How To Stop Leaving The Toilet Seat Up

Ladies, rockets coming back from the moon are supposed to splash down you are not. It's tough to make him change, but through the process of conditioning, you can stay dry.

Step 1: Conditioning

He might call it nagging, but you gotta let him know when he leaves the seat up. Eventually, he'll put it down just so he doesn't get yelled at.

Step 2: Create a Reminder

Put an object on the toilet that he can't miss. Take him in there and show it to him. Tell him that every time that he sees the object, the seat has to go down!

Step 3: Hammer it Home

Purchase an identical object, and every time he leaves the seat up, show him the object while you tell him to keep the seat down. Eventually, he'll associate the object with trouble and learn to keep that seat down. It's the kind of plan Mr. BF Skinner -the father of behaviorist psychology- would be proud of.
