I am the type of girl that sits down when I go to the toilet have always been that way from an early age. Men are so yikky, they leave the toilet seat lid up, they make a mess on the floor and the seat and then they dont even wash their hands after they have been.
Is there any reason why men are so different from women in that they cannot simply put the lid down and clean up after themselves???
Sara.
I totally agree! I always pee sitting down... Just because it makes me feel more like myself. :P
hehe, yeah, men are so lazy...
I don't know if my parents know that I pee sitting down but I've left the seat down (but not the lid) several times and they don't seem to care...
I guess it's one thing I can get away with... ;D
Victoria, I dont mind if the seat lid is not down just the seat (depends on what is in there) - You know your mum always cares. Does your dad leave the seat up or is he well trained?
Sara.
So, just to chime in from the guy's point of view. Why is the default position down? Wouldn't we be equally within our rights to complain that women always leave the seat down?
Although personally, I do sit. When I use the men's room I put the seat up when I leave for the guys who stand.

I agree Dennis, I never understood why it made any difference how the toilet seat was left.
If your a woman, Put it Down.
If your a man, Lift it up.
How hard is that????

I usually sit although there have been a few times where the bathrooms were really icky so I stood. it is better to stand while I can than to catch something that will leave red blotches or worse all over me. Oh and there are some women who do not wash their hands either, it is not just a guy thing.

That depends whether your talking about just the seat or the lid. :)
On that subject I saw a documentary that will gross you out further. It showed how if you leave the lid up whenyou flush how a very fine spray of toilet water goes into the air and setles oneverything. So where is your toothbrush? Ick, you maybe brushing with toilet water which was the point of the documentary.
I therefore agree Melissa wins.

I cured my husband of that habit - all it took was one blood-curdling scream in the middle of the night when my backside hit the COLD porcelin!

Well my Mom leaves it like that too... (it's always nice to be able to leave it like that... works for both my mom and I)
My dad... well he never leaves the seat up, thank god! but he does leave the door open... (sorry, it's just something that bothers me, and he won't stop because "I'm male, and shouldn't mind seeing it."
They have no respect for me being female whatsoever... :'(

I think the spray accually goes up to six feet around the toilet!!!! :o
On the other hand, I really don't care. At least the seat isn't wet!! I just have to remember to see what position it in before sitting.

How delightful, toilet talk and I was the one who started this conversation. It's not only the seat and cover it is also the way that the boys seem to have this strong smell afterwoods. Have you ever been in a football room full of half naked guys and manage to pass by the toilet area if you can call it that. Few I nearly passed out. I have never had that smell not ever.
Sara.
For the few that need this information. If you have never had a UTI it ain't fun.
Never sit and flush, especially right after surgery. You are asking for a major infection.
Up or down? NJ is right its flippin cold and wet.
Whats funny is to walk into a restroom when there is a space between the stall walls and the floor, look down and see a pair of high heels with the toes pointing in the wrong direction.
Had me worried there for a bit Leigh, I was trying to work out the toes being pointed the wrong way and then it hit me. I Have seen some strange things in cubicles or should I say have heard of strange things.
Night Club toilets seem to attract a wide variety of action (lids going up / lids going down).

The smell is dueto dehidration and the concentration of the urine. To avoid it keep hydrated.

Well Leigh, it figures you would come up with something involving chains. :icon_evil_laugh:
Cassie
Leigh, has anyone ever tried to lift the lid on that one. Someone must have stolen that idea from watching our posts?
Sara.
:icon_evil_laugh:
:icon_chuckel:
Leigh, you are just adorable!
Leigh I would never in a million years thought that you would ever post a picture of your bathroom on the web like that. But then I don't know you that well :)
A quick question comes to mind hun... where do you hang your whip ?
Steph
Steph
Its like this. I have this harness--eer--tool belt.
This is a great thread and I wish I had seen it earlier,
Anyway I love your toliet Leigh. ;D Where can I get one?
Oh for you boys out there the proper postion for the toilet seat is down.
I found out one night when my boy left the seat up and my bottom went dippy dippy in the water.
That was a wonderful surprise. Now I always check before I sit down.
:)
Jillieann
Oh... that happened to me once... :'( >:(
I still want to kill my dad. >:( :D

Indepence day 2. A story of a toilet held down with chains for fear it may escape and rule the planet. Instead of the President getting a mind wash he gets a splash in the face and the toilet sucks him into its hole and sends him into a spin. Fear takes over the world, is there nothing left that Will Smith can salvage. See Will get down right dirty with this new movie where even aliens fear to enter.

We knew the economy was going down the toilet, but this is ridiculous. ;)
Melissa
How about the Toilet from Space.
After you use it your never the same.
Some people go in and never come out. Twiligh Zone kind of thing.
Dooh dooh dooh dooh.
;D

EEEE WWW those are really crappy jokes.
Yea, this thread is really going down the drain *wink*
*scampers off giggling*
If I can improvise on this a little.
Why do guys not lift the lid then put it back down? Well thats simple.
Now this is meant to be somewhat humerous but with some truth to it.
When you sit on the toilet well technically you dont really have to aim much cause pretty much gravity takes over but then again a man does have something to aim with but along the same line he doesnt exactly have a scope or iron site on his penis to really aim with hence why a guy doesnt always hit what they are aiming for in the beginning. As to why they leave the lid up well I bbelieve men are acustomed to kicking the lid up with there feet and just going and flushing and then turning to leave. I for one always wash my hands but personally I dont want to touch the seat regardless. Now as wrong as this is I have played tricks on my best friend before due to the whole "dont fall in" expression but I know although wrong it too has been played on me. But ladies I will assure you. Not all women are as clean as you would expect and fall into the same category as most men do as far as cleanliness and such. Ive seen womens restrooms that are just as bad if not WORSE than a mans restroom. As far as chaining a lid to the floor I think thatd be a bit much but hey to each there own. Me personally I always raise the lid but dont always put it back down cause I dont have a woman here at my home staying with me. Its all in habits ladies. A man that spends a mojority of his time alone at home is going to keep the lid up except when he uses the toilet to do "paperwork" but at the same by doing this over a long period of time he may not remember to put it back down when out in public or where ever he may be at the time. Its all in habits...they can be made but can be broken as well.
Like the saying goes: "If you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be neat and wipe the seat." and of course "No job is finished until the paperwork is done." See the lady inside of me still comes out from time to time. :P
