Why is it that women always carp about us men leaving the toilet seat up? Why can't they put it down when they need to use the pot and then put it up for us men? Why must men always be the ones to change the position of the seat?

Oh, and here is the reason we men should leave the seat up. :D

seat and lid down, it prevents a whole yucky-ness from flying into the air and all over creation when you flush

because if you're bursting it's still perfectly comfortable and possible to leave the seat down. you've got a smaller target and you may have to mop up some dribbles but it's no skin off your nose really. if a woman is really bursting and runs in and sits down without looking they end up sitting on the cold enamel, which is probably covered in piss and pubes if the men of the house aren't particularly sanitary. besides both sexes need the seat down to take a dump, so overall it makes sense to keep the seat down.

anyway, i always put the lid down too, because that's what it's for :rolleyes:

Well.....uh....

When you flush a toilet its supposed to go down the pipes not fly up into the bathroom. I can only assume you have a fucked up toilet.

I'm a guy and I hate the seat up at all times.

fecal coliforms make baby Jesus cry.

I don't make a big deal when my boyfriend leaves the seat up. It takes two seconds to put it down. However, I do try to leave the lid down anyway. My cats have recently decided that toilet water is a lot tastier than their own perfectly good drinking water.

When you flush a toilet its supposed to go down the pipes not fly up into the bathroom. I can only assume you have a fucked up toilet.

there is a fair amount of microscopic splash. If you flush with the lid up, a polluted plume of bacteria and water vapour erupts out of the flushing toilet bowl. The polluted water particles float for a few hours around your bathroom before they all land. Some of them will land on your tooth brush.

btw, I don't keep my toothbrush in the bathroom at all.

Glue the seat down. Any man should be able to make the shot, it's not that hard.

A lot of times it isn't a uniform straight stream.

(This is uncomfortable)

Too bad that water vapour also acts as a greenhouse gas...

My toilet seat is always down because - although I live alone - it's also me who'd have to clean it... so there: No Stehpisserei!

I cannot relate to your fears at all since I live in complete squalor. When I have top Ramen containers and beer cans filled with cigarette butts scattered all over my bedroom the last thing I'm going to be worried about are these vague "plumes of bacteria" that occur when I flush the toilet. Hell, if it didn't violate my lease I'd put a urinal in my bathroom. If it doesn't kill you or turn you into a vegetable it will only make you stronger.

Oh, I should also say I'm a guy and leave it up at all times after I had an unfortunate accident at my old apartment...

Down.
Men who want to use my toilet will have to sit down, simple as that.

there are bacteria everywhere, if you want a clean toothbrush you'd better keep it in a sterile environment.

i believe one of the greatest concentrations of bacteria are on your keyboard and mouse :p (100x the amount of bacteria on a toilet seat) link. (http://www.cnn.com/2004/HEALTH/12/13/cold.flu.desk/index.html)

fecal coliforms make baby Jesus cry.

Mythbusters proves you wrong, fecal cauliforms do their cauliformy thing seat down or up. Luckily they are also completely 100% harmless.

Well, there's several good reasons why toliet seats should be kept down by default:

1. It's more sanitary to have both the seat and lid down when flushing.
2. Everyone can use the toilet when the seat is down. Only one gender can use it when the seat is up.
3. I have never, ever met a guy who actually bothers to clean the edges of his toilet bowl. I'm sure such guys exist, but they seem to be rather rare. No one wants to see your months-old caked-on urine. If you must leave months-old caked-on urine there, you can at least have the decency to hide it from public view. :p

I am aware of that, and that's why I am addicted to washing my hands......well, it's either that or my OCD........hard to tell.

If the seat is down all the time, one gender must:

If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie.

3. I have never, ever met a guy who actually bothers to clean the edges of his toilet bowl.

Never met any men who are in the military?

Women need it down, men need it up. We have to put the damn thing up every time the women goes to the bathroom, so I dont see why they shouldnt get the same treatment. You want me to put it down after I go? Then put it up after you do.

*rambles on*

What? Do they actually teach them to sit down?
That would indeed be an argument for the military for once....

.... we actually have a thread on this?

I proclaim this "utterly pointless and borderline disgusting thread of the week". I've only seen one more utterly pointless and borderline disgusting thread before, and that one where someone (it may have been tink) was complaining about finding pubic hair in public computer terminal keyboards.

You do realise that there are about 40000 times the bacteria in your kitchen sink as in your toilet bowl? *heads off to find source*

Toilet seat is a long way down, it's less effort to push it down than to bend way the hell down there and pick it up.

Toilet LID down.

It never ceases to amaze me how big strong manly men bitch about having to lift or lower the seat. My whole life I have lived in homes where the toilet LID is to be closed between uses, and I've managed to lift and lower it without ever straining myself. Really, boys, it's not that hard.

Seat..!?! Who cares!
The parties I'm throwing, I'm just glad the lid is up when they do their business.

Men are perfectly capable of peeing sitting down. If they choose to stand up and therefore make a mess, it's clearly their responsibility to clean it up. :p

If it's not that hard then it doesn't really matter what position the seat is in does it?

They did a study and found the bacteria on the desk in the office is greater than the bacteria on a toilet. So, I guess we have to keep the lid down so we can put our lunch there while sitting on the floor in the toilet and eat our lunch. :eek:

Hello! Nice to meet you. :D:D:D

And another! :D

It'd be right hell to violently throw up to a bowl not properly cleaned! Hands touching and everything...

up or down should not matter.....a woman is as capable of lowering it as a man is to raise it....so if there is to be equality between the sexes then there should be no established position of the seat.....it is where it is and must be adjusted to make the latest user happy. end of story.

If it's not that hard then it doesn't really matter what position the seat is in does it?
It is polite to lower the lid. It only matters if you care about being polite and respectful. If you don't, then I'm sure you won't care.

Well, I did say there were bound to be a few such men out there. Glad to know I wasn't wrong. :)

seat and lid down, it prevents a whole yucky-ness from flying into the air and all over creation when you flush

totally agree. it stops smells and bacteria from spreading (as much as they would otherwise).


however i do agree that the stereotypical "men leaving the toilet seat up" thing is pretty stupid. women tend to leave it down, and that's no good for us blokes! (unless you have good aim...)

Seat and lid down. The only male in my house is a neutered tom cat; he thinks it's his duty to play in the toilet and make sure the toilet seat is wet. It takes less time to lift the lid than it does to wipe off the water.

I agree with Smunkee and Bottle. At my house we usually put the lid down.

Also, that way my cat won't be tempted to drink from it or swim in it. She already will drink water directly from the sink faucet and from the shower.

It is polite to lower the lid. It only matters if you care about being polite and respectful. If you don't, then I'm sure you won't care.

Wouldn't that depend on whose house you're in? If you're at a man's house who keeps the seat up would you keep it down after you've done your business?

I really couln't care less. I am perfectly capable of reaching down and changing the seat/lid position if necessary, just as everyone else is. That said, by default I put both down after use.

My wife finally trained me to leave the seat down - except for one night, where she duly got up in the night and automatically sat - without looking - only to discover I had forgotten my training :eek: . That incident really was the first test to our marriage and I still smart form the injuries inflicted on me now :eek: .

I say every user shoud thoroughly clean the toilet seat, Nay! the whole toilet after use... Because that yellowish residue under the toilet ring makes me ill! Or, or... we could all pee sitting down (or at least try to hit the target)!

I always leave the bottom lid down...

My wife and I have been married since 1968 and she is still training me. Her favorite saying is, "I'm not a duck and I don't like my ass in water." I reply, "Then look before sitting down." And I DUCK VERY QUICKLY. :D

Fortunatly we have two bathrooms now. In one the seat stays up, and in the other it stays down. :fluffle:

P.S. Do you have much ice and sleet? I left work at 11:30 and the roads here in Tulsa were horrible. We replenished the firewood and stock up on food. We are expecting up to 1 inch of ice here by Sunday. Expect to loose power. :mad:

I've always put the seat and lid down, and I'm a guy. What does that say?

Not much, other than the fact that I'm not a careless oaf. I've known quite a few guys who do the same, so enough fucking stereotyping.

Why is it that women always carp about us men leaving the toilet seat up?Because waking up to a loving kiss is much better than waking up as your butt hits the cold water as you go to the bathroom to releave yourself at 3:00 a.m.
Why can't they put it down when they need to use the pot and then put it up for us men?it actually takes more effort to put the seat up than down. I mean, for putting it down, heck, gravity does the work.

You know, I actually had a week-long stint where I sat down to whiz. In all seriousness, it didn't work out so well. When I would get up after supposedly finishing, there would be more left over. It's like this in all guys, as it's muscle-related.

So yes, I stand. However, I always clean the toilet off after I use it, so don't go getting any ideas. :p

i dont think toilet seats should be used at all, just a funnel over a pipe is needed.

Men are perfectly capable of peeing sitting down.
And, it's better for them. Sitting allows the bladder and urethra to drain more fully. The only reason to stand is if you're really keen on leaking into your underpants when you're done.

Sitting FTW.

Up for male.
Down for female.

I dunno, because whenever I sit down to go (you know what I mean), I always have to stand at the end to empty the rest of the urine out when I'm done. I've never had leakage when I stand to take a whiz.

Well the way I see it, toilet lid up when not in use but it doesn't really matter, But for the love of all that you call good keep the seat down when you flush!!

Btw who here cleans their toilet seats with a napkin and soap before dropping a load in a public restroom?

I only leave the toilet seat down if I peed all over it.

The best line of thinking is this: For equality in the sexes the seat AND lid must be down when not in use at all times. This is because it means both genders have to be bothered to lift something in order to do their business.

Now if one of the two sexes in an instance was arthritic I would support the toilet being in that genders position (this only really applies to urinating).

But it's not about arthritus, it's just good old fashioned gender equality! I as a male should not be penalized with an extra 1.2 kilograms of weight to lift whenever I have to urinate! What was my crime to deserve this? Nothing!

We should eliminate toilet seats and lids.

They just make it harder to get a quick drink when you need one anyway.

Well, Latin and South America practically invented malaria and explosive diarrhea. The lack of extraneous toilet features probably saves lots of cleaning time.

Unfortunately that would require penis-detection technology, which hasn't been invented but, I'm told, is going to pop up any day now.

Sure, discriminate against the fat men with man breasts who like the toilet seat up.

Well.....uh....

When you flush a toilet its supposed to go down the pipes not fly up into the bathroom. I can only assume you have a fucked up toilet.

When you flush, tiny droplets of water are sprayed into the air. This is why most home improvement projects/medical people suggest that your toothbrush holder/toothbrushes should be no closer than six feet from the commode.

I understand that is hard to figure out.

It's a real long shot.

well we should try breast detection then.

Yeah in today's engineering and technological climate that would be easier to grasp.


...

But ya know, neither of these would ever work. Breast detection would give false positives for Michael Moore... and penis detection would give false positives for Ann Coulter.

When you flush, tiny droplets of water are sprayed into the air. This is why most home improvement projects/medical people suggest that your toothbrush holder/toothbrushes should be no closer than six feet from the commode.

yup, ever try flushing while your still seated upon the throne? :eek:

And that's why you always close the lid before flushing... Unless you're already sitting down, of course.

Collonic irrigation?

With some toilets, it works. But, with many (especially older ones), you'll get splashed.

I did what I always bawl other people out for...charged into the middle of the thread as though the first few pages didn't exist.

I wish I hadn't seen her post either. My teeth feel weird.

do you use mouthwash? I hear that the alcohol in it kills most of the badness...

I'm an Indian. No one sells us mouthwash because they are sure we're going to drink it. :eek:

Isn't that what one is supposed to do with mouthwash?

Or maybe that's cough syrup.

Whatever, I'll have some more of both. LOL DRUGS.

man, it's nasty stuff, but if you really need a buzz and you are in rehab, it's pretty easy to get past the nurse's desk.........if you can find a friend stupid enough to bring it.

:eek:

please disregard. ;)

Yeah...and some freaks jabbing the release button again and again in order to spank themselves....*considers, then rejects*... considering some sexual deviants out there...
*Steals idea and runs to patent office* :D

Ummm... I leave the seat down. After all, I just open a 2nd story window, whip it out, and write my name in the snow...

(And if you believe that, I got a bridge somewhere to sell you...) :-D

There is such a thing as obsessing over minutiae.

Ew, wet butt. If you've got a bidet, no problem. If not, GROSS.

Cool! You've got a bridge to sell, I have always wanted one of those. What sort is it? I don't want any supension bridge crap.

OMG, I have modly street cred?!

My family is full of idiots. We had a discussion about bathroom hygiene, and when I said that I don't sit on the toilet when I flush, I was harassed for it. I didn't hear the end of it for close to two weeks.

I'm afraid it is a suspension bridge... nice location though, place called Brooklyn...

Can't say that's ever happened... either one of us has a rather violent / tame toilet flush, or someone needs to do a bit more exercise! ;)

Just jesting. At any rate, this conversation wouldn't take place in jolly old Japan!

All the time. The only cause for concern is when you don't hear the gurgle, gurgle, goosh. Then you have to get off the pot to look for the plunger. No chance to wipe...forget it...we don't want to go there....do we? :eek:

Use Clorox to brush your teeth. You will be fine. :D

And if both genders are arthritic, as in this household, the seat should be left in the ...... position? :confused:

Then the best thing to do is put pipes in them! Pipes to take out all of that nasty rubbish that they made.

In fact, PIPES FOR ALL!
