Key Largo, FL & Put-in-Bay, OH... | I've never understood that - I mean, if I can check that the seat is down before I need it, why can't women?
I'm totally with you, Jake. It's definitely an equality thing. Like when a guy gets up in the middle of the night with diarrhea and sits down and his butt ends up in the water because he left the seat up and expected his SO to have put the seat down...The seat situation works both ways. I think I feel a song coming on. | | | Re: What's the deal with the F word?

Straight Outta Hell | Look at it this way:
For the most part, four things get done on the potty: Women whiz, they crap, men whiz, they crap. 3/4 of those things need the seat down. Ergo, seat down is the majority of what gets done on the potty.
FWIW, my house sees regular visitation by sailors (how about that one... ;-). It has been my observation that the VERY BEST (and one in particular is literally the very best, he designed BOUDICCA's sails) sailors that have crashed at my house put down the seat (and make the bed up too!) So in this discussion does indeed relate to multihull sailing, and a standard worth aspiring to.
BTW,
Pecorak: a lack of manners on your part is absolutely no surprise to me. It is my most sincere wish that I never ever have the mispleasure to meet you.
This sig would be something witty, but the censors are against that.

Sebring, Florida. | So I guess 3 out of 4 times we need it down, I never thought about it that way. My Mom taught me to put the seat (and the lid) down after every use. That way you won't accidently drop something into it, like a cell phone... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Key Largo, FL & Put-in-Bay, OH... | Can anyone else see the irony of Mary's argument, some words are fine, others are not!!! I'm sure the religious ppl reading this forum will be offended by your blasphemy...
IT'S ALL ABOUT CONTEXT!!!
PS. I'm not offended by any words, unless someone means to harm or offend me, in which case it's the actions I get offended by, not the words! Learn the difference. I don't think it is blasphemous to call upon God or Jesus if my boat is sinking. If I weren't religious, what would be the point? And I'm not offended by any words, either. There are some words I just don't like -- phlegm, for instance. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> | | | Re: What's the deal with the F word?

Key Largo, FL & Put-in-Bay, OH... | Okay, about the toilet seat. It is not just a matter of who needs the seat down the most frequently. There is also the matter of who spends the most time in the bathroom with the seat down. In order to handicap this properly and decide who is responsible for the seat being up or down, we need data on TIME the seat is used as well as FREQUENCY used.
A log-in/log-out chart on the wall above the toilet might be appropriate, including a check for "seat up" or "seat down."
Without good data, we are never going to solve this age-old argument between men and women. | | |
