Maugan, I am coming to your defense here. But I am not going to defend Maugan, who acts like a self-centered butt.

I am going to defend Tad Pecorak, who is the really nice, polite, intelligent, unpretentious person I know personally.

I consider Maugan to be your alter ego, and maybe if people google the word "Maugan," they will understand.

If I am wrong and you think that Maugan is the REAL you, please correct me.

Thanks for the offer. Maybe we could organise a "Fun Event" on the lake.
Anyway, July 2008 is still some time away <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

This thread is beginning to sound like VHF radio. How are we supposed to get anything accomplished about toilet seats if you guys are going to use it to talk about personal social arrangements? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

I'll second this one, Mary. Tad is not really anything like Maugan in the real world. Maugan really is his alter-ego.

Ah, Mary, I get it...

not only is Pecorak rude and self-centered, he's schizophrenic. He just can't help being crass.

At my house there is an understanding, when you go to the bathroom you make sure your equipment is set up like it needs to be. You don't take your boat out without checking that everything is in order don't you? If the seat is up and you need it down then put it there, and vice versa. In 17 years neither one has fallen in nor dropped anything in the drink... wait that doesn't apply here does it? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

IF we wanted to argue about something it wouldn't be about the toilet lid!!!! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

OK Mary <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> You can come too <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I suppose we can't be sexist - Girls will have to be allowed <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

As long as she leaves the seat up, she's welcome at my house! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

That's right Mary - As long as you don't feck around with the toilet seat <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Now this post has gone full circle.

I'll bring my own.

Tim,

If I put the lid down, all of my pets would die of dehydration.

I swear, those little snotty orphans (we adopted them all from various shelters, so YES they are orphans) start to line up when they hear ANYONE go near the bathroom. One will even stick her paw under the door in an attempt to open the door whilst I am "reading"...

I change the water in their drinking dishes at least twice a day to no avail.

And I have gotten the verbal lambasting from aforementioned animals when the lid is inadvertantly left in the down position.

Same reason I don't use the blue water stuff in the bowl.

And, lastly, having a cell phone lost to the commode is bad, but USING the cell phone in the bathroom is just....well.... wrong.

That is VERY funny.
But just to be clear, for the benefit of the animals do you leave the seat up or the seat down? The animal issue could skew the data. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

What do they say if you don't FLUSH <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Probably, either "yuck" or "yum," depending. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Cat prefers seat down (extra room and their toes stay warm). Dog doesn't care.

All are female, so I'm outvoted on all angles.

I am a water waster - always flush. My wife, on the other hand, will put tissue in there once in a while (something about makeup), and the animals, whereupon finding this affront to their pedigree (do pound animals have "pedigree"?) shoot that familiar "you are one waste of a pair of pants, aren't you?" look....

Our doggie has a serious bathroom fetish, even after major lambastings from the "leader of the herd" (aka my Wife). Having spent only very short periods of time in the bathroom I'm not sure she even realizes there's water in that big white bowl.
When given the chance she blasts in to a) dive in the waste basket for treasures or b) grab the end of the roll and go running down the hall (her favorite, she loves toilet paper).

The lid is up...the door is closed.

I was looking to for a place to live during my college days and was looking to share an apartment with a guy I worked with. He was ex-military and when I went to see the place, he explained to me that he felt like the utility companies were all in a huge conspiracy...so...dishes were to be washed by hand and using only a minimal squirt of water (can't use the dishwasher), lights on only in rooms being occupied (and minimally at that), and the toilet was to be flushed only once per day. Then he showed me his excessive collection of firearms and munitions for which there was not enough storage and some were to remain to be stored in what would have been my bedroom. Needless to say, I politely left and found somewhere else to live.

So, Jake, you think the toilet should be flushed MORE than once a day?

Here you go guys--
I work in the operating room of a hospital and most of my friends are guys. Therefore I have heard it ALL and NOTHING shocks me. But I do agree it is preferable to keep the swearing to a mininum when writing.
I have 3 brothers -so as for the toliet seats everyone is on there own! I do prefer that if you pee on the seat wipe if off.
And having a well vs city water-you leave the pee and flush the rest...
