The couple the goes to the toilet together stays together? That’s right, we’re kicking off with one of our usual classy discussions: if you don’t go to the loo in front of your partner, are you less close than the couple that does? We’re also talking about how rude Australians are (perceived to be) in the office; and Steven’s inconsiderate neighbour who parks half a kilometre from the kerb.It’s a bumper episode so please don’t forget to tell us what you think, either via a comment on this blog or by joining our Facebook group. Then again, if it’s all too puerile for you, head directly to The Manners Cast, the classy show we should aspire to be.

(Yes, I was already tapping out my comment on double dumping when Todd suggested I do so….)
re double dumping:
So, Todd: taking a dump together is what makes your relationship “work”?
Two issues… who are these folks to treat another person’s attitude toward mutual excretion as “wrong”? C’mon!!!!
Other issue: is it appropriate to double dump? I don’t mind so much, but in my couple, excretion is private, because BF doesn’t care to share the experience. This is kind of odd, since we each pee in front of other men at the urinals. But BF doesn’t care to pee in my presence. He’ll wait to take a leak until I’ve finished brushing my teeth, rather than pee with me in the room.
We do engage in consensual toenail clipping. But only when Sex and the City is on. Thank god for reruns…
re thank you cards
Mass-produced cards waiting for you at the banquet table?????? Who are these people????
I do support Steven a bit in the “thank you notes are a chore” matter. It is indeed a chore, and that makes Steven’s commitment to proper behavior all the more meritorious. So how to make it less of a chore? Maybe think about the number of people who shared your joy (à la Rhylla)? And how about taking the need for a personal comment as an opportunity to reflect on the particular thoughtfulness of the giver (hence the proscription against just giving a check)?
re parking violation:
Who’s it really bothering? I think this is more a risk for the car owner. How about renting a Hummer (make sure you pay a bit extra to get a low deductible on the insurance) and “accidentally” sideswiping the offending vehicle?
But really, it’s not on to denounce your neighbour before giving him a chance to fix the sitch.
re Todd’s contribution:
It’s just not fair to assault Todd for not supplying topics when we all know Steven wouldn’t let him discuss them anyway.
re swearing:
Can you please post the video of the sexy guy?
general comment:
You need a vocabulary section. I would nominate “Fossicking around the groin area” for such a hall of fame.

OMG I am soooooooooooooooooooo sorry.
I have a new computer and that was a default message sent from my e-mail address.
I would NEVER intentionally block YOU!
