As promised, here is number 2 from the article on EmilyPost.com called Essential Manners for Men: Men’s Top Five Mistakes by Peter Post…
“Men can screw up in a lot of places in their lives and, frankly, they can probably get away with it. But here are five essentials which raise the hackles on the backs of the peoples’ necks. Guard against these issues and your life will take a turn for the better.
2. The toilet seat. Raise it to do your business and then put it back down.
Here’s why. Look at that rim the next time you go. Would you want to sit on it? Neither does she.
So you think, “Hey, why doesn’t she put it down and share the load.” Because if it’s the middle of the night or she forgets to look, she’s the one that’s sitting on it, and honestly, I wouldn’t want to have to face her afterwards. Neither do you.
It’s simply a matter of being considerate. Anyway, why let something like this potentially turn her off to you. It doesn’t make sense. Put it down.”
just how i would have to look in the middle of the night to lift it, she should have to look before sitting down, why should it be a guys resposibity. look your the one using it, if u need to put the seat down, your a big girl
I don’t think it is necessarily a matter of a woman being a “big girl” or not, I think it’s just a matter of respect for another person and personal responsibility - my husband is wonderful about putting the toilet seat down every time and I appreciate that about him so much. Thanks for the post, Keith!
