Hard as hell to sink the targets in the toilet if you are sitting down.

No doubt you are thinking "What targets"?

Obviously you haven't seen my toilet (And I am pretty sure based on this most of you would never want to...). Pretty much always a bit of flotsam or jetsom floating about or clinginig desperately to the sides. That stuff always needs a good hosing down!



Besides we are trained at an early age thanks to the abundance of public urinals (Which generally also come well supplied with targets for practice. And of course the joys of peeing freely all across the whole wide world outdoors!

Yes, I have no life...

Ewwwwwww!

These are both nice products. You can spray/squirt them into your toilet and clean it up without scrubbing.



The Clorox toilet scrubber with bleach is also really nice for soaking sinks. Squeeze it in, let it sit for a while then rinse it off.

PSM, I am shocked that you would want to take away the guy's hobby!

If I do that all the targets will be gone!!!

I actually have, and use, the bottom one at least when it finally gets to the point that even I get a little ill.

But that takes awhile...

Yeah!!! What Silver said! Got to do something during the long cold winter...

My cats drink out of our toilets, so it's important to me that they are tidy.

Does your husband use the sink instead?

Hey. That's not a bad idea! It sure would save me the trouble of having to fumble around trying to find the tweezers on cold nights like we've had lately.



Actually, I do sit down to pee at night, to minimize the noise. Most of the rest of the time it's too much trouble, though.

And it's too cold.

(The water, not the lid.)

Ba-doom.

I'm reminded now of the last line of an old joke: "Yeah. And deep, too."

Well, they might not live long drinking out of mine.

But they would have "things" to play with...

No. He uses the toilet. He even stands, but has good aim.

Ok, here is a funny story that happened a few years ago. Emma had to use the bathroom one day and Maddie wouldn't get off the toilet. Maddie likes to read in the bathroom and it takes a while. Emma felt that she shouldn't have to use our toilet or go downstairs, so she pooped in Maddie's sink.

It's a matter of survival: by standing up, we can keep an eye out for predators, and thus engage in the appropriate fight or flight response in a timely manner. On the other hand, those of you who happen to be of the non-dangling persuasion (i.e., 'innies' rather than 'outies'), by sitting/squatting all the time, are likely to be eaten by the bears before you even know they are there.

What's the point of being a biped if you're on your ass all the time?

Why do I have a feeling that neither Emma nor Maddie cleaned it up?

Dude, who cares who cleaned it up. They dint ask you to clean it up so who cares?

My brother usually pees sitting down.

I think it came from having only one toilet with a family of 6. Two of us would be in the bathroom at the same time - often. I might be drying my hair and he had to pee - so he would sit down.

It is a habit he hasn't broken.

David will often tee-tee sitting down whilst at home. He is very tall and he feels like he might miss. Yes, if he missed I would offer to clean it up. I'm just nice that way.

you guys...

Ewwwwww! That's just nasty. You mean there were two other toilets in the house she could have gone to in an emergency, but she did that????? If any of mine had done that, you bet they'd have cleaned it up. And they probably wouldn't have been doing much sitting for the next few days! We didn't give out butt-whuppin's too often, but that would have warranted one.

BTW, we have one toilet for 4 people. And there's a bedside commode chair in the basement, left over from my broken leg a few years ago, that I guess someone could use in time of dire need (and, they would be expected to empty & clean it after.) But no one has ever pooped in the sink!!!!

I think if anyone did, I'd be over at the plumbing store getting a new sink, even after it was cleaned up

How the heck old were they, anyhow?

It's been an interesting day on the bored covering many subjects, hasn't it.
This being one of the more, shall we say...interesting...ones.

I love Scrubbing Bubbles, btw. I'm not so hot on Clorox cleaning stuff cause I almost always end up getting the bleach on something I didn't want it on, then I'm mad about it.

I love where this thread is going....

I could sit here all day and watch this thread unfold. Good thing I brought some snacks....

My hubby sits. He has a 36 inch inseam so there is splashing that happens - it helps a bunch keeping everything clean.

My son at 4 has the most questionable aim.....Never know when he will aim badly and hit something that shouldn't be hit.

AND she pooped in the sink!?!
Why didn't she just clean her rear with her sister's toothbrush afterward?


Or


perhaps she did......

I sit doing EVERYTHING nowadays!!

Why did I give Snoopy permission to run with this? Isn't 'target shooting' how you potty train boys? I guess they never outgrow that. Ha!

I personally wouldn't want to be standing there with my leticibles hanging out (if I had any), when there are hungry bears running around. But, that's just me. At least your ass is protected in the seat when you're sitting down like a civilized human.

The best toilet bowl cleaner EVER is this cheap stuff from the dollar store for a buck a bottle. Unfortunately, we have no Dollar Generals in Colorado (although they have circulars in the paper, so whatever) so I have my brother stock up for me when he visits from Nebraska.

After he brought me the wrong thing (I still haven't used up all that tile cleaner), I sent him a picture next time so he'd get it right. That's Fanny in the picture, wanting to know what's so special about this bottle that I'm using up valuable memory card space on it instead of on her. Ha!

There is also a Tao way to go to the bathroom. You have to put your feet up on the seat and push your hindparts forward and low in order to make your intestines (or the important part, I guess) vertical and wrap your arms around your legs. In my Taoist book of living they have illustrations, even! Also plans for making a toilet platform to stand on instead of the seat.

I think it's actually preferable to cop a squat over a hole in the dirt, but they begrudgingly give adaptions for those who don't want to part with their indoor plumbing.
