Lifting up the toilet seat for women

Taxi · #1 06-03-2010, 04:27 AM

Its that time again people, another toilet thread.

I get into these arguments with my mom when i visit and sleep over frequently. I dont care if the seat stays up or down. My mom says its a question of respect, and that "Well, dont you think about me when i go to the bathroom at night half asleep and "fall" into the toilet?" Im like "mom, when i go to the toilet at night, i dont fall into the toilet cuz i check where the toilet seats at first".

Im a very practical person, i dont fold socks and towels because i thought about the amount of time ill have wasted at the end of my life doing this as a kid, and never did afterwards. So no matter how hard i try to be nice to my moms and do it, i forget it 2 times out of 3 because my mind cant grasp the logic in it.

Am i being an insensitive jerk, is there something missing in my picture that is not making me understand why this is disrespectful? To me it seems some archaic form of subconscious chivalry thing more than insensitivity on my part. I guess its just a habit she didnt adjust out of yet (men lifting up the seat) and shes pissed im making her fall in the toilet when i visit?

VERY important subject, feedback please.

It's called common sense.

Something which 97% of everquest players seems to lack.

Also humans poop, I dont like to sit on a piss infested seat.

It's called common sense towards your own mother, tardo the magnificient.

You lift the seat up to avoid pissing on it.

You lift it down again so the next person can take a shit or piss without worrying about your gross toilet habbits.

Thats practical right there buddy, forget about your stupid socks bro.

Ok let me make you a drawing, when i piss, i lift the seat up so i dont piss on the seat. And then i dont put it back down again. Is that simple enough for you? Or do you want me to break it down in 6 steps?

Ok let me make you a drawing, when you piss, you lift the seat/cover up so you dont piss on the seat. And then you put it back down so you dont have to look at old dried stinking pee and so it's pratical for the next person.

Do you want me to break it down for you in 6 steps "how to piss at your mothers house"?

wtb common sense.

LOL thats my moms argument, problem is, its not an argument! Thats like telling a kid he has to roll his socks in the morning in a clown fashion and he asks why, and you tell him "Because."
To be noted: My mom also has a boyfriend living there, so the next person might not be her, but the boyfriend. So why should he have to lift the seat up again if he needs to piss? Its a trivial matter lol but still

I think this one comes down to who owns the house...

Type of house rules...

My house, I share with another dude, so we don't drop the lid. Women are free to put it down.

If I go to my girlfriend's house or my mom's house.. I put it down, because it's their house, so I try to respect what they would want.

That's how I justify doing it.

Yea cuz i clean the table once the dinners over etc etc, so its not just cuz im lazy and dont wanna do it, i guess thats the reason i should be making an effort for XD

Its just she always put it in a technical framework, so technically i couldnt see the logic in it.
