Crescent: Believe it or not, I actually never leave the seat up. The frustration my wife encounters is that I always close the whole thing, seat and lid both. But me, I think the inside of a toilet is one of the least inviting sights in the world, so I like it to remain hidden when not in use. I also put the toilet paper on the roller. I do that at other people's flats, too. Drives me crazy for the toilet paper to be sitting on the back of the commode. As for war, disease, and pestilence, those aren't guys' faults either. Pestilence is caused by bugs, as everyone knows, and disease is caused by germs. War is caused, directly or indirectly, by men trying to impress women. Remember Helen of Troy? Modern wars are over oil... oil that is distilled into petroleum... petroleum that runs big fancy sports cars... that guys buy... to get chicks to notice them.
