chelle Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 It's a conspiracy by the home fashion designers to make an unnecessary product and convince the masses they need it. Messages behind the marketing: "You will be so fashionable if you cover the toilet with this warm fuzzy cover. BTW you will also need to match all your fuzzy accessories so buy the fuzzy bathroom rug and toilet mat, and the toilet tank cover. This will tell the world that you are (or will be) a good homemaker and care about appearances and current trends affecting your family's public image." Poor housewives get Quote
badvoodoo Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Don't forget the ever-useful crocheted tissue box and toilet paper covers! Your bathroom will never complain about those chilly nights again! Quote
Gary_Yngve Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Also, what's with modern bathrooms being so damn large? I've been in some apartments (that weren't that large) where the bathroom was probably at least 100 sq ft. My apartment has maybe 30 sq ft reserved for the bathroom... 5x3 feet for a toilet and sink on opposite ends, and 5x3 feet for a shower. Why would I want more room? Why waste the real-estate where you spend the least amount of your day? Quote
klenke Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 I can answer that, Gary: expanding waistlines. The higher percentage of obese among us need that extra room to get around. Â While in college, I once looked at an apartment in the U. District up by Metro Cinemas. Well, the bedroom had normal 8-ft ceilings. But the bathroom, which was accessed from the bedroom, was up three steps through a smallish door and into a narrow room with only a skylight for the natural light. Having gone up three steps to get in there, my head was now pretty close to the ceiling . If you were taller, you'd have to put your head up in the skylight while doing your business. Needless to say, I didn't take the apartment. Quote

minx Posted January 12, 2004 Author Posted January 12, 2004 my very sensible date (that doesn't explain why was with me) from last evening, offered up some very practical explanations. (needless to say i won't be seeing him again) after he finished looking at me like i was from another planet when i asked, he offered up the following: a) it keeps the porcelin from "clanking" w/the tank when the sit is raised b) it keeps your tush warm if you sit down to dress or dry off after your shower.

lummox Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 my very sensible date 'date'. the colloquialisms you sex industry workers use just kill me. Â Â and i think magazine racks next to shitters is just about as strange as the shag carpet covered toilet seat. Quote
glacierdog Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 I hate those things! A friend mine had one that was cleverly shaped like a fish. It had a nose on the end that prevented the seat from lifting all the way, so you either had to balance it straight up or hold on to it while pissing. I tried balancing it once, and it fell and almost took my dick off. I'm scarred for life. Quote
Harry_Pi Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Hello capitalist! Glacierdog must be midget or it happen when he was little boy. Thank you for allow commie to post. Quote
arlen Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 ...that prevented the seat from lifting all the way, so you either had to balance it straight up or hold on to it while pissing. I tried balancing it once, and it fell and almost took my dick off. I'm scarred for life. Â WERD. It took crapper engineers more than a century to get the seat to stay up, and the fuzzy things tilt it just enough forward to send it slamming down right when a fella's reached optimum flow. Quote
lummox Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 alright. wtf is up with them automatic flushing toilets that go off mid crap? i hate gettin startled that way. Quote
klenke Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 alright. wtf is up with them automatic flushing toilets that go off mid crap? i hate gettin startled that way. Ah, you know you like the way the splashing water tickles your choad (your perineum ). Quote
mattp Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 What are you doing there to set of the trigger mid-crap? If you calmly go about your business, you should have no problem. Quote
klenke Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 I can answer for Lummox because this used to happen to me at my last job. They installed those autoflushers there (and, in my opinion, due to their premature flushing, they actually make you use more water because you often have to flush twice where ordinarily once would suffice). One of the commodes was one of those large handicapped ones, the ones that sit farther away from the wall. Well, the IR sensor was too far away from my back--especially if I leaned forward to squeeze...well, you know. Anyway, the sensor could no longer see you after having registered your presence previously, so it flushed away. Sometimes this would even happen if I wasn't leaning forward. Then, of course, it would always flush before you had a chance to wipe your ass and toss in the TP, meaning you'd have to flush again to get the TP gone. So stupid. Quote
lummox Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 What are you doing there to set of the trigger mid-crap? If you calmly go about your business, you should have no problem. yet another instance of theoretical not matching practical. i dont think i go through any extraordinary gyrations while releasing the hostages. them things just flush spontaneous like.
