Well, sheesh, everyone seems to have their own Q&A here except for us female types. Ask The Gay Guy, Ask The Muslim Guy, Ask The Alaskan Guy, Ask The Atheist Guy, Ask The Guy With The Remote Control And Milk Mustache… So. I present myself as an Authority on all things Not Guy. Go ahead, ask me anything. ---

What is so freakin’ hard about putting the toilet seat up when you’re finished? ---

Don’t be ridiculous. If we put the seat up, no one would be able to see the pretty ruffled carpet thing we bought especially for the lid. ---

Sounds fine to me. Why don’t I just save some time and _leave_ it down? 🙂 Next question: When the revolution finally comes, will you keep in mind the fact that I do windows and can diaper a baby with one hand? ---

**Czarcasm** , when the revolution comes you just remember that I don’t care if you _never_ “do windows” and I don’t have anyone in my life that needs their diaper changed. 😉 ---

So it’s o.k. with you if I leave the toilet seat down?!? That’s gonna save me a lot of time. Wait until I tell the other guys-they’re going to name a holiday after me! ---

On a slightly less comical note, **Czarcasm** , you might be interested to know that I have actually solved this problem in my house. And no, I do not force my husband to sit, or do anything unmanly like that. I have a urinal in my house. Honest. This has solved OH so many arguments. I get a clean, pretty potty with matching everything, and he gets to piss like a REAL man. ---

**LifeOnWry** YOU may have thought your last post was on a “less comical” track, but it cracked me up. Really? A urinal? In your house? What a great idea. Maybe we could put in one of those long urinal troughs so several guys could man-piss at the same time! 😃 ---

Wolfman - That big urinal is actually for bathing? I always thought the flexible hose attachment was for rinsing it down when you were done. I guess that the fact it has multiple settings should have clued me in to the fact it had another purpose… ---

Urinal, schmurinal. Everybody knows that _real_ men piss in their front yard, thus marking their territory as they have done for aeons. Why not just take the toilet seat off if it’s going to cause so much argument? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ask-the-not-a-guy/83845.md?page=2)
