Why do women complain >> about this when men don't ? > >Cuz not all men have verry good aim ;) >And really... it's quite easy to take a seat :) Well, granted, it's sometimes quite difficult to pee in a straight line... But that wasn't my quibble! If the seat was up, and I needed to sit, I'd put it down without complaint. If the seat was down, and I wanted/needed it up, then I'd put it up without complaint. Since women don't (realistically) have the option of peeing while standing up, then they need the seat down all the time. It's not difficult to put the seat down if it's up. Men have to do the same thing when the seat is left down. Personally I think it's a jealousy thing - sure women can pee standing up... but it either looks silly, or it makes a hell of a mess !! :o) Besides - men's pee leaves the body out of a very small hole, and it is travelling at up to 30 miles an hour as it exits. This makes for high pressure.
