Put the Seat & Lid Down WTF ????
 

Wife tells me to put the seat and lid down on the toilet quite often.

Whats the point in this ether sex has got to open it back up. I see some logic in the seat for the women folk but what's with the lid?

I am not real cultured so please explain. I am the only male in a house of ladies. I fail to grasp the concept.

you should put the lid down before you flush.

that way urine and fecal materials don't get spread through the air when you flush.

A well-managed toilet seat is quite simply the difference between a civilized society and utter chaos.

Just do it, you'll lose the argument. Yeah, I'm pussy whipped.

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::D

Damn Hugh!!! I can't stop laughing!

Yea I am not going to argue ! Just wandering!

Where do you get a pussy whip?

same aisle as the cratch slappers

I thought mythbusters did a study of that and found that the amount of e.coli released into the air aerosol fashion as a result of a normal toilet flush was close to zero. At least I think it was mythbusters. I believe the whole idea is urban legend in any case.

It comes down to being married 25 years. At some point you have to think is this worth a fight?

Do you have toddlers or have them visit occasionally? Not a bad habit to close the lid. Children have been known to drown in less water than a toilet holds.

I always put the seat and the lid down...that way my Wife isn't expecting it when I leave them up;)

It's a simple question of hygiene.

You either have a bathroom with urine splashed everywhere, or you just sit down.

No brainer, if you ask me.

ya can always clean the bathroom occasionally too ya know... ;)

strange how women can notice the lid down and won't sit before raising but won't notice the seat is up and sit anyway. same female genetic quirk as sitting on cd's, sunglasses or anything else left in the passenger seat before you can move them out her way.

It's all about aesthetics. With the seat down it doesn't conjure up the same image as seeing the empty bowl full of water (assuming that it gets flushed).

It's kind of like having a garbage can with a lid. You don't want to see the garbage so there's a lid. Even though it gets flushed, it's still where the garbage goes.

My other peeve is making the bed (unnecessary, really only for looks) and 1 step further, all of those stupid fracking only-for-looks little pillows all over the damn bed.

My favorite scene from "Along Came Polly" is the pillows on the bed scene. Just makes me want to slap my wife every time I see it.

yes, men and women are very different creatures.

"Homer: But Marge, I don't see how I have any choice!

Marge: Homer! You don't have to run and join a traveling freak show just because they asked you!

Homer: (Sadly) Marge, you and I are very different people."

Yeah, I would prefer the lid down but I gave that up long ago. I'll settle for the seat down, and I get that about 75% of the time.

I always check.

AND WEAR SHOES.

Don't get me started!

Folks who want the lid down have that preference for different reasons - have you asked? If she's into feng shui, it's bad to have the lid open. All your chi goes down the toilet. For real. If you are into that, I mean. Others have dogs who drink out of the bowl and it squicks them out so they want the lid down. For others, it's kids. And as the above replies illustrate, there are some folks who just prefer it that way for hygiene or aesthetic or other miscellaneous reasons.

Silly Victorian tradition and gender discrimination. I bet some of you whipped American boys are forced to sit down and pee too. :D

see post #12

I keep em up just to piss em off:D

:DAs long as she swallors, I'll put the seat where ever she wants it:D

I live with 5 women.
Realtor code too.
Seat and lid are down.

Pet Peeve: Realtors that photograph bathrooms with the lid up.
I guess I'm wiped ;)

my wife gave up. i am incorrigible.

Fought this battle, and lost very early in our marriage.

Dottore, PLEASE don't tell me you piss sitting down.

I know someone who would leave the seat up.....he woke up one night and had to take a dump.....seat was up and when his azzz hit the water he was wide awake. His wife now does not have to remind him to put the seat down.

I make an effort to put the seat down for purely asthetic reasons, but if I don't it's no biggie. My wife knows how to operate the toilet seat so she doesn't care, either.

In the past, I've come across women who insist that I put it down because they were tired of falling into the toilet. Well, I don't know about you, but if you're going to plop your bare ass down on something without looking first, well, that's your own damn fault. :)

BB.

That is correct,
a TV science show here showed the same

the put a dye in the toilet and flushed it, under ultravoilet it went everywhere even with lid down (though partially better)

amazing it even covered things like toothbrushes and cups

:eek: :eek:

My first wife used to cover the bed in Garfields. And I do mean cover. I took pleasure in dumping them off the bed each night.

I just use the spare 1/2 bath and keep that lid up all the time, unless we're expecting guests.

So the only times I use the master bath toliet is first thing in the morning when I'm sitting down for a read and the morning constitutional or in the middle of the night when I don't want to turn on a light anyway.

We also the leave the lids down to keep the dogs out. Our dogs would probably stay out anyway, but I had a dog in college that would put his front paws in the toliet when he drank out of it, what a mess :D

I just piss in the sink, nothing to lift that way.

So taking a picture of an open toilet is a sin but pumping a POS, dilapidated, 60-year-old house as being worth a half million bucks is ethical?

Hahaha!

That's good.

Appearently...

now i like that idea.

It doesn't matter but if she is going to make a bunch of stink about that, well don't go into my tool box and just throw that screw driver where ever she darn well feels, or her son.

This really got out of hand at an office that I was the interim manager at. The admin witch put up signs in the common rest room. Put the seat down and it was directed to the men. Day one I ripped those things down. I waited to see who made a big deal. Took pictures and formally counseled her. Bunch of crap. She lasted less than 6 months, it was the ugliest termination of the ugliest human being I ever did. She lost her court case as well, and that was ugly too.

If someone can't handle the toilet seat issue, what else can't they handle? It is not that I don't agree (seat and lid down always), but it is the demands to do something that they are capable of.

If you keep the lid down, it keeps the cat and dog from using it as their personal drinking fountain (an act that completely disgusts me). You will also not drop any of the following items into the toilet - these are items I've dropped in or have been bumped off the counter: One pearl earring, a pager, several hair brushes through the year and Steve's electric razor.

So Here is The Rule: Seat and Lid in the DOWN POSITION... which steve ignores about 75% of the time. What the hell, 20 years of great extracurricular activities - I'll just live with the toilet seat issue...

i hate it when women leave the toilet seat down.. ends up getting piss all over it

and they say we're the dumb ones ;)

Yes, in addition to putting the lid down, a gentleman wipes, too.

Wipes what?

His person.

I have a great golden retriever who would be upset if I put the seat down. That fricken dog reminds me why they are called "Dogs" when she is in the bathroom drinking away. Then she runs out and wipes her shout on your hand...Gad!

My neighbor has a little dog that comes over and pisses on my fuchs right in front of me. So I bought a wrist rocket...I have seriously considered a way to piss all over it. Any ideas?
