State of constant confusion!

0 posted 2000-11-06 09:13 AM



My significant other telling me to put the toilet seat back down. I asked her if I have to put it back down when I finish why can't you leave it up when you are finished? I mean fair is fair right?

And why is it that you women always complain about you hair getting messed when we guys put the car window down? I know speaking for my other half she has enough hair spray on her head to blow up China if you struck a match to it

Just a question ....how do you all feel about this?

Every woman I know complains about sitting down on the toilet in the dark with the seat up...LOL (as if a man ever had that luxury).  They don't want to have to use the light switch the way it was intended either, I guess.  I think if the seat were meant to always be down, it wouldn't have been made with hinges to begin with... and besides, if the MAN who made the toilet knew of just how much fuss women would make of it - I'm sure he'd have been content to just continue using the nearest tree.  We all should be arguing over more appropriate things in my opinion, like which way the toilet paper comes off the roll perhaps...

I would like to go on record as saying hairspray is, without question, the most useless and irritating product yet invented by science. I would like to, but I won't.

I'm a product of the fifties and sixties. And if you're old enough to recognize the phrase "a little dab'll do ya," you'll know why I'm keeping my mouth shut.

ROFLMAO over the hairspray thing!  

Ok, now I don't mind the window down and I don't care if my hair gets messed up, unless we're going somewhere that required me much time setting or styling my hair, and that isn't often.....
What buggs me is my hair whipping me in the face or getting in my eyes....

And the toilet seat thing......fair is fair.
I fall in the toilet therefor he pees on plastic wrap! fair is fair, RIGHT? Hehe

Jeffrey - /pip/Forum6/HTML/000080.html

you may find that interesting in regards to the seat issue...(my opinion hasn't changed btw lol)

Hairspray?
My hair is long and straight

Hairspray???
Choke, splutter, HAHA...

errrr...

I'm sure it is genuinely effective for some.
I may as well put fly spray on my head.

Personally, being one of those natural kinda girls (ie - see makeup and run away) I find hair spray a bit bemusing.

A few serious questions here - do women actually LIKE the feeling of strands of hair stuck together? Or is it solely the appearance factor that counts?

All righty then... Somebody find us a hairspray alternative...

We could just keep the top down and let it fly with the wind... That's fun for sure - but - When it rains and the top has to go up, we've got no hairdo left...

Oh.. the roof leaks? ... Well then... What the heck - Throw the stupid spray away and just settle for the "au natural" windblown wet look and go spuddlin'...

Ok, I confess to having hair lacquer, in fact seeing as I'm being confessional I'll admit to having 3 cans, one in the cloakroom, one in the en-suite and one in the office but *not* for my hair but because when I see a large fat hairy spider it keeps *him* in place!!!

O.k you ask for it, In my opinion men have no aim at all, I mean it they don't know how to pee in a toilet they get everywhere except the toilet, I work in a store where it's available unfortunately to men, we definitely need men and women, everytime I go in there, there's pee all over the toilet lid and all on the floor, I guess it must be a hardship for some men to lift the lids, gawd it's terrible really, My opinion is women need their bathroom, no men allowed, as far as hair spray they are perfecting it everyday it's no longer stick together to make a bee's hive new and improved!

ROFL Ron!!

And hey Nan, you know you can always wipe with leaves. (but watch out for those poison ivy leaves) Then again you can use a dollar...but watch out those quarters can be dangerous.  

I'm like you Susan with hairspray. I use it though, cause if I don't, it all goes straight. And man that looks like hell LOL>

Hmm..I'm keeping my mouth shut on the toilet seat thingy because I don't have an opinion on that or a problem in that area.

Toilet paper over the top because its easier to tear...

I don't like my hair getting into my face while the window is down either. Its annoying. My husband is usually the one who gets more annoyed with me when I put a window down, and his hair isn't even long enough to get in his face. Figure that one out. He gets it cut pretty short (he found an older barber who uses an old fashioned razor).


Hairspray is a product that I use once in a while when I want a little volume in my hair since it is naturally straight and flat (with just a bit of wave...enough to make it flip annoyingly)Needless to say, I don't coat it on like a helmet as I used to. Not to long ago, I finally found a perfect sylist, and got my hair cut in a style that lets me brush it and go if I want, and it still has a little shape to it. It won't go in a ponytail cooperatively, but I hate those things anyway.  


geesh..anyways...Laters all!

I wouldn't mind the toilet thingy, but one night I stayed at my boyfriend's house...usually never wake up and have to pee, but that night we did some heavy drinking... so here I am I wake up and have to pee horrifically bad...walk to the bathroom didn't want to touch the light switch b/c I didnt want to deal with my eyes and the light thing...so I sit down, and what do I end up doing?? You guessed it!! I ended up somewhere I didn't care to be. ever since then, it's a new rule, when I stay the night, you put the damn seat down before we go to bed, and in the morning and through the day, do as you please with it. I can handle putting it down, just NOT in the middle of the night when I'm a bit tipsy in the dark ya know????  
so boys, be kind to the women in  your life, unelss you want to be getting out of bed to hear them absolutely livid about falling in the damn toilet because YOU forgot to put the seat down.

Hair spray, I have naturally curly hair (HATE IT!!) and when I am too lazy to straighten it, I use gel or mousse and leave it at that, but when I do straighten it, and curl the ends, my hair holds well for the simple fact it is so thick. Therefore I hate hairspray.

Nice pic Jeffrey!

Well, I laughed as I read your gripe--not all girls are that way my dear  

Yes, I am one of the few who doesn't care if the toilet seat is left up, and I use a minimal amount of spritz so I can have that natural soft feeling for my auburn locks  

Honest!

As for TP: roll from the top.

As for hairspray: I have naturally)curly hair, therefore I do not need hairspray.  It wouldn't stay in place, because it's too thick.

As for the toilet seat: It really doesn't matter to me, because I read somewhere that if you really love someone, the little things --like toilet lids-- don't matter.  I leave it down when I'm done and he leaves it up when he's done.  I never fall in the toilet because I know he's probably been the last one to use the bathroom.  So there!!
