yeah, sanitation is key - no fuzzies, no crinkly plastic covers.... NO rugs at the base of the toilet - yuck.
Kirsten - you're a heavy sleeper, eh? I know I've dreamt that the phone was ringing when it was actually the alarm.
the closed-lid rule was in put in effect 24-7 by dad when i was a wee lad -- we had a dog, as well as a number of cats... to this day i still abide without even thinking about it.

If a male in the house was also on auto-pilot in the middle of the night and went into the bathroom, didn't check and pee'd all over the seat and then went back to bed wouldn't that be an equeal argument for leaving the seat up all the time?
Are we talking about the top-lid as well, or the bottom-lid only?
It seems to me (from casual observation over the years) that men use the toilet for both functions more often than women - feel free to disagree if that's not the case.
It therefore makes more sense to leave it up, as men are putting it up for a piss more often then women are putting it down for one.
As for 'dropping the kids off at the pool, everyone needs the seat down, but as it's a matter of 1 second extra, I can't see what the problem is...!

Yes! Fellow closed-lid advocates! If you had a chamber pot, you wouldn't leave it sitting open in the middle of your bedroom, would you?

These are kind of nice...
Pissing on nuns is "nice"?!?!? No no no no no!
I'm with littlek & quinn. We have pets, so both lids stay down when not in use. We've all (male & female) gotten used to opening & closing every time we go. Although we do have fuzzy covers. They are laundered quite often, though. Makes a nicer seat for putting on socks & shoes, doctoring kids' cuts & scrapes, etc. (There's not enough room in our bathrooms for a separate chair.)
I am soooooo not going there!
Okay, time to fess up...how many times have the guys woken up bleary-eyed in the middle of the night and accidentally took a crap in the bidet? I mean really...who needs a freakin' bidet?
I put the seat up after me, otherwise it gets peed on.

Not just that, Set...that rush of water hitting just the right place....like I said to SCoates, ask the wimmins, but I doubt any of 'em will come clean, no pun intended.
I was tryin' to tailor the description to the likely use to which a clueless guy would probably put such a device . . .
I'm giving Setanta a shovel for Easter. He can go dig himself a hole in the backyard. He can keep the lid up on that.
What countries have those?
