  • I don’t know either. There really isn’t a universally agreed upon standard for how to leave a toilet seat. Even with a sign dictating the expected behaviour, it’s not a guarantee. It’s completely illogical to expect a toilet seat to have been left in any specific state*, and therefore the onus is entirely on the next person to set it how they want before using it. This is already how it works. It takes 1 second. I don’t know who is complaining about it.

    Although, on second thought, the only people who would ever have to move the seat in a seat-down world are those who want to pee standing up, and there might be some value in very gently discouraging that behaviour in a public restroom. Not sure if that’s the goal here, but it’s a theory.

    *Unless there’s a lid. Close the damn lid!













  • Yup. I’ve never really felt compelled to steal anything at all in my life, but I found some silverware like this at a restaurant one time and I don’t think I had much of a choice.

    Once I felt that ideal shape in my hand, with the perfect amount of heft distributed exactly as it should be, I knew I could never go back to using regular flat silverware.

    The waiter caught me trying to clumsily hide the one set, and then he brought me a second one to take home as a gift. It was one of the nicest things, I’ll never forget it.
