    Why must the seat stay down?

    Ok, ladies. Why must the seat stay down. Why don't I get to leave it up. Why is it determined that you get the right-away?

    It doesn't have to stay down. People just need something to complain about.

    I think it's to start breaking us down. It's all part of their master plan. When they get us to put the seat down, then they can start working on their grand scheme of 'HesMineBitch' First the toliet seat, then they work on the kitchen, then yur friends, then BAM! yur a vagina whipped heathen who only responded to little cutesy names, has no friends and posts on weird exotic review boards.... oh wait...

    good question

    imho, if a guy is using *MY* bathroom, then he should leave the toilet as he found it- seat down. its just plain rude otherwise. its just gross coming into the bathroom and the toilet seat is up. the worst is going to the bathroom at night and being half asleep and going to sit down and finding theres no seat under you. it is NOT a pleasant experience.
    if, however, you are in your own bathroom, feel free to leave the seat up because its your bathroom!

    if you leave the seat up in my bathroom tho

    .........and....

    most of you piddle on the rim (YOU KNOW YOU DO - GET OVER IT), which means we have to sit in it - ewwww, or "hover" which is as uncomfortable as it sounds, or clean the d*mn thing, which is not what we necessarily want to be doing right then.....

    Ah, yes, a childhood memory, of going "kersplash" in the middle of the night when daddy dearest would forget and leave the seat up. Talk about getting your attention.........

    If would make more sense if the toilet cover was down. That way stuff doesn't fall into the commode.

    People don't check to see the condition of the toilet before using it?

    I was a young sprout when that happened - lol.

    Oh, yeah, and leaving the cover down? Yep, did that too. What a mess.

    After I read that projectile-toilet-water thread, I've always put the toilet cover down. This way, guys can stop whining about putting the seat down, because look - I gotta do it too!

    Falling in....

    It's because of the risk of falling in when you go to go in the middle of the night!

    That's just tooooo funny!
    If you do fall in, make sure you don't flush yourself down the toilet

    yeah, i see no reason to put the seat down afterwards. I walk in, check to see if i changes the seats position or not. Pick it up if i need it up, it goes down if it needs to go down. BAM simple process. 2 seconds....

    For me, I kind of have to leave it down because the girls in the house outnumber me 3 to 1

    Lid should always go down... BEFORE you flush! Otherwise you're spraying what's in the toilet all over the room when you flush. If you don't put the lid down, I hope you don't have any kleenex out, or a toothbrush laying around - what about the towels you dry your hands with after you wash them.. you should just skip washing your hands if you're gonna flush with the lid up and then dry your hands on a towel that's had toilet contents sprayed on it. Also, if you have kids or pets in the house you just gotta close the lid, and maybe even get a lid lock for the kids - kids have drowned it toilets.

    What kind of toilet are you using that spews out water like that?! I think it's time for you to buy a new toilet.

    All toilets spray microfine water droplets when they flush.

    Well, if we're gonna get picky about "microfine droplets," then think about this. *Scent* itself is your nose detecting microfine particles floating around the air. If you smell sh*t, then you have microfine sh*t particles all up your nose.

    And microfine droplets are nothing when you compare them to "the splash."

    I'm going to start saying that the lid always has to be down when not in use. That way, wether man or woman, you have take action before and after you do your thing.

    Not good enough. We have enough engineers around here. We must design a toilet seat that automatically determines the end users sex and will lift the seat to the appropriate level.

    But that would be tre cool, no doubt....

    Truthful question:

    Why can't women just check the seat is down before they sit? We have had to put it back down for years, I think it is time for a change!




    Or maybe not....

    i don't care what part of the toilet is where when i get there, so long as nobody's piddled on any inappropriate parts... i put it where i need it when i need it. if you don't check it's your fault (and yes, i have had several near misses and one minor butt-dunk in my lifetime... but i'm a big girl, i can take responsibility for em...)

    (just askin... not that I really care whether it is up or down.)
    yup, i do. with one exception- i know someone else is waiting for the bathroom and they're a female.

    I've always wondered why it's up to guys to make sure chicks don't fall in.

    well, to all you women, you can't complain that you could fall in cause I'm a guy and I do too sometimes. I live alone and sometimes when I go to take a dump at night I'm too tired to check whether the seat is up or down and I end up sitting on the porcelain. I don't understand how you could ever fall in though. The moment my flesh touches the freezing cold rim, my body naturally jolts up and I find myself hanging from the shower curtains... It's not like women are the only ones who actually SIT at the toilet. We're all in danger of the "rude awakening." Just look twice.

    I wonder if women actually DO fall in as much as they complain about, are they just exaggerating because they like to get on our case? QUESTION TO ALL: How many times has any of you fallen into a toilet?
