Men Only! The Toilet Seat.

Forums: Toilet Seat Courtesy, Toilet Seat
Email this Topic • Print this Page

The position of a man’s toilet seat (up or down or middling) is the true underlying indicator of household status.

Are you emasculated to the point that you feebly abide by the neutering effects of the down-lid?

Do you proudly display the lid in its fully erect position?

Can you never quite get the gumption to raise the lid to full-mast nor give up on manhood altogether, thus keeping the lid in some half-assed, part-way, vague incline?

[+3] - edgarblythe - 05/29/2009It's more sanitary to shut both lids before flushing. Tiny drops of toilet water fly all over the bathroom otherwise. You don't see the drops, but they do carry bacteria.

@Chumly,

it's got a wimpy furry cover...won't stay up for any reason

@panzade,

Take off that fur and have it show it's true upright colors!

@Chumly,

my cats don't really give a rats one way or t'other, but I generally close the cover in case they get real thirsty or incoherent (bubba)...

Both lids are down. It's a visually and more sanitary position for both. Never mind be considerate to one's wife /partner.

And, if one has pets (as someone mentioned above), it's a smart idea.

Ladies use the facility in the east wing. I don't know what they do with the toilet lids there.

I’m teaching my cat to do its business in the toilet, you can note the procedure here on YouTube (he slips in at the end). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ug7WEUxH68

My wife and I made a deal a long time ago that I will lift the seat and she will lower the seat. It remains in the position of whomever used it last.

Now, granted, I live in the #2 most liberal city in the country,according to genoves' survey, beating out Berkeley, much to its chagrin, but that seems to be the developing consensus here--whoever uses it last leaves it in whatever position they used it, based on several unisex bathrooms in places I frequent, including a city office building and a music club.

@MontereyJack,

This is somewhat illogical for most cases, I would suggest, for the following reason:

The person who has just used it is the least likely to need to use it again, first. (Save in the exceptional case of advanced diarrhoea or other unpleasant medical condition)

And so on balance of probability, and assuming a reasonably even spread of genders (this is not an allusion to the size of your butts, ladies), it would surely make more sense to leave the seat in the opposite mode to the one just employed.

I remember a cartoon in a Playboy magazine I saw years ago. Two guys, one listening intently to what the other was saying. "What really annoys me about women is how they always leave the toilet seat down."

the seat has to go down, its the only way to keep the dogs drinking out of their bowls

According to feng shui, it's not auspicious to leave the toilet open and exposed -
money will run through the open drain. Therefore, keep the lid closed!

1) A seat that is down may not be picked up by a guy who goes pee -> wet (and just gross) seat. It's protecting the piece that women have to sit on.

2) "I almost fell in the toilet," is a phrase that no self-respecting human should ever say. When do you ever sit down without looking at what's in your butt's direction?!
