Just for the record, I leave toilet seats in the position I found them in after I’ve used them and this is intended to be humorous.
One of the most common complaints women have about men is that we leave the toilet seats up which when you think about it is more than a little ridiculous. After all it takes perhaps 5 seconds to put the seat down, which is hardly enough work to complain about is it ?
The funny thing is when men gather in secretive enclaves to complain about women (which we have to do to avoid being accused of sexism), nobody ever complains about women leaving the toilet seat down. Why is that ? After all, men are hardly any less ridiculous than women are, and putting the toilet seat up is just as much work as putting it down.
I guess this is one of life’s great unanswerable questions.
Of course if you were to do an efficiency study of how much work in a mixed household results from moving the toilet seat, you will probably find that less work results from leaving the seat up than leaving it down. Of course then all the work will be done by women, which may be why they complain about the seat being left up.
