    ok here's the truth. I put the one down in the bathroom me and my wife share and I leave the one up in the kids bathroom hopeful that some day my daughter will be the type of girl that puts it back up out of courtesy. because that what it is all about, who is going to be the bigger person.

    I'm trying to redefine compromise in my kids eyes so they don't always think that it means that the women always gets her way. ;p

    We have dogs and children. Not only does the seat go down but so does the lid. Solves the problem.

    We also close the lid BEFORE every flush! It helps contain all those particles from flying in the air and spreading germs!

    This wouldn't work for me because I frequently need to verify if its about to overflow so I can take action and cut off the water valve.

    Both men and women should put the seat AND lid down. It just looks better!

    Well since I have been the victim of falling my big behind inside the bowl on more than one occasion, lol, we all now (even the kids) put both seat and lid down after use. Easy solution although it still "slips" my husband's mind occasionally.

    Women are lazy. We have to pick it UP then PUT IT DOWN... it should be 50/50. I put it up, you put it down.

    I have to clean it, therefore it is my way. That one time at 2 am, when everyone got woke up was not a happy time. So mine is down.

    I couldn't care less in our upstairs bathroom...

    However... I DESPISE having to check to see if the seat/lid is down in the downstairs bathroom when we get unexpected company.

    AND I had to worry about my daughter when she was younger.

    Seems to be a power trip thing with my husband - he REFUSES to put it down EVER...

    QFT. My husband is well-trained, but I can always tell when his dad is visiting....

    While I put the lid down to flush personally, why is it the man's responsibility to accommodate a woman neglecting to look where she is putting her *kitten*? And why is it only this one room where the future location of said posterior not checked? You check for gum before you sit on a bench, right?

    Oh the lid is put down for aesthetics.......I didn't know you could use that word for the bathroom. Me personally I keep the whole thing closed up, lid has to be down. Why because when something falls off in there I'm the one the kids call to remove it. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww daddy.

    We have cats, and I'm a klutz. Seat and lid are always down when not in use.

    If the woman doesn't want a wet butt, it is her responsibility to check it. I grew up with 2 older brothers...I learned to check

    I think if you had to lift the seat to pee then you should return it to the position it was in when you got in there (lid down seat down), that sounds pretty reasonable to me. When I go after I finish I put the lid back down, when I flush I don't like the idea of it spraying into the air and all that.
