Now, I'll be the first to admit, I am guilty of not paying attention to the position of a toilet seat. And, the truth be known, I don't think it matters a hill of beans. Up, down, cover down or up, what difference does it make?

I'll admit also, when I grew up we had an outhouse and it had a couple of wooden toilet seats nailed on 'er and it worked pretty good, so perhaps I am toilet "un-refined." I had more important things to worry about in the outhouse, like what was crawling across my buns...so the seat position meant little to me back then. But, my goodness, just having a toilet seat is a symbol of being a successful person, or so I think.

The way I see it, if ya gotta go bad enough the position of the seat will be taken care of immediately, maybe with a loud bang. While it might cause a woman some distress to "assume" the seat is down in the middle of the night, I doubt it would scar one for life (We all need to remember that life is full of hazards). But, you let a man assume "the seat is up" and as soon as he finishes taking care of business I assure you, he'll hear something about it.

With the world situation the way it is today and the hight cost of living, the stress of just being alive is high enough for me not worry much about the toilet seat. If I want it up I raise it, if I want it lowered, I lower it. But, I suspect it's a man thingy, and of course I'm guilty of being that as well. Sometimes a feller jess cain't win.
