learn how to operate a toilet seat! You don't hear men bitching and moaning because they have to raise the toilet seat.

Good response, Prudie.

Amen. Do you think we like having to touch it to put it down any more than you have to touch it to pull it up? I thought you were to be treated as equals now?

Fine for work, but have you ever gotten up in the middle of the night to pee, only to find yourself sitting in the toilet bowl because someone left the seat up?

Anyway, how about you sit down and pee?

Toilet seat up or down isn't really the issue the LW thinks. By leaving nasty dirty clothes laying around, the coworker is creating an unsafe environment: he's creating a hostile work environment. Take that to your HR department. Or if she has to file a workmens comp claim based on the weird fungus that she can only have caught from funky socks, co-worker will have to clean up fast.

Why don't you look where you are sitting (when naked) no matter what time it is? I assure you when I go in the middle of the night I don't just aim somewhere on the bathroom floor...I locate the bowl and everything.

We don't look, because (aim not being an issue) we don't turn the light on. I have a hard enough time getting back to sleep.

Well then there's your sensible non-sexist solution....turn the light on and have a look.....or install a night light....christ the reflection from the moonlight is bright enough to tell if the seat is up or not.....

How about you stand up in the tub and pee?

And men don't?

You're free to sit- I guarantee you'll find it easier to get back to sleep. Most of the time I don't even open my eyes.

Then you deserve to sit on a sticky pube encrusted raised seat every once in a while.

Not an issue- I live alone. But thanks for the kind thought.

Jamming the junk into position will wake you up at least as much as throwing on the light.

I am guy. I do sit down to pee at night. I turn the light on in the bathroom, take a look, then turn the light out and sit down.
