Why is it that women (and some men, for that matter, but not that there’s anything wrong with that) will tell you it is fine to do something and then if you do it, they get mad?  I won’t go into specifics for obvious reasons (she would get even madder), but it seems to me that it is pretty simple logic to tell someone what you want so you don’t get something you don’t want. 

For example (and this is completely hypothetical), “Honey, do you mind if I go out with the guys tonight?”  “Sure,” she replies.  So you go out, have a good time and when you get back home, you get the cold shoulder.  She may not even say something, but you can tell that something is wrong.  Then if you ask what’s wrong, you may get a “You know what’s wrong” with an evil eye, or you may even get a direct answer then such as “Why did you go out with the guys when you know I didn’t want you to.”

It seems to me in the above situation, it would have turned out much better if she had replied, “no I would rather you stay home and be with me.”  This would be especially nice if she does it with a suggestive look…

So, I want to hear from you.  What are everyone’s opinion on the matter?

I want to take a break from the triathlon training for this post.  A discussion was started at work the other day and it got me thinking.

Toilet seat left up or down?

I know, I know, current social acceptance rules in favor of seat left down, but let’s think about this for a moment.  Especially in a public restroom, what is important?  Keeping sanitary.  Right?  Females (if you are doing it the way I assume you are) have to touch the seat regardless of what they are in there to do.  Males would only have to touch the seat if it were in the down position.  That is unless a guy leaves it down, which only raises the risk of splashing onto the seat, which no one wants.  So the most time efficient, sanitary way to handle the situation is to always leave the seat in the up position.  Am I right?

I fully expect to hear some point of views from the female perspective, so let me hear it!
