Lid up -> cats drink toilet water

Lid down -> no toilet-face cats

(Seat down because lid is down)

My brother used to say, if i have to lift it up why shouldn't my wife have to put it down?

I see his point but, i close the lid to flush so i don't have to brush my teeth with a pissy shit particle covered toothbrush.

[–] tomenzgg@midwest.social 3 points 2 days ago

I dunno if you'd want to know (or maybe you know, already) but it only helps some with bacteria, not viruses: https://www.everydayhealth.com/health-home/should-you-flush-with-the-toilet-seat-up-or-down.

I only piss in sinks and showers. It's the gentlemanly thing to do.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The gentlemanly thing would be to keep it in your pants, like I do.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

you piss in your pants?

that's gotta get gross quickly

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because it's so much better to just leave the piss lying about elsewhere? Just pull on your big boy panties and piss yourself. It's fine.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

ok ok shit... being responsible for my mess is the upright thing to do. time for depends.

This issue always baffles me.

The amazing thing about owning a penis is that I can still pee sitting down and there's never any drama. Have to poop? Don't even have to move! Have to fart? Go for it! Not farting in your underwear makes them smell fresher for longer, anyway.

Bro wtf? I know that was a casual one liner... but it leaves sooo many unanswered questions!

This assumes that men ever lift the seat. I’d prefer it be left up so that there is at least a chance I can sit on a dry, piss-free seat. Lowering a seat is preferable to the alternative.

[–] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 30 points 2 days ago (7 children)

I once jokingly mentioned to my wife that leaving the seat up is just as convenient for me as leaving it down is for her. To which she pointed out that, of the four different permutations of toilet use between us, 3/4 require the seat to be down, so all in all, it makes sense to leave the seat down.

And dammit, I had to marry a logical autistic, didn't I?

So now I always (try to remember to) leave the seat down.

[–] Hacksaw@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

At home both of those are invalid. You close the lid before you flush so you don't spread particles everywhere (among many other benefits)

Everyone opens the lid/seat to the desired level. Everyone does their business. Everyone closes the lid. Everyone flushes and washes their hands.

True gender equality!

I tend to sit down to pee most times (at home), so that ratio is even higher for us..

Toilet seats are fully operational by anyone, (it's true I checked). How about instead of trying to police everyone you just put it up or down yourself and stfu?

Seeing this sign would ensure I go out of my way to leave it up.

If you properly close a toilet seat/lid, everyone has to open it before using it, I don't see what the big deal is

If men have to put down women have to lift up. Morality is when the same logic is applied to the other side. Otherwise your being sexist and prejudice.

Can people do what they need to do without anybody policing them? Seat up or down who cares?

[–] camelbeard@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

As a guy please leave it up, when I need to poop I really don't want to sit on a seat with pee splatter all over. If it's really unisex I think most women rather put it down than sit on a wet toiletseat.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why does it matter how it's left when you're done? All that matters is lifting it when you pee.

[–] camelbeard@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well yeah, but way too many lazy guys just pee.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Okay, that's gross. It wouldn't even occur to me to not lift the seat first.

[–] camelbeard@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I have a 5 year old kid that only wants to pee standing but (despite me telling him not to) he never lifts the seat. Unfortunately some guys never seem to grow beyond 5 years old...

If this was a male-only bathroom I'd still totally agree with the content of the sign.

If you want to pee standing, use the urinal. I, as a man, don't enjoy sitting in some other person's pee either.

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

No no no. In public restrooms better to leave the seat up so that when people pee standing up the toilet water droplets don't get on the seat.

I pee standing up in public and know the mess it can cause.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 123 points 3 days ago (10 children)

Put the seat and the lid down before flushing.

Is peeing standing up something I'm just too intersex to understand? Like even before bottom surgery it was just more easy and convenient to sit down for it

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

How is having to pull your pants and underwear down and sit down easier and more convenient than just unzipping your fly and peeing standing up?

[–] wetsoggybread@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I mean if you're at a urinal that's one thing but if you're going into a stall you're already wasting time might as well sit down and take a break, maybe take a smoke while you're at it

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

If you feel like sitting down, that makes sense, but it's not easier and more convenient.

[–] Michal@programming.dev 4 points 2 days ago

You're not using the equipment to its full potential!

[–] angband@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

So, like, peeing into a toilet with the seat down, 100% keeps those tiny little splashes from hitting the tops my bare feet at home. So, when I pee in public toilets, I keep the seat down, to keep the urine off my shoes. I do wipe the seat if I miss, and I also spray if there is disinfectant. But I hear the smart girls squat atop the seat anyway.

Really, places where you don't have a urinal are sub optimal.

What kind of PSI are you working with?

I'm a woman and will leave the seat up at work (not at home)

We have unisex toilets and truck drivers use them - they regularly wee all over the toilet seats if left down :(

I never understood the whole "you left the toilet seat up" complaint. Never been an issue in my family but have heard "he never puts the seat down" all the time. Is it that much effort to put the toilet seat down when you need to go?

Edit: Always close the toilet seat cover, not just lowering the toilet seat. This is for both men and women.

Sit to pee for all. Solves all problems.
