... shouldn't women put the toilet seat up for us after they finish?

I mean, in the name of equality and all.

How can one tell who is going to use the toilet afterwards?

The toilet looks much neater when the seat is down, so just leave it down and put it up when needed.

How about we meet in the middle? Men have to lift the seat for themselves, so the women should agree to lower it for themselves. Personally, I always lower the seat and close the lid, just because of what the mythbusters taught me. I don't want bacteria from the toilet landing on my toothbrush.

Me and boyfriend decided it by who is more fucked-over if the seat is accidentally in the wrong place.

He may pee on the seat, I may break my butt.

So he puts the seat down. He hardly ever remembers but he tries to.

This comment was made in light-heartedness. Stop taking things so seriously, and stop quoting me you toilet-obsessed weirdos!

Hey, men need to sit down sometimes, and women tend to pee more often. So really, that system doesn't work out even.

I always put the seat down.

At first it was because my wife growled at me because it looked "untidy" when it was up and now it's because we have cats that think swimming in the toilet is fun.

How does she know that a guy is going to use the toliet next that if there is another woman in the house/ building?
Beside how hard does it take to lift the seat up? And what you only loose a second or two to lift it? Ok sure there are time when it's a emergency (stomach related problem) but I hardly think it will be a split second sort of thing.

The only reason there's a rule in my house that toilet seat and cover must be down is because my cat is literally going to go for a swim. He'll be happily sploshing all over the place and with best of luck, he's using his own toilet afterwards. Which means mud everywhere after the litter gets wet and sticks to his fur...

Other than that I don't give a flying fuck how the toilet seat is left (if I had no cat that would take baths in the toilet that is). I leave it down (being a woman and sitting down for a pee) and men generally leave it up. I put it down and he lifts it up, equal enough for me.

I put the seat and the lid down. Ha, now both genders have to do work. Equality ensues. You're welcome, world!

The main argument is that if the seat's down men just risk getting pee on the seat but if the seat's up women (or men who need to poop!) risk falling into the toilet.

Personally I don't give a crap (well, I might in the literal sense of the word) if someone's left the seat up, it takes two seconds to put it back down again, and no I'm not lifting it up afterwards on the offchance that the next person to use it will be a guy.

I also don't really get why most guys stand up to pee, you know if you sit down you don't need to aim and you get a short rest. Standing is a hassle, surely.

Yup, this is what I do.
I don't even keep my toothbrush in the same room as the toilet, but I do it anyways because I don't want myself to be covered in a spray of poo particles.

First of all, it's a good bit faster. You don't have to pull your pants down, you can just fling your dick out.
And if you sit down, there's the risk of your dick touching the toilet bowl, which is just uncomfortable. And if your dick is too close to the toilet bowl, the piss may splash back after hitting the porcelain, spraying your crotch with a fine mist of urine.

And personally, for some reason, if I sit down to take a piss I always feel like I didn't completely finish. Like there's something left.

And sitting down to take a piss doesn't feel like a rest. You're just sitting there leaning forward for 30 seconds, slightly tense. It's faaar more relaxing to just whip out the one eyed trouser penis and lean back for a bit.

Plus, I'm pretty sure it's instinctual. In nature you can just pee wherever, barely stopping whatever you're doing to do so. Men don't sit down to pee in their natural environment, because there is no reason to, and doing so would leave you vulnerable to predators.

Started the habit when I still lived with family, but it carried over now that I have a male roommate.

I don't get this "problem"
why would you stand to pee when you can sit in the first place?

Depends how endowed you are? :p

Also depends on the shape of the toilet (and of course the correct version is the British one, where there isn't a fucking lake of water five inches below your ass like in America and a waterless shelf in the bowl for your deuce to sit on like in Germany.) :D

As for not misting yourself in urine, there's still a risk of that with a urinal. I seem to recall some urinals were marketed with a fly painted on one side of the bowl, possibly to minimise sprayage.

Some of your phrasing seems a tad redundant :D

Because staining an area with your hormone-laden piss sure wouldn't tip them off :p

Why does anyone need to do something for the other? Can people really not look at what they're gonna sit on or do with a toilet before peeing/pooing?

Seriously, some people are just lazy and it's unfair that women just expect for men to do it for them.

And how the blood flow is going at the time.
That's the double edged sword of morning wood, isn't it? You daren't stand up and try to aim, but sitting down you have to wrestle your dick into the bowl.
[sub]Might be exaggerating a little bit, but whatever.[/sub]

Those German toilets look fucked up, man.
What's the deal with those? Are they for, like, stool inspection or something?
Or is it just to keep water from splashing up in your ass? Which I'd agree is a noble endavour, but I'm not sure I agree with their methods.

As for the urinal, I think that depends on the model. In any case, I always manage to angle my stream in such a way that it doesn't spray back on me.

I just got this sudden urge to rip off smbc for some reason...

Ah no, that's not what I mean.
Any predator would of course be able to detect the smell regardless of whether you sit or stand, but standing up you're ready to bolt or defend yourself as need be at a moment's notice. There is a reason "hunched on the ground" isn't a fighting stance in the major martial arts.
Doesn't take much for a vicious housecat to sink its fangs into your neck if you're taking a shit.

Down's just kinda the default place. Hell, I live in a flat with only males, and we put the seat down. After all, we can't s*** squatting. Well...you could try, but the result would probably look like an incident at a wonka factory. Only smellier.
