Pooing is either cool or creepy....

[1995hoo]

So Ms1995hoo periodically complains when she goes to the loo late at night and fails to verify whether the seat is up.

Problem solved with the GlowBowl. $20 on Amazon and it just came today. It clips to the side of the toilet, uses three AAA batteries, and has both a motion sensor and a light sensor so it only comes on at night when needed.

....and you can set it to change colors every four seconds.

I have not yet tried taking a dump on it in the dark and thus have not yet determined whether it's creepy to have a light underneath your arse changing color every four seconds. Guess it will matter more for my wife–if I have to sit during the night, I go to the other bathroom down the hall so I can turn on the light to read without disturbing her.

I'm going with "creepy".

For some reason Poltergeist comes to mind; especially all those scenes where there was a portal or something in a room or closet.

Seriously, why?

BTW, I'm sure nobody will object if I refrain from taking any photos while sitting there!

....

Seriously, why?

For the reason stated in the original post. One of the guys at the office saw this thing online and we were all laughing about it. Then I showed it to my wife and she wanted one. We were ordering something else from Amazon anyway, so we got free shipping, and I said why not. If it stops her from complaining about the seat, it'll be well worth it. I do not understand why some women seem to be incapable of checking whether the seat is up or down, but whatever....

We were considering a light-up seat when we replaced our toilet seat recently. But, between the limited options, the high price tag, the fact that we already have a night light, and that we know where the toilet is being we've been in the house for 15 years, we decided to go the normal route.

I don't leave the seat up often. When I do, I'm sure to hear about it though.

Males are the minority in my family (4 sisters, 0 bros) & 3 daughters, 0 sons so far. So I put the seat down w/out a thought, even in public restrooms & other peoples homes.

I poo by moonlight. The main nighttime can is in the bathroom with a skylight.

Never would have even crossed my mind. I've never really listened to his music. I know a few of the songs, but I just never became a fan.

BTW, it occurs to me this is a whole new meaning for "Purple Rain."

I'm still amazed women don't look before sitting down somewhere.  They must sit in all sorts of unexpected stuff.

I thought this meme would be appropriate for this thread.

I wasn't a fan either.

Definitely going with "cool". I want one.

Original post lists the product name and where I bought it.

So I noticed.

Alas, I would presume the desired effect won't quite be achieved if the toilet and seat are some color other than white or gray... which is the case in my bathroom.

I probably wouldn't actually buy one anyway. My desire to own things that look cool is usually overruled by my desire to not spend money on items I have no functional use for.

In all honesty, if I wasn't a poor grad student, I'd buy one. Might buy it anyway. That and the LED showerhead that changes color based on temperature.

RPI social media had somebody using "purple rain" in that light shortly after his death was announced. Leave it to a bunch of engineers to make that reference.

One of the local weathermen made the rain purple when showing radar last week.

Yeah, I know. Can't take half a second to look?

When I was in Hampton yesterday, I stopped for lunch and used the bathroom. I heard from one of the stalls a guy singing Purple Rain at the top of his lungs while using the toilet.

Wasn't there an episode of "America's Funniest Home Videos" where a couple of toddlers flushed a flashlight (that was on) down the toilet?

My wife says there used to be a woman at her office who would sing while using the toilet. We presumed it was to cover up bodily noises.
