This is me as well.
Then…check before sitting down..?
Like what do they think guys do? We just go in and whip out our dicks and piss all over the seat without checking? Or if we go in to shit, we don’t first check before sitting down?
It’s always been the stupidest argument from the “lid down” side.
Edit: for the record, I live alone but I prefer putting both down. It just looks better and it doubles as a seat.
My rant today is just for the people (men and women, alike; not all women hold that view so I don’t direct it at every woman either) who make that argument as to why the seat must be down.
I grew up in a household with nightlights in the bathroom - enough light to see what you need to see, but not so bright that it screws up your night vision. Today I live alone and don't have to worry about the seat being left up, but I still got a nightlight because it's just practical.
For the record, I agree. I grew up in a household with all boys (the only girls were me and my mom, but I shared a bathroom with my three brothers) and I've never once fell into a toilet because a seat was left up. Yes, the seats got left up, I just put it down and moved on.
Now, if people could replace the toilet paper when it runs out...
That’s very rational, and night lights make the best sense in a bathroom, honestly.
My beef is just that absolutely dumb argument of “I might fall in!” Then check before sitting down like everyone else does! Lol
It’s up there with “girl math” and “I’m just a girl” that makes me feel annoyed as a response for not following common sense/doing the responsible thing.
I think the seat + lid down makes the best sense of all since it looks cleaner and doubles as a seat. I also have a cover on my lid so it matches the rugs.
