Do you put the seat down?

How about cap the toothpaste?

Im my marriage, I put the seat down.

I'm the messy one, so I can't complain too much.

My wife always forgets to cap the toothpaste.

Drives me bananas.

Remember this, a little courtesy goes a L O N G way torwards keeping her happy. IF she is unhappy, then you are unhappy, if she is unhappy long enough, then you will be unhappy with only half your stuff, and about 1/3 less pay. ;)

I always put the seat down. As for toothpaste. I have my own tube that I keep in my dresser. My wife and kids never put the cap on and it is easier than getting annoyed.

Courtesy is the easiest thing to show. It has helped us get through 14 years and not kill each other. Of course there are things that bother us about each other (kids included) but we try not to sweat the small stuff.

And as always this is just MHO.

I put the seat down simply because it looks better. If she wants to believe I do it for her, fine. She makes way more money than I do, so whatever she says goes. LOL :)

I've already decided that when/if I have a house built that I'm going to have a urinal installed in the bathroom. It'll be a man's bathroom, one to make Tim Taylor proud.

I never put the seat down. Whenever a woman complains that men should leave the seat down - I ask why don't they leave it up for us? Their excuse is that they don't wanna have to look before sitting - thus avoiding a messy situation. My question is this: Who doesn't look before sitting!? :Q

In one hand: putting the seat down.

In the other hand: endless nagging.

Self-preservation dictates that you put the seat down or go insane. ;):p

BTW, I have been divorced for 6 years and still put the seat down (I always did it because I'm a nice guy). Anyway, I also open doors to ladies and get insulted for it sometimes.

For a funny prank to do to your wife late at night, replace the bathroom lightbulb with a burnt one and spread Saran Wrap under the seat. Works every time. :p

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil. :)

I think it's unfair to have to put the seat down and have my wife do nothing, so I put the seat and lid down.
That way we both have to lift the seat and lid up, or in her case just the lid. Equality. ;)

I always leave the seat down, otherwise my cat will drink outta the toilet (damn cat). I've learned to live with a messy woman, my sister and I have shared a bathroom my entire life. She's a pain in the ass, never cleans up her stuff and takes up 3/4 of the counter, but she's in college so I don't really care anymore.

In my household, there are three females (my mom and two sisters), and only two males (my dad and I). So, my dad and I put the seat down because there are more people in the house who use it with it down. If it was the other way (more guys in the house), then it might go differently. After all, why don't they leave the seat up for us?;)

And as for the toothpaste, everybody in my family puts the cap on. I never realized that people didn't do this.

genocide asked, &quot;I never put the seat down. ... My question is this: Who doesn't look before sitting!?&quot;

Besides us peoples? At least two of our cats.

Despite landing in it more than once (because they practice the &quot;ready, fire, aim!&quot; mode of jumping), these felines still get completely shocked when they end up wet.

One of them is getting better at midair turns, though - the last two times someone left the lid up, she managed to do a 90-degree &quot;flip&quot; and only got her tail and one back paw wet. Of course, she still walks around looking thoroughly indignant.

(You thought it was bad enough getting the cold shoulder from your wife/gf/so after you left the seat up - try sitting down to use it while being glared at by a wet cat...)

Leave the seat however I please, although we have 3 1/2 baths, so find one down should not too hard.

We have separate vanities and separate toothpaste tubes, so no problem.

If she complains, I tell her to shut the fvck up, get her shoes off and get busy making my dinner. At which point she usually clocks me pretty good on the arm and we have a good laugh.
