I vote with Jinx. Close the lid.

MTP, gravity is on your side.

Ali, turn the goddamn light on.

Now, where do you squeeze the toothpaste tube? Middle? Top? Bottom? : music from jeopardy :

Aliantha · 11-22-2008, 08:39 PM

Because of the number of times I have to get up these days, I prefer to leave the light off and not wake up properly. TYVM!

I don't so much mind the toilet seat being letf up. What really pisses me off, however, is the toilet seat being left down and then pissed on.

Nothing quite like getting surprised in the night by a fucking great puddle of piss all over the seat you've just plonked down onto.

BrianR · 11-23-2008, 08:49 AM

The seat is not an issue in my household. I sit all the time anymore.

Not because of love or consideration but necessity...Those of us with Dressing Rings (Prince Albert piercings) have trouble aiming and it's easier to sit to pee than to do it in the bowl AND your feet.

I squeeze from the bottom, she squeezes from the middle. I don't complain, I just adjust and push it all up again, takes a moment only and it's not worth the argument, which SHE will win anyway.

I'm sure she has a list of things that annoy her about me, anyway.

Like dragging home stray dogs. Being a pushover for a puppy and hating to do dishes. When I was single, I ate off of paper plates or the pot it was cooked in to save cleaning. And piled the dishes in the sink until I ran out, then only doing what I needed. Slovenly, yes. But I did do the washing up before I left, anyway. Moldy dirty dishes are NASTY!

Now this is completely legit. Fellas if you're going to stand up, lift the seat up beforehand or at least wipe it off when you're done.

Infidelity
Physical Aggression
Drinking/Drug Use
Crazy (although I can work with certain forms of crazy. I am a professional, after all.)

I think that might actually be it.

I don't care which end you squeeze the toothpaste from, and I'm not overly concerned about the positioning of the toilet seat ... he leaves it up, I leave it down, it's really about 50/50. Not changing out the toilet paper roll makes me crazy, but it's not deal-breaker level crazy.

SquidGirl · 11-23-2008, 10:28 AM

I don't like the seat being left up because the cats will fall in. Seriously...they will jump up to the sink and not look first and in they go. Ohhh..I hate the cupboard doors being left open. Those I do slam shut.

Actual deal breakers: Religion, treatment (verbal and physical) of myself, daughter, belongings, family interaction is a big deal. Honestly, I'm used to being single even 1.5 years into my current relationship. Even though he now is my 2 y.o.'s dad I still act like a single mom so doing all the dishes, cleaning the house, getting up every morning with Miette doesn't really bother me. I support the household, pay all the bills (since it was my house he moved into) so I keep telling myself is it that big of an issue? There are things that bug me, like his picking on the cats, picking on Miette (she is 2, he sometimes acts 1), doors being left open, but actual deal breakers and probably standard for me.

I'm borderline "urge incontinent" so when I gotta go, there is almost no warning, I don't have time to put the seat down. Guys don't have to pee standing up (ask elz or my dad), so if you have to go right when you get the urge also, you can sit down if the seat is down. I can't exactly stand up to pee if the seat is up. My dad pees sitting down because my mom asks him too, she has the same issue as me, so that eliminates accidentally leaving the seat up. You make sacrifices to accommodate the conditions of the other person. If a guy isn't willing to make that very little sacrifice that makes such a huge difference to me, then yes that is a deal breaker.

I wa pretty much just kidding there MTP. What you are describing is a very personal issue. I always leave the ring down, lid up. Its easier for me to just sit & take five and relax while I do my business. Standing up and having to deal with aiming isn't worth it for me.

morethanpretty · 11-23-2008, 01:45 PM

Thank you classic for understanding that a medical condition is way more important than convenience for the guy. Also for not passing judgment on another's needs when you've never dealt with the situation. *cough bullitt cough*
Its not just about the toilet seat. Its about the willingness of my partner to make a tiny sacrifice to accommodate a major need for me. The toilet seat would just be a sign of further issues. And yes I am more than willing to make sacrifices for my partner.

classicman · 11-23-2008, 02:07 PM

I think "consideration" for your partner is up at the top of everyone's list. If he knew that you had "special needs" and chose not to respond accordingly, then he should have been gone long before "TWO FUCKING YEARS."
What took you so long?

(a) Set up a video camera and you've got a winner in the funniest home videos competition right there.

(b) I know cats aren't that bright, but surely they'll learn after a couple of times, right?

But I think there is a fair point emerging from all this. If your partner really really wants the toilet seat left a certain way, leave it that way for them. If you don't want your partner to be happy, or aren't willing to make a few small adjustments to your lifestyle for them, you don't deserve a partner.

I wish I could PM Ali's boys and tell them to do the glad-wrap-over-the-toilet-bowl-beneath-the-seat stunt. Probably best that I can't, I guess.
