Yeah, but which one would be funnier? I think the correct answer is
fairly obvious! :)

Sure, until it happens to YOU.
I used to be really bad about leaving it up.
Then, one late night after staying up all night finishing a long-assed essay
for AP English, I got up at 3:30 in the morning, went in with the lights
out, sat down, and found that my ***was suddenly dripping wet and I was
struggling to keep that from happening to the rest of me.
Care to guess how many times I've left it up since? ;-)

Perhaps it's a question of aesthetics. When I visit some of my friends'
places (all-male houses) and see the state of the porcelain bowl, I can
understand the request to drop the seat back down.

Meghan,
I'm not picking on you (and I like having the other side
represented in a discussion of such a volatile topic) but
why don't you ever put it up yourself? I always thought
the reason for wanting the seat down was to avoid having
to touch the (most likely soiled) underside. I mean, if
the sleep-induced thing were the only problem, the rule
should be that the seat goes down as the last thing before
bed (by the last user? the woman?), not that the seat should
go down. What I'm getting at is that neither party should
bear the total burden of the "touch"--if you're not willing to
raise the seat because a male might use it, it shouldn't
be expected that the male should lower it because you
might. Each "side" adjusts to the conditions that are
presented to them. (This philosophy works best on equally
balanced households sex-wise. Obviously a woman living with
many males will end up "always" finding the seat up and
that's not so balanced..)

I'd respond to this, but I have a reputation to maintain. ;)

And don't forget those occasions when you have a bad burrito. Oy. :-)
They don't HAVE to, but it certainly makes it easier. <g>

Pikachu could kick Neo's ass any day.
While I agree whole-heartedly, I must say I haven't laughed so hard while
reading this group in a long time. It's a nice change from the usual
comparitive ***-measuring.
