  • When Manners and Consideration Collide

    Ladies, I Need Your Advice

    toilet-seat-up-downI had to pee – and once again faced the question I always face when an establishment has but one restroom for both sexes – Do I leave the seat up or not?

    Now this may not be a dilemma to many, but to me it continues to be an issue. I was raised in a military family that had a few rules. My mother’s rules often carried more severe consequences than “the colonel’s” – AND one of mom’s rules was – PUT THE TOILET SEAT DOWN!

    I have been successfully conditioned and have developed the ability to balance on one foot while dancing (because I have to pee so badly) and raising the toilet seat with the edge of my shoe. The same talent (without the dancing) serves me when lowering the seat.

    I know, many of you will say why not use some TP to raise and lower the seat? Well, you’ve seen the condition of some of those seats – would you touch them with a ten-foot pole? I rest my case and therein lies my dilemma.

    Do I lower a seat like that and obey my conditioning and manners or do I leave it up so the next 10 guys that come into pee that don’t raise the seat don’t leave it a mess for the next poor lass that has to endure the consequences of some near-sighted splash-and-dash nincompoop?

    I have been erring on the side of consideration (I think) over conditioning, but I am willing to go with the flow (so to speak). Ladies, if you will – what’s the proper course of action – other than spending the rest of my life steam cleaning restrooms?
