Reason #1 I Love My Husband:

NEVER in the nearly 12 years we've been together have I had to remind him to close the toilet seat lid.

Qualification #1 to be my wife:

She has to look before she sits.

Beal out.

Ah, but see - I never meant to insinuate that raised toilet seats bug me because I fall in. (Which would totally suck, btw).

I actually despise them because the thought of someone flushing w/the seat open - the bacteria that flies into the air when that happens - and lands on every surface including my toothbrush - gives me some seriously gross-out heebie-jeebies.

Preface: I am not picking on you.

Body: There are a few misconceptions at work here. To wit, (1) Unless your toilet seat hermetically seals itself to the toilet bowl, plenty (though still less) of spray is escaping, (2) in modern humans living in an advanced (read: sanitary) country, few diseases are spread via pee-pee or ca-ca, (3) the few that are would probably have killed you and leveled your house by now, and at any rate, (4) you and Peter have been cohabitating for a REAL long time, so your fauna are by now well and truly mixed anyway, meaning the people facing a threat from the Evil Bacteria-Laden Toilet Water of Doom are guests. And frankly, they should be washing their hands anyway, since hands contaminated by contact with non-colony cohorts is the real problem.

Hell, I wash my hands BEFORE I use the toilet.

Conclusion:
Be sweet and love your Pete
But not for any toilet seat
Up or down it matters little
Your bathroom's still awash in piddle.

Beal out.

LOL!

You said "pee-pee," "ca-ca" and you wrote me a poem! Dude - I don't even think I got a poem from you way back when we were dating! ;-)

I'm endlessly amused!

Yeah, I understand the acutal science and the relative non-danger of flushing w/the toilet seat open, but I can't get over the squicky factor. I blame my second x-chromosome for the irrationality of it all. :-)
