Keep the seat down when not it use, it keeps good chi from draining away. You have been warned.

The "up-seat" strategy will work until the first night when your sleepy wife/girlfriend sits on the cold porcelain rim at 3AM.

QuoteOriginally posted by: outrunQuoteOriginally posted by: Traden4AlphaThe "up-seat" strategy will work until the first night when your sleepy wife/girlfriend sits on the cold porcelain rim at 3AM....but when I forget to put it up at 3AM, I'm again in trouble... One could easily argue that she's should have been in trouble for not ensuring it's up at 3AM. But there is no symmetry in the rules, no matter what, it's always the guy that gets in trouble for not putting it up/down. How come guys ended up being the manager & getting responsibilities for getting the state of the toilet seat correct?I call it the division of geospatial control based on the differences between the average* mens' vs. womens' spatial memory structures. Women are masters of the domestic, interior, "microspace." My wife's sense of interior location and placement of objects in the home is much much better than mine. If I mislay an object in our home, the object virtually "screams" at my wife whilst I am oblivious to it. And men are masters of exterior "macrospace." My sense of exterior direction, location, and placement of objects is much much better than my wife's. I'd recommend respecting these differences and keeping the seat down.P.S. Remember: If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie.* Please don't be mad at me for making gross generalizations about men v. women. I realize that, despite some strong average differences, the dispersion is so large than the distributions overlap significantly. In other words, "your mileage may vary," "ask your doctor if this advice is right for you"

Pretty simple really: Both parties require the seat down state (I hope). Only the XY requires the seat up - should be less work for all.Just don't leave the lid down as a friend of mines wife did. He stumbled back from a party at 3 AM, and needed to talk to god on the white telephone. Just forgot the lid was down.Spent the rest of the night trying to clear it up before his wife found out.

QuoteOriginally posted by: outrunHi Cuch! Interesting new signature: whats the size difference between a regular A3 and a 'big A3"? It's changed. Earlier on it was only A4.Cuch, are you going to go the whole hog, and go for A0? We're in need of some mighty big matrices!
