true story: the people who built my parents' house then sold it to my parents put a bidet in next to the toilet!! cracks me up. |
Just out of curiosity, where do you think a bidet goes ?
True story: When I get to FL to clean out my mom's house for sale, I discover an uninstalled, Forest Green Bidet in the hallway. When I asked what that was doing there she answered they were going to take it up to the house in Maine. For the record, none of the fixtures in Maine are green and the bathroom in Maine is not big enough for a bidet.

Must there be a giant ceramic appliance in the bathroom instead of handy packet of disposable wipes? Good Lord.
True story: at a very nice hotel we were staying in, a guest, um, misused the bidet. The hotel did not throw her out, despite the fact that she flooded her room and the rooms of two floors below hers. They didn't even yell at her. In fact, they told her they were "sorry for the inconvenience" and invited her to stay a few more days on them.

If nature calls in the middle of the night, that's why man invented windows.

Bidets are quite the norm in Europe and have been for many years. They are a fairly "new concept" here in the US.

Yeah, I know. But wipes are a lot more convenient and portable. Have you ever tried to schlep a bidet? No fun.

We have dogs who like to drink out of the tank...so the seat and lid are always down at our house. We like to say "the bar is closed" to them.

But I agree it looks much better to have the seat and the lid down. If everyone would do this, we could have world peace. Or whirled peas. Or possibly whizzed pearls, closer to the topic at hand.
And BTW if I complain about you, don't assume it's TOM. Assume that you're just an ahole. |

I am borderline OCD on the toilet issue.
I absolutely cannot stand the thought of touching someone elses excrement or urine...in whole or in part....the ONLY said emittances that I tolerate to some degree are (and in this order!!!)
my own
my children
my husband
my father (I will on occasion clean his b-room) 
the gym....but they PAY me to clean there 
and I get gloves!

Wipes are disgusting. Think about where you are putting your hand. Bidets are clean, and environmentally friendly. Oh, and I have a combination bidet/toilet that is just the best.

Does this mean your toilet spits when it's flushed?
So you've never touched yourself? The thought of that is disgusting? I guess I'm disgusting. Until I had my child, I had no idea what a great invention wipes were. WOOHOO! Love.them.
On the toilet seat, I could care less. I always look to make sure, no matter the time of day.
I'm not usually a complainer and I'm not good at nagging.

I want the name of this nice hotel that G3 stayed at so I can go f up the bidet and get a few free nights!
In our house, we've had to start putting the seat and lid down (which I prefer the looks of anyway because of where our bathroom is located) because the dog, after nearly 7 years of NEVER doing this, decided one fine day that the toilet bowl would make a splendid water dish.
