The Toilet Seat

Having a particularly quiet work day yesterday found four of us, one Doc and 3 nurses sat around the desk discussing our various OCD's. Amazing how so many people are like that. The subject shifted to the toilet seat. Mine is always firmly down for a few reasons.

1. Keeping the seat up vapourizes a few zillion germs into your home atmosphere every day
2. The fear of a rat or snake finding it's way into my bathroom
3. The cat's drink from it (eeek)
4. Feng Shui says that Keep your lid down or your wealth will disappear down the toilet pan
5. It looks tidier.

There's some really weird toilet seat practices on the Web though. Musical ones, Ones that play radio four when you sit down, One's that talk to you (in Scots accent). People who decorate toilet lids for a hobby.

Then another reason for the lid to be down..The possibility that your toddler may drown. Hmm I did look after a child who nearly died, that fell head first into a dustbin with a few inches of water at the bottom. So anything is possible with kids.

Then there's the amazing. The Internet toilet by MSN. With plasma screen in front of the throne to enable easy surfing whilst you contemplate.

I had a friend once who had a warm padded seat. It was vile to sit on. Felt so odd. People do odd things in their bathrooms! Anyways Christmas approaches so here's something for you all to bid on. EBay don't you love it.
