Years ago I worked in a small office with one other guy and 6 women and one toilet. Of course he and I got the usual grief about leaving the toilet seat up, from the women. So he and I decided to put the seat down every time.....and the lid! Of course there were complaints about this also. We pointed out that we thought that this was more than fair, because everybody had to lift up something to use the toilet, and furthermore we men had to lift both the seat and the lid, whereas the women only had to lift the lid. We also pointed out, that if they were in a big hurry (as they sometimes were), and failed to look before they sat, this eliminated the possibility of plunging their backsides halfway down the cold and wet confines of the toilet proper. They would merely plop down on the lid and little harm would result(provided, of course, they had reasonable bladder control.../ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif). Well, it worked, especially after we complained a few times about the women leaving the lid up. I still do this to this day and haven't had a woman complain about leaving the seat up for many years.
