Bob: Gotta go to the restroom. Joe: Just behave yourself, Bob. Bob: What?...Oh...geez, I haven't pulled that prank since we were kids, Joe. Hmm... Hello...? Hello-o-o... Ah, good. No one is in here. "Ka-thunk ka-thunk ka-thunk" Bob: Giggle *snort* Voice: Screech!! Who put the *@#!? seat up?! Joe: *sigh* Suddenly I feel like I'm back in junior high...or a Trump rally. Bob: Oh, please...junior high was much more sophisticated.

When Bob is right, Bob is RIGHT!

At Trump rallies, they’d steal the toilet paper, too.

Women should leave toilet seats up….Because both men and women pee on toilet seats…Men, buy thinking they can aim through the hole without spewing sprinkles, women by “hovering” not sitting on the seat just peeing six inches above the seat. Yup. Sprinkes… If you leave it up at least men won’t be doing the sprinkling…Nothing you can do about the hovering problem…

I grew up in a house with 4 females. Leaving the seat up was not an option. I used to put the lid down, so they have to at least look first.
Dtroutma over 8 years ago
Bob better stay out of North Carolina, right?

Who will be sitting on the oval seat?
KeepKeeper over 8 years ago
Instead of his, hers and theirs, Rest rooms should be labeled urinals and stools. You either sit or your stand.

Unless you are the only user, who doesn’t check the seat before using? Especially, if you intend to sit.

Time to close all the indoor facilities and everyone has to use outdoor plastic privys.

My ex was upset when I told her I put the seat down, not for her, but for the cat…..

That must be Shrillary doing that screeching. But, at this point, what difference does it make anyhow?

Bob reminds me of the Ghost of Nixons past.

OK I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again.Seat up? Seat down?The only fair way to adjudicate this problem is as follows:CLOSE THE LID!!!!!Everybody has to lift something, so no surprises.
Flash Gordon over 8 years ago
Women, wouldn’t you prefer we left the seat up as proof that we had actually put the seat up to pee?
1953Baby over 8 years ago
We have a doll called “Ms. Wonderful”—one of the things she says is, “I don’t mind if you leave the seat up, dear—it makes it easier to clean.” AS IF! I think nosirom’s suggestion is pretty good—toilet seat equality, if you will. . .

YokohamaMama said, less than a minute ago@NeedaChuckleExcept that I am in Yokohama, so no Lowes. Also haven’t seen such a small motion light here. But, a night light would work equally well.

Given the current debate about public rest rooms, today’s comic strip is just begging to be abused.
Qiset over 8 years ago
Yep, those hired protesters at Trump rallies are a unkempt bunch.
dabugger over 8 years ago
When that past time was serious fun. Bob’s temporary silly time.
Miba over 8 years ago
hahaha that’s one aspect of all this insanity I never thought about. I shouldn’t have to check if the seat is up or down in the women’s room!

In keeping with current events, Bob didn’t need to probe for occupancy. He could have just strolled in like he owned the place. If confronted by another user, he could just claim that he was expressing his right of identifying with the opposite of his birth gender.
Say What? Premium Member over 8 years ago
I hope he washed his hands, at least. I’m told that’s not common at Trump rallies, either.
Say What? Premium Member over 8 years ago
He made a lot of splashes in grade school.
ladylagomorph76 over 8 years ago
Um……I go to public restrooms and find the seat up quite frequently. Also there will be a “caution, wet floor” sign. And I’m thankful they just cleaned.

A recurring nightmare for janitors is to open the door a bit, yell “janitor” wait, no reply, then enter.About half the time there is some, usually overweight, female in various stages of undress, who says, “Oh, I’ll be finished in a minute.” A couple of incidents at my company led the black janitors to get their white supervisor to check the womens restroom first.
DADoug over 8 years ago
Time now to have a Restroom Escort to be sure we make the correct choice and to be sure the facilities, especially the floor around the stool, are clean before we leave…
Catherine Spencer-Mills Premium Member over 8 years ago
The seats are left up after cleaning – in the women’s room. Really. Truly. We have seen it before and dealt with it. And living with guys – check first, then sit.
GiantShetlandPony over 8 years ago
I’m back……anyone miss me? :-/ Slightly disappointed I didn’t get a chance to play with any Shetland Ponies on the Shetlands, but that did make returning through customs a bit easier, maybe?? … got some great pics of the peerie cuties anyway. Anyway, I’d prefer the seats up prank, ‘cause I’d catch that, to the people that pee all over the seats and then don’’t clean up after themselves. Ick. If you are going to hover and be messy, lift the damn seat and keep it clean for those of us that can’t hover. OK? BTW, it was NOT a problem I had in the UK the last two weeks. OH, And good to see all of you too! Even those that probably turned this political somehow, someway. (will catch up with the comments, maybe, later. :D have a hayfield, er lawn to mow…..)

When you flush the toilet, tiny droplets of water splash all over the place, and get counters, clothing, and toothbrushes dirty. Don’t believe me? Bend over a bit when you flush. Next time, you’ll put the seat down before you pull the handle.
alviebird over 8 years ago
If you sprinklewhen you tinkle…Please be sweet,and wipe the seat.

Intelligent people have known for decades that Donald Trump is very loud, very stupid, and very dishonest. We keep hoping the rest of the world will realize it, too!
Diat60 over 8 years ago
I’m having problems with the concept of a “motion” light. Just how much do you need to see, unless, of course, you’re seeing a doctor the next day.
carollert over 8 years ago
OMG, I LOVE this!! So true! I’ve used the men’s room. Not embarrassed about it, either. I don’t care who uses the women’s room. (Cis female, 60 years old. I really don’t care.)
carollert over 8 years ago
OH, and men should sit. Really.
dmk57 over 8 years ago
I still can’t understand, even after 28 years of marriage, why you can’t look before sitting down. That being said the seat is always left down.
YokohamaMama over 8 years ago
Oh, and having lived in a house with three men, I always check, as I never expected the seat to be down for me.
Bob666 over 8 years ago
My sister, while visiting my elderly parents, went to my mom’s bathroom and when she finished she left the >lid< down. Later my mom was quite perturbed when she went in and sat on the lid and immediately let loose. Sister had quite a laugh when mom told her.
locake over 8 years ago
A lot of men sit down to pee. A toilet has a lid for a reason. I’ve never accidentally dropped anything into an open toilet.
Dr_Zinj over 8 years ago
Ah, now I understand why they’re so nuts about transgenders using the bathrooms.
