Toilet Seat Ettiquette

[Bodakane]

She believes he has to lower the seat after he pees.
He believes he should lift it before he pees so he doesn't get any on the seat, but his obligation ends there.

Who is right, who is wrong!

[Rixis]

It takes half a second to raise or lower, who really gives a damn. If it's down and you want it up, lift it, if it's up and you want it down, lower it.

I've spent 5 times longer typing this than it takes to just fucking do it.

[AeneasBK]

I think someone proved that the simplest system in terms of "number of functions" is for both partners to simply leave the seat as they have used it (so down for sitters and up for standers ). Any other system requires unnecessary stages.

[Puupi]

If you pee while standing, you lift the seat.

And always, I mean always, when you leave the toilet, you lower the seat AND close the lid.

[Machismo]

If you are basing it purely off of etiquette, then the female is right. Etiquette is pretty consistent that a shared toilet should have the toilet seat left down after use.

If you are basing it off of efficiency, then the logical conclusion is to leave it how you used it. That will lead to less energy being used overall.

If you are basing it off of cleanliness, then the seat and the lid should be lowered before flushing every single time.

[Bodakane]

If you pee while standing, you lift the seat.

Absolutely, no argument.

And always, I mean always, when you leave the toilet, you lower the seat AND close the lid.

You're a monster. A literal monster.

[Rotted]

When I finish, I put the seat down, when my partner finishes, she puts it up

problem solved

[Azadina]

She is right, because you can't leave the seat up and close the lid, and the lid should be closed after use.

Everyone should sit down to pee, then this wouldn't be an issue. People who stand up to pee are stupid and gross and should be separated from the rest of society because they are animals.

Woot Erin is back! Haven't seen you around here for ages. Welcome back.

I don't lower the seat, many women do ask/demand this, claiming they otherwise fall in the bowl.

Really? Do they walk backwards into the bathroom or something!?

[Emode]

Its just a courtesy from the past, men used to pay for dinner, like holding the door open for women and pulling chairs out for them, but as we live in a free and equal society we dont have to do it anymore.

Apparently I have to come back because while I'm away, people get deviant ideas like thinking it's okay to stand up to pee.

[Crackleslap]

I actually sit down and pee... :/ So this is a non-problem for me. But if you're living with a female, probably should put the seat down after you're done. Better yet everyone should close the toilet when you flush.

[Ryme]

You should put the seat and cover down before flushing anyway, be civilised and don't get disgusting toilet spray everywhere.

Well first you'd have to assume, that this is really an issue. Which it is not where I live, we basically have other stuff to worry about.

Then, if you (as a man, not assuming anything, but I believe homosexual couples don't have this issue.), really have a girlfriend, who is bothered by this kind of stuff, and you don't ditch her, because that's the only issue with her, then just leave the toilet with the lid down.

Why?
Because, she can't be mat at you since the seat is actually down. But she still hs to maneuver the toilet somehow to use it, which is satisfactory for you, since you have to put up with this nonsense crap.

Win-Win.

[Pebrocks The Warlock]

The lid should always be closed after use so there's no reason NOT to lower it after peeing. Just lazy not to.

She believes he has to lower the seat after he pees.
He believes he should lift it before he pees so he doesn't get any on the seat, but his obligation ends there.

Who is right, who is wrong!

If you had a clue you'll know to close the lid to reduce the amount of mist that goes flying when you flush.

Basic hygiene.

[Wildtree]

Adults don't give a shit about whether it's raised or lowered

Excuse my ignorance..
But, don't speak for all of us adults.
People without manners, without any sense of hygiene don't give a shit, probably even literally...
Everyone else makes sure that thing is closed after use. Reasons, several.
Which ones? Figure it out.

[MusicToEat]

I've always had pets, which means lid down whenever not in use.
