<VV> Re: toilet seats, NO Corvair

[Chuck Kubin]

Hey Mark, 
  I really like the counterweight idea, but without gettting too imbedded in behavioral psychology, I have a better use for it. Make it moisture sensitive, so when some moron whizzes on the seat, the counterweight swings down, slamming their face into the bowl and giving them a good look at what they are doing.  The wet hair, face and shirt also gives them an opportunity to explain their actions to the rest of their dinner party, although I think, once this is common practice, everyone would know anyways.
  It just might help train the uuntrainable.
  Amazing to note I trained my grandson when he was 3 by showing him what adults didn't learn by 23, 33, 43...

You realize that that's the biggest "complaint" women have with their
male spouse/roommate/children? And while "putting the seat down" may be
"a matter of courtesy," it is in truth a bogus excuse. It's really
saying that "I'm not responsible for my own actions, someone else is."
Fact is, anyone sitting down on an open toilet bowl really has no one to
blame for their inattention but themselves. (Been there, done that, and
*I* was responsible!) You don't see women leaving it up to please a man,
because he uses it in BOTH positions, and there is no way to tell which
one will be needed the next time he needs it. A man, on the other hand,
KNOWS when he goes into a bathroom that odds are he's going to have to
do SOMEthing with the seat, so to him it's no problem. He's been trained
since pottytraining to handle the seat position without complaint. So
why is it even an issue?

Then there are the Neanderthals that don't put it up in men's public
restrooms to do their "stand-up" job, and baptize the seat in the
process. I've seen THAT happen more times than I can stand (no pun
intended.) I would call such idiots "animals" but that would insult BOTH
species - (G).

My solution, at the very least for men's public restrooms, is a
counterweighted toilet seat. It would automatically raise itself if the
lid wasn't down or somebody wasn't sitting on it. It would also be great
if ALL seats were built that way, so that women would get used to the
idea that they'd HAVE to do something to the seat. Once so trained, this
phony "problem" complaint would disappear.

Think about this a while before you go flaming me, though. Doesn't every
man deep down secretly feel this way?
