You married men have been in this situation before. How many times have you been chastised for leaving the toilet seat up? Have you ever asked yourself why it's such a big deal? I have the answer, my friends.
During the daytime, it is a frustration for your spouse to take the time to put the toilet seat back down, but the real dilemma happens at night. One of the great things about being a woman is they have the ability to use the bathroom without having to turn on a light. They just drop the drawers and back in! If that toilet seat is missing from the throne, your lady friend WILL fall in. Just after such an event, imagine the husband's surprise when he is greeted by an enraged woman who no longer looks anything like his wife.
Well, we men are not so fortunate in our potty-usage abilities. In the late hours, have you ever tried the tinkle in the dark? Of course you have......I'm sure you thought you were being the good husband by not turning on the bathroom light while your wife was sleeping. You were thinking she would appreciate your thoughtfulness by not blinding her with bright lights while she tried to sleep. You really did not do yourself any favors. Now look at the mess you have to clean up!
For those of you who do turn on a light to use the bathroom, you've experienced the blindness that follows after the light is turned out. You stub your toe on the nightstand and cry out the names of all of your children in one breath. Now, not only is your wife upset with you, but all five children have waddled out of their beds to find out what dad called them in for.
I have come up with a great idea. I just need to figure out how to design and market it.
Wouldn't it be great to have some type of a light that illuminates the bowl as you lift the toilet seat? How many marriages would this save? No more fishing in the dark! No more bright lights at night. I suppose even your wives may not be nearly as upset that the toilet seat is up, because you've solved the problem of having to buy nightlights for the house. Just leave the toilet seat up and voila! If you buy those blue colored drop-ins, you could even pretend that the light is a moonlight glow over the ocean.

Truer words are rarer spoken.
ReplyDeleteMy take is that the truly safest thing would be to have the seat up all the time. this way, everyone would know that they needed to put the seat down before "backing in", and we'd be fine. But that suggestion has never gained much ground when I've floated it out there. Hmm.
ReplyDeleteIf you would flush, "floating it out there" wouldn't be a problem.
