Dear Doom:
Recently a lady friend stopped by our place to drop something off. She needed to use the bathroom, which was fine. But after her departure I noticed that she had left the seat up.
More recently we had a female house guest for a week, and I couldn't help noticing that she, too, consistently left the seat up.
Then just last night we went to visit a female friend who lives alone. Imagine my surprise when, walking past the bathroom, I noticed the seat up.
None of these women are slobs. They're all sophisticated ladies known for meticulous tidiness.
So. What's up? No, that's not a pun! I'm serious here.
I myself always put the seat down. In fact, I usually check every fifteen minutes to make certain it's still down (it has to do with watching "It Came from the Sewer" as a kid, okay?).
But what's up with these ladies? Is the whole boys-leave-it-up/girls-put-it-down thing an urban legend? Have we been fed a bunch of boloney all these years?
Or is it something more sinister? Are women starting to stand up for their, uh … rights? Is that what this is about?
I'm really very confused about this right now. Any insight into the phenomenon would be greatly appreciated.
