Click For Summary
The discussion centers around the frustrations women have regarding men not lifting the toilet seat when urinating, which is perceived as a cleanliness issue rather than a matter of shared labor. Women express their discomfort with having to touch a toilet seat that may be contaminated with urine, emphasizing that their complaints stem from hygiene concerns rather than simply wanting men to do half the work. The conversation reveals a divide in understanding between genders, with men often dismissing the issue as trivial or a matter of personal responsibility. Some men argue that if cleanliness is the concern, women should simply clean the seat themselves if necessary, while women counter that it is unfair to expect them to clean up after men. The discussion touches on broader themes of gender dynamics and expectations, with some participants referencing feminism and expressing confusion about its implications in this context. Ultimately, the thread highlights the ongoing struggle for mutual respect and understanding in shared living spaces.

Woman are not mad at men for not lifting the toilet seat because of the piss left on the seat, their just mad because if they lift it themselves that would make them the ones doing all the work. They think this way subconsciously without knowing it. If the real reason to their complaining was in fact because of the piss left on the seat, they would probably just raise the seat up themselves each time after they were through. They want men to lift the toilet seat up when they piss so that the man would be doing half of the work, and after the woman pees, she would then put the seat down which would complete the cycle with both sides having the equal amount of work done…feminism is truly a *****.

What an astonishing piece of insight. I think you have changed my world outlook forever.

Except that it is an astonishingly INCORRECT piece of {insight?}. If you really think this is a work issue, you have a WHOLE LOT to learn about women. Now maybe it is a work issue for YOU (how 'bout getting your lazy ass off the couch and actually going in and CLEANING that toilet!) -but for us, it's a cleanliness issue. We don't want to TOUCH a toilet seat covered in piss, and we don't want to look into the toilet bowl with the lid up. I always feel I have to wash my hands BEFORE I go to the bathroom if I have to touch the seat to put it down. It's GROSS! I don't want that hand touching any part of my body after it's touched that nasty toilet seat. So, to reiterate - IT'S NOT A WORK ISSUE! WE DON'T LIKE TOUCHING YOUR PEE-COVERED TOILET SEAT! :rolleyes: :mad: :-p :eek: :biggrin:
 
and we don't want to look into the toilet bowl with the lid up.

That's the nub of the complaint. But it's a hard sell to the guys, who always have to stare into the toilet. What's not to like about it?

Well, I got to tell ya. From what I've seen at work, guys do not even LOOK at the toilet while they pee. They look just about everywhere else, and their aim pretty much goes with wherever they're looking. Which is why we girls don't want to touch the bottom of that nasty seat!

What's not to like about it?
Uhhhh... 'Skid' marks? :eek: (Jeez, I wish they'd put seat covers on the toilets at work.) :mad:
 
uh...who has problems pissing in the bowl? jeez i dont, I'm glad I'M normal :)
 
Men are expected to do everything the women must do except that men create the problems associated with bad aim. So really I think this is an aim dependent issue. Bad aimers should should lift the seat while the rest of us more talented folks shouldn't have to bother. As for the women, if you run with a crowd of bad aimers then that's your problem. Bad life choices come with consequences. :-p

Im kinda confused here... what type of feminism? The feminist movement in the 1920s about the right to vote? Nineteenth Amendment? Or the modern feminist movement? (the highly-manhating one, of which I am completely confused about) ?

Tsunami, if you're grossed out by the toilet thing there is always the layer-the-toilet-paper-on-the-bowl option, or you could go natural style near a stylish tree (100% fertilizer!)

I thought the whole issue was that we were supposed to remember to put the seat back down when we are done pissing, so that the woman doesn't sit in the bowl.
It's all so confusing, that's why I pee in the shower. Did you know you can pee on someone in the shower and they don't even know it?

I live with my parents and my brother. 2 of the 3 men would rather piss on the seat than lift the seat up (I'm the one who lifts the seat up). Because of men being such pigs, my mom has her own bathroom. If I have to drop anchor, I always try to use that bathroom. If I'm forced to use the piss-seat bathroom, I always end up cleaning the seat before I use it! Of course the piss-seat bathroom has a concave seat which makes it even more disgusting. It always seems necessary to shower after using that bathroom... :frown:

Am I the only guy in the world who does not enjoy sitting in his own urine?

I will never forget the night I woke up and went to the bathroom and ended up splashing down into cold water. :mad:

I was half asleep. I wasn't thinking. Now I check to make sure the seat is down, even when there are no men around. Once is enough. Talk about a rude awakening! :eek:

It's about equal to crossing the street without looking both ways. And since adults can do anything kids can do (not pertaining to size), it's fully possible that a grown woman can fall into a toilet.

:biggrin:
 
  • #22
Especially since men don't live in my house, I had a guest. I wasn't expecting the lid to be up.
 
  • #23
Likely excuse!

Either way, I don't think you can weasel your way out of looking bad on this one. ;)

Would another testimonial help to persuade you? How about 3 of them? My mom, my sister and myself had a riotous time telling our stories of sitting in the bowl - and yes, it was usually well after midnight and in the dark. Not only that, but I had a cat that used to love to drink out of the toilet, balanced precariously on the seat. When Ivan and I started dating, he left the seat up a few times and not only did I fall in, but so did the cat. (Although THAT was FUNNY! :biggrin: :biggrin: ) Ivan soon learned that, to keep peace with me and the cat, he needs to put the seat put the seat down. Especially since, after the first time he did it, after drying off I went back to bed and snuggled my cold (and still slightly damp) buns up against him in his sleep! I figured one 'rude awakening' deserved another! :wink: :biggrin: Of course, HE thought it was hysterical and well worth it. :mad:
