The Great Toilet Seat Debate

[scotthegeek]

I have only fell into toilet once as a kid. I did read the psychology of the toilet seat and its partly hardwired into the brain and most women don't know why or men either but I think it has its roots in the hunter gatherer society. The men hunt and or slobs and women prepare and rise children and are more hygienic they don't like touching a germmy seat and have to touch them self down there. There is a a video on youtube about how men and woman have different showering behavior. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qehxj...has_verified=1 Its funny but its mostly true I think.

My mother had me potty trained to always put both the seat and the lid down together before I flush. Something about how when you flush a toilet with the lid open, it's like flushing all the energy from the room as well. I think it was really just to keep the smell in and show some respect.

I also just realised my post makes me sound like I'm 5 years old.. haha

Ah well, can't be bothered changing it now.

You wouldn't know if you need to run for the plunger 'til it's too late. Yuck.
You still look, don't you? It would feel unnatural not to look at what I did.

My mother ran water in the bathtub so I'd get the idea (in case you need that tip).

Great catches, we are.

Hurray!
