Why do men leave the seat up & other annoying habits?

I don't think our lid ever goes down. Can't see the point.

Well sometimes men leave the seat down, then pee all over it!

When men pee they put the seat up. When they poo they put the seat down. When women pee they put the seat down. When women poo they put the seat down. So the seat is down at least 75% if the time. Women win - seat down.

I like seat down and lid up.
My mum always assumed people put the lid down because they had something to hide down there. Limescale or worse!

I don't like the lid down in case I'm in a hurry!

Interesting comment, SueDonim. I always put the lid and seat down, but only after I have flushed. I like to see that the flush is doing its job.

As two year olds, my DS and his little (girl) friend were found 'paddling' in the toilet by friend's mum. She said it looked like they had both done a wee first too
I don't know if they had found the lid up or down, and I don't think it would have made any difference either way.

I don't mind too much daytime if DH leaves the seat up - mostly it is down - but if I go for a wee in the night, I don't turn the light on, and I hate it if I sit down then discover the seat was up. Yuk!

In public loos I hate having to touch the seat to put it down.

Have any of you used the type of loo that only flushes when you open the door to exit the loo. This was in a hotel in Reading, I’m never going there again and as Mrs Slocombe would say ‘And I am magnanimous in that’.

Oh yes - a friend's kitten fell down their toilet!

It's also a good habit to get into when there are GC in the house, if they're prone to meddling in the loo.

Seat and lid down!

I worry that:
a) The cat might fall in ? Double ?? if there’s bleach in the pan

b) If either fall/get knocked down then they might crack the pan

Lid and seat down, please. I don't want toilet water sprayed round my bathroom every time the loo is flushed, thank you very much!

Why is leaving the seat up so annoying to some? It's never bothered me.

Yes, put the lid down, flush, wash your hands and leave.

My DH has steadfastly, stubbornly, refused to put the toilet seat down all our married life. The seat needed replacing recently and I bought one when I was at a local store. DH fitted it and found, to his dismay and my secret delight, that it wouldn't stay up. In fact the poor man had to hold the ruddy seat up while he was peeing, haha.
Unfortunately (for me) he removed it and re-fitted it so that it does stay up. It looks flipping ridiculous, because it has had to be placed very far forward on the toilet bowl, but he doesn't care. It stays up so he's happy. Grrr

I also want the Lid down.
There is a 'soft' closing lid on the market

It doesn't matter to me seat up or down as I want the lid down never mind the seat.

I am working on a prototype for a toilet seat that can be left at a 45% angle to keep everyone happy. It will be launched with a tinkle from Prince Andrew the current Duke of York after his forebear the Grand Old. When it was only half way up it was neither up nor down.

Why do the spend so long in the toilet?

Conversely why do women keep leaving the seat down ? ?
