unisex bathroom

[hweight]

We've a got a unisex bathroom at work. What's the rule on leaving the toilet seat up? I mean, I'm a guy, and I don't want to have to lift it every time I need to piss; nor do I want to put it back down when I finish.

However, I've been taught that at home, it's proper to put the seat down after I'm finished.

Is it a common courtesy thing? Is it a chivalry thing? Is none of it applicable because I work for an equal-opportunity employer?

In nebraska, our women look like men so all our bathrooms are unisex!

Man can lift it with their feet. Women have to put it down by hand.

In other words, leave it up.

Unless they're handicapped, women should just as easily put it down with feet as we put it up.

Take it off entirely. Make them stand.

Skirt and high heels and you think she's going to hike one up far enough to get the seat down?

reminds me of when i lived with a chic in college.

You lived with a sheik? Nice.

[pander]

weird.

there was no vote for "remove seat entirely from bucket and replace lid."

HHAAAHAAAAHAAAAA!! that elicited a hardy chortle from cockles of my heart.

who shits and pisses in the bathroom anymore? i do all that in my OFFICE

seat up/down is kinda interesting subject. an old friend of mine (male) would always be like "put the seat down", even in my place. and i'm like "why? there ain't a woman in the house??" stupid.

Footwork is important.

Putting the seat down prior to flushing limits the number of pinkeye inducing shit particles that go airborne.

WB: If you don't put the seat down you're a genuine shiteater.

I walked in today and found my terlet seat at home up. This happens with increasing frequency since the ol' snip-snip. I thought of this thread and decided to give'er a go. Whipped out the jimmy and... oh snaps, errant lefthand miss in the bathroom trash! Splash effect!

Ladies... trust me when I say tis a mixed blessing indeed.

Just leave it up. if women piss they put the seat down and if men piss they put the seat up. it's just fair. Dental Santa Clara Dentist Hayward

She'll do what we say she will.

my old room mate, this obsessively clean passive aggressive dude from Singapore, once called a house meeting and tried to institute a rule of sit-down piss only. No joke. When no one except the one girl who lived with us held to the new rule he started leaving sticky-notes on peoples doors. Eventually he just moved out.

singaporeans are obsessed with cleanliness. chewing gum is outlawed, spitting is punishable by fine, everything that is remotely dirty is punishable by fine come to think of it...i lived there for two years.

drug trafficking, they mf hang you. ocd in the states is just the norm over there. it was an extremely clean place to live, pleasant even.

The sticky note roommmate is the worst. I had one my freshman year of college. She would sticky note the inside of the cabinets with "PLEASE CLOSE, PAYING TO A/C INSIDE CABINETS = $$$."

Combined with the fact she was an opera major, she was probably the most annoying roommate I ever had.

She moved out after I accidentally melted one of her hair extensions.

Good times.

More detail of this destruction, please.

Oh man she had these horrible red hair extensions that were made of braided plastic hair. She looked like a reggae raggedy anne. Horrible.

One day she cornered myself and another roommate in the kitchen to screech at us about something or the other. Somehow, one of her extensions was very close to a gas burner that wass on, and started to melt. I saw the whole thing went down, poked my roommate, had a good laugh while it was melting, and said nothing. This means it was my fault. The best was she didn't notice until the realization of what the smell actually was hit her...

I wonder what happened to that crazy bitch.
