Goddamnit, I already did that analysis. It's right there, first on page 2 :P

Oh, I see. Sorry.

In any case, I always keep the seat down, even when no girls are home, and clean stray droplets with TP, should there be any. I suppose I'm just nice like that.

Frankly, I think a two-cheek splash-down in Lake Toilet is precisely what any idiot deserves if he's too stupid to take a quick glance before sitting down. And don't give me this "it's too hard" or "I'm in too much of a hurry" bullshit. The average driver is supposed to check his blind spot before lane-changing, with a glance that lasts for less than 1 second. If you're capable of driving an automobile, you should be able to check the damned toilet seat, no matter how much of a hurry you're in.

Consider it an important teaching experience, not a faux pas on the part of the previous user.

I gotta agree here, even when I'm drunk off my ass at 2 in the morning I can remember to put the toilet seat up so I don't piss on it by accident. Even when I have to run for the toilet with a case of diarrhea I can put the seat down before my ass goes down, even if it's 3am and I don't have my glasses on. It doesn't matter how sick, tired, or hungover I am, I can always spare the time to get the toilet seat in the right position.

Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either. :P
