Toilet Seat Rule - Bathroom Rage

I saw the toilet seat rule referenced several times in the "What should a guy never say to a woman?" thread. I came to the following conclusion after making a subsequent trip to the men's room.

Guys are so annoyed about their wife or girlfriend nagging about their misuse of the toilet seat that they purposely pee on them in public restrooms. I can not come up with any other explanation for constantly seeing so many yellow toilet seats. A toilet seat doesn't get completely covered by an inadvertent miss. :sick:

Seriously guys, don't take the abuse you get at home out on other men. Behavior like that is grounds for having your man card revoked! :explode:

    Seriously makes me glad I am a woman and don't have to frequent the mens restroom, you will have to pratice the hover, don't think there is a lady out there that can't!

    Women's bathrooms aren't much better. Also, I don't see the big deal about the toilet seat. I don't have a problem putting it down myself or lifting it back up for the guy. There are more important things to discuss with the man.

    I so agree!!! This argument is so petty & a waste of time.

    It always made me and the other ladies at my last work place laugh, all the blokes moaned about the state of the mens bathroom - the admin ladies even had to put signs up asking that people left the toilets in a state they'd like to find them in (and to make the men feel too bad, the signs had to go up in the ladies too!) This is a retorical question - but seriously how can they make them such a state during the course of a working day???

    There are much worse things you could be finding in the stall than a yellow seat, trust me. Ladies' rooms are the WORST.

    Not that I frequent men's restrooms, but plenty of women enjoy pissing all over the seats because they're so flipping afraid to get cooties off the toilet seat.

    Part of the problem with ladies rooms is the little boys who like to pee everywhere but in the bowl...I have to believe that's the reason because the other possibilities are just too gross to fathom...

    It's the "hover" problem... we can't aim while we hover and most of us won't sit unless we're visiting friends/family.

    Toilet seats are nothing, I'd rather just put it down versus finding fresh floaters from lazy flushers. >:(

    I dated a guy once who's mother could PEE standing up. She used her finger to aim. She wanted to teach me. It was quite possibly one of the most bizarre experiences of my life.


    Note: I do not and cannot pee standing up.

    Exactly! I remember high school. And I know those girls didn't leave used products on the back of the toilet at home. (Although my favorite was the positive pregnancy test on the toilet at the grocery store. Apparently they couldn't wait to get home for that result!)

    Hover? Never done it. I always like when the people line the seat with TP then LEAVE IT THERE! If you can't put your *kitten* where mine has been, why do you think I would want to clean up TP where your *kitten* has been?

    I do it to let the others know the Alpha was there.

    LOL yes "hover" as in... I'm going to squat here and hover and hope that I pee in the hole and not on the seat because it doesn't look like this toilet's been cleaned since 1967. :sick:

    As if womans restrooms are better?? Women hover and miss and then leave it for the next. Been in plenty of restrooms to have a seat covered in pee.

    Fact is there is just some very inconsiderate pee'rs out there. LOL

    I worked in a grocery store for several years checking the cleanliness of our bathrooms was one of my tasks. Women's rooms are just as funky.

    I agree. And don't get me started about walking into a public bathroom and seeing poop in the toilet because some germaphobe was too afraid to flush it!

    In my younger days, I worked in food service and occasionally had to clean the public restrooms. I was beyond stunned to discover what complete and total pigs women could be. Sweet Jesus, is that what you do in your bathroom at home? And if not, what makes you think it's ok to do it in a public restroom?!?

    Here's what I never understood about the "hoverers" ... why can't you just LIFT THE SEAT if you're going to hover? Bigger target to "aim" for, and the next poor sap that chooses to use the seat doesn't have to clean up your mess.

    Ok, rant over.

    Lets just say our women's bathrooms in our building at college (mainly grad students, therefore mostly mixed foreigners) had to have signs reminding folks not to stand on the toilets bowl.

    For some reason, it was only a problem in the women's restrooms. Footprints were often visible on their seats.

    I had female labmates is how i know.

    I agree about women's bathrooms.

    As for the seat, it doesn't bother me during the day. However, at night, in the dark that seat better be down!
  • I recently was at a public restroom with several urinals, including some that were lower to the ground for kids or smaller people. As I am doing my business, a guy at the next urinal says "sure must have been a really tall guy before me." The top of the short urinal was completely covered with urine.

    It was at an event and I was in that restroom earlier that day. I responded letting him know it was there all day.

    Plain and simple fact is that people suck!

    :laugh: Long ago (years and years) I started completely closing the toilet lid, not just raising and lowering the seat. Based on my theory of "If we have to lift the seat you should lift something too". No more arguing about leaving the seat up. The only people this seems to bother are the same people that would complain about the seat being up...people who don't look before they sit!

    I like to keep mine closed because my daughter's cat think's it's great fun. And I got tired of the pulmber looking at me funny any time he had to pull cat toys out of the drain.

    Not really a valid argument. I leave the light off at night to not wake him up. So, he can choose--put the seat down or get woken up by the light.

    Women can be bad with peeing on the seat too, trust me. So, instead of the back of my legs now touching where the back of someone else's legs were, the back of my legs will touch your pee. Gross! Squatters, at least wipe it off after! Sometimes ignorance is bliss, seriously!

    I grew up in a house of 6 guys and 2 gals. We were the minority....we got cussed out when we left the seat down. You get used to checking before sitting.

    Eww @ the ladies who sprinkle when they hover. If you cant aim then clearly you need to work on your squats and get more stable. Why not just wipe the seat if you know you pissed all over it too? Gross, I could only imagine what their homes look like.

    I grew up with 5 boys and just my mom but strangely enough they were all raised with manners and remember to put the seat down. They also remember to wash their hands too.
