Guys, you have three... four.. four choices!...

Last edited Sun Jan 4, 2015, 11:36 PM - Edit history (1)

And I don't care which one of you was the last to go...

1.- Lift the seat on the toilet before you go.
2.- Squat on the seat when you go.
3.- Wipe the sit of the toilet after you go.
4.- Depends

End of discussion. I don't want to know who did it, just FIX IT!

who would open the lid with her head.

Then drink with the lid on top of her silly head.

Yes, she had water readily available in her bowl.

I miss her.

I've always wanted to do that.

To answer the original, if ladies are so concerned, shouldn't they pay attention to the seat's location and cleanliness or dryness thereof?

Yes, I look before I sit down on a toilet.

There was a rather funny line by George Carlin about bathrooms: What the hell is all this stuff about "Wash your hands...Wash your hands ...Wash your hands after taking a dump....Fuck Man! I don't shit on my hands!"

Of course, that's not the point but the way he said it...

Otherwise your potty leavings spray all over the bathroom.

As for the next person, they should just assume the lid is closed and deal from there.

So I wouldn't recommend presuming anything.

It is not easy to extract a 7month pregnant woman from a toilet bowl.

I meant the lid, not the seat. But I'm sorry that happened to you. It's never fun to land on open toilet seat and I imagine it's super awful while pregnant.

can be pretty sneaky, or so I've read.

Even if the seat is closed, if there's a gap between the seat and the rim, the potty spray will come out that way.

After reading that, I started storing my toothbrush in the medicine cabinet instead of out in the open in the toothbrush holder.

Maybe we should use the same training techniques;

who puts one of those paper things on the seat before she sets her precious fanny down.

And then leaves it for somebody else to clean up, because no way she's touching that dirty paper where here fanny just sat. Oh, and then there was the other day when her soiled TP failed to drop into the toilet, instead clinging to the paper thingie on top of the toilet seat. (no emoticon seems to fit here)

If I am supposed to lift the seat before I go, it makes it damned near impossible to squat on the seat when I go. With instructions like these, it's no wonder we make a mess.

30. Go out in the garden and pee in the compost heap.
Sat Jan 3, 2015, 11:02 PM

It will appreciate the nitrogen.

I have some funny stories about my great grandmother's outhouse, and big weddings and other celebrations where the septic tanks overflowed.

Similar stories again, just this last Thanksgiving holiday.

When my wife and I bought our house we saw its connection to the city sewer as a very desirable feature. We wouldn't ever have to rent porta-potties or ask the DJ to ask our male guests to pee outside.

Other than that, it's just good manners to leave the toilet at least a little bit better than you found it, or notify the host when the toilet becomes unusable.

Maybe the worst toilet I've ever encountered was in France. My parents, me, and my siblings had ended up as indigent Americans (no real fault of my parents, just bad luck) living in our car in a public park. The toilet was one that attracted puking drunks and public masturbators.

Male or female, it was preferable to pee in the forest, or walk to much friendlier places to poop, giving a few coins to the scowling old woman supervising the facility.

Just before we ran out of coins to poop with, the local authorities decided they didn't like indigent Americans living in their park so they bought us gasoline and ferry tickets to England.

My dad paid them back, and then some, just as soon as he got his money from Spain... long story. (There had been some awful toilets in Spain too.)

Of course, I've seen equally awful and worse toilets in the U.S.A., additionally seasoned with a potential for violence.
