Toilet has lid for a reason, to cover it when not in use. I am constantly flabbergasted that more people don't get that. Do they leave the mayo lidless in the fridge too because it makes it easier to make a sandwich??

My wife and I just have separate bathrooms. We're both nesters, so sharing wasn't working.
Ahh, the Two-State Solution to peace.

I mean… you should put the lid (not just the seat) down before you flush every time regardless to reduce the airborne particles.
The number of people breathing their own aerosolized toilet water is too dam high!
Unless you're hermetically sealing your toilet lid with aftermarket parts, this number includes you.
it is greatly reduced, though.
Ah but they're using the old why get vaccinated if you can still get the virus logic. The only logical response is to pound down some lettuce and blast those particles right back at that toilet scum. Ass testosterone checks pronto
Out of interesst: Do you then reopen the lid to check for shitstains left in the bowl, that would need cleaning before you leave?
yes
This is exactly why someone needs to invent a completely clear toilet.
That exists.
Add that with these lights and you'll never wonder how your shit looks again.
It never occurred to me until now that a toilet tank is a great place for fun stickers.
When I was younger, my parents got a small pop-up pool. It wasn't long before the "NO DIVING - SHALLOW WATER" sticker that came with it ended up on the toilet.
Yikes
Or that camera screen setup that newer fridges use to see the inside.

Yes, that's definitely one of the things I should do. One day.
Nah, good for the immune system 💪💪 I keep my toothbrush out in the open too

I always have wanted to know: Who the hell doesn't look at the seat before sitting down? Or is the "i might fall in" response also just a joke? 🤔
I did it one time when I woke up at 3am to pee. Had to keep the light off to not wake the Mrs.
It wasn't fun. But it wasn't life ending. I got a nightlight for the bathroom after that.
A blind person?
They might look at the seat.
(But they wouldn't know)
I've always said if a person sits on a toilet with the seat up it's a failure on two parts.
Yes the previous user should've put the seat down but who tf just plops ass first onto something without looking first?
At that point you get what you deserve, a wet stinky ass.
Habit and expectation can be powerful things. Also, our brains often fills in what we expect to see. A quick, peripheral glance at the toilet while expecting to see it in one state (seat down, lid up, for example) could leave one thinking they did see it in that state when in fact they didn't get a proper look at it.
When you wake up having to pee in the middle of the night and don't want to turn the light on
Also in general, as someone with a vulva, my mental model of a toilet is that the seat only is up for cleaning.
People that are used to living alone or with other women. Established habit and all that jazz.
When youre at home with a clean toilet, treat yourself and sit to pee
As a dude that has 2 sons that just piss everywhere, I've always told them to just pee sitting down. There's no shame in it fellas.
No shame but for me it's take more effort to sit down and strip my pant always down just to piss, I wanna get it done quickly
If you're accurate, no problem.
I will ensure I lift the seat before I go, you ensure you lower the seat before you go.
We can both be responsible!

Once I learned about the shit vortex (technically called toilet plumes) there was no way I wasn't going to close the lid.
Close the lid to flush. Lift to vent the ass. Fart fan ain't helping what it can't reach, Greg
Ah yes, the constant struggle of pushing a boulder... downhill.
I think the joke is she's constantly putting the lid down
True, but equally difficult.
