Audacity of Truth
Whiner-in-Chief:
"[W]hether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing [...] does more damage to Obama's credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief."

Things men should never do in front of a woman (TUESDAY OPEN THREAD)
Taking a mid-afternoon break from politics …
Marie Claire magazine has an amusing – and mostly good – list of suggestions for things a man should not do in front of a woman. Would you add anything take anything off of the list? I’d add one thing to the list, but it’s not exactly something men do in front of women, but something women see eventually: a bathroom with the toilet seat left up. Guys, four words:
To contrast, how about ya’ll post suggestions in the comments for things women should not do in front of men? I look forward to your thoughts

I hate to say it, but telling us this stuff doesn’t really help. We’re going to forget it anyway. Most of us have to learn through years of training.
Except for the toilet seat thing. That usually just takes one error and suddenly it’s a mission to develop “the habit”. Or at least it was for me.
Great list!
Why am I suddenly happy that I’m not attached?
Seriously, the Milwaukee Police Department Special Investigations Unit released its report on the fiasco that was the 2004 elections here in Milwaukee. It is a 67-page long damnation of the Milwaukee Election Commission and the sorry state of election law here in Wisconsin.
I highly recommend page 26, which has the unit’s recommendations, as well as the takes of a few people I linked to off of my own take.
Why is it any more inconsiderate for a man to leave the toilet seat up than it is for a woman to leave the toilet seat down?
Because that’s just the way things are supposed to be done
If a man speaks in the forest and no woman is there to hear him, is he still wrong?
Okay with the toilet seat lid; but why do women complain when men urinate off the back porch?
Because Men don’t fall in if the toilet seat isn’t up.
I have had 4 legged pets for the majority of my life, so both seat and lid are always down in my home, and if the little woman, whomever she is, doesn’t put the lid down after using, I am going to let Gizmo, my 20 lb 3 ft long cat, lick her nose while she is asleep cuz a cat that size can drink a ton of toilet water.
As far as a thing a man shouldn’t do when on a date, is sniff, especially HIS body parts. When a man wants to enjoy a womans perfume, he should always do it in soft slow inhales. Then tell ask her, insert best guess here, but know your perfumes. This little trick has gotten me several dates and lots of fun conversations.
As far as what a woman shouldn’t do when on a date with a man. A woman shouldn’t go on, and on, and on, and on about how a man has done her wrong. I was on my 5th or 6th date with this woman and she was still talking about her ex-husband, we ended up friends. She married some other desperate guy, who wanted to see if he could beat Solomon’s wife record, one woman at a time. – Lorica

The toilet seat works both ways; if it’s up, and you’re female, put it down. There is no “default” position, IMO. If I go into the bathroom to take a leak, do you think I whine that it was left down? Not hardly.
The toilet seat works both ways. Deal with it…
I’ve never understood the toilet seat issue. Do men ever complain that it’s left down? No, men have that gene permitting instant understanding of complex mechanical devices such as carburetors, table saws, pump action shotguns, and, yes, even toilet seats.
I don’t understand why women keep insisting they can fly jets but can’t deal with a toilet seat. You can’t master the simple things, ladies, the world’s not going to get any easier.
And as for falling in, seems to me that sort of thing would happen once, and subsequently a person would not just plop down without looking. Well, a guy would learn that. I haven’t noticed women falling to the floor sitting on chairs that aren’t there, so why is the toilet different?
Like Lorica, the seats and lids in my house are always kept down because I don’t want my two dogs figuring out that white seat is really a big water bowl. That’s a practical reason – being incompetent to work the seat is not.
Ladies, we hold the doors for you out of respect – we adjust the toilet seat just to shut up ceaseless whining.
Actually, I learned the toilet Seat rule when I lived with my Grandparents for six months – *shudder!* – when I first moved to Florida. I made it a habit to put the seat down and have lived with a clean conciense since. Nyeaahh!
Ladies: If the bathroom door is closed and the shower ain’t running … stay out! You may not mind having a conversation while doing your “business” but a lot of us do!
The toilet set should be down because it looks ugly up.
And benning (#12) – I had to teach my husband that rule! He doesn’t care if I walk in on him or not.
As for things men shouldn’t do in front of women. Guys – you know all the things you do when you pass gas? Well, DON’T DO THEM!!!!
Make a deal with you. I’ll put the seat down when I’m done. You put it up when you’re done.
Pull my finger!
GUNS save LIVES.
Thanks, bak… I’d add to the list of things a guy never does is talk about his firearms. Unless the woman brings it up. And even then, be prepared to drop it instantly if the topic shows signs of changing.
Some women are just not interested in bullet weights and muzzle velocity. I bring out my .45-70 ammo in 430 grains and 1900 fps, and they don’t even pretend to be interested.
Gotta admit, my dream woman is the Reba McIntyre character from Tremors.
