Dog Stays in the Picture (2014)
“Bookends We’re leery of these toilets.
When you approach the one in our hotel bathroom, the lid lifts automatically. I find this kind of charming; I’ve been missing Lilly again, and being greeted by our toilet each morning is like waking up to a cheerful new kind of pet.
David, however, feels personally threatened—I think he’d rather make his own choices about the orientation of his toilet lids. He may be messing with this one a little, sending mixed signals, possibly sneaking around th...e perimeter of the room on entry so as not to trigger the sensors. While he was brushing his teeth last night he says he was distracted by a whirring noise coming from behind. When he turned around, he caught the lid of the john in the act of opening, which he found sort of presumptuous; he’d been in the bathroom for quite a while and had given no indication of any interest in using the toilet. When he tried closing the lid manually, he claims the thing resisted, and somehow during the scuffle it slammed down rather abruptly on his hand, and refused to open.MoreLess
