    Apparently so.

    It's weird, but human nature is usually wired to take the path of less resistance or effort. In essence, we are programmed to be lazy.

    Hence, why do men stand up, exerting additional effort that is completely unnecessary ?

    After all, we're meant to be the lazy gender, so it doesn't compute.

    I think it's something to do with the "Ladies do it sitting down, so if you do it sitting down, you must be a lady. You are denying your god-given masculinity by not waving your penis all over the bathroom and hosing everything in sight".

    Some of us do.

    I'm on my feet all day, so I'll gladly take any chance to have a sit for a few minutes, regardless of which "toilet operation" I need to perform.

    Not really. In the first world many providers give you discount or even free rates when calling in-network.

    I know a person who gets their food delivered, and uses a barcode reader to scan the items in to their cupboards, so that they can put the items in to an Access database for inventory purposes.

    I guess it must be very important to know how many tins of baked beans and prunes one has at any one time.

    Just imagine the chaos and carnage if you ran out.
