    Nope.

    Most of the time my husband and I use separate bathrooms, but when we have to share we work on the 'whoever last used it gets to leave the seat the way they want it' theory.

    I don't even know if my boyfriend even puts the seat up when he takes a number 1, because it's always down when I go in there!

    Either way, even if he did leave it up, I wouldn't care. I end up closing the lid most of the time due to our ferrets and not wanting them to think they can swim their way down the plumbing :laugh:

    She learned to piss squatting to avoid having any confrontations.

    I fell in the toilet 2 in the morning and I turned into the exorcist. Never ever had a problem after that.

    .....**** I think they trained me to leave it up- this needs to end!

    At home, I do all my businesses sitting down. Fixes all the problems. In a public washroom, that's another story.

    Keep the seat down. The life you save might be your own.

    Nope...my husband had a dog when I met him, so he was a big believer in putting the toilet seats and lids down at all times. We both still do this, even though the dog has been gone for several years now.

    I have a wife, 3 daughters and 2 grandaughters and every one of them knows to lift the seat back up when they are done.

    Not just the seat, but the whole lot - including the lid - goes down before flushing.

    If the seat has to be put back down, the lid has to also. No double standards.

    No wars here, he is out numbered 3 to 1 so the seat is always put back down. Plus I think he got traumatized because when I was 8 months pregnant with my oldest, he left the seat up in the middle of the night, I screamed so loud when I fell in it startled him wide awake, he has never done it since lol Plus he felt really bad :embarassed:


    ETA: in our home the lid goes back down too, we have dogs and it is NOT a water bowl no matter what they think.

    OP I've seen several topics you've started now, and you seem to be really interested in dynamics between men and women and gender roles. Is there something on your mind that you'd like to state directly?

    And this is why I live alone! I do make sure to leave the seat as I've found it when I'm visiting others though. I'm sure people wonder if I pee with the seat up.

    We have 4 dogs and 3 cats. The seat and the lid are down at all times when the toilet isn't in use.

    I put the seat down for one reason. My girlfriend is slow to wake. If she has to use the toilet in the middle of the night and falls into the toilet as a result of me not putting the seat down she has made me a solemn promise. Upon dragging herself out of the toilet she will promptly come sit on my head.

    For the sake of avoiding the promised toilet head experience I put the toilet seat down for her. It's really a story of cause and effect... :ohwell:

    that's a good idea for me to use on my future husband hahaha
    any man with a shred of dignity would break up with that girl if she did that
    Any man that wouldn't be willing to do something so simple for their girlfriend/spouse/so has little respect for that individual.
    i like you.

    I grew up with 5 younger brothers. I prefered to see the seat up so I knew it hadn't been peed on, and I didn't have to wash it before sitting.You could never find the culprit among the 5 of them--nobody ever did it. Many years have passed, but it still doesn't bother me to see the seat up.

    Any woman that can't manage to not fall in a toilet probably wouldn't last long with me anyway.
    I am sure that woman would be DEVASTATED.

    seat and lid should be down when you flush anyway.

    I saw a show one time where they tested things like the toothbrush, etc when the lid was left open vs closed.

    yeah:noway: :sick:

    CLOSED EVERY TIME.

    I moved my toothbrush to a closed cabinet after watching that!

    Personally, I prefer for the seat AND the lid to be down, but this is on the list of things that life is too short to get worked up about for me. As long as it's flushed, I'm not going to get pissy about the seat or lid being up.

    No wars at our place. I don't care if the seat comes down again but I do ask that it goes up for boy wees.

    Oh, and I really hate it when the lid goes down as well, as could cause problems if I'm really, really desperate!

    In our house everyone closes the lid when they're done using the toilet and before flushing. I keep my tooth brush in that room and prefer not to have toilet vapor particles landing on it. Plus it automatically prevents toilet seat wars.

    ETA: It also keeps the cats from playing in it and used to keep the kids out when they were little.

    Not really a battle worth fighting, it's easier just to put the seat down myself :glasses:

    Lol no need to get defensive, if you aren't observant enough to not fall in a toilet, that is your issue

    Is this problem exclusive to American women? like are there women in this thread that are from other countries? Just curious if the lack of surroundings issue global.
