    I am the only female in the house, with 3 boys and a hubby I HAVE to look :laugh: But seriously, I would think that everyone should put the whole seat down including the lid, but then I guess the boys would start peeing on the closed lid and say ... well it should be left up it's your fault for putting it down :laugh:

    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.
    lol ^^ This..........men have horrible aim...and it's just disgusting to not put the seat down for us ladies...especially when we are groggy in the middle of the night!

    explain how it's disgusting for you to not pay attention to where you're parking that thing? lol
    explain to me why and how men manage to piss everywhere but the toilet bowl....lol

    ok first.. its not always one stream. women seem to ASSUME it all comes out one direction.. but it doesnt.
    second... initial aim may be a little off... it takes only a slightly off trajectory to put a dribble on your day.
    third.. we dont wipe it. we shake it. while we aim to shake that last bit in there, if it goes somewhere we dont see.... tough shizsnacks... we didnt see it.

    Fair enough. But then you should clean it up, don't leave it for your lady.

    She's busy makin' sammiches.

    I can't imagine just backin' it up and plopping down. I have to inspect for piss dribble. I only care about the seat being up is when the toilet flushes, all the wonderful pee and poop sprinkles fly through the air and land on stuff. I swear, I'm borderline germaphobe, BUT STILL. Isn't that why toilets have a toilet cover???

    In my house, The lid is always closed, unless it is in use. I have 1 dog and 2 cats. My only issue is pee on the seat.. I don't usually see it on the seat either... ughhh #fail

    Me, too! Growing up,mom always wanted seat and lid down. Dogs drink out of the toilet, cats fall in the toilet, and it is true that if you flush with lid open that germs fly. I read that we shouldn't even have toothbrushes and cups on sink cause of toilet spray in the bathroom. And I hate when girls hover, too. They always piddle on the seat. A toilet is cleaner than most people's desks.

    What I have never understood is the need beyond the age of 6 to put the seat up in the first place. YOU HAVE AIMING CAPABILITIES. WTF?

    I do look at the toilet first, always, and my husband and I have always put the toilet seat & lid down every time. The kids pretty much follow suit as well. We just think it looks better that way, and it keeps the dogs from drinking from it. I am terrible about remembering to look at the toilet paper roll to make sure the person before me didn't use it all before sitting down, though. That's the worst. I try to keep extra rolls somewhere in the bathroom, just in case, but I keep the new package of tp in the hall closet. There have been many times when I've had to call for someone to please bring me some more tp. If only the kids could remember to refill the roll every time. They'll get there one day... :smile:

    I grew up in an all female household so I'm so used to it being down that I don't look

    I dont get it either. If youve ever lived with a man, you LOOK first. There is NO telling what might be in on or around the toilet. *shudder*

    LOL, did you recently see the South Park episode about that? And yes, I do look, and if it's not down, I don't have an issue putting it down. It just isn't a big deal to me and it takes all of two seconds to clang it down.

    I ALWAYS look when I'm not at home.

    But when I'm home, the only person I share my bathroom with is my sister..so if it were ever left up, it would probably get me if I wasn't all there!

    Three scenarios:

    #1 She doesn't turn the light on in the middle of the night.

    #2 The toilet itself and the seat are the same color so you might not really be able to tell (a little less obvious, but it could happen).

    #3 She's drunk as a skunk and as far as she's concerned, the toilet is now a row boat.


    And for the record, the *entire* seat/lid should be put down. Aside from my OCD and the need for everything to be tidy, didn't you ever hear of "flush spray"? If not, let's just say you might want to move your toothbrush into another room if you flush before putting the lid down.

    In the middle of the night, half asleep, when pregnant, I could totally see myself falling in if he left the seat up. Not only that, we are not used to having to check if the seat is up because we don't ever put it up. Even without the fact we might fall in, if you put it up then you put it down, simple.
  • I have 3 kids. I HAVE to look first. I trust no one.

    Some of you women need to pick cleaner guys. What kind of pig pisses on the toilet seat? And then leaves it there for the next person? If you're the guy doing this, grow the hell up. Your mommy isn't there to clean up after you. You're just a lazy slob, and probably don't deserve the woman who uses that same toilet.

    It seems if you put the seat and lid down after each use, it's fair for everyone. Problem solved! Why does this have to be such a big issue? This resolves the "what position is the seat in at midnight" issue too.

    ugh. after a week of trying to convince my parents to always put the seat down when they flush, i've moved my toothbrush to underneath the counter. they can have fun with those nasty germs all over their stuff.

    I don't look at home because I assume it is down, in public (or other) bathrooms I look.

    Yeah and I really hate it when it is up, it looks bad and is not considerate.

    In my family, males are trained to sit down to pee at home and stand up to pee in public bathrooms. So we avoid the whole seat up thing in our house. of course, everyone in the house has to be careful after the little ones in the family use the toilet because you never know what you'll find... I agree that a little courtesy and consideration goes a long way no matter what your gender.

    Well ok....men dont stumble into the bathroom, in the dark and hope to hit the toilet. Easy fix here, turn on the light!

    we close the seat at my house cause of our cat, i hate the thought of him drinking toilet water

    i barely even open my eyes at night tho, so i can see how others can fall in
  • THIS is what I don't understand: How girls manage to piss all over the toilet seat. I mean really, you 'hover' because the toilet seat is nasty, but people like you who pee all over the toilet seat are the ones that make it nasty!! And if you do pee, then take the time to wipe that mess up! -end rant-
  • I have 3 brothers , so yes I was taught look each and everytime. I have my own bathroom, thank you dh and I still look. The rare occasions I use public restrooms or friends restrooms, I look. You never know what someone else's habit is and it would be terrible to ASSume the seat is down , your likely to dunk your donut in a yucky way.
