There is this woman at work that goes around and complains when the toilet seat is left "up". There are just a couple women with a dozen are so guys that share the bathroom in our office trailor. Well the bathroom on her side was being used, and she was going in to use "ours". I told her please put the seat "up" when you are done!

Yes that has been the highpoint of my day.

I do not understand... is it not as easy to let the seat down for them as it is for us men to raise.... as I ask my wife..................
 
SWMBO went to a Catholic School for the first few years, I think there must be some mischeif in her she used to every now and again raise the toilet seats (an all girls school run by Nuns).

Switch fast forward on and in the seventies we had a Studio of Photography in this City for five years asked to photograph 6th form farewell for this same school took a pic of the Mother Superior in mufti cigarrette in hand, beer in the other, felt so bad I gave her the pics and negs. A far cry from the shaved heads and starched headgear etc.

Kind regards Peter.
 
As a teenager I had a job at a Drive-In theater concession stand and we had to keep the paper dispensers and machines operating. I was always told that us guys alway had the filthiest bathrooms in the world. Not So! The womens room had to be steam-cleaned and repainted every two weeks due to Mother Nature!!! It was unreal!! No wonder they want the toilet seats down!
 
We had a woman at work that always wanted the seat only left down. Finally a male coworker said that it looked nice with the seat and the lid down plus it helped with not being able to drop things in it. If you're not bright enough to figure out what you need to pick up or put down maybe you should stick to the woods. She didn't complain much after that.
 
My wife used to pull that on me. I told her if you put the seat up when you're done...I'll put it down. No one does either anymore!!!:biggrin::rolleyes:
 
One time I asked a lady in my office: "Had you rather us forget to put the seat down, or forget to raise it in the first place?"

She never complained again.

I can relate to this... I worked in a movie house as a teen also, part of my job was to clean the toilets at the end of the night... The "women's" was covered in lip stick, and.... and.... and.... the "men's" just didnt have any paint on the walls from about waist high to the floor... don't know what was with that, but suspect it was from too much "white lightening" flushed out of young systems... we were in a very small town in east Texas and not much to do on weekends... plus it was a "dry" town. I usually just brought in a hose and just hosed them down from top to bottom.

One strange thing about these toilets... there was no lavatory... you couldn't wash your hands afterwards... nothing in them but a single toilet... I think the theater was built in the '30's.... it was segregated(I was a teen back during the '50's before integration) and only had a single unisex toilet for the balcony where the blacks sat... it was by far cleaner than on the white side.
 
Don't have that rule in our house. I've never understood what the fuss was about, it doesn't take much to move the seat.

If I'm at someone elses house I always leave the seat as I found it, just in case.:smile:
 
I've never understood this drama. It seems to me that unless you have dogs or small children in the house, that the natural state of the seat should be up. An up seat never gets accidentally soiled. Also, if the standard position is up, then everyone will quickly learn to lower it when sitting. Having the default as 'down', just begs problems.

Strangely, I've never attempted to convince my wife of this. The acceptable state of our toilets is 'lid closed'. This is a good compromise in that everyone needs to adjust the seat accordingly no matter what business that are performing.
 
I have a wife, a 3 year old (girl), and a 7 year old (girl). So you know where the standard position is of our seat.
