Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 30, 2018

Leave it up. Women don’t exactly sit; they hover.

Sorry Pig. TMI.

Men should learn to pee sitting down…………at least at night.

Um… Pig never accidentally walked into a bathroom where Pigita was using it?

Men are Pointers, women are Setters.

Men can pee in a beer bottle and not get their fingers wet…women can’t.

But if you never raise it, they will still complain.

Anyway you leave the toilet seat women will always blame men .

Pigs, female or male, don’t do either; they just pee in place.

“Mysterious” is a good start at a description but it lacks depth.

I saw a questionnaire once about leaving the seat up. This was the scoring:

If you leave the seat up: -20 points.

If you always put it back down: 0 points.

Do unisex bathrooms not have urinals? If men only use the actual toilets while sitting down themselves, this becomes a non issue.

Both Pig and Goat’s cup handles switch direction between the 2nd and 3rd panel. Goat’s teabag, however, remains facing the viewer.

Hang in there Pig ….. As Red Green said …We are all in this together ;-)

I’ve always maintained that if the feminists had their way, little boys would have to squat to pee. OTOH, being NOT a little boy, and quite lazy when it come to housekeeping and other things, I always sit to pee on the theory that why should one do something standing up when it can be done sitting down…

Holy crap, they must be aliens!

If the toilet has a lid, put it down. That’s what it’s there for, and everybody has to opne/close it when they use it.

Keep the seat down, always.

Seat down and lid down!!!!! All the other options are for the hillbillies. :D

Consider this: If the seat is up, you know the guy wasn’t trying to be a ‘sharpshooter.’

Either way someone’s going to have to move that seat. Either that or the women are going to have to hope that the last man in there didn’t simply point and hope…

The ultimate responsibility for the seat’s position rests with whoever is about to use it…

Hold on one minute! I saw the bathroom scene from “The Full Monty” and those women sure weren’t sitting down!

My three-year-old granddaughter tried to pee standing because her brother does. I had to give her a simple explanation about why that wouldn’t work.

Just think it’s fascinating that this comment (already!) has set a record for the most comments. BTW I never use the unisex bathroom — I’m not unisex.

Leave it down, but pee on it first.

Always leave it up. A lot of dudes will pee on the seat out of laziness.

Less mysterious since the Brazilian

I’m a man. I always out the seat AND the lid. I don’t know any women who do that.I’ve learned to live with it!

Well, do women lift the seat when they’re done, just in case the next occupant is a man?

It bothers me that women actually sit on the toilet without looking at the seat first. Why would you do that?

Oh, great: as unisex bathrooms become more of a thing, how much do you want to bet we’ll be subjected to whining about that?

At my house I put the ring AND the lid down …. always surprises my wife at night!

But cabbies from certain unnamed countries pee standing up while the seat is down! In such restrooms the proper position of the seat is up, unless persons of either sex enjoy wiping the seat. Eeeww! Gross!

Pig, that is only the bginning the the mysterious ways of women!

I guess Pig never got past first base.

Be an adult. It isn’t hard. If you want it up, put it up. If you want it down, put it down. If you women like it down, put it down before sitting. Not really difficult.

Maybe, just maybe everyone should be respectful of others and not leave a biohazard let alone a mess. It ain’t difficult to keep the bathroom clean but it’s a royal pain to clean it up after some moron so one and all, please don’t be an a**. BTW cute cartoon.

Leave it down. Everyone has to sit sometime.

Today’s comments are brought to you by Depends™, the best way to pee.

I just try to avoid public restrooms like the plague.

It must be nice to have such problems seen as being important.

Stephan, what’s happened to the Crocs? Have you stopped them drawing for fear of offending some group?

I get all my anatomy lessons from the comics.

Everyone should leave the seat and the lid down. It’s only fair that women should have to do the extra step too, and it’s more attractive, and cats like to sit on the lid.

Someone should put a pedal bin mechanism on toilet seats.

In the interest of efficiency leave it wherever it is when you are done. There’s a 50% chance it will be right for the next person. Why put it down and just have the next person have to put it back up again. Makes no sense.

First, why do they make seats and lids for toilets if people don’t use them? Personally I like the lid (and seat) down on the toilets in my house. Secondly, there are usually urinals for men in public restrooms, so very few times do they need to use the toilet for #1, thus no need to lift the seat (that usually has a split anyway) and if you do lift it PUT IT BACK DOWN, out of common courtesy. The unisex restrooms I used while in Oregon had both sets of fixtures.

Seat AND lid down: equal opportunity inconvenience, and keeps kids and pets out.

I put it down, after wiping off if necessary.

You’re welcome, ladies!

there truly is no hope for humanity if we still haven’t figure this one out yet.

My bride and I have four sons. She said she was always happy to find the seat up because it meant no one had whizzed on it.

I am a woman, and I’ve never hovered. I can’t speak for every other woman on the planet, of course, but then, I have always been uncomfortable with blanket statements; they smack of an -ism (in this case, sexism).

I always flush!

The seat up/seat down thing in my house was answered the day the cat fell in the toilet. After that, seat AND lid were down at all times.

Women should put it up when they are done.

Well this was a pleasant comic to read

what’s worse than a man who doesn’t put the seat back down? a guy who doesn’t pick it up

OMG! Poor, ignorant Pig!

This whole comment-generating controversy is meaningless for the obsessively-clean neat-freaks, who may be among us….

My hobby is sneaking into women’s restrooms and putting all the seats up.

Women pee sitting down??? FAKE NEWS, delivered by the lying liberal news media! (Joshing, thought a tRump-ism would work here as a spin)

Just for everyone who wants the lid down as well: that’s great in some climates, but in humid areas, that can lead to some nastiness growing in the bowl. So some places it’s fine to use the lid, others, it’s gonna make things get real bad.

Stand up: seat up.

I’m more worried about a communal bathroom

THAT’S why Goat feels like Pig didn’t get a full education?

Men sit down occasionally as well! You can’t convince me that a man would enjoy sitting on cold porcelain instead of a seat!
