Opinions are like ar$eholes...

Only women and cat-lovers put it inside.
Anyone who can understand simple, logical processes would understand
immediately that it goes out.

 

Rushing to join in, I think! The first IT budget I did was
carefully considered, calculated, amortised and justified
seven different ways. It got thrown back at me with
instructions to thin it out a bit, and increase the number
at the bottom of the last page by two orders of magnitude!

GB, 'course, I've come along a bit since then!

Frankly, I'm a little embarrased to be putting up my paltry
schoolboy type survey in the same arena as this carefully
considered academic work!


As an aside, a tid-bit for those of you who expressed interest
in the results of my paltry effort; I note with interest that
the 22 year old American gentleman who described his occupation
as...

"I sit around, play videogames, bittorrent, and talk to my
beautiful perfect girlfriend (who I am not worthy of)"

... is very strongly opposed to the suggestion that his ISP might
restrict file sharing traffic and strongly agrees with the suggestion
that Digital Rights Management infringes on his 'rights'!


GB, "we're not worthyyyyy"!

 

Settle down sharks, that's world war three you're hinting at
there!


GB, and put the toilet seat down you bastard!

 

Oi! I'm a cat lovin' poof, and I hang it 'out'.

GB, I just know I'm gonna regret that!

 

Leddi?

 

And you use less toilet paper if it's fitted towards the wall. Large hotel
chains have done the statistics in an effort to reduce costs.

I bet their sheet-laundering costs went up multifold but no-one ever added
two-plus-two....

That would automatically exclude women and cat-lovers.

True.
And I've berated a few for not putting it "up" when they've finished too!

 

All the women I've lived with have been vociferous about it needing to
be outwards (woe betide the unfortunate who doesn't check and puts it
the wrong way round)

Yeah that's because it always breaks off before you've got enough of the
stuff.

(there's probably a PHD in working out why it's more likely to break off
earlier when it's in than out)

 

Naaah they blow.

Neither, you should get your nose firmly into the trough until someone
accountant decides the entire IT support function should be outsourced.

Heheh as someone who has worked for both Hutch AND Ericsson I think
you'd have to be an alien to not be bitterer(1) than wormwood

I actually rang 'Hey Hey It's Saturday (night)" one time when they were
having the 'What cheeses you off' segment and said "Women who don't put
the toilet seat up' which caused a mild ripple of laughter from the
audience and a mildy amused grin from Daryl (desired effect achieved).

The next call was from a screaming loony woman who starting raving and
insulting me about how men should be putting the toilet seat down (Daryl
Summers looked less than amused), which made me me amused [1]

I heard that sitting to pee does a better job of emptying your bladder
(important for the old farts among us who have to sometimes get up in
the middle of the night). It also makes less mess (you are unlike to
miss). The person who cleans the toilet really appreciates it. On the
other hand, what annoys me is people who leave the lid up in our
ensuite. I can't figure out who this is (or am afraid to say).
