A Claustrophobic's rest room at about MP 9 on the Klickitat Trail.
Well, at least somebody remembered to put the seat down... ;)

It would be most efficient to just leave the seat in whatever position you just used it

Let's say a man bought into the "leave the seat down" theory, used it for #1, put seat down, and had to then do #1 again? He'de have to do an un-necesary cycle of putting seat down, then up. As some men get older, this happens with higher frequency.

On an un-related note, why is my wife always angry at me? :D

Now all we need is an 'expert' to calculate how many person-hours are 'lost' each year due to inefficient lid-fiddling. Then we can calculate how this loss diminishes GDP by X millions of dollars per year. Then this number can be cited in appropriate memos to be circulated at the office. :D

I have found that the highest level of time efficiency return, as relates to toilet seat positioning, is to leave it in the position that I'm least likely to get yelled at for. :ugeek:

Very simple math. 8-)

Here's a special restroom. A Loo for two!

I like that each seat has a different view. This is in the Tualatin Hills above Scapoose.

So I was cruising along and looked up into the clear cut and saw this:

Cropped, you can make out a skull that's eerily similar to The Punisher's logo.

But even weirder was the man headed down the trail in a leotard, yesterday's makeup and a wig. Possibly to retrieve the shoe? :shock:
