So I've been meaning to blog about a situation that has come up at work. I can't pinpoint that a certain person is doing something, but it started coincidentally around the same time that this person started working here. When my office moved to Chino, I lost my woman bathroom privileges. Now we only have a unisex bathroom for the office employees.
Lately, when I go in the restroom I find that the toilet seat is up. This is gross because I have to use a piece of toilet paper to put the toilet seat down. At first, I figured it was an accident. I mean, I am the only girl in the office with three men. But after it started happening almost every day, I knew things needed to change. But I am unsure how to approach this. Do I confront the person I think is responsible? Bathroom talk is a little weird, but I can't continue doing this every day. Any suggestions?

I think you should just simply say to this chauvinistic A-hole, Hey listen Bud! You are leaving the toilet seat up and I don't dig it! How would you like it if I pee on your car's door handle? Well it's the same thing!" Then you should pee on his chair when he is not looking. Hopefully it is cloth.
i would put a post-it note as a friendly reminder...yuck.
I like the post-it note idea or maybe you could email them all. Maybe less awkward?
I'd address it with humor. Somekind of a detailed note or e-mail addressing all the health concerns or psycho-sematic reprocussions of you having to put the toilet seat down yourself.
Maybe you could offer a prize or treat for an entire week of rememebring to put the seat down.
Or maybe hang a white board the way they have on work-sites counting the days with out an injury incident, only yours could say something like "It's been --amount of days since someone left the toilet seat up." And you could like up date it everyday.
Maybe hang it right over the toilet.
What do you think about that?
Great ideas! I like the post-it right on the back of the seat so they see it when they go!!!
One thing i've learned is pick your fights. Closing the toilet seat every day is something irritatingly bothersome, but there are worse things I'm not giving into. So toilet seats, stand up all you want, but remember...you're going to have to pick them up everytime after me. Because I'm NOT going to lift them up!!
Ps Did you sell the jetta?
