uuummm no no please. What if I don't notice the lid is down when I make a half asleep trip to the bathroom. Oooops..

Between me and my husband I don't mind if he does not put the seat down. But he cannot leave the lid down.. He will be in the couch rest of our married life.

I have 4 low flush toilets and never have to double flush them unless the kid forgets to hit the lever. :P

LD, if you think guys are bad wander into a women's restroom. One day at work one of the ballasts blew and they asked me to replace it. I walked in and there was frigging TP everywhere, like a roll exploded.

I never washed my hands after taking a piss at the High School. Paper feels funny whenever you use it after drying off.

I also pee in the shower a lot. Somehow it just feels more satisfying than going in the toilet. :)

First, Dr. Casey, you will never be invited to my house. On the plus side, I'll never ask to use your shower.

Second, If you are having trouble with the proper function of a toilet seat, no matter how the last person left it, maybe indoor plumbing isn't for you.

The extra fiber is why we take three flushes. No need for more of that.

It's all washed away by the end of any shower I take, so feel free to use mine at any time.

Toilet seat issues, eh shark?

[diamondpete]

I can't believe I am posting on this thread- toliet issues - shit - pardon the pun. But actually I think the seat up seat down is a fuinny one a a clear case of the double standard.

MEN:
• Do not put the seat down: reason: lazy and inconsiderate

Women:
•Want the seat down because it is more convenient because when the use it they use it down: lazy? no give an explaination on that ( but read beelow first.

Men:
•If the seat is down, they urinate all over it: Too lazy, to lift it up, and not watching where they are going
.
Women: Want the seat down:
•If they wander into the toilet and dop not look before they sit down the could fall into the toilet (LMAO with that image!) Howevr this is a clearly diffeernet issue from men looking before they pee, and men being too lazy to reposition the seat.

Equality: Put the lid down.
Asthetically pleasing.
Safer for kids (less dropped items in the can), and pets (drinking).

Men: Seem to think this is "fair."
Women: Seem to think it is men just being "petty" (IMO)

BTW in case you are wondering id I am toliet repressed, I put the lid down (most times), but I have two boys and only one wife so the seat is often up ( I can blame the boys in a pinch- ha haha - evil laugh) and we outnumber my wife, and the three of us working together can beat her up if necessary.

PS I will open a real can of worms coming up- but for now I am off to the gym!!!! Odd thing to talk about on a fitness page LOL

[chris_f]

it takes just as much work to put the seat up as it does to put it down.

Men dont' want piss on the seats either cus then they'll have to sit on piss when the go to drop a deuce.

Women don't want to fall in the toilet, i get that. But i don't want to piss on the seat.

If i can lift it up, she can put it down. Pretty simple.

[RacerBill]

Pete has some very valid points, but I think the issue comes down to the fact that women often make it into an issue about "if he cares about me..." It's not, as we men tend to think, about the position of the toilet seat.

[Lost Dog]

Perhaps if the ladies knew that we put the public toilet seat up and down with the soles or our dirty shoes, they'd put them back up when they were done to save us the trouble. Do they really want to sit on everything I've walked in over the past few days?

By the Pete, I thought Japanese toilets didn't have seats.

That's happened to me plenty of times whenever I go to take a crap at night. It's not fun.

Many don't. They are squatters which are better for public toilets, but many places have western style toilets (most houses) and most have all kinds of cool gadgets, bidets, ass dryers, heated seats you name it. My wife's cousin has one that automatically lifts the lid when you walk into the can LOL.

Dr. Casey, Do you actually not look before you sit. I mean what if the lid was down too?

[Dr. Casey]

The vast majority of the time I do look. Regardless, I have gone to the bathroom many times in my life and the Law of Averages has worked against me a few of those times.

[Erika]

This proves that a man can't win. I say both lids need to go down no matter who you are. Ruma says keep the top one up if you don't want to sleep on the counch.

[RedWifey]

I agree with Erika--everybody puts all lids that are up, down. That way everybody gets to choose how many they lift and no one gets to be lazy.

[Lost Dog]

Public toilets usually don't have lids.

[RedWifey]

Some do, but you're right.

So stick with the urnal and you'll be ok; I'll stick with putting a seat cover down (or 2 or 3) and we'll all be good. Unless there's some reason you are using the unisex/family bathrooms exclusively???

[Lost Dog]

I'd love to have a urinal in my house. Not one of those wall hangers, either. Down to the floor, baby!

really? i prefer the hangers - i'm always afraid i'll splash my feet with the full wall ones!

[Dr. Casey]

That's the fun of it! We had full urinals at school, and sometimes I'd stick my foot in and ask myself, "Whose pee am I touching? A friend's? An enemy's? Someone who I will meet later on in life? Someone I will never know?"

I agree. It's rather unbelievable how lazy/uncourteous people can be when it comes to toilet seats. And everyone that says they don't even look??? What if you walk in and just start peeing all over the floor or the wall? It takes ZERO effort to look. If laziness was rated on a scale from 1 to 10, not looking at the toilet before you use it would be about a 50.
