mens worst habits??

[mullein3]

last wednesday i was unfortunate enough to have 5 work men in my house doing jobs..so the toilet was in action all day and every single one of them left the toilet seat up!!  i was furiouse and its about time someone invented a toilet seat that snapped shut on them..ouch...!!! this has got to be the most dreadfull habit..as far as i am concerned any one else know any others??

my blokey never leaves the seat/lid up because he doesn't stand up when he goes.  His mother taught him to sit down to go to elinate spillages and sprinkles.  Very hygenic I say, and I have taught our son the same thing.  There is, quite frankly, nothing worse than standing int he kitchen making a cup of tea and hearing someone pea from a great height in the toilet above your head...

He is very capable, though de-motivated in tasks around the home, but that is generally ok, because I wouldn't want to swap for the world.  I stay at home with my 5 children and home educate most of them, but still get to walk along the beach everyday, go shopping, meet up with a friend, go to the park, watch tv sit indoors next to the fire with a book on a rainy day; he works in the city, has a 2 hours commute every morning and evening, works ridiculous hours (8.30 am to on average about 10pm) also in on call permantly and talks on a regular basis to London Traders who don't know in the slightest how to behave.  I think I have the easy life.

he does however, PICK HIS NOSE which is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING and makes me want to cut off his fingers.  I have purchased copious handkercheifs (big macho ones) and wash and iron them and put them in his drawer but the only reason he carries one is in case he has to help a damsel in distress or attend at the scene of an accident.  Honestly.  I have to say, I'd rather he left the seat up, you have to lift the lid anyway.

woofgang it is very disgusting, but I recently saw an episode of mythbusters, maybe not the most reliable sorce I know. Well they did a toothbrush experiment where they put loads of toothbrushes all over a bathroom and had control toothbrushes in the kitchen. The result was that all toothbrushes had "lovely" remains on them including those in the kitchen. If that is true what on Earth would one have to do?

I am all for putting the lid down though and luckily my boyfriend is proper trained ;)

I mean its only putting the loo seat back down and surely we buy soap for a reason?! My bloke never puts it down ... actually nor does any bloke I know!!! but its just one of those things ... relax!!

As to the blokes who know where the "magic" cleaning equipment is hats off to you!! Seriously how did you get trained?!

I am in agreement with you in many ways.blinkyblinky, but would it be OK for me to clean out my cat's dirtbox, go to the loo and point Percy at the porcelain, dry it off, lower the seat then pop round to your place and make you a nice cucumber sandwich with the crust cut off - all without washing my hands ?

All meant in good spirit !

I support your views in some ways, blinkyblinky, but how would you like me to clean out my cat's dirt box, go to the loo and point Percy at the porcelain, dry him off - oh, and put the loo seat down, then come round to your place and make you a nice cucumber sandwich ( with the crusts cut off.)  all without washing my hands ? 

All meant in good spirit - no offence.

don't be a silly mare.

a man walks into the bathroom to ****. the toilet seat is down...does he

a) lift the saet and do his business or

b) cry like a girl about how unfair life is because he has to lift a bloody toilet seat up.

stop bitching, at least they lifted the seat and didn't just **** everywhere.
