I live with 5 women.
Realtor code too.
Seat and lid are down.

Pet Peeve: Realtors that photograph bathrooms with the lid up.
I guess I'm wiped

I know someone who would leave the seat up.....he woke up one night and had to take a dump.....seat was up and when his azzz hit the water he was wide awake. His wife now does not have to remind him to put the seat down.

I make an effort to put the seat down for purely asthetic reasons, but if I don't it's no biggie. My wife knows how to operate the toilet seat so she doesn't care, either.

In the past, I've come across women who insist that I put it down because they were tired of falling into the toilet. Well, I don't know about you, but if you're going to plop your bare ass down on something without looking first, well, that's your own damn fault.

That is correct,
a TV science show here showed the same

the put a dye in the toilet and flushed it, under ultravoilet it went everywhere even with lid down (though partially better)

amazing it even covered things like toothbrushes and cups

It's kind of like having a garbage can with a lid. You don't want to see the garbage so there's a lid. Even though it gets flushed, it's still where the garbage goes.

My other peeve is making the bed (unnecessary, really only for looks) and 1 step further, all of those stupid fracking only-for-looks little pillows all over the damn bed.

My favorite scene from "Along Came Polly" is the pillows on the bed scene. Just makes me want to slap my wife every time I see it.
My first wife used to cover the bed in Garfields. And I do mean cover. I took pleasure in dumping them off the bed each night.

I just use the spare 1/2 bath and keep that lid up all the time, unless we're expecting guests.

So the only times I use the master bath toliet is first thing in the morning when I'm sitting down for a read and the morning constitutional or in the middle of the night when I don't want to turn on a light anyway.

We also the leave the lids down to keep the dogs out. Our dogs would probably stay out anyway, but I had a dog in college that would put his front paws in the toliet when he drank out of it, what a mess

So taking a picture of an open toilet is a sin but pumping a POS, dilapidated, 60-year-old house as being worth a half million bucks is ethical?

Hahaha!

That's good.

It doesn't matter but if she is going to make a bunch of stink about that, well don't go into my tool box and just throw that screw driver where ever she darn well feels, or her son.

This really got out of hand at an office that I was the interim manager at. The admin witch put up signs in the common rest room. Put the seat down and it was directed to the men. Day one I ripped those things down. I waited to see who made a big deal. Took pictures and formally counseled her. Bunch of crap. She lasted less than 6 months, it was the ugliest termination of the ugliest human being I ever did. She lost her court case as well, and that was ugly too.

If someone can't handle the toilet seat issue, what else can't they handle? It is not that I don't agree (seat and lid down always), but it is the demands to do something that they are capable of.

If you keep the lid down, it keeps the cat and dog from using it as their personal drinking fountain (an act that completely disgusts me). You will also not drop any of the following items into the toilet - these are items I've dropped in or have been bumped off the counter: One pearl earring, a pager, several hair brushes through the year and Steve's electric razor.

So Here is The Rule: Seat and Lid in the DOWN POSITION... which steve ignores about 75% of the time. What the hell, 20 years of great extracurricular activities - I'll just live with the toilet seat issue...

Yes, in addition to putting the lid down, a gentleman wipes, too.

I have a great golden retriever who would be upset if I put the seat down. That fricken dog reminds me why they are called "Dogs" when she is in the bathroom drinking away. Then she runs out and wipes her shout on your hand...Gad!

My neighbor has a little dog that comes over and pisses on my fuchs right in front of me. So I bought a wrist rocket...I have seriously considered a way to piss all over it. Any ideas?
