janie jones June 11, 2017 Share June 11, 2017 Not that two wrongs make a right, but I think it's pretty ridiculous that the wife makes such a big deal about it that it can be used against her in the first place. 4 Link to comment

I've never understood this debate at all nor liked the implied helplessness of women who lack the capability to check and put the seat down if it's up. 10 Link to comment
Brattinella June 11, 2017 Share June 11, 2017 It is not helplessness: It is the reluctance to put a nasty, perhaps peed-on toilet seat down, with the hand that will be wiping a delicate area immediately thereafter. 5 Link to comment

You could always install one of those foot pedals that raises the seat when it's pressed and lowers it again when you take your foot away, but just kicking it up or down works too (as long as you're not wearing a loose-fitting shoe).

Medicine Crow June 12, 2017 Share June 12, 2017 Note: This only works if you have an ensuite bathroom!! When I got up at night & found the toilet seat UP, I slammed it DOWN as hard as I could. Back to bed, my husband would ask what happened & I told him the seat was up & I put it down. I only had to do it twice. LOL. 9 Link to comment

ennui June 15, 2017 Share June 15, 2017 The Most Interesting Man in the World is back. Yippee! Quote The most interesting man in the world is back - and this time, he's trading beer for tequila. In 2016, we said goodbye to Dos Equis's spokesperson, Jonathan Goldsmith, 78, (the original "most interesting man") in epic fashion by sending him off to Mars. With Goldsmith at the helm, the Heineken-owned Mexican beer company nearly tripled its business, according to USA Today. However, the company terminated his contract, citing the necessity to appeal to a "younger crowd" and the evolution of millennial drinkers as the main reasons. A year later, Astral Tequila - a product of the New York City-based wine and spirits company Davos Brands - has poached the world's most interesting man. And, as if that wasn't enough, the liquor company takes quite the dig at the beer brand and its 10-year-old campaign. In a new 17-second spot, Goldsmith looks over to a woman on his left and says, "I told you ... I don't always drink beer." 10 Link to comment

I have to confess that the first time I saw this, I giggled at the toilet seat line—maybe because my ex (even though among other things, he decided he didn't want to be employed even though he had three kids that did not have wealthy grandparents to support them) not only always put the seat down, but closed the lid as well, because in my home growing up, that's what civilized people did. But on the second and all subsequent viewings, I realized that the putter was okay but, wow, if he leaves the seat up on purpose (hoping she'll fall in the toilet??), that marriage is in trouble even if they can afford separate bathrooms for him and her. Or maybe not in that case? Maybe the dudes that created the ad are too wealthy to realize there are families in which two parents and three daughters (like ours was) are lucky if they have two bathrooms for everyone? 1 Link to comment
Gam2 June 17, 2017 Share June 17, 2017 We were a family of mom, dad, son and daughter. The one inviolate rule was the seat and lid were always put down after use no matter who used it. 9 Link to comment
configdotsys June 17, 2017 Share June 17, 2017 I love the Spectrum ad with the monsters on the train. "I'll be summoning the apocalypse. Oh, and the kids have soccer. I'm bringing the orange slices this week. It's what I do." Between that and the werewolf saying, "Just a lot of howling. You know, I like to howl. A little bit of me time." Too funny. 7 Link to comment

The one inviolate rule was the seat and lid were always put down after use no matter who used it. I don't understand anything else as a matter of routine, because I don't get leaving the lid up to begin with (and if you're going to lower the lid, of course the seat is going to go with it). But I'm not bothered by the commercial in which the husband/father laughs about the fact he occasionally does otherwise on purpose just to fuck with his family -- they seemingly leave him to do all the driving, and then completely ignore him so they can listen to whatever they want in their own heads but he's stuck with a big ball of silence for however many thousand miles. I am in no way in favor of people constantly being up each other's butts, discussing every detail of their lives, or otherwise not enjoying the freedom to spend part of a road trip in their own head. But, as presented by this commercial (in which, of course, women suck and kids are also fuckwits), they all not only leave him to do all the driving but spend their whole time as passengers engaged in solitary pursuits rather than popping up regularly to help him retain concentration on the seemingly endless highway. So good on him for occasionally fucking with them in harmless ways; the retaliation is passive-aggressive, so there are better ways, but I'm not fired up about it. 10 Link to comment
rcc June 18, 2017 Share June 18, 2017 I just saw the commercial with the dad and son and the GMC black pickup truck. The boy copied everything the dad did and he came home with a miniature GMC black truck for the boy. Apropos for Father's Day. 3 Link to comment
