when women can take responsibility for the toilet seat then they can be considered equal.
for the life of me I cannot comprehend why it is a man's fault that a woman cannot look at the seat to see whether it is up or down before she squats on it!

the neighbor's wife asked me to hang a rack of her shoes up. there must ahve been 10 to 15 pairs. When I asked her if she had too many shoes, she replied that she has more racks in another location

true equality is closing it altogether when you are done, then both parties need to arrange it before use.

hoo boigh! I have a cheapo pair of dress shoes ($20 at paylesS) and a two year old pair of sneakers (Same price, same place). I also have a huge pair of work shoes that I use when snowblowing. the ex gave them to me about eight years ago. They look like something Herman Munster would wear. I am shoe-rich.

what is inconsiderate about leaving something as you found it? What is inconsiderate is changing something AFTER you used it to suit your needs - unless it is yours (of course).

I have a confession. My dogs are instigators of all of this middle-of-the-night mayhem.

A friend of mine told me story about it being customary for a gentleman to leave the seat up when visiting someone else's home to let everyon know the seat was not wet.
I don't remember where he lived but I thought that was the funniest thing I have ever heard.
