Poll: If I have to put the toilet seat down after use...

[Grey Day for Elcia]

I've sat on a toilet with the seat up (accidentally) and it didn't hurt. I don't see the issue.

I'm very disappointed to see that "No" has now slipped ahead of "Banana."

I really don't see why this has to be an 'issue'. It's a ridiculously small thing that has been made into a big thing for no reason. I guess just try and pay attention before you plop down on there? This is never an argument that my husband and I have ever had, why? Because it's such a non-issue that anyone who makes it one is, excuse my harsh words, a silly person ; man or woman.

No matter the gender, if it's up and you need it down, put it down. If it's down and you need it up, put it up. However, I would suggest both genders try to remember to put the seat and lid down before they flush for poo-particle reasons. If you forget, then you forget. Try to get it on the next go.

Moving the seat and lid only takes a second or two. Up, down! TA-DA! ...[small]silly people[/small]

Alright then, I didn't know that. In Canada and US, the toilets are usually in the same room as the bathtub.

it was the same on my end, i forgot that it's different in different countries, and that even though the US the UK and Australia all speak English, they still have different names for the same things

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.

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

Lol. You know a lot of animals use pee as a way to mark their territory right? Having the scent of pee all over the place actually scares off a lot of animals.

The ones that can kill you though, not so much, I suspect.

Probably not. (Altough a lot of the animals that can kill you do it themselves. - Lions, wolves... - actually, domestic cats and dogs are known for doing it too. And while a dog is a bit more ambiguous, cats are very much predators...)

Anyway, I don't think many animals will deliberately hunt humans. We're... Kind of dangerous. XD

Only women in my house so it's not an issue.

Things cannot fall into a closed toilet. That means I always put the lid down. The fact that it makes the females happy is just a coincidence.

When flushing the toilet, water, bacteria and the particles of whatever you've just flushed are sprayed around the room unless you put the lid down to contain it. What's the point in waiting around for it to finish flushing fully just to open the lid again?

If only men are going to use the toilet, leave the seat up. If you're in mixed company (aka a woman *might* use that toilet) seat goes down. Just be a gent about it.

As far as the principle of the matter I don't think it *really* matters where the seat is. I find women who complain in seriousness (aka not in a joking way) about the seat being up are being petty.

But if you are living with a lady friend/girlfriend/wife/fiancee/etc just leave it down after you're done, she should appreciate it.

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!

Do you keep your toilet paper hanging down from the front or the back!?

TELL ME! This will let us all know if you're a smooshy bunny or a boiling demon!
