Leaving the toilet seat up is my #1 pet peeve.

This is so overrated as a pet peeve.

So put the darn seat DOWN!

We've been married for nearly 25 years and I do not let this bother me.

I believe adamantly in leaving the seat up. How else is the poor dog going to get a drink?

I hope you don't use those in-toilet refresheners! Remember the movie Uncle Buck and the dog discoloring the lawn?

"everyone close BOTH the seat and the lid, and all are equally inconvenienced."

Wow! What a concept! I think you win.

I always leave it down. Unfortunately I usally pee all over it but that is what the little woman wanted...

You're from New Jersey and you're worried about the quality of my dog's drinking water? ROFL!

I never did understand women's gripe about the seat. Putting the seat down only takes a second regardless if its by the guy that last used the toilet or the next women to use it.

Lighten up! Having some good-natured bantering between the sexes can be fun.

Some of us have learned to check before we go. (Did you know that a fluffy lid cover can be very, very absorbent?)

If guys fully understood how many brownie points they could gain by always sitting down to pee, they'd change.

But for the middle of the night problem, if both partners leave the top up and the seat down, it makes for a happy compromise. Assuming the guy doesn't insist on standing to pee, that is.

That's how we settled the issue in my house. It was three against one, so she learned to live with the seat up.

This is why there's a sink in the twylet too?

This takes me back. I remember having many a 'discussion' w/my late husband, when we were first married, as to why in the name of all that's holy, couldn't he put the towels back on the towel bar? Makes me smile now, but I wasn't smiling then.

I guess my pet peeve now is when my son takes out the trash and forgets to put in a new liner in the trash can. God help him if I'm cooking and turn around w/a handful of glop and can't put it in the trash can. I'm ashamed to say I have had Mommie Dearest moments over this. If you do the job, do it all the way. That's all I ask.

That's funny; leaving it down is mine.

Cringe-inducing endearments such as "babykins" can also cause an adverse reaction. When repeated, a couple can reach snapping point.

That's my flashpoint. My wife learned long ago to just call me by my name. In exchange, I agreed to never come to bed with dirty socks. That's her pet peeve.

nose-picking, burping and tatty clothes in men

In MEN?!! My drive home will often put me at a busy intersection with the sun at my back, and there must be something about the sun in the eyes that makes people think no one else can see them. The number of women I see mining for gold is equal to the number of men caught up to their knuckles.

"Just as men must confirm the configuration of the loo, so should women."

It's a plot by the women so they never have to touch the seat.
