Haven't had time to read through all of the posts yet, but I need to vent!
We have two bathrooms in our house. Kids are gone, so works well - one for each of us ;)
The one that is "mine" is off of the kitchen/family room. DH sometimes uses it if closer. Okay, I can handle that. But he puts the darned lid down every single time, and has only started that in the last year. I HATE it. We never put them down before, not when the kids were tiny (I watched them, so nobody ever got to play in it or be in danger), cat doesn't drink out of it.
He does not put the one in "his" bathroom down. Just mine. I've asked him not to, I've made him go back and put it up, I've slammed it up myself... Why does he do this when I am at a point in my life when my bladder is a little, um, weak? Getting in there can be a real emergency sometimes, having to bend over and put the lid up wastes a valuable nanosecond - not to mention the bending...
Sorry, it really PISSES me off (pun intended).
