Rules Of Engagement #4

September 18, 2008 in Rules Of Engagement/Marriage with 8 Comments


Ok.  I like to think I am pretty good at doing simple things.  You know.  Cleaning up after myself. (Sometimes) and keeping my dirty laundry in an organized mess on the floor.  Even putting the seat down.  But, according to my wonderful fiance, I sometimes fail to put the toilet seat down…. Like last night.

For those of you who don’t know, Due to some circumstances and timing, I crash at Andrea’s mother’s house.  Andrea is so sweet, she sleeps on the couch, and allows me to sleep in a bed.  So, I guess last night before I went to bed I forgot to put the toilet seat down.  (Whoops)

At 4:00 am, Andrea found herself falling into (or almost falling into) a toilet.  (Whoops again)

So.  Rules of Engagement #4.

Remember to put the seat down if you want your wedding to still happen.  Apparently women don’t like falling into the toilet. (who knew?)

    yeah, I use to do that ALL THE TIME. Wifey would get upset. I kept telling her that it was just as easy for her to LOOK before squating as it was for me to put the seat down.

    but now I have a daughter that is 6. She doesn’t always look before she squats…I’ve had to rescue her a few times. :) And my son – hes 3 – never looks. So, now I have to put it down not just for the wife- but so my kids don’t drown. :)

    Just think man, in 10 years she’ll put it down herself cuz she’s tired of tellin ya. :-) Or, if you’re like me, you’ll leave it up on purpose and have the video camera set up so when she falls in you have it on tape!! Now, that’s classic!! I have like 3 of them :-) .

    Oh man. I didn’t think about kids. Crap. I found something online that was like a foot lever, and you step on it and it lowers the seat. Then I just think, that might be something else to clean… I don’t know. You would think there would be a simple solution wouldn’t you?

    I should invent.

    hrm… I don’t know. Andrea doesn’t punch too hard, but a little harder than I think I’d like to be hit…. Does your wife know you have three videos of her dropped trow sitting IN a toilet?? lol.. that’s too funny man.

    Ok, what plug-in do you have that sends the automated emails when you reply to a comment? I want! I want! :)

    yeah, she knows….i always have them playing on the big screen when she wakes up the following morning :-) . Fun for me, but I usually have to lock myself in the bathroom to prevent a good beating…lol

    So… marriage is about compromise. I guess we all know that. The toilet seat is one way to compromise. The way we do it is this: everyone, no matter what their desired toilet position, shuts the toilet completely when they leave.

    This has lots of benefits: the cat never falls in (you know our cat would), both of us have to do something so neither of us can accuse the other of toilet seat laziness, and Kiera never has an excuse for falling in the toilet (since women seem to look for these excuses).

    I would recommend giving that a try.
