Please don’t take this personally, but I have a bone to pick with you…

If you think that I’m about to say, “Please put the toilet seat down,” I’m not. I’m smart and actually capable of doing that myself… just sayin…

I live with four men, not to mention my son’s friends, who frequently sleep over, especially during the summer months. That being said, let me point out that all of you lift the cover and toilet seat during many bathroom visits.

If you’re following along thus far, let me ask you one question, “How is your vision?”

Let me answer that… Pretty damn poor.

I can not for the life of me understand why in the world you wouldn’t feel compelled to clean the rim of the toilet as well as the underside of the toilet seat for the next person.

ARE YOU BLIND, or are you just waiting for me to make it pristine for your next bathroom experience?

Unless you have been living under a rock, I’m pretty sure that you are as grossed out by your “bathroom experience” as I am.

What gives, and what is behind this power struggle?

Can we possibly call a bathroom truce?

If not, I’m planning on starting my new diet by stopping in the bathroom and lifting the toilet seat before every meal.

Check back with me in a month when I’m thin… I think I might be onto something here.

You are ALL pissing me off, no pun intended.

Note to self: Seeing that I’m raging right now… If I had to lift up the toilet seat EVERY time I went to the bathroom, you’d be able to lick it with no repercussions after the sanitizing I would willing do on your behalf. That’s just common courtesy.

I just don’t get it… and maybe I never will…

This has been a Public Service Announcement.
