Bathroom Etiquette and Common Courtesy

If you're a man and you have to put the toilet seat up to take a piss, and you

don't put it back down when the bathrooms are shared

genders, then shame on you. Because I don't wanna have to go in there

to go

to the bathroom, even though I hover, and have to

put it down, you know? And then it feels a little weird to do it

with my foot, to

put the seat down. I flush with my foot, but, like, whatever.

If you know you're sharing the bathroom with the opposite gender,

please put the goddamn seat down.

I was so grossed out. I, I used a paper towel, but, like,

still, it's just, like, gross. I don't wanna have to, like,

put the seat down, then

wash my ha- Like, it's just, it's a whole thing, right?

So just do me a favor.

If you work with... If you are a man and you're watching this,

and you work with

women, and you put the seat up in a shared

bathroom with those

women, put it down when you're done.

Common courtesy. Honestly, if you're not doing that at work,

you're probably not

doing that at home, and your wife, your girlfriend, your mother, your sister,

whatever, they're probably on your case. So take this as a lesson.

Men, put the fricking seat down when you're done going to the bathroom.
