You know, vesta, madam, there's a downside to this too.
One is supposed to acquire immunity to some things while living life.
This is a rare example, but anyway, polio was unheard-of during the middle ages and renaissance. It's been theorized that people acquired immunity to it through the lack of public sanitation.
I perhaps shouldn't tell you this, but males of any age have a habit of, when guzzling down the most perfect of all foods, milk, and no one is looking, straight from the one-gallon bottle. It avoids using a glass that must be washed.
When I was in college, and living in a party house with five other guys for a couple of years, this was a common occurrence, and obviously we had acquired some sort of immunity to each other's germs.
However, we did have manners born of good breeding; guests were offered milk from unopened (until served) milk bottles untouched by human lips.
That being said, myself having grown up around a hospital environment, I prefer things to be sparkling clean and with a slight whiff of hospital antiseptics in the air. When it comes to appliances and other fixtures (such as what one finds in bathrooms), I prefer those to be white or at least stainless-steel (sinks, for example). And for me, glass is preferable to metal, when it comes to cookingware.
One thing that drives me nuts is when women--and they are, invariably, women--put those carpet-like things on the lid of the commode. Besides making it a nuisance for one of the male gender to empty his bladder (one has to actually hold the lid and seat up), those rug-like covers harbor lots and lots and lots of germs and other stuff.
Rugs on bathroom floors, too--that's a no-no.
Just a wild thought Frank but why do today's men need to stand up to pee.?
Only reason I can see that woman from a by-gone era could not march into battle--unless they were Joan o'arc was because men could be kept moving on the march and had no reason to stop, just point and shoot from the saddle.
In today's world where except in the military that spent big bucks trying to find a way for females to pee standing up, why do men have to stand tall and make a mess of bathrooms?
Give me a break, my boys bathroom had to be cleaned every freaking day, floor, toilet, seat and sometimes knows the walls as they practiced their aim. Not to mention the replacement of the window screens in their room when they awakened ready to go but wanted to get it over with quick.
Girls bathroom, once a week, swab the floor, wipe down the toilet----no problem.
How much easier it would be if men just took the time to freaking sit down, no mess anywhere, floor clean and no worry about making a mess of the toilet seat cover.
There are times when a woman has to pee standing, most of us have figured out how to do so without gettin our shoe full of piss.
So why would any man not in the military or on African Surfari need to stand.?
You complain about woman that try to decorate a bathroom because some man may come in and make it nasty. Woman are not going to pee on the closed lid but men may hit the sides of the padding so it is now the womans fault.?
Thank the Lord I am not a feminist Frank, if I were I would attack wondering why if a woman decorates her bathroom men have the right to complain because they piss all over the decorations then blame the woman for placing them there.
Have you any idea what would do if woman decided to pee standing up in your home?
