She Recently Got Into An Argument With Her Roommate Because She Decided To Stop Telling Her Boyfriend To Put The Toilet Seat Down When He Visits Their Place
One of the most common things that men and women will fight about when living under the same roof is men forgetting to put the toilet seat down.
One young woman recently got into an argument with her roommate because she decided to stop telling her boyfriend to put the toilet seat down.
She’s 23 years old and lives with two other girls in their 20s, Kyla and Brie. They moved into their place five months ago and have been getting along really well. She sees them more as her friends than her roommates.
However, things have changed since she started having an issue with Kyla’s boyfriend, Jack.
Jack stays at their house multiple times a week, and whenever he uses the bathroom, he always leaves the toilet seat up.
“I’d been silently dealing with it and putting the seat down whenever I noticed he’d left it up, but it came to a head a couple of days ago,” she explained.
A few nights ago, she woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. She was half-asleep, so she didn’t notice that the toilet seat was left up and sat down on the edges of the cold toilet bowl, almost falling into the water.
It was an extremely unpleasant experience, one that many women living under the same roof as men have had. But that’s the thing, Jack technically doesn’t live in her house, so she had to say something.
When she first kindly asked him to remember to put the toilet seat down when he used their bathroom, he got super awkward and embarrassed. He said that he had only grown up with boys, so he has difficulty remembering to put it down.

“I told him I get it, but there are three women that live here, and it isn’t his own home,” she recalled.
“He needs to remember to put the seat down. He said he’d try.”
However, two weeks after she confronted him, Jack continued to leave the toilet seat up constantly.
Recently, when she saw the toilet seat up, she yelled out that he had forgotten to put the toilet seat down. She knew he’d hear her since Kyla’s bedroom is near the bathroom.
Then, Kyla came out and asked her to stop telling Jack to put the toilet seat up because it embarrasses him and makes him uncomfortable.
She told Kyla she wasn’t asking for much and that putting the toilet seat down in a house owned by three women was just common courtesy.
She also said that she found it disrespectful how Jack hadn’t been making any effort to fix his ways since she first confronted him.
Kyla said she should just continue to put the toilet seat down herself.
“I really don’t think I should have to touch a dirty toilet seat every time someone who doesn’t even live here forgets to put it down,” she explained.
Kyla told her to stop bringing up the toilet in front of Jack, and she refused. Instead, she said she’d continue to remind him every time he left the seat down.
Kyla called her petty and stormed out on her. Later that day, she got a text from Kyla telling her that Jack didn’t want to go over to their house anymore because she made him too uncomfortable and embarrassed over the toilet situation.
However, she only brought it up to Jack twice out of the many times he’s left the seat up.
Should she feel bad for making Jack uncomfortable, or is Kyla being unreasonable?
