Toilet seat etiquette

[Deleted]

This is used for urinating while drunk, as is the bath tub and the shower (ow yeah, 80% of men pees in the shower while showering, bet you didn't know that).

Peeing on your feet while in the shower is actually healthy and prevents fungal infections and such.

I'll just say this, if it wasn't for different genders the toilet seat would probably never needed to be lifted up at all except for cleaning purposes.

It's not that big a deal where I'd rig out all the toilets in the house so no one has to touch it, like I said, I don't like it, but I'm not going to claw out my own throat and light myself on fire because I had to touch the toilet seat, it's just that I personally don't want to, 10 times out of 10 I will.

Well, doesn't matter how you put it, as long as men can pee standing up there will always be seats that need to get put down (except maybe in women only toilets)
Just be happy you don't find pubes everywhere in the toilet (like you do in men only toilets).

It does, however, increase the chance of fungal infections if other people use your shower.

They still manage to get on there in this house. One of the reasons I get the heebie jeebies from touching the seat.

Strange I always avoided peeing on my feet, must be a reflex from wearing shoes.
While we are at it, drinking your own pee (making thea out of it our such) has proven to be healthy aswell. It is also very hilarious to put in someones beer if you can pull it of without them noticing

Ah human waste, a source of humor ever since primates and develloped thumbs

Use a tissue or a square of toilet paper.

What a long post about a simple issue.

If you think it's a simple issue then you clearly haven't lived very long, or with women.

Wrong when you put the lid down, the water vapor (with all the bacteria as well as fecal matter and the sort) get thrusted out with more force from underneath the lid. So unless you have an airproof lid, you spread the water vapor even further.

There are of course different types of lids, and in some there may be a space between the bowl and the lid for the vapor to escape. In any case, closing the lid will not add to the "force" of the water vapor in any way or form. A closed lid will keep most of the droplets and fecal matter, and therefore also bacteria, inside the bowl, and any that escapes will be directed toward the floor of the toilet.

An open lid will allow the vapor, fecal matter and bacteria to be sprayed all over your toilet, even a couple meters away, including for example your tooth brush.

The lid is there because of tradition, we wheren't always able to flush, back then the lid was used so you didn't have to look at someone elses (and all the people before him) leftovers.

The lid has a function, simple as that. Anyone claiming it makes things worse is completely and utterly clueless.

im interested. can i get a link? i would like to show this to my brothers =p

Those are just a few links found with a fast Google search.

The science is clear on this matter: the lid is there for a reason, and flushing lid open is completely asinine.

Option Q (or whatever): I really don't care, just don't leave the bathroom a total mess.

Also, people who get worked up over this need to relax a bit. Surely you have more important things to care about?

Its their own fault for not peeing on their feet (even women should be able to pull it of without issues)

I'm actually getting nauseous thinking about curly little pubes on the toilet now. If I had to touch it at all I'd puke.

[Deleted]

I live alone, so I can piss wherever I want.

[capitano666]

I've always been for options C for exactly the same reason OP analyzed: the less amount of work is done in general and on top of that it's shared between the two.

Be happy they come from the front, they have much dirtier cousins on the back (way you can tell the difference: the front cousins curl)

The best solution is too have 2 toilets.

[Feral Camel]

I picked B. I'm all for equal oppertunity.

Also I don't have a lid for my toilet...

Men have hands, they can put the seat down.

Honestly, it depends on the number on the girl to guy ratio in your house, although, girls have to sit twice, guys only stand to piss.

Yes, we do have hands. But it's not fucking worth it to freak out because we might forget to put it down. Jesus, it's not a big deal.

[Franzy]

Can't you just aim through the seat? >.>
Then neither parties have to touch it.

[Adam Jensen]

Because I don't like touching it. Just because you can wash shit off your hands after touching it, doesn't make the experience any more pleasant.

And why is your sex exempt from touching it and mine not?

I don't like touching it either.

[Daedius]

Toilet seat cover, close it when unused... then both men and women have to raise cover/seat to use -- sorted.

I work with people that can't even hit the bowl.
We all miss from time to time, but some people just have terrible aim.
