Luxury.

2 am. Who the fuck turns the light on? I know I don't. My husband and 2 sons are so well-trained (seat AND lid down, god dammit!) that if I see a seat up, I know there's a non-resident male present in the house.

Hmm. In Milwaukee, we used to refer to water fountains as "bubblers".

When a red and blue Mendel love each other very much....

This was, essentially, the reasoning that persuaded me thirty or forty years ago (with the additional factor of "2am. I'm high"....

Okay, sounds like this is a bigger issue for you than me. By the time I met my husband when he was 30 he'd already been housebroken by others, so that's never been an issue, and I maybe said half a dozen times to my boys "Put down the seat!" I save being pissed off with my husband for more significant things than that. And I have to have the house in complete dark or I can't sleep, so no night light. (Actually, he's more likely to be pissed off with me for making too much noise when I put down the toilet lid, so there you go. We're just fussy about different things, which is what usually happens in an equal partnership)

And in Rhode Island. But, apparently, nowhere else.

Imagine the shock of finding out that EVERYBODY is smarter than you and your fellow Faux blowhards!

Apologies for that sounding like derp, but I've been through enough queer activist meetings and seen enough "REAL WOMEN ONLY" signs in activist spaces - it's a thing.

As a gay thankfully I've never seen or felt the need to keep the seat down. At least with it up it is easy to see that it is clean. I don't even understand the seat-down thing.

I thought it was a couch?
