Four men and one woman
The men of the house sat in the little living room. It was Sunday, a sunny and hot day. One of those rare days when everybody had the day off. They drank Dharma beer and played chess. They spoke loudly and they laughed. But in a moment of silence, they heard a scream coming from the inside of the house. In the same second, James raised himself. But before he or any of them could indentify from where the sound was coming, Juliet appeared in the room, wearing only her bathrobe
"Which of you did this?!"
She was furious. None of them had ever seen her like this (not even during PMS): Her face was twisted in fury, her ears were read. James took that as a bad omen. He looked at his friends. Everybody had their heads down, looking at the ground. They were afraid of her. Even he was kind of afraid of her.
"Hum... What Juliet?!" he asked.
"Which of you left the toilet bowl open?"
They remained in a total and deadly silence.
"Why can't you understand that you live with a woman?! Which of you geniuses here left the seat of the toiletraised and made me fall in there, huh?!" She looked at the men in front of her.
They held their laughter. They knew that laughing would lead to their death sentence. But Miles couldn't hold it long and let loose an almost inaudible, nasal giggle. Almost inaudible.
"It was you, Miles?!"
But unfortunately, Juliet heard. Poor man... He denied, quick and frantically.
"Then who was it, huh?! It's not that difficult, you know? I'm going to show you..."
She walked quickly in the direction of the bathroom. The men followed her without even thinking about it. They were afraid of losing their life if they disagreed with her.
"Look." She stops beside the toilet. "It's NOT that difficult." She spoke everything as she was speaking to children, but her voice still retained a tone of irritation. "You raise it and afterward you lower it." She demonstrated. "See it?! Again, it raises and lowers."
If she wasn't so irritated, James would have probably gone by now. But he didn't blame her for being like this. He would have already killed someone if he had fallen in the toilet bowl...
"Do you understand?"
When everybody agreed, Juliet pushed them out of the room and closed the door with a crash. Some seconds afterward, they heard the noise of the shower being turned on and water hitting the ground. They were still there, standing facing the door, in silence.
"Which of you left the cover open?" Miles asked.
"I did..." James answered, whispering.
"Well, you know if she finds out, she's going to…"
"Yeah."
"I think no one of us should leave the seat raised ag..."
"Yeah."
"She was very..."
"Yeah."
"You want to go back and drink?"
"Yeah."
They looked at each other and James could see the same expression that, probably, was in his face. Everybody was very frightened. Miles was even a little pale. James did a mental note to never make Juliet irritated again.
