It is an issue I have with my sister-in-law.

She insists that toilet seats should be left down after a man has been using the 'stand up pee' function the toilet offers.

I come from a house of equil opportunity, if the seat was up - it was up - if down - down.

I do not feel that the liberty of a man leaving the toilet seat up should ever be questioned.

Indeed the UN should put a motion that toilet seats should be treated equally either up or down.

So the question is people... TOILET SEAT - UP OR DOWN?

This should be moved to the general forum.

Thats just stupid........ just leave it how it is and if some one doesnt like it they can change it position. If the seat is down when I go to take a leak I dont usually bother lifting it.... I can actually aim my utensil unlike alot of people.

I've always wondered about this issue. Long has there been the issue that the seat should be put down. I've always wondered, why?

So the woman doesn't fall in.

Doesn't that just show a lack of paying attention. If the guy doesn't pay attention and pee's on the seat, then its a horrible thing, yet if a woman doesn't pay attention and falls in, its the man's fault...does this mean that women are less intelligent and their mistakes are other people's faults?

Because its the neutral spot.

leaving it up means it just gets shifted down for women to use it. To put the seat down, on most seats means to put the lid on. Thus if a man needs to pee, then he lifts two things, a woman only lifts one, never two. So the neutral would be seat up, least work all the way around.

Solution, the famous seat that has a break in the front, never does the seat have to be moved. Just a lid put over the top.

The toilet seat has rather simple mechanics behind it. If you are unhappy with its current position, simply move it to one that is more suitable. If somebody doesn't like it, check to see that they are aware of how a toilet seat works. Some people are really that stupid.

Most people can do that. They just make them go up in case you're drunk.

Fair point. But persionally when im drunk I just go take a leak outside.... its easier that way any way.

I don't mind putting the seat back down so long as she puts it back up for me.

Eitherway, I think people that moan about that kinda thing need a good thwacking.

Do they have nothing better to do but complain about what angle a piece of plastic is resting?

I will not have Woman telling me how to pee. Someone doesnt like it that I pee? Someone is too lazy to put the toilet seat down or up, but not too lazy to come bitch at me for hours about how I do things? Fuck 'em! Next person complains about my toilet habits, BECOMES my next toilet!

You fail to understand women my friend.

See a guy goes the bathroom to do his business, he lifts if required, completes his business and then washes up and leaves.

A woman goes to the bathroom to seeking validity to their relationship, to see if he loves her. If the seat is up he does not care if she falls in and thus does not love her. ROTTEN PRICK! If the seat is down on the other hand either another woman used the facilities last ROTTEN PRICK! or he loves her as she fails to fall in. GOOD BOY! She then lowers the seat and washes up plotting. Does he love me? Is there another woman here? Does he care if I fall in?

I couldn't really care less what position the toilet seat is in as long as there isn't anything left on it from the previous user. That's just nasty.

...also, toilets should be flushed after use. I don't care what anyone says, it shouldn't be left to mellow. Mellowing equals smelly. :(

Oh, I understand women. Thats why I avoid "relationships" and situations like you described. Plus, I have freedom of urination.

If you have a septic tank you will understand that Yellow ... mellow is better than $6000.00 to dig uo the back yard and alot more smell than anyone deserves...

I haven't used a toilet standing up in years, and I've never used a urinal. I expect this will be useful someday. (Word Games, are you suggesting I might lead my friends' wives to think another woman had been using their toilets?)

Most people won't "fall in" even if the seat is up, though there is a danger of contact with the water, probably no worse than if it should splash.

The toilet in this house bubbles violently when flushed, so the seat and bath mat have to be moved well out of the way in preparation.

So the question is people... TOILET SEAT - UP OR DOWN?

When the man takes a leak it goes up, after he is done it goes down, and stays down! The toilet should never be unnatended with the seat left up. Always down, the only exceptions are:If you are throwing up, and if you are a man and pissing.

You underestimate the female mind.

*removes her white gloves before typing*

the PROPER thing to do when ones is done using the comode is to lower the seat (if it was raised) then close the lid. (and flush)

NO ONE should leave the toilet in any other condition.

the purpose of this?

I play this game according to the rules the women involved have placed on themselves.

If they tend to be the more feminist types, tell them they can put down the toilet seat themselves and pay for their own meals.

If they let you wear the pants, put down the toilet seat and don't bitch about it!
:D

Both! sometimes it's up, sometimes it's down.

the purpose of this?
propriety

propriety

If that were true there would be a spring...

Not a real strong spring though.. :eek:

if its up, women should be grateful that the "offender" was at least nice enough to raise it before emptying bladder. so, i say UP, that way i know the back of my thighs won't be lighting upon urine. i am also a germ freak, so, i flip the thing down with my foot. this should solve the argument. *looks hopeful*

i think not

why do you think it HAS a lid?

i dont invent the rules, im only informing you of them. it goes WAY beyond "up or down"

i think not

why do you think it HAS a lid?

It has a lid so one may close it if the tiolet malfunctions and fails to flush.

I think the reason women want you to put the seat down is because they think that you should be the one getting germs on your hands not her. If you want the toilet seat in another position you should be the one to move it. There is no need to be lazy.

yeah that too
"shudder"
don't we have to deal with enough germs without messing the toilet seat?

actually i have a wooden toilet seat so that even in the "dark" i can tell if its up or down. i REALLY hate it when i fall in in the middle of the night.

...also, toilets should be flushed after use. I don't care what anyone says, it shouldn't be left to mellow. Mellowing equals smelly. :("If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's Brown, flush it down!"

Important when somewhere with limited water supply *nod*

I live in a house with three males and one female.

That seat is staying up! :D

Although we have two bathrooms, so I think the other seat might be negotiable.

and you wonder why women say terrible things about men

You should put the toilet seat down after you use it out of consideration for the fact that while you are lucky enough to be able to pee standing up, we are not.

and you wonder why women say terrible things about menHey, I've turned up to my girlfriends work in a tux and sung to her on Valentines Day. The toilet in question is just used by me and my brother :p

Buggered if I'm going to be lumped in with a stereotype. :D

Ive always been of the belief that it should be put down and the lid as well

You should put the toilet seat down after you use it out of consideration for the fact that while you are lucky enough to be able to pee standing up, we are not.

What does that have to do with the seat? If its not in the right position to do your business, move it.

You expect us to move it.

Hmmm it sounds like your questioning the logic of a woman something that is highly dangerous as dangerous as an Italian M3? mine

It should be left down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cause teh majority oftimes it is used down. Women use it down all deh time, and men use it down when dey is pooping


so majority rules and teh toilet seat goes down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

to those who leave the seat up :gundge: :gundge:

It should be left down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cause teh majority oftimes it is used down. Women use it down all deh time, and men use it down when dey is pooping

Only because woman dont have the abiltiy to pee standing up we shouldnt be punished for that surely?

*Scratches Head*

Its also got me thinking about the washing of hands is it necasary?

Logic:

Woman urinates seat down.
Woman defecates seat down.
Man urinates seat up.
Man defecates seat down.

Seat needs to be down 75% of the time. Therefore, seat should be down.



Logic part two:
Very small children like to play in toilet water.
Small children love to drop things in toilet.
Small children love to flush things down toilet.
Dogs love to drink from toilet.
With seat and lid down, impossible to drop things from sink (like hairbrushes and such) into toilet.

Therefore: At least in houses with small kids and pets, seat and lid should be down.


However, logic is overridden by eminent domain:
If a man owns the house and no woman lives there: seat up
If a woman owns the house and no man lives there: seat down.
Married couple or couple living together: seat down, simply to prevent this argument so you can go on to more important arguments like Why You Must ReCap Toothpaste!! and Why Do You Talk To Me When Football Is On?!

;)

Prefer it all closed with the lid as well. In case there's any smells. After taking a dump, I usually spray my anti-smell spray into the toiilet bowl till it's all foggy, and close the lid. Keeps the smell in, and would eventually dissipate. Without spreading into the air and into the corridor.

Well, I'm a guy, and my female friends don't mind eitherwise up or down. Their not that anal retentive and go psycho over it. (Maybe it's because I'm living in a warm country, so their most likely not going to seat on cold and wet porcelain, only wet) Plus the lid's and all always down.

They prefer it down, but it's better up, so they don't fear they need to wipe it in case of guys with bad aim.

Women don't have the ability to pee standing, but they do have the ability to put the lid down. Yet...

Logic:

Woman urinates seat down.
Woman defecates seat down.
Man urinates seat up.
Man defecates seat down.

Seat needs to be down 75% of the time. Therefore, seat should be down.

Ah, but what about a house with uneven numbers of gender?

3 males, 1 female:

Woman urinates seat down.
Woman defecates seat down.
Man1 urinates seat up.
Man1 defecates seat down.
Man2 urinates seat up.
Man2 defecates seat down.
Man3 urinates seat up.
Man3 defecates seat down.

3/8 The odds of "Up" increase!!

And then if we consider that we have to urinate at least three times as often (conservative estimate) then it becomes 9/16.

56% Up!
The Boys Win!!!

(P.S I'm just pissing around, it's fun to devote a lot of time to stupid things...Especially when at work;))

Where do you work?

Where do you work?Lol, somewhere with not enough visitors to keep me busy and a computer right on the main desk :D

Logic:

Ahh, but the logic of this:
Woman lifts lid to urinate
Woman lifts lid to defecate
Man Lifts lid and seat to urinate
Man Lifts lid to defecate

There for, regardless of where you leave the seat, one sex has to do more work. Therefore, seat with whole in the front, and everybody is good to go.

I have small children, one not even 1 yet, and she has already learned how to open the toliet seat, so leaving it down doesn't do much. When she couldn't open the seat, her older sister, who just turned 2 would open it for her. To fix this is to just shut the door, issue solved.

The dog drinking from the toliet just saves me time, don't have a dog, but do have a cat, though they drink from the sink instead, so its still good.

poor dog will get thirsty

It is an issue I have with my sister-in-law.

She insists that toilet seats should be left down after a man has been using the 'stand up pee' function the toilet offers.

So the question is people... TOILET SEAT - UP OR DOWN?

Four simple rules for peaceful toilet use in the home.

1. Flush - EVERYTHING & COMPLETELY

2. Brush - If you are older than 3 no one in your home is interested in the state of your bowel movement.

3. Lift - If you stand to pee, so should the seat. NOTE: see #2 above

4. Close - Both the seat and the cover should be left in the neutral closed position. This is equal work for everyone. Your dog is the only one who can reasonably object.

I've always wondered about this issue. Long has there been the issue that the seat should be put down. I've always wondered, why?

. . . SNIP . . . Thus if a man needs to pee, then he lifts two things, a woman only lifts one, never two. So the neutral would be seat up, least work all the way around.

. . . SNIP . . .
This is the sole reason that God endued man with greater upper body strength.

Who cares how it is, it only takes a second to move.

If someone is too lazy to put it down that's their own damn problem.

I haven't used a toilet standing up in years, and I've never used a urinal. I expect this will be useful someday. (Word Games, are you suggesting I might lead my friends' wives to think another woman had been using their toilets?)

Bubbles Violently! What the heck do you people eat?

Actually, for safety reasons, several companies produce a toilet seat/lid lock, specifically so kids can't get into the toilet. The last thing they need is to get banged on the head with the seat and lid (mine's wood, btw -- HEAVY).

yeah, my brother's wife has one of them on their toilet, them locks....all I have to say is you better not really have to go at night or something, cause they can be tricky to get off. I'll keep with the shut door idea.

I was wondering when these would come to the thread, they always make me laugh, and to hear the testamonies about them crack me up to. Like the women talking about how guys give them scared looks when they walk up to a urinal and pee.

Actually, to get back to the original post: If it's your SISTER-IN-LAW'S house, then put the seat and lid down. Common courtesy, given you know it annoys her.

If it's YOUR HOUSE, do as you please.

Cracking us both up may be the sole reason that ever entered into my conciousness. Sorry I took so long, I'm getting older but I still aim to please.

Oh Gawd! I'm reverting to toilet humor although I still have some relief that it may just be this thread.

Ah, but what about a house with uneven numbers of gender?

:D :D

heh t's a funny one you are...
so based on these mathematical calculations, one might suggest that..eh..
the position of the toilet seat should be determined in each individual home based on the gender proportions in that household.
so if there are 3 females and 1 male, its obvious that the seat should be left down after toilet use by the male due to the female:male proportion being heavily weighed towards the female side.

etc..

so each family/ living arrangement must determine its own toilet seat position percentage of up to down based on the aforementioned proportions.

love cardi

ps: may your days be filled with urination and defecation in a toilet seat environment which pleases you! :p

You were saying? ;)
Please all you did was edit HEHE :p

You were saying? ;)
The reaity is i totally agree with you im just ....................................
Y'knw

Oh I have a great idea!. How about you put the seat where you need it and leave it where you need it for when you come back. If some one comes back 1st and wants it in a different position maybe they should just...... CHANGE IT!. Cant people use their heads or are they just lazy. Men could argue that women should leave the toilet seat up because thats how they need it to urinate. Get over yourselves no sex is superior and neither need people to do simple things like change a toilet seats position for them.

ps: may your days be filled with urination and defecation in a toilet seat environment which pleases you! :p That's the sweetest thing anyone's ever said to me! :D

It doesn't matter to me. Either way, they'll be piss everywhere :D.

Good lord. This arguement will go on forever. ;)

The choice is simple lads. If you want to score points with a woman, then put it down.

The equal rights arguement is lame. It's a matter of biology, they have to sit. There are many women that will tell you cold porcelin(sp) in the middle of the night will annoy them to no end.

I know its lame, but who cares.... we stand to piss why should we make extra effort to do some thing for them when they are the ones that need it.

So the question is people... TOILET SEAT - UP OR DOWN?
i did a project for bio class where we cultured bacteria found on surfaces in bathrooms, and the result made me a firm believer in LID DOWN. not just the seat, the LID of the toilet should always be closed when you flush. why? because bathrooms in which people left it open had (i'm not joking) 6 TIMES THE BACTERIA on the surfaces of their bathrooms, and that was after we cleaned all the bathrooms at time 0 to make the comparison valid...i can only imagine the long-term build up. this is due to the flushing action of the toilet flinging tiny droplets into the air, droplets that have all the toiletty goodness you would expect.

and when i say surfaces, i don't just mean the water tap and the hand towels, i also mean toothbrushes. do you really want to stand up for your "righ" to leave the seat up, if doing so means that you are flinging tiny particles of your own waste onto your toothbrush?

for me it's not about a battle of the sexes, it's about not wanting to brush my teeth with poo.

someone mentioned that you can by a toilet lid lock....

you really SHOULD get one, especially since the little one is already playing with the toilet. babies DROWN in the toilet. babies get their heads smashed. babies touch things then put their hands in their mouths.

OK but when we poo the lid is down...

<<< Guy, always seat down. And I go sitting down.

I dunno, just seems more convenient.

OK but when we poo the lid is down...
whoa, you have the lid down when you go poo?!

plus, do you really like the idea of brushing your teeth with a urine-covered toothbrush? i mean, it's not really any better than a poo-brush, is it?

i also liked the way my parents resolved the seat-up-or-down issue in their home:

whoever cleaned the bathroom most recently gets to decide if the seat gets left up or down. my dad decided he would much rather get to avoid cleaning the bathroom than get to leave the seat up :).

It is an issue I have with my sister-in-law.

She insists that toilet seats should be left down after a man has been using the 'stand up pee' function the toilet offers.

So the question is people... TOILET SEAT - UP OR DOWN?

Just tell her:

I'll make sure the seat is down after my visit as long as you make sure it is up after your visit!

I'd say put it down. You close the door when you leave the house, right? Turn the light off when you leave a room? Leave it the same way all the time, and a way that can be agreed upon, and you can go to the bathroom in pitch black. :D

Meh. I'm female and I really couldn't care less if a toilet seat is left up or down.

So the question is people... TOILET SEAT - UP OR DOWN?
In my opinion, it is woman's fault if she does not check the toilet seat before hand. And I leave my seat up all the time for my dog.

So.. putting it down will get you laid?

Hmmm
No theyll just making you think that :p

This whole argument stems from the fact that women don't understand simple mechanical principles. The one that comes immediately to mind is the function of a hinge. This wonderful little contraption allows allows two pieces of material to move, yet stay in a pre-determinded alignment. Doors work wonderfully with that device. So do toilet seats. If women just understood that toilet seats were hinged, they could close them when it becomes necessary.
