    but their “old lady” is their wife?

    No married man calls his wife old, not if he ever wants to have sex again with her.

    That, and leaving the toilet seat up.

    Edit: And apparently once again I’ve tapped into an unexpected conflict point in our society. 😋

      “old lady” absolutely is slang for wife. Also “ball and chain” which… yeah…

        “old lady” absolutely is slang for wife.

        I know it exists, but I’ve never used it.

        Also, I was just being more humorous, than literal, hence the toilet seat comment.

        Being serious for a moment, IMO, it sends one hell of a negative signal to your significant other, to your dissatisfaction of them, which I’ve never felt for my own wife.

        Edit: …

        And for those of you who may disagree with me, ask yourself this. Is your wife actually okay with you using that slang, or do they just act like they’re okay, but inside it bothers them? Do they see it as a term of endearment, or as a reminder of reality?

        Reminding your wife that she’s old, even playfully, may not be something she wants to hear.

        And generally speaking, women seem to care more about aging than men do. That’s why when someone asks you how old your wife is, when she is in earshot, you always say 18, or at the very least 21! 😜

      Toilet seat belongs down - and the lid with it! It’s not only logical, but also just.

        The thing is, at least in our household, the lid has to stay up.

        I actually thought as you do, as that would be a perfect compromise, both parties would have to work to use the toilet.

        But from what I’m told, is the late night half asleep moments where you forget to put the seat down, and you fall down into the toilet, that is being prevented by making sure the seats always down and the lid is always up.

        It’s a low hanging fruit way of maritial bliss, so I go with it.

          That makes no sense to me tbh. If you are trained to keep the lid down, you are alerted immediately that something is off if the seat is up - you clearly see into the toilet and see that someone forgot to put it down.

          If you are trained to only have the seat down and lid up, then the change between seat up and down is not significant enough to notice and stop muscle memory to sit and fall in.

          Maybe I’m not understanding you but lid down is a foolproof way to not fall in from my perspective. My wife converted to the lid down way and doesn’t complain

            You consider lid down to be foolproof, but I’d say seat down is also foolproof if your eyes aren’t absolutely horrible.

            My wife always forgets when she gets up in the middle of the night, and falls in, or sits on the lid and has to get up and put the lit up and seat down herself.

            So she asks me to always make sure to put the seat down for her, something that I’m happy to do, as a happy wife is a happy life.

                  So you can have the lid down while seat is up? Then what you said before makes much more sense. Though not sure what purpose this feature brings. Or how that would even lool like, never seen anything like that.

                    Are you trying to be purposely obtuse, or intellectually dishonest?

                    Or are you trying to let me know I have a typo somewhere in one of my earlier comments, without actually explicitly saying so?

                    Or do you have a magic toilet where urine can pass through the lid when its down?

      I’ve had this happen to me. I suspect it’s one sad MRA type with a pile of accounts bringing the downvotes. He can sense when I post anything remotely respectful of women because his pee pee hurts. 😆

        If true, I’d feel really sad for that person, in a go outside and touch grass sort of way.

        Honestly, at this point I expect the large amount of downvotes for anything I post. I’ve had that happen to a post where I just said “Thanks” and nothing else. Its sad, and I’d wish the Lemmy admins would catch that sort of thing more often (understanding that they are volunteers, but still), as it doesn’t make my experience here on Lemmy any better than when I was on Reddit.
