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.

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

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.

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

Put the seat and the lid down before flushing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 :(

Lid up -> cats drink toilet water

Lid down -> no toilet-face cats

(Seat down because lid is down)

People of the penile persuasion can sit while peeing. It is very easy to do.

Sit to pee for all. Solves all problems.

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.

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.

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.

Soft close toilet seats should be standard equipment.

Then putting the lid down is a matter of a single light push.

If you raise it, put it back down when you're done. If you put it down, put it back up when you're done. That seems fair.

Alternatively, if there's a lid, close the lid when you're done. Then everyone is equally "inconvenienced".

But like, if men pee with the seat up, but both men and women poop with the seat down, then statistically the seat is already down more than half of the time. Now if we enforce a policy like this, that would mean more than half of the times someone walks in and needs the seat to be down is in luck, but the rest has to do double the "work". And if someone goes in after someone who would have otherwise left the seat up, they too do double the work, so the seat changes position 4 times instead of once. I think it's much more "just" to simply change the seat whenever you need it and sometimes you will even find it in the position you need it in.

Pooping is what unites us

Did you know this isn't a discussion at all in most of the world? People do whatever and no one is bothered by it. I only ever see this in American media.

Biased how. Do the math. Half of us sit down to pee, all of us sit down to shit.

This is all personal preference. There is no issue to discuss here.

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

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.

Very silly post. Reactionary gender war nonsense. Everyone can and does and should sit down, that's why it's unisex. It's not that complicated.

There's better things to hitch your identity and ego to than the way your dad told you to piss.

Leave the seat down so when you flush you won't inhale your poop and pee.

Cmon it's not hard.

Edit: and lid.
