Back when we could have dinner parties (sigh) we had installed a heated bidet seat in the powder room a bit before one of them.
Just before we sat down for dinner one of the ladies utilized the facility – and RAVED about it! It became the principle topic of conversation for the entire dinner – my Sadie was quite put out . . . Evidently at a dinner party one should not talk of religion, politics, or sex – and now – toilet accessories.
So-o-o – I think you see where this is going – it was, of course, my fault. In fairness, after dinner the lady who’d discovered it crawled on the floor with me so she could learn how to install one herself. And she did!
Isn’t it a cultural . . .um, thing. . .that the only people more interested in bathroom accessories than Americans are the Japanese? Can understand it with how crowded they are. . .but they have more interest in “streamlining” commodes than other cultures. . .read “Chasing Dirt”. . .the REAL story of American cleanliness. . .are we REALLY talking about this stuff at 7:30 in the morning.?
There us something unsettling about sitting on a warm toilet seat. As to the bidet thing.. I have washed stepped on dog poo off my drive with a garden hose.. Even when you can see what you are aiming at it is hard.. so, I don’t see how the bidet thing works.. and then there is the drying part.. already women use tons of TP

Some of my friends recently installed a bidet/toilet seat. I was thankful they didn’t invite us over to check it out.

the only people I can imagine showing up to that kind of event are Japanese

Not as bad as midgets inviting people over to use their midget sized toilet.

Paper provided? Or bring your own?

I’ll bet the cat is hoping you’ll always put the seat down so he can nap on it.

Did you make sure that the settings for the heating are correct, Earl? The last thing you need is a burned butt!
ForrestOverin over 4 years ago
Yes, Earl, and christen the new bidet at the same time!

You could combine it with a Burrito Night party.

Getting a heated toilet seat was one of my finest moves (damn these puns!)

Even Muffin knows that’s a crazy idea!

Got a bad visual when the word “opening” was used.

Had padded toilet seats not impressed. As to heated, that would imply a power source which I find dubious and possibly dangerous.

yeah, thats what everyone wants Earl. If it’s really that important. Put it out for a halloween decoration.
davidlwashburn over 4 years ago
Opening what? (On second, though, I don’t want to know.)
Buckeye67 over 4 years ago
Opal knows that even if it’s padded and heated, Earl will leave it up.

Grand opening?
Maybe a sit-down dinner?

He’s likely to remove it to use as a doughnut when his hemorrhoids flare.

Roscoe is lowering the water level.

I don’t stay on long enough to want padding or heating.

I guess Ex-Lax is not the only thing to make the going great!

Don’t bother. Our toilets are wall hung and soft close and we have not even had one comment.
