Things that annoy me
Whilst I am in blogging mode, I thought I would rant about something that is dear to every man's heart. The toilet seat. For some reason women-folk seem to think that there are some kind of rules surrounding this piece of apparatus. I wish to point out that there are no rules, it's first in first served in reference to seat positioning. What I really mean to say is that the seat does not have to go back down after a man is finished. It can stay up and the next person who wants it down, can put it down. One thing that really annoys me is when the seat does not stay up on it's own accord, it continuously falls back down. I believe this act was constructed by selfish female 'handymen' as a form of compulsory defiance. The picture to the left illustrates one such offending dunny found in The Angel Inn, Lymington. Basically this setup forces the man into some kind of weird balancing act of using his knee to hold the seat up whilst trying to take a slash, or it forces him to take the seated pissing position. I can excuse this insane situation when I encounter it in a hotel room, but I know a few guys that live in houses where this same situation is present in their bathrooms. This tells me all I need to know about these guys -they have no power over the females they live with. Any self respecting man would have devised some way to fix this very ordinary situation, the weak are the ones who just put up with it. I know I am not alone with my feelings on this situation. Those who can empathise, please tell me your stories or any that you have heard of.Labels: Things that annoy me, toilet

The situation of the toilet seat that won't stay up is completely unacceptable. As you rightly point out a house where the man cannot fix the situation surely means the man is incapable of fixing a simple engineering problem. That probably means he should sit down anyway.
Haha, great comment Dave!
The worst thing is when you've started going and it falls back down, that causes all kinds of problems!!
This situation that mark refered to happened to me in the in-laws house last week. Nightmare...
