Put the toilet seat down after you've done...

[Shay HTFC]

I was just thinking about this and why is it 'right' for the toilet seat to be down?

Time to start telling women to "Leave the toilet seat up when you finish!!"

/rant

[ncrn]

I remember watching something on mythbusters about this, and if I remember correctly they found that if you leave the toilet seat up when you flush you get more poo bacteria on your tooth brush than if the toilet seat is shut.

So yeh just shut it totally .

My mum always goes on about this, even though it does not affect her in anyway

Except the poo all over her teeth.

I wish she did, wouldn't have to worry about leaving the seat up then

That is so wrong.

One (or both) of my little brothers piss all over the toilet seat if it is down. Lazy cunts!

It is such a lovely surprise when I go for a late night shit, only to turn on the light to be greeted with a piss covered toilet seat.

Oh the joy of having 4 bathrooms

Well 2 en-suite bathrooms and two normal ones.

Tis shocking when you go in your own bathroom to find that your bro has almost deliberately pissed on the seat and wall.

According to Feng Shui, if you leave your toilet seat up (and apparently all the plugs out your sinks) all your wealth will pour down them and (presumably) away.

I try to keep the seat down for the as mentioned before toothbrush/poo/piss argument.

Unless your into scat, in which case: Knock yourself out.

Why do you think toilets have a seat cover?
It is true, that if the toilet is flushed with the cover up, micro droplets of water, laden with urine and fecal matter, are spread around the area for quite some way.
So, if you're happy to orally take in particles of your own, and other peoples shit, fine, keep the seat cover up.
Mine is always put down, prior to flushing, so my other half has no complaints there.

[DEN MONKEY]

I hate it when women bitch about the seat being up and insist I put it down for them.

You're a big girl now and while I know some of them are not technically minded , I'm sure they can figure out how to drop the seat next time they need a squat. I don't ask to have the loo prepped for me next time i need it.

If they have the right to go on about it then we have the right to wonder why only half of them manage to flush correctly after a piss and not leave that little fold of paper in there after they've dried their bits.

Seriously how hard is that ??

Can't say I've ever personally managed to flush the toilet in a way that it completely misses the loo paper.

Poo particle argument aside, I've never understood why some men demand that the toilet seat stay up and some women demand that it stay down. I never saw the problem in just moving it if it's not how you want it. It only takes a second. And then if you happen to go for a pee twice in the time your friend-of-other-sex has gone at all, then it's how you left it so you don't need to move it at all anyway.



But then again, our bathroom is separate to the toilet so I don't need to worry about getting poo on my toothbrush.

I am not bothered if I have to put it down to sit on.

I hate having to sit down on a seat some bloke has pissed all over, though.

And I do prefer a toothbrush/facecloth that is less likely to have sprinklings of other people's poo on them.

Regarding the money thing ... these days I seem surrounded by Feng Shui nutter-birds who have convinced me to keep the lid down at all times, so that their hard earned cash doesn't fly out of the toilet But then I am also told (by said nutter-birds) that if you count your cash, it grows. And it seems to work Not to mention my lucky Russian money-spoon . . .

Getting up in the middle of the night and falling down a cold porcelain pan, is not great ... brrrr !!

Yeah, my main issue is with skid marks, too.
Thats just simply impolite in any household, mixed sex or not.

[distortion]

Myself and Andrea have spoke about this topic afew months back. We came to the decision that with it being an even household you leave it as you use it.

Though for arguments sake you could say that the toilet seat spends most of its life down due to the fact men sit when they shit

[thegubner]

Bollocks to it I say.


Just let em whinge.


If your a crap enough shot to piss on the seat then in needs to be up, so leave it up, its not hard for em to put it down.

They can whine and nag all they want, I just nag back and tell my missus to leave it up when she is finished.

[pa_broon74]

[thegubner]

You dont even need to brush shit stains away, just throw some bleach in, leave it for 10 then flush.........voila, shite gone.
