For a long time men and women have argued about if the toilet seat should be up or should be down. Men
leave the bottom seat up and women fall in. Women leave the seat down and men have to lift it up before they use the restroom and then put it back down to ward off the wrath of the woman with the wet behind. For me, I’ve found that this is a particularly hot topic, not because Bryan doesn’t put the toilet seat down when he is finished, but because other people when they visit my house don’t put it back down the way it was when they found it. You see, Bryan and I have come to an agreement, that if he has to put the toilet seat down, then I have to put the toilet seat down as well (and besides that, who really needs to walk into a bathroom and see the inside of your toilet). So anytime you come into our house, you will find all of the lids on all of the toilets in our house in the down position. Not until just recently did I discover that it bothered me when people don’t put it back down, but it does (remember that next time you come to our house ;) ).
Anyway. The moral of the story is, if everyone puts all the seats of the toilet down then the great debate will be ended and there will be more peace in the world.
And by the way: I thought this picture of the toilet was so funny. You can find more here. People are so creative sometimes.
We, too, are “always put the seat down” people. So if I ever visit your house, don’t worry! I think I heard somewhere that if you don’t put the seat down then the germs can fly out the toilet onto your toothbrush when you flush. That information alone should be enough to convert all you toilet seat leaver uppers.
Like Deanne and you we try keep the toilet lid down when not in use. Seth is so funny he will hold the lid and seat just high enough to go than drop it when he done. I’m not sure why but we have guess taught him well to put the lid and seat down when done. Now if we can only teach him to REMEMBER to flush it would be nice…(note it’s only once or twice he’ll forget but still it’s not fun to find that when you go in to use the bathroom.)
Katie! I just found your blog (thank you facebook) and I have to say this is the greatest post I could see first. :)
We had a discussion about toilet seats in Sunday School (a marrage and family relations class) and it seems to be an incredibly hot topic. Someone else in our ward bore their testimony of putting both lid and seat down too. They say it saved their marriage. :)
For a guy’s point of view, women should put it up after each use.
or better buy a urinal. it should not cost that much. right?
