    My 16 year old daughter sat in the toilet in the middle of the night a few weeks ago and couldnt get out. Man, you would have thought we had a murderer in the house the way she screamed. Funny as hell!!!

    That happened to my cousin when I was a kid. I got a concussion because I literally fell in the floor and hit my head due to laughing so hard.

    In the middle of the night I don't turn on the light so as not to fully wake...

    Men really will look to shift blame in the great toilet seat debate. We sit all the time, and you sit some of the time. More sitting is done than standing therefore the seat should stay down.

    God forbid the woman drives the car and doesn't move the seat back and you bang your knees. THAT is totally unacceptable, but it's all our responsibility to make sure our vaginas stay out of the damn toilet water.

    :noway:

    I live alone so the seat is ALWAYS down...and even though I am going to my own toilets, I still look at the seats out of habit ( I have two brothers)... So yea..I dont get the arguments either lol...When approaching a toliet, its normal to look at the toliet first before sitting down. :flowerforyou:

    Once upon a time I was sleeping on the couch at a friend's house. The roommates were three dirty, dirty men.

    I was drunk as a skunk, it was pitch black, and I accidentally sat down on the toilet with the seat up. I did NOT fall in. I balanced momentarily then got up, put the seat down, and went on with my life.

    If I can manage that while intoxicated, I think most females should be able to handle themselves sober.

    Just sayin'.

    I was just about to post my drunken toilet seat was left up story...only mine ends with me at my dads house drunk with my butt stuck in the toilet because he had left the seat up...you must be so much more graceful than I have ever hoped to be!

    LOL truthfully I'm about as graceful as a train wreck.

    so wait....does the lid have to be down too? Because if that is the case, why do men have to check for that when we stumble in half awake?

    And when it is dark, I prefer to use pee and listen-style echolocation.

    I have kids. One that has only been potty trained for half a year. I HAVE to look at the toilet before I sit down. I do it no matter where I go. Plus, my family loves to play pranks. Gotta make sure I'm not going to end up peeing all over myself or getting powder all over my @ss lol.

    it really is! and you can practice peeing standing up too.

    lol, I do my body weight squats while I'm peeing in the shower, too.

    Multitasking!!! awesome!

    I'm gonna take the women's side in this one for a few reasons:

    1) I live with a wife and a daughter - thus I am outnumbered.

    2) I tend to sit when I pee during the night so as to reduce the chances of waking my daughter at some ungodly hour - she seems to be part bat and can hear pee hitting the toilet water from 1,000 yards in high winds and once she's up she's up for the duration and no one really wants that .

    3) In the dark I don't look which means

    a) if I have left the sat up I will get uncomfotably close to the water, I have never fallen in...yet
    b) if my daughter has left her potty seat on there i will smash my nuts on Dora
    c) if my wife was feeling petty and closed the top ON my daughter's potty seat, something will get broken...probably me

    4) It's not that big of a deal to put it down.

    How do you fall in b/c the seat is up? Shouldn't you look AT the toilet as you're walking to it?

    I've never understood the whole "I fall in if the seat isn't left down" argument.

    however, when the gf is in town, I do leave the seat down b/c it's polite. But I've never understood the arguments.

    haha your post reminds me of a very recent episode of South Park!

    (I hope I'm not the only one who knows what I'm talking about - lol!)

    When it's dark, and we are sleepily stubbling into the bathroom, We don't look. Thus our *kitten* goes in the toilet, and the water is very cold... PLUS yall pee on the rim, and we sit in it.

    BINGO! It's only happened to me once and it was in the middle of the night. Nasty beyond words.

    I am 100% on your side here. And do they not look as they leave it??? You wouldn't believe what I have to clean after other women at work use the restroom. CHECK before and after people!!!!!!!!!!! Gross. lol

    So.....why cant the guys look as they leave and make sure the dang seat is down. like really? nothing to do with male and female just respect. its like people forgot how to be polite. Sheesh

    The perfect solution to this problem: Get a dog. Then, to keep him from drinking outta the terlet, both genders will close the entire lid.

    I actually have to agree with the OP on this one. It seems to be unfair to consider men rude for leaving the seat up. I don't mind if you leave the seat up, but please do not pee on it. I prefer not to have to clean up after you.

    The seat AND lid should be down for flushing. Seriously have you seen how far the spray goes?! :sick:

    Also... this was the ONLY advantage I've found to being obese. My butt isn't small enough to get wet if the seat is left up! :wink:

    I am happy that my husband always puts it down. He says it is the polite thing to do. I appreciate that. There is nothing like walking in the bathroom with the lights off in a half sleep and splashing into cold water. :frown: When I visit my family I always have to double check the seat.

    Exactly what I was thinking... I don't have a problem falling in when I'm wide awake... it's when I'm still, for all intents and purposes, sleeping... only to be woken up with a wet butt.

    I agree. Except where the middle of the night tinkle is concerned. I never open my eyes at all when I get up in the middle of the night. If I do open my eyes, sleep is done! During the day, it would never happen. :smile:

    ETA: Good thing my guys are trained well. Middle of the night wet butt would = whole house up!!!

    Hey, I do my part when the gf is around. I leave it down when I'm done. But, if you're falling in, figure out why. Turn the light on.

    My adorable dad and boy cousins decided it would be hilarious to do that while they were all at my house on Christmas Eve. He put shrink wrap on the toilet and left the lid up. I stumbled in unbelievably plastered after a night of festivities and sat down to pee. At that point I didn't care the lid was up and I wasn't going to put it down. When you open the faucet after a night of drinking, you go every 15 minutes :laugh: You can imagine what happened next! I didn't check for the lid as much as I checked for shrink wrap after that lol

    Speaking of chivalry, one of my bffs once said "b*tch, you touch that door handle and I will cut your fingers off" in reference to opening the door of a cab.

    ... I love my friends.
