.

And yes, I do seem to like it here.

@reality He's just turned three.

Well, you never know when I'm going to need some parenting advice. Although obviously I won't be asking for recipe suggestions!

Well, darling, we don't widdle on it. So put it down, please.

But if your out, and I know you are out for a few hours, it's reasonable for me to leave it up for my convenience isn't it? And then if I accidentally forget to put it down that's not the most heinous crime known to womankind is it?

Jeeze, looks like we've tamed him already, almost takes the fun out of it

it is contributory towards the most heinous crime of the century.

So please be a darling and save yourself a lot of agro and put the fucking thing down!

Yep, crimes to womankind. Once you mention those we have to get out the guns and load them with lethal frozen fruit shoots.

Sorry. Needs must.

But I may as well just sit down then. Where is the fun in that?

I suppose I could read the paper. Or take the laptop in with me.

Going for a whizz is not supposed to be fun. It's not like wanking.

But if you can pee standing up you can amuse yourself trying to pee the little splatters off the inside of the bowl.
