Every so often one must address the more serious issues in life. And by pure chance this subject came up during a conversation at work today, so, being as social as I am, I'm sharing the debate with y's all...
Have you ever said or heard this sentence?
"Put down the toilet rim once you're finished."
As if putting the toilet rim down is going to cover the splashings on the floor beside the toilet anyways?? What is it all about?
And why should men put the toilet rim down? Why shouldn't women put it UP after they're finished???
See. It's a never ending loop of a debate.
Well, some woman at work (it's always a woman...) thinks men should go one step further...and sit down whilst they're having a pee.
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??? My initial response was: "Are you on drugs? Can I have some?"
But...
She meant it!
She went on to explain that her husband ALWAYS sits whilst having a pee.
I don't believe it for one minute! I bet he just says he does. It's surely unmanly to sit having a pee? I mean, even dogs lift their bloody legs. It's what makes us better than women. We can pee in a forest without dribbling down our legs (most of the time).
Obviously I put up a staunch argument for peeing standing up. It went along the lines of: "If we didn't splash the floor, you wouldn't have enough cleaning to do and you'd get bored."
Her reaction was one of defiance. Faked defiance, I'm sure.
How chained up must you be to sit down to have a pee? I mean, does this woman have nude pictures of her husband in comprimising positions or something as leverage?
I would never take it. I told her so. I told her: "I'd never take it. I'd never sit down to have a pee."
Do you know what she said?
"You, Mark, are an animal."
pfffffft way-hey whatever.
I'd rather be an animal than pussy-whipped.
You know, I'm all for woman's lib and all that.
BUT THERE ARE LIMITS!
SOME LINES SHOULD NOT BE CROSSED!!!
And getting a man to sit down to pee is one of them. Hell, I'd rather have my nuts removed with rusty pliers than sit down to do what we were MADE to do standing up!!!
A little respect should be shown!
G'd Damnit.

Usually I can wait for the soldier to be "at ease" before heading to relieve myself but more often than not, I must perform a little forceful bending and contorting to properly aim my (usually wayward) stream. To have to do this sitting down would be, in my mind, an unbearable inconvenience.

If you sit down with morning wood to pee , it's pointed up and out , not down , and you're going to hose down everything . It just doesn't work . And it's gross to have the top of your knob trying to wedge inbetween the seat and the porcelin where all the yuck and shed curlies are .
If women don't want "the porcelin scream" , then they should look first , and put the seat up before sitting . If they don't like that then don't bitch when we piss in the sink .
Well, I have to say something here...
Unfortunately MEN are usually pretty naive about the problems they cause when they take a leak. Yeah, you see MEN don't realy give a hoot about the fact that "it SPLATTERS all over - including the floor". 🙁
I myself was unaware of these problems until I started working with a female engineer. She explained to me that "all the males in her house sit down to pee!" Dang! I thought this was crazy! But after her telling me the why's and how's I saw her point.
So what's my official opinion? Guys need to clean up after themselves... period.

I have embarrassment by proxy now, because of you.
