Are you pedantic?

[vinylgroover]

Was at a girlfriend's place last night and went to the toilet to take a piss while watching a video.

Anyway, half hour later she goes to the toilet and i hear these screams. She runs out and starts unloading on me for not putting the seat back down. She's going on at me for like 10 fucking minutes, 'do you do that in your own place' and shit.

WTF is with that. It's not like a turd is going to climb out of the bowl and walk through the house if i don't put the seat down. She has to lift it up anyway to do her stuff. She is one of those really pedantic people and it shits me.

There is not too much in life that worries me, i'm very chilled, but i'm certainly not going to get shitty (excuse the pun) about a toilet seat being left up.

Is anyone else here pedantic?

Depends.. Am I pedantic thinking that you are misusing the word Pedantic in this situation? As the definiton as far as I know refers generally to things such as Scholarly, bookish and acedemic, not as being obcessed with toilet seats.

Yeah, I know, formal rules and all that crap...

 

[vinylgroover]

I was using it in the context of being 'petty', 'fussing over seemingly nothing, that sort of thing.

 

[epimetheus]

Seemingly nothing? nah, doesn't fit. Now a strong attention to details might fit better, but details implies something other than nothing eh?

Only for those stupid enough that don't want to learn year round. FTR I have been out of school for 8 years and still learn what I can. In fact that is what I am at this forum for. What are you here for?

must be her thing i guess

I had some girl give me shit about that once. She was dating my brother and he said it drove her nuts so naturally I piss on the seat everytime I go there now. She should have never opened her mouth!

VG- Just to let you know, since I can't PM you, I was only joking around with you, playing around with the definition of the word. Don't want you to think I was being a dick to ya. (Well, guess I kind of came off as assholish to HumorMe..Sigh, guess it sort of offended me, I apologize to you too man)

No offense taken. I am just fucking around with everybody. No problem!

I hate the double standard. I'll put the goddam seat down when I'm done if she puts the goddam seat up when she's done. She says, "In the middle of the night when I have to go I don't check and I fall in the bowl." I said, "So then after that happens a couple of times you should be on the lookout, right? Fool you once shame on me, fool you twice shame on you."

It's possible she sat down without looking and sat directly on the rim of the toilet bowl which, more that likely, was splashed with urine. That would piss me off as well.

Who the fuck sits on the toilet without looking? Does she sit down on her chair or in a restaurant without looking? Give me a break!

[c-sharp minor]

If I was in my own house and lived alone I don't think I would look. I say this becasuse it's happened (not to me), but it has happened.


ps: good Ayn Rand quote btw

The bigger challenge is to piss with the seat down. I've got it down to an art form where even the dribble is lobbed right into the cirlce.

No, seriously dude, I can't imagine someone sitting on something without looking at it. How do women do it? Do they walk down the hallway, into the bathroom, LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD, NEVER UP OR DOWN, walk forward, turn 90 degrees (STILL NOT LOOKING AT THE TOILET) and sit? There could be a fucking crocodile there for all they know.

Agreed.

But for domestic tranquility you should either practice my precise aiming technique, or put the seat down.

It's just the right thing to do.
