If guys are to be polite and close the seat for the ladies who follow, then I think the ladies should raise the seat afterwards for the men who follow.
This toilet seat dilemma is always the silliest nonsense there is. Seriously, all the comics and comedians and TV shows think this is a real fight in American households, yet I don’t know anyone who finds this the problem that it’s made out to be in pop culture. If a nag like Mrs. Pickle whacked me on the head for such a ridiculous reason, I’d grab the paper and return the favor for her being such a stuck-up fussbucket.
Old but good joke. Elderly couple is having a big celebration for their 50th wedding anniversary and suddenly the wife punches her husband in the arm. “What was that for?” he asked. She replied “That’s for 5o years of bad sex”! He thinks about it for a moment and then punches back in her arm. She asks him why did he do that. “That’s for knowing he difference,” he replied.
50 years of marriage makes them at least 10 years older than I thought they were. When I was born, my grandparents were in their 40’s, but that may be younger than normal.
I got in the habit of putting both the seat and lid down when the kids were toddlers. It would only take a second for one to fall in and have a tragedy.
Now then, Seems everyone is satisfied! Opal let go of her frustrations and Earl thinks he got a deal…ummmm why do I feel like this isn’t the end of this “toilet seat” catasrofuff? Next she’ll pick on the TP…..it just never ends…..
The problem isn’t the seat, it’s the urine splashed on the floor and walls all around the toilet. A man peeing while wearing shorts can attest to that, yet still, he stands. I don’t understand.
My wife never has fussed at me for leaving the ring up. I do try to leave it down. One time I did forget and my then 2 year old mostly potty trained daughter tried to use it. She did chew me out. Royally. 25 years later, she still remembers. ;)
Had a girlfriend once who would call me at work and insisted I come home and put the seat down! Told her I’d get it first thing when I got home. Got home later that day, went in the bathroom, closed the door, took whole seat off the toilet and put it in the bathtub! Grabbed my stuff and left for good. End of problem. True story!
Here’s why you should always close the toilet lid when you flush.
You really should put the toilet seat down.And while it may also put some household arguments to rest, the real reason to close the toilet lid is a phenomenon known as a “toilet plume.”
When you flush a toilet, the swirling water that removes your waste from the bowl also mixes with small particles of that waste, shooting aerosolized feces into the air.
A study published in the journal Applied Microbiology in 1975 found that whatever you put in your toilet can stay there long after you flush. After seeding a toilet bowl with potentially infectious bacteria and viruses, the researchers found that the toilet dispersed the microbes far enough to settle on other bathroom surfaces, like the floor, the sink, and even your toothbrush.
I never understood why it is women aren’t expected to look before sitting down. If men didn’t look before peeing, everyone would (rightly) complain about that.
During the flush some of the water is aerosolized and gets out with little particles of whatever was in the tank floating around. Always lower the seat and lid before all flushes. And don’t forget to wash before every use as well as after.
When I was in the military, I would always leave the toilet seat up. Some of the guys, if the stand-up facilities were all in use, would use one of the stalls instead. And some of them would not raise the toilet seat up, and just go ahead and let go, with the lid down, resulting in nasty toilet seats. So, I believe the toilet seat should be left up to prevent lazy doofuses from peeing on it. It is a lot easier to put the lid down than to have to clean it off before use.
I just leave it down. Always. So I have to unfasten my belt to pee (inside). Seems like a small price…
And there’s a huge advantage: I can get out of bed in the middle of the night, relieve the pressure, and return… all without even opening more than one eye or turning on a light. 90% of the time, I just drop back to sleep and resume my dream.

You’d think of Opal after constant telling him not to leave the toilet seat up would give Earl the idea.

They should both close the seat lid because it looks nicer.

Yeah Opal you should’ve flapped him every time he left it up!

This makes no sense to me. Leaving the seat down gets it covered with urine. There is no labor either raising or lowering the seat.

I always put the lid down to keep stuff from falling in it. My wife doesn’t.

In my house, the rule is to leave both lids down, and when you gotta go, take your pick, as long as you leave both lids down ere you depart

It’s only a problem when one goes to the bathroom at night and does not turn on the light. Otherwise, just put it down. I do.
