Kind of.
I'm pregnant, so of course, I have to go the bathroom on an hourly basis. On my 1st trip to the bathroom, halfway asleep, stumbling over toys on the way there, as I entered, knowing where the seat is located, I sat down without looking. To my dismay, the toilet seat was left up. Luckily, I didn't hit any water, but I did fall a few more inches further down the bowl than I'm accustomed to.
What boggles my mind is that after 4 years of marriage, how my dear husband FORGETS to put the seat down?! How?!
When we were 1st married, since we didn't live together beforehand, I "discovered" many household habits my husband brought to the table. Neglecting to take out the trash, having 2-3 open bottles of the same condiment in the fridge, leaving Tupperware at work for days on end to name a few. But forgetting to put the toilet seat down was top on my list of habits that needed to be changed. He argued "why don't women leave the seat up for us guys?". Oh, you poor man. Do you have any idea what you just started?!
Needless to say, after 4 years of marriage, he does remember to put the seat down 98% of the time.
But last night, was not one of them.

Oh you poor thing! Feeling that cold water when you're not expecting it (in the middle of the night, no less) is the worst.
Not that it would be any better if one expected it...
OH NO no no! I didn't fall into the water!!! OMG that would suck on SO many levels - I couldn't even imagine it! Thanks for the sympathy anyhow...:-)
My man & I agreed on the honeymoon that we both had a job in the bathroom - we put all parts down on the toilet. We've only had one episode of me traveling those few extra stressful seconds.
Sorry for the relapse; here's hoping he brings you a little chocolate something for your distress :D
Isn't it funny how our butts know exactly where the toilet seat is supposed to be. It starts screaming, "Mayday! Mayday!" and tried to screech to halt before the inevitable collision with cold porcelain, or worse, toilet water. You are so lucky that you didn't hit the water.
Brian and I went through the battle of "seat up or down". He tried the same excuse that your hubby used. After a few colorful words on my part we agreed to keep both seat and lid down as a compromise. Plus, it helps that he's out numbered. Hee Hee Hee.
I feel for you. That is the worst thing, falling in there! My husband is pretty good about putting the seat down, but he has forgotten at times also. My gripe is that he apparently doesn't know exactly where the toilet is located. Know what I mean?! I swear I am cleaning the bathroom floor like every day!
:)
Stephanie: Now that was smart! Clarifying the rules from the get-go. Thanks for the moral support:-)
Monkey Toe: Yeah, I'm hoping the the same outnumbering thing happens over here! With having one daughter and a second on the way, he won't have a choice! (I hope!)
Nicolle: Hilarious - I know EXACTLY what you mean. It amazes me that there are so many issues in the toilet department. I swear if I had boys, they would be SO trained before entering the co-habitating world!
Eeeeuuwwww... at least he remembers most of the time!
I suppose...!
