- I never did understand why it was supposed to be MEN that were responsible
- for the keeping of the toilet seat! Some women consistently complain (note
- the SOME) when men leave the seat up, and also complain when men don't put
- the seat up to begin with. Now I find the second disgusting, no one wants
- to sit on a wet toilet seat. But if the last person in the bathroom was
- female, the men are expected to lift the seat.

- OK, I didn't post this last time it came around, but here is the

- As an historical note, I left a military sub-contractor (which is why
- the notice is cast in Milspeak) and lived for 3 weeks with a friend of

- NOTICE TO USERS
-
- The Water Closet Site Administrator (WCSITADMIN) for this
- commode equipment unit has elected a Most Recently Used (MRU)
- protocol with regard to the seat placement for the equipments
- at this site.
-
- All users are requested to make determination as to their
- gender and intended use before attempting to use these equipments.
- Users should then determine the desired seat placement, based on
- this information, and chart 1, attached. Having made this deter-
- mination, users should compare the actual seat placement, as
- determined by direct observation, with the desired seat placement
- determined above, and take the appropriate action, based on chart
- 2, attached.
-
- It should be noted that the MRU protocol confers the following
- advantages vice the more commonly attempted INTHAMITH protocol:
-
- Worst-case turn-around is improved, as in no case are
- two seat-adjustments required.
-
- Worst-case throughput is improved, for above reasons.
-
- Average-case throughput (random gender and use) is
- improved, as no compensating adjustments are performed.
-
- Average-case throughput as measured is improved due to
- uneven gender distribution among users of a given equipment.
-
- Wear and tear on the adjustment mechanism is reduced,
- yielding a greater MTBF.
-
- User feedback is immediate and automatic, yielding a
- higher compliance rate.
-
- Comments should be addressed to the WCSITADMIN.
