Two annoying girls moved into the apartment above me.
I'm forced to hear every dumb thing they say.
These are my letters to them.

“I’m officially banning men from the apartment! He left the toilet seat up and I almost fell in.” She’s lying, I heard a splash.

too funny!!
Any time of the day is fine, but my boyfriend knows if he leaves it up just once before bed and I get up in the middle of the night, he’s going to be in trouble. :P
I’m positive that once happy hour starts the ban will be lifted, or most likely she’ll just forget.
Them “officially banning men” from their apartment is like me saying I’m gonna better sound proof my ceiling…just not gonna happen.
So, does their ban include gay men? Or do gay men leave the seat up as well?
Or going to the gym or on a wheat grass diet
Why do we have to put the seat down? If you don’t look at the seat before you sit down, that’s your fault
you don’t have to put the seat down, it’s kinda like telling woman to leave the seat UP for you, right?
but, it is much appreciated if you could leave it down when you go before bed so in the middle of the night, when we have no idea what’s going on, we don’t fall in. ;) like DONTJUDGEME said. :)
Women sit whether they are peeing or pooping. Men stand for peeing, but still sit for pooping. Statistically, the seat needs to be down more than up. That’s why.
Orrrr girls can check and put the seat down first. I know most guys check to lift the seat before they pee. I mean I leave the lid down also, so just saying check before you go… that’s the simplest thing to do. Oh, and statistically men pee more than poo, and men use the bathroom more than women so, well as you can see statistics aren’t always green and blue. You logic is flawed.

Have you ever been on a road trip with a woman? We need to pee every 15 minutes! I think some men do pee more often than some women, and vice versa. And I’m pretty sure all people, men or women, pee more than they poop. And yeah, everyone of all genders should check before they sit. I agree with you there. Also, your double post fails.
Has this officially become a pissing contest?
Why put the seat down? Actually, put the lid down, too. Otherwise, when you flush, microscopic particles of urine and fecal matter spray around the room. Know where they land? Your toothbrush. Yummy.
I keep my toothbrush in my bedroom. For fear of housemates using it. And now also the microspray of urine and feces.
I’ve been telling people that for years, no one will listen. I mean, our toilet is in its own room, away from the actual bathroom, but you’ve got to lean over the toilet to flush, so everything lands on places closer to home.
I learned that very thing on Bones last week!
Yay I learnt it on Bones too, I have been putting the lid down ever since!
How did you get that avvie? Not even Charlie has one…
There was an episode of mythbusters that they measured the bacteria on toothbrushes placed at various distances away from the toilet (including rooms away at another part of the building) They found bacteria growth happened in all cases. After that, I stopped using it as an excuse for my “both seats down” preference for the position of the toilet seat.
For some reason, women never complain about a closed toilet seat the way the complain about falling into a toilet with the seat up. I never hear “Andrew, you left the toilet seat down again and I peed all over it.”
Andrew, I’ve done that before. I was really young, but yeah it happens.
Yessss! Thank you Michelle! Close the f’g lid!
I complain when people leave the lid open. Accidents happen (especially when there are cats in the house); and i’d rather not have to fish things out of there (especially if i didn’t notice before i started doing my business in the middle of the night).
(Side note: in the middle of the night, i usually just have a seat; it’s much more relaxing, and i don’t have to worry about aiming. Though every now and then i’ve dosed off there. ;)
“If the seat is up, that means we didn’t pee on it.” -Sinbad
Ha ha. awesome! :D
I LOVE YOU CHARLIE!
More or less than Dennis Quaid? This is how I measure things.
More! You’re certainly funnier…
I love how randomly Dennis Quaid gets mentioned in between a bunch of discussions and debates about proper toilet etiquette.
I love you more than Dennis Quaid. :D
At this point, I’m surprised you don’t have a legion of fan girls stalking you, Charlie.
I wonder why guys have to do it standing. It always will make a mess. You don’t have to clean the Toilet that often when you’re sitting. and yes I’m a guy and sit down. Especially when I’m drunken!!!
That made me giggle quite a bit.
You know the way I figure it is if a guy has to pull the seat up, why shouldn’t women be able to put it down?….. like i said, that’s just me. :/

Charlie I love the site :) it always brightens my day and ever since I broke my foot Ive been reading it more and more. Although it has made me wonder if my down stairs neighbors can hear me :)
I think if we have to leave the seat down when we’re done, they should have to leave the seat up when they’re done.
Charlie, are you started a betting pool to see how long the “official” ban lasts?
The bans probably already lifted
Is this one of them just-for-a-week bans?
Hmmm… I always put the lids down. For the cat. She’s not the brightest crayon in the box, and clumsy to boot. She falls in… lemme tell ya, a soaking wet cat joining you in bed is NEVER a good thing!
I prefer people to leave the seat down or close the lid entirely. When you walk into a situation where the toilet seat is up it looks gross. It gives a distinctly ‘used’ air to the entire situation, and when I have to sit down on it after? No thanks! Especially since it’s guys who don’t live here who leave the seat up. Eww. Also, then if the toilet isn’t totally clean you can see pee splatters…OR WORSE?!
Why do men have to put the seat down. It’s this little thing called chivalry. It’s really that simple. Just ’cause we girls wear pants nowadays, doesn’t mean that men should abandon all virtues or honor. We still want a gentleman. If you want to keep a girl around and you love her, you put the seat down, that’s why.
Dear Cbarlie,
I want to live above you so badly. No because I want to have you write a blog about me, but so we can be friends!
sincerely,
Girl who wants to live above you.
I think who ever lives in the apartment should deside how the seat goes for them. in a bachalor pad it goes up… in this case its down cause they are girls.
Seat up or down doesn’t matter, just make it in the dang bowl guys. I can live with putting the seat down but, I can not deal with the mess that some leave. Is it really that hard?
honestly, i agree with KR. it depends on the majority of the household. of course, in my family women are matriarchs…….so you can see where that goes.
Hi there, v. sorry 4 OT, only I want to ask, what do you think about polish castel’s condition? In my feeling it’s tragical, so maybe we have some potentiality to do with it… What is your persuasion?
