Exactly. And in my house, I'm the one who actually scrubs the toilet and the bathtub and the shower and the sink and washes the dishes and cooks the food and does the laundry, etc. and so it seems to me that whatever male uses the toilet, could simply put the seat back down the way he found it. It's just kind of a matter of respect.
But actually it's never come up as an issue with any of the males I've ever lived with (in shared housing, etc.). I guess most of them were raised with sisters or something...because as I said, I thihk the habit is ingrained in boys who have a lot of females in their families- I was raised in a household where the ratio of females to males was 5:3- so that's just what I grew up expecting and my brothers grew up expecting to have to do.
But I don't think it should be a make or break issue- by any means- I can see both sides (and the whole lid idea- I've not only dropped keys in but have lost tooth and hair brushes that way as well).
Yup, yup, and yup.
I too have never really thought too much about the toilet seat though.
I just fix it the way I need it if it is left up..
But I get ya. Especially about the kids part..
but, I dunno about anyone elses kids... In my house, her hands are in her pants alot.
When diapers were around 24-7 she would often pull out the contents to show me what she had 'made'
At this point, if she is touching the toilet seat and that is all, Im glad.
Losing things in the toilet?
ohhhhh lord.. for a while I was Cingulars best customer.
My cell phones, being in my pockets to be kept safe from jillian, often took a bath as I stood up.. ( nuf ' said )
BUT-
in a house where it is husband, wife and kids, every single communicable disease in the world is passed between everyone all the time. Through everything else...
so whats a little piss amongst family ?? Hmmm???
