So, I am a tech guy and I think pretty linearly. I look for elegant answers to complex problems.
AND, I’m into relationships, too. As a matter of fact, I’ve been with the same woman for more than 18 years.
I know that people have been searching for this answer for years. And this topic has been the basis for hundreds of jokes by stand-up comics. But, I have a valid solution and I hope that everyone will take this to heart and create happiness and peace in their relationships.
I offer you the “magic bullet” to making relationships work!
It’s pretty simple.
Ready?
(Before you look below, you MUST realize that I mean this advice for BOTH sexes. Not just for men, as it is usually cast.)
Look at this diagram:

If the seat is down, close the lid over it.
If the seat is up, Put Them Both Down.
Everyone. Every Time.
Yes. You will have to open the toilet every time you need to go.
Results:
- No complaints about someone forgetting to put the seat down.
- Nobody is going to pee on the seat.
Well, someone might, but they’re so drunk that you should be happy they’re not peeing in your fridge. (Which I have a true story about, but will not share more now.) - Equality! Everyone will have to open the lid to go.
Yes. I know that this is seriously off topic for what I usually write here. BUT, this is my place to offer value in whatever way that I see fit. And I see this as just another problem I can help with!
I want to be your Get IT Started Coach!
Let’s get your website working for you. How about your blog?
Does it have your “voice” and does your social media plan work?
Do you Have a plan?You don’t have to get it perfect. You just have to Get IT Started!


First time here… Funny to read this today! I just put a note on the office bathroom to get that message across.
Thanks, Jamie!
I'd like to know what things you like so I can do more.
Cheers!

Hi Toby,
I really like it all. Nothing in specific, but i like you topics all the time. I read them each time it comes.
Keep it up.
I find your site to be very useful, lots of good information keep it up.
You know what I have always been mystified by this golden rule. Really!
It's always bugged em that it was an issue at all.
People honestly will honestly get upset about it!
And the answer is simple. Everyone put the seat and lid down. Equal work for all. No problem.
Thanks for coming back!
Cheers!

It becomes an issue if the man doesn't put the seat down and the woman gets up in the middle of the night and takes a swim. LOL Thanks for the topic to play with.
Deborah,
Oh, we know that's the crux of the issue, but if everyone played by the same rule, nobody gets hurt (or yelled at).
Thanks for coming by!
Cheers!
Toby
