Why do women get upset...........?

Question

when a man leaves the toilet seat up?
Why can`t they put it down theirself.
Men have to lift it up when they urinate, and they do not get upset about that! I usually do put it back down as a matter of courtesy, but woman shouldn`t harp about it all the time! If women want equal rights, then they should also have equal responsibility!

Answer 1

Funny I have never complained about this and sometimes my husband does leave the seat up...

Answer 2

you are right. I haven't had that problem because i can't remember ever sharing a bathroom with a guy but no one says the default position of the toilet seat is down. I think that men should wipe the brim if they pee on it though otherwise, lift it up if you want to use it or put it down when you want to use it because men can also complain that we always keep the toilet seat down and they will be right

Alot of the answers why it should be kept down go like this: I fall into the toilet, it's gross, you don't clean it etc. Here's the solution, pay attention, if you are sleep walking, wake up. It's not someone else's job to child proof the toilet for you because you are not a child. Next, the guy should clean the bathroom too. I would not live in a house with any body, man or woman, and have the monoploy on cleaning the bathroom. If that's how it has to be then i will have to have my own private bathroom but i will not be the sole cleaner of ANY shared bathroom. Not gonna happen

Answer 3

I used to get mad too, but I've learned to pick my battles. Some things just aren't worth getting mad about. I took the mentality that if it takes a man 2 seconds to put the seat UP when he has to pee, then I can take that same amt. of time and put it DOWN when I have to go. I don't like touching it, but I also make sure that when I clean, I sanatize underneath the seat. Tell the wife/girlfriend to get over it! LOL

Answer 4

Okay,
Ladies let's all add this to our "Whine" list.
This is right up there with,
when the guys get a simple little cold
&
they know that THEY have the worse
whatever known to man.
I only have one question,
it is what I always asked my hubby
and my sons:
When you got into the bathroom,
was the seat UP or DOWN?
PLEASE RETURN IT
TO THE POSITION THAT IT WAS IN
WHEN YOU CAME IN!
If you want your tools returned to you,
the same way, when we borrowed
them...Hmmmm?
Then put the seat back how
you found it!

Whenever we would have problems,
we would just get their tools
and hide them.
I felt like it was an even exchange.
You cannot work on a motorcycle,
without tools!

Answer 5

I don't get mad. I just put it back down when it's up. If the toilet seats up, then I don't have to worry about sitting on pee on the seat when I put it back down. But I don't know why women get upset. That's one of the strange things women get upset about, maybe someone else knows why.

Answer 6

The "getting angry" over the toilet seat depends on where I'm at... If friends come over to my house, than I expect them to put the seat back down. They're in my domain and they have to respect my rules. BTW, I also expect the lid to be put down since that's the most sanitary thing to do.
However, if I go to a friends house and they leave their toilet seat up, then I raise it back up when I'm done, because it's their domain. It's an issue of respecting other people and their territory.
When I live with a man, the toilet seat stays down. I urinate on the average of once an hour due to an abnormally small bladder. The average person only needs to go once every three or four hours...therefore, if the seat stays up than I have to put it down 3 or 4 times as often as the average man would have to put it up.
Making compromises for your significant other is what a relationship is all about. It doesn't belittle you, or make you less of who "you" are. It's about showing another person you care about them and respect them as people. It's time to let it go.

Answer 7

What does the toilet seat have to do with equal rights?

Anyway, here's a compromise: Put the seat AND the lid down. That way, she has to put the lid down when she's done, too. Fair enough, right? And it looks better, who wants to look at those pee stains all the time?

OR, piss in the sink as Jackal suggested. Much less trouble all around.

Answer 8

my hubby leaves it up almost every time, and once, only once, when he first moved in did i fall in. i was mad....
but after some time of living together, he never complained about the fact that i had all my girl stuff everywhere.
so in turn i did not complain about the toilet seat..

until now, we have a two yr old girl who has discovered the water in the toilet, and the it flushes....

so now as a house rule, it gets shut....and the bathroom door is shut too..

Answer 9

I asked my wife this once, and here's the answer I got:

"I'm deep asleep...the baby starts to cry. You have to leave early for work, so I go get her. No problem. I get her calmed down, and put her back to bed. I have to go to the bathroom before I go back to bed. I'm basically sleep walking at this point, ready to go back to sleep, don't look, and all of a sudden I've "fallen in". Same scenerio in reverse...you do the baby thing, the seat isn't up for you...all that happens is you make a mess and go back to bed".

...not that I agree with any of this mind you, but it's a womans logic!

Answer 10

i've got under no circumstances understood this delusion, or the place on the earth it originated from the two. I have no clue what "emotionally dishonest" is meant to imply!! It feels like a nonsense to me. My husband is maximum welcome to have acquaintances, and that i do now not think of it could be lots of a friendship if there wasn't an emotional connection there! I purely do now not regard that as dishonest. i could be notably disenchanted if he bodily cheated although. this is the only style of dishonest i actually have confidence in. i could flow away him over that.
