PSA for Ladies – The Toilet Seat is not that Deep
2010
I've been meaning to rant on this for a minute and now the time has come. Ladies I'm talking to you today and I have only one question: what is it with you and the toilet seat? No - seriously....what is it?
I lived with a man for I don’t know how many years and he never once put the toilet seat down when he was finished with it. Never. And do you know how many times I accidentally fell in the toilet? Never. Because I checked before sitting down. Don’t you all do that?And really – how did down become the default position for toilet seats anyway? Let’s really examine this. As far as I can see, the toilet has 5 main purposes:
1. For a lady to pee in
2. For a man to pee in
3. For a lady or man to poop in
4. For vomiting
5. For cleaning
Hmm…so out of 5 possible uses, 3 require the seat to be up. And yet you’re still complaining? I don’t get it.
The way I see it, complaining about the toilet seat is a little like the boy who cried wolf. You know what I mean? It’s like you waste so much time complaining about something so frivolous that when you have legitimate beef the man is already tired of hearing your mouth. You’re destroying your own credibility because you don’t want to take a half a second to look down at the seat before you sit in it. Does that make any sense?
Ladies – any of you out there agree with me or is this further evidence that I am really a man?

For me it's not about falling in…it just doesn't look right (yes I have a little OCD). The toilet seat was meant to be down and if you have to put it up to use it put it back the way you found it.

I'm a little OCD on this too and generally much prefer to see the toilet seat down. That said, as I realize that:
1. This is really about aesthetics
2. That men who spend time in my home have to lift the seat up each and every time they need to take a leak and ALWAYS do so without complaining
3. Checking and putting the seat down only takes a few seconds
I have learned to keep my mouth shut on this one.

I agree…idk why women go into their bathroom backwards, in the dark & complain bout fallin in the toilet & blame their man! That's like your man pissing all over the bathroom floor & saying it was cuz the seat was down! I grew up with 2 brothers & a father, and me & my mother NEVER fell in. I don't know, maybe it's a cultural thing…or just a lazy, can't admit my faults woman thing that other women co-sign for solidarity. *shrug*

A-fuckin'-men….
My brother and I have been ranting about this for years so it's good to see a woman stand up for the cause. Not surprisingly I have a few thoughts.
@emti
"The toilet seat was meant to be down…"
Where is that written? In some toilet seat playbook? Plus, by your logic, when you walk into the loo and see that your man has left it up, after you take a seat, you should get right up and put that seat back up. Also, do you always have the lid down too? Why is that there? To be used isn't it? Why don't you put that down too? Oh, is it because it gets in the way of your general toilet usage?
@skyemetafrog
Point #1is crap. It's a toilet, what aesthetics are you talking about? Are you doing your hair or something?. Points 2 and 3 show you haven't totally lost your marbles so I'm gonna go ahead and pretend I never saw point #1
@ YoBee
That's what I'm talking about. To hear woman moan like a drain, you'd think they are backing into the bathroom like one of those moving vans on a downtown side street. Get outta here with this toilet seat crap!

do women really complain about falling in? who doesn't check to see the seat is down AND clean before sitting? especially if there's a man around.
but, i do believe that the seat should be down but i also believe that the lid should be down too for 2 reasons:
1) hygiene – do you know how much airborne bacteria is released when you flush? i don't know where i heard this from, but ever since i did, i've been faithful about putting the lid down before flushing.
2) superstition – yes, that's right. i was brought up thinking that it's bad luck to flush an opened toilet because you're flushing away your luck and prosperity. haha….so in order to keep luck and prosperity, you have to close the lid so that they don't go down the drain.

Ladies, do you need instructions on how to use it? Trust me, it's not that taxing to put it down.

how about a compirmise…leave it up if it's yours and put it down if it's mine
if we live together let's have separate toilets.
problem solved.

Yes, compromise is important. I think I've found a solution that will work for women everywhere. If you only date women, you'll never have to worry about this.

Ladies some of your points make a tiny little bit of sense but still I don't get why you can't just put the seat down and keep it moving? Is this really a nag-worthy offense?
I'm siding with Sirron and Sam Sharpe on this issue. It's just not that big a deal.

ok i can see your point that some women do nag the shit out of this point. heres my reasons for bitching (in my head, under my breath) about it: first of all I dont want to touch the fucken seat when I can clearly see yellow stains of urine from where your nasty ass either missed or pee splashed back and sprayed a little. I wouldnt expect you to clean up my piss/shit stains so dont expect me to clean yours. same way all you guys are saying "dont u women see where you're about to sit?" "dont you mufuckas see that u have shitty aim and u just got piss on the rim, the seat and/or the floor?!?" i know u saw it! u just pretend you didnt. clean that shit up! especially if u share your toilet with someone (guests not included. a mad dash clean up is ALWAYS required when company is coming. period.) dont be so fucken inconsiderate! i now keep lysol disinfecting wipes in my washroom to wipe down where im about to place my ass cheeks when i know a dude has been using my throne.____my second reason for me getting annoyed with it is because I have a 2 year old that might decide to have a tea party using the finest toilet water she can find.__

I’m a guy and it bothers me when girls I live with leave the seat up.
It’s not aesthetics or superstition or OCD or whatever it’s really practical: when you flush it’s like the toilet is sneezing. A fine but considerable spray of whatever liquid is in the bowl is released into the air as a mist that’s super easy to breathe in. The exact amount is likely to vary greatly between bowl designs but still it’s hardly worth the risk. I don’t want to breathe that in any more than I want to lick the inside of the toilet.
It’s not about whether it’s left up or down. It’s about making sure it’s down for the flush. Being left up just happens to usually signify that it was up for the flush.
And I would seriously reconsider the relationship I was in if the other person’s hygiene and thoughtfulness didn’t extend as far. You wanna kiss someone with poo water in their mouth?
