It is women themselves that give the idea that women are weak and need help. You know, I know strong women. Women that work just as hard and are just as smart and tough as men.

Believe me I know strong women and they are rare. 95% of women that claim to be strong only want to be strong but they really aren't. While they could be if they put the effort in to it.

We leave it closed because we have cats and cats think the toilet seat is a seat for them to sit on. Cats hate getting dunked, I hate when they put toys in the toilet. So... it stays closed.

LID DOWN!!! 1) THINGS FALL IN! Things left next to, on the sink, back of the toilet, etc, (My roommate leaves her toothbrush on the edge of the sink and then flips out when her sleeve knocks it into the bowl) If you make a habit of closing the bowl, they will simply bounce off, and no harm done. 2) SMALL CHILDREN AND PETS. They like to play in the water and do other things in the water that they shouldn't. Toddlers have in fact been known to fall in and drown. One of my daughters just had to put a locking mechanism on their toilet lid, because their 9 month old (cute as a bug!) can crawl really fast and it's hard to keep track of him, and he looooves the toilet. His daddy hates the lock, but puts up with it. 3) And to be honest, aesthetics! It simply looks nicer! And they wouldn't make the nice covers and novelty lids if you weren't meant to close them, would they? Geez...

I guess I've been keeping that subscription waiting for more JM long enough...

My Dad declared that if he had to put down the seat for Mum, she had to do work too and put the lid down. So us kids all grew up doing that and got used to it. A co-worker at work gets upset when I put the lid down and it's a really hard habit to break :( I do notice there's less water on the seat when the lid is down (not equating water to dirt, it's just annoying).

I can't believe people even fight over things like this

And there is another basic reason on why one should keep the lid down, that when we enter the bathroom we don't want to see anyone's poo or pee floating in it. As it is unavoidable not to look into the pot when its open once u enter, not to ignore the smell that comes from any open lid 😖

Wait what? That's not the debate... Who the hell is having this debate?! The argument is the ring seat bit not the lid! The problem is women have to keep putting it down to pee and me have to lift it to pee... Who is fighting over the lid bit being down and why would it be a gender fight?

Totally, you're right, there definitively isn't any single difference between your own restroom that you (probably) clean regularly, and letting your kids go lick a month-old dead squirrel in a junk yard full of used needles. The way to go... All I'm saying is that we're currently surfing on a general fear wave. Fear of the foreign, fear of disease, fear of almost completely safe things. Passing your whole home to Purrell weekly just because you have a toddler is making more bad than good. A kid has to go out there, eat some soil, get in touch with what's really in the world, because that's the only way (and only time) that its immune system can develop correctly.

Misleading title!!! You're talking about the *LID* not the seat. i.e. the lid down is supposed to be used to prevent germs being atomised into the air and settling on other items around the toilet. The title suggests (and I was expecting to see) results of whether the age old question (Man vs Woman) of *SEAT* up or *SEAT* down.

tbf I pee in the sink aswell

Get a soft close lid. You can give it a tap and it's goes down quietly with minimal effort and you appear to give a shit about the position of the lid when your friend or neighbor comes over. If you can't lift it to the correct configuration when you come back then you should be outside when you do your business.

most men do not care whether it's up or down when they get there... because its not exactly hard to remedy it to your specific needs. when I here people complaining, im sorry to sound sexist but this is my own experience, its always women. my responce is.. "your a big girl now, please raise or lower the seat as much as you like"

Really depends on the situation

I don't even touch the toilet seat when I pee. If I get pee on it I just get a tissue.

The seat stays down, the lid however is best left up for the person that really needs to GO. So don't torture that person as may end up being you.

You intended to talk about toilet seat then you went on to talk about toilet lid.

Super scientific

Where did you get that giant duck I want one.

i like it

Leaving the seat where you find it is the most efficient method because you can't know what the next person will need. assuming there's 50% chance the next person will need it up, and 50% down. If you don't do anything, there's 50% chance the next person will have to take an action. If you do something, you already took 1 action, and there's 50% chance the next person will have to take an action. Only when the chance is 0% that the next person will have to take an action (which means you know who the next person is and what he's going to need, which is impracticable) you'll get equal amount of required work as not doing anything. Leaving it in a specific state is just doing the work for the next person, and it's a wasteful guesswork. Conclusion: Leaving it as is is the most efficient way.

+yoni0505 It depends however on the gender makeup of the household. Males use the toilet seat up more often than down, but females always use the toilet seat down. Another factor is the ratio (of the males only, of course) of urination to defecation. Your assumption that the chance of the next person using the seat up or down is equal, is too simple.

You have to factor the effort in lifting the seat against gravity vs lowering it with a gravity assist. Always starting with a lowered seat would expend more energy as you will be lifting it against gravity more times. Of course, what overrides all of this is the humour element. If you have a female in the household who get's riled up if the seat isn't put down, the energy cost/saving in raising or lowering it becomes irrelevant.

I’ve never seen a public toilet with a lid

So I can pee on the sink too? This will save me from spending time to go to the balcony to pee on the cars down below.

Why would it have the seat then

When people ask if I go in the shower I say "Isn't that why they put the grate over the drain? To break up the solids when you stomp it through?" :D

I have a roommate who keeps it up when flushing. I constantly have to scrub off eraser sized pieces of shit that end up on the walls when he leaves the place after crapping. When he is in, I constantly have to tell him to clean his shit up that blasted out from the flush. The longest distance I've found it is about 3 feet away from the toilet. It rarely ever lands on the ground but most definitely on the top of the toilet tank and walls around it. I think he should have placed the various dishes higher at bowl brim level and up. The results might vary with the height of the dishes, as I have to do this shit removing every other day. I'm definitely moving out soon if he doesn't first.

But, the toilet was clean, with only water in, at the start. Surely, we're concerned about bacteria spreading when a "used" toilet is flushed?

I've seen toilets that - due to the nature of the bowl, and extreme water pressure - will pretty much project whatever you deposited straight out the front. Especially when of a, let's say, more viscous nature. Betcha we'd find bacteria in those petri dishes then!

Javian Brown​ Of course I flush it. I close the lid because mosquitoes lay their eggs in still water.

It's not really a matter of the bacteria... It's the fact that if there's an equal proportion of woman to men in the house, the toilet seat is more likely used down than up: men have to use it down for #2, and women have to use it for both #1 and #2. Also, have you ever accidentally sat on a toilet with no seat, with the occasional pee drop, in the middle of the night when you had to go pee? Having to then go wash yourself off because you now have nasty toilet rim juice on your legs, and you're basically completely awake now from the shock. Can't wait till we all just have microchips in our body/watch/phone that sends signals to things so that they automatically adjust settings as we approach. Also, your experiment doesn't make any sense. You should have done one go with all the plates set and the toilet cover up, and another one with all the plates set and the toilet cover down. If you repeat the process separately (and there's obviously no more poop during your second go), obviously there won't be more germs in the second run.

I'm gonna start peeing in the sink... of the kitchen

I avoid this problem by pissing in the bath.

There is no sense in leaving the seat the way you found it. If anyone would follow the rule seat would be always up or down, and this can't be most efficient strategy. Most efficient strategy is leave the seat unchanged after your use.

As a man, I say leave the rim down. Women always need the rim down, but men sometimes do too.
