My buddy refuses to lift the seat....

[UberMouse]

So, I have a friend who visits my home regularly and refuses to lift the lid and/or hit the water in the bottom of the toilet. Every time he comes out of the bathroom and I go in after him there is literally ______ all over the seat, as well as back behind the seat where the seat bolts are. I jump onto him about this all the time, but he just refuses to obey my etiquette rules. FWIW, his wife says that he does the same thing at his house to, and that it is disgusting. Anyway, My Wife and I just bought the house of our dreams, and I have a finished basement that I am turning into a theater room, and will be themed in classic Disney memorabilia, such as old ride posters, etc that I have been collecting. ( I finally have my room!!) The bathroom is also Disney themed, in particular Mickey Mouse. I made the following 11X17 picture in photoshop to hang over the toilet. Tell me what you think.

So, where does he hit? He's got some issues if he can't even ______ right! :hurl:

btw, i cant see the pic, but I would ban him from using my facilities; he can go outside! :lol:

The pic was titled P ee ______ Boy, so I had to rename it...He hits everything. I really don't think he pays attention. Also, he is in his mid 30's

Great pic! Whether he'll pay attention to it is another matter. Why wouldn't you want to at least ______ correctly?! Be immature in a lot of things, but not going to the bathroom!!!:hurl:

Maybe you should do what parents do to potty train their boys, put a target with points in the toilet and tell him he'll get a prize if he hits them!

I just dropped $250 to replace 5 toilet seats in this house because the previous owners seemed to have the exact same problem. I used one full bottle of Clorox clean-up in each bathroom I believe. These are some really good seats, and I will strangle him if he starts weeing on any of them. I have even told him to sit down before...He said, dude, I'm not a girl.. The way he sprays everything down without the ability to aim, I am beginning to wonder about that.

Yeah, my suggestion was to tell him if he couldn't control himself he would be required to sit. When my boys were little I made them sit. Anyone who laughed at that was informed that as long as I was the one cleaning the bathroom that's the way it would be. Maybe greet him at the bathroom door when he's coming out with a canister of clorox wipes. Personally, I'd find reasons for that friend to not come to my house anymore.

While your friend is certainly entitled to make a mess of his own home, his behavior at your house is an entirely different matter. I rarely have a problem such as yours, but reading your posts makes me question why it is that this friend is allowed into your home. It is an odd social custom within our society that allows for poor behavior, but does not allow for the correction of poor behavior. In other words, you would be considered rude and judgmental if you told him that he is not allowed in your home because he behaves like an untrained puppy, but he should be perfectly acceptable as an adult who behaves like a poorly reared child on a camping trip. His sense of friendship should lead him to honor your wishes when visiting your home. Instead, he seems to feel that your sense of friendship should lead you to allow his offensive and unsanitary habits to persist.

As to your sign, I would omit the words "kind folks" and replace them with the offender's name in bold print. If that were not enough for him, I would let him know that the bathroom is off limits. "Why", he would ask? Because your aim is to keep the bathroom clean, and his aim is a major hindrance toward that goal. Best wishes to you with this dilemma.

Ha ha! I actually considered everything that you said when first coming up with the idea. I do embarrass him when he does it, and starting last New Years at a party we had I started yelling into the bathroom every time he went in "Hey, lift the seat!!". I really think that he might be one of those guys that just stands there with his hands on his hips while he urinates..

The worst case scenario is that he will see the sign, start laughing then just wee all over everything... If he keeps it up I am going to leave an upper decker at his house one day.

Anyway, My Wife and I just bought the house of our dreams, and I have a finished basement that I am turning into a theater room, and will be themed in classic Disney memorabilia, such as old ride posters, etc that I have been collecting. ( I finally have my room!!) The bathroom is also Disney themed, in particular Mickey Mouse.

Can I come see?

I promise not to make a mess . . .

Well when we were training our son we had a bowl of cheerios and would drop one into the bowl for him to shoot at.

Offer praises and sticker on the potty chart for every successful potty use

In the winter let a boy "write in the snow."

some places have a bee on the back of urinals
Or maybe you can drain the water from the toilet bowl and paint a Mickey mouse with fingernail polish on the porcelain toward the back.

Hahahahaha!! OMG you should totally do it and teach him a lesson! :ROFLOL:
Seriously tell him to be a grown ______ adult and learn how to ______ in the toilet. There is no reason for him to be an assclown and disrespect your home. I have 3 very close guy friends and if they did that at my house I would smack them right in the head lol! But the pic is awesome and I hope it does the trick!

Put up a sign that says:

If you sprinkle when you tinkle,
Be a sweetie and wipe the seatie.
