The general paradigm is that men always leave toilet seats up after doing what needed to be done. Nothing could be further from the truth!
Read some interesting views on toilet seats from a man who never leaves it up!
I know: strange subject for an article on WorldVillage, isn’t it? Some would think so, but I don’t. As long as subjects are dealt with in a serious tone or in a manner that can be beneficial for everyone, I believe it serves every purpose of this site.
Good Manners
One of the first things you discover when you amalgamate two people into one marriage (or partnership) is certainly the joining of different habits.
I have always put the seat down and the kids are also very good at remembering this. But could you imagine the annoyance of a wife trying to blame everyone else for blundering in that area?
In big cities they have discovered that rats will crawl all the way up to the fourth floor level IF they can get out of the sewage system. Imagine that if you go on a two week vacation……
Generally Presentable
Bathrooms are not only for eliminatory purposes. We shave, bathe and do all sorts of things in that room. Who would ever want to have those toilet seats up when it is, in fact, such an ugly piece of “fixed furniture” in most homes?
Loss Of Heat
I know this is not the major heat loss area, but in large buildings you may notice that some older buildings actually have water that bounces when the wind is hard. You may be loosing some heat that way.
…..Anyway, I will let you think of other good reasons why these seats should be down….. If you are another person desperate in this area, be assured you have my deepest sympathy.
