Ok, ewww. I have to comment on the toilet wars. Putting the seat (and the lid) down isn't just an issue of courtesy. It's totally disgusting and unsanitary to flush with the lid up. An "aerosol" of toilet water (and whatever else is in the bowl) sprays into your bathroom, and your toothbrush. grossness.

About those toilet seats: I was seeing someone who made the up/down pronouncement and I chose - through great self-restraint - not to "hear" what he'd said. I don't know whether it was the lack of response or because he believed this to be a truly witty remark, but he kept repeating it. Not, like, everyday, but right then and there, over and over. Finally, forced to actually listen to him, I realized that he was, in fact, a moron. We were done within weeks, when I found an easier reason to explain.

Get over yourselves and get over the toilet seat issue. We are never going to put it down. It is as instinctive as having one of our hands down on our pants while we are in the couch. Another thing all women love to b*tch about. We'll start leaving seats down when you all start opening your damn doors.

J -

I don't think you should be opening any doors - what with your hands spending so much time down your pants, it's probably best you keep them to yourself.

That blog why I dumped you is the funniest thing, can't wait for the next entry

I'm always the dumpee, you will have to speak with my exes :)

I promise I never peed on any bank documents.

I'm with aeb. J, please let us know which doors you've been touching.

I didn't really dump her because she was never a girlfriend, just someone I went out with a couple times... but one time when she was over and I left my room for a bit, she went through my trash (fairly sure because things on recent receipts from the week suddenly came up in conversation), looked at my CD collection to figure out what I liked and then name dropped some of "her favorites" (which I seriously doubt) asking if I liked them (pretty obvious when she brought up bands like unrest, ride, gaudi, pale saints, etc.), then pretended for a bit that we could possibly be related and how "that would be weird". I stopped calling and hoped to never run into her again. So basically crazy women who snoop and then pretend to have more of a connection than they do are a deal breaker for me.

When you know I'm allergic yet you "cat sit" for a friend...then keep the cat...then tell me to go get allergy medicine. That cat ain't keeping you warm at night honey...it doesn't have the body mass.

I went out with a guy whose last name was "Sunshine."

Seriously, his last name was Sunshine. Instead of being honest that this was just not the right person for me, I used a great excuse. If we got married, there is NO way I could possibly live up to having "Sunshine" as my last name. I mean, who can be cheery 24/7?

Deal breaker: Going to jail. And then still calling me every night while on work release.

Kept asking me out but after five dates still wouldn't kiss me - no explanation.

Asked repeated and detailed questions about my fertility and family history on a first date; when this brought up some rather unhappy family stories was completely unsympathetic.

No offer to walk me to my car after picking a meeting place in a scuffy part of town.

Google stalking to the point of sending things to me at my work (we hadn't discussed it or met yet (or ever as it turned out) unexpectedly. EEEWWWWW.

Explained that only one fairly narrow fetish would always be the extent of any joint sex life we ever had. Mmmmm.

Money obsessed.

Lectured me about all the reasons I would decline the third date - convinced me.

Wanted to get married and live in a separate house built in the backyard of my existing home.

Wanted to get married and live 1/4 away from future MIL in an isolated are, have millions of babies.

Thought our sex life was 'too emotional' and we should, you know, work on that, so that there wouldn't be like a connected feeling.

If I were willing to log back in to some of those dating accounts I'm sure I could come up with many many more. People are insane.
