Throw Pillows and Toilet Seats

Women need to make up their minds

I made an interesting observation this morning as I went about my normal routine. As usual, I woke up and crawled out of bed, then diligently assembled the rows and rows of throw pillows in coordinating designs, alternating colors and assorted shapes that even Martha Stewart would be proud of. Next, I stumbled into the bathroom, delicately lifting the toilet seat and then gently setting it back down when I was done. Why would I do such things? Well, I aim to please, and it hardly seems worth upsetting the lady over such trivial things.

Then it hit me. Why am I spending 5 minutes to redecorate my bed -- which I see when I'm awake for about 2 minutes a day -- yet she is offended at the thought of having to put a toilet seat down? Hell. My cat can put the seat down. Then again, Fluffy will drink from the toilet, but I digress. It takes just as much effort for me to put the seat up as it does her to put it down. This seems like an injustice to all mankind.

Ladies, if I'm way out of line, I'd love to hear some counter examples of our manliness causing undue headaches. And guys, lets hear more stories that make you wonder, to borrow from Jerry Seinfeld, "What's the deal with that?"
