My pet peeve: airplane toilet seats!

They just can't seem to get this right! Most men pee while standing up, especially in the small airplane toilets. So why the heck can't Boing and AirBus and any others seem to design a toilet seat that stays up as you stand there relieving yourself and doesn't come crashing down mid-stream?

I just flew on a new Boing 737-900 and the toilet seat was all loose and would not stay up. So you are forced to stand there holding the seat with one hand (YUCK) while you wizz away. Why don't they"

1. make a seat that with a tight joint that stays up.
2. install a small lever you position to hold it up.
3. use velcro on the seat and wall.

I plan on a letter writing campaign!

That and because of the angle of the wall you pretty much have to pee arched over or from 1 foot away. I still get that blue water all over the tip.

I don't have a problem with the lid, it's that heavy. But that water is *cold*.

PS

Rise before flushing.

Yeah and its deep to.

its an acrobatic maneuver, but i find if i stand on the sink and press the back of my head against the ceiling for support only half gets wet

Never mind airplanes, what about truck stop toilet seats???

The fear of a toilet seat runs deep in truckers. Urinals too.

I hate hovering!

Welcome to our world.

Love,

Every woman on earth

Ok, you win. :lol2:

It's the getting it pinched in the flap thing in the bottom of the bowl that gets me. And starting backwards... really doesn't help. At all.

Because you would leave the seat up.;)
