But then Mrs. FFT mentioned that I peed standing up, and the C-monster would eventually do this, too (this sounds odd divorced from context, but whatever). The friend was aghast--her husband pees sitting down, and she was convinced that virtually all men did, too, for cleanliness reasons. Mrs. FFT relayed this to me, and my initial reaction was the opposite--while there are situations where some dudes pee sitting down, that would strike me as not the norm by a longshot. The friend's argument was basically that any guy who peed standing up was a neanderthal. Now, it's not like I follow friends around to see how they pee, so I couldnt say for certain that I was right, but I assumed it wasn't symptomatic of being a mouth-breather.
Long story short, this issue has come up several times since then. Mrs. FFT's friend insists that I'm the outlier, while her husband is the norm. I disagree, but wanted a sanity check to make sure I wasn't crazy. You guys have confirmed that I'm not way out in left field here, and it's her husband who is the weird one.
So thanks again, OC.
That dude is a vagina, and most likely has one.
