ahhh, the age old controversy of putting the toilet seat down.

for those that don't... hopefully you plunk down to drop a deuce and find the seat is up and your ample butt sits down on a pee riddled toilet bowl sans seat. that's the only way to get some people to figure this out.

Mosh, I mean, is it too much to ask to LOOK at something before you sit on it? Why should it be assumed that the seat is down? Is this a symptom of laziness?

Yes. It is f'ing retarded to expect the seat to always be where you want it. Women are way too selfish sometimes. Never in my life have I heard a guy complain about the toilet seat regardless of its position.
 
In the past couple of years I have taken the habit of always wiping the toilet seat down before using it. I don't know why but there are some real jerkwads here at work who will use a toilet with the seat down and pee standing up even when there are 8 open urinals. I can't figure out what is up with these freaks. To me it's more bothersome that they don't use urinals than that they leave the seat down. At first I thought they were doing it to reduce splashback from the urinal, but the two people I have seen do this are the most disheveled looking hobos in the office and there's no way they would have respectable hygiene even with the reduction in splashback.

I don't see what's so hard about simply looking before you sit down. Is the room dark? How about turning the light on if you can't see 😕

I wonder if these people also blindly wander into the street without looking before they cross 😉

Seriously though, I like the idea of putting both the seat and the lid down every time.
 
I put both down every time. The lid is there for a reason. Maybe you personally like looking into the toilet while you brush your teeth, but I would rather not. I find it just as bad when women leave the lid up (the top one not the seat one). I have actually told a friends girlfriend to put the lid down when she went to the bathroom at my place. (my friend found this to be hilarious)
 
Can't figure out those that take a crap and don't wash their hands either. Makes me use a paper towel to open the doors to get out of the bathroom.

I have a buddy who does this.. Well, the pee-ing in a toilet when there are open urinals thing, I dont know if he puts the seat up or not..

Anyway, when I ask him why he does it, he says its so he doesn't get pee'd on.. WTF ?

I ask him, "Has this been a problem for you in the past?"

He says "No, because I pee in the stalls, not the urinals"

A group of us tried to reason with him before.. We had a combined total of 100+ years pissing in a urinal, and none have ever been peed on. He wouldnt budge, and insisted its not worth taking the chance.

Freaks indeed...

That being said, I could never figure just how far back from the toilet that these women were when dropping their drawers, turning around, and backing up to the toilet that they couldn't see that the seat was up.

i agree, i always notice when the seat is down and up, why cant they just look? just like looking to make sure there is TP BEFORE you sit your butt down.

at my work, we share the restroom in the front office with 3 women. i have spearheaded the argument against putting the seat down (when the head bitch decided to try to make it policy) by countering it with "if we have to put the seat down for women, women have to put it up for men when they leave the restroom." i stood fast to my convictions and got the "policy" killed. i still put the seat and lid down every time i leave the restroom... flushing sprays for about a foot, and my pant leg is usually pretty close when i flip that lever. ill never tell her that tho, hehe.

I tell my wife, I lifted it so the seat would be dry for you. Gravity is on your side for the trip down, I mean what is the problem with it being up? It takes all of 10 seconds to get it back down

It takes all of a 1 second to get it back down. So why not do it?

Because women should share the responsibility. I could just as easy say women should put it up after they are done
Eh, whatever. I know your type.

I know YOUR type! First you want the right to vote, then you want equal pay for equal work, then you want sexual freedom, but you still want us to put the seat down for you??? Give em an inch, they take a mile. I tell you what.

:laugh: you so funny.
It's absolutely true. First you demand that we put the seat down, and then what happens? You tell us that we can't pee standing up! It's already happening.

I won't stand for it! (pun not intended)

i actually got the mgmt to get a spray bottle of cleaner with bleach to clean the toilet with, so i dont gag every time i go in there. people are friggin clueless about their own messes, or else they are just lazy and refuse to clean up after themselves. i stopped bitching about it and started making sure it was clean when i use it. much easier.

Many guys are too lazy to put the lid UP when they pee, therefore they will pee all over the seat in their pathetic effort to get it straight into the bowl. I see this at work all the time. Surely in environments where women have a shared toilet with men, this must be noticeable--yet some women still insist on this counter-productive behavior.

Is there something I am missing here?

I dunno... I've gotten pretty good with my aim. I could probably stream into a circle 6 inches in diameter and not lose a drop.

Dude, no one can pee with the seat down and not get something on it. Even if you can't see it, it's there.

Let's say you're Annie fucking Okley with a penis and have a sure shot every time. There is NEVER a perfect stream, just what you think to be. There is always a fine spray pattern, and that shit gets everywhere.

Personally, if I'm at my g/f's house it's seat up, seat and lid back down when done. I actually will be too lazy to pick it up at times and just wipe the damn thing down with some tp when I'm done. Which, oddly enough, requires more effort than just not being lazy and picking up the lid to start with.

And technically we you smell a fart, you are literally inhaling small bits of sh!t. Does it kill you? No.

That's actually a bad analogy, as the particles you are talking about cannot be felt or seen. Hell they're floating in the air.

My aim is precise, and when on occaision I do miss, I always wipe it off. I share a bathroom with 2 females at my house, none of them has complained for the last 2 years. And that seat's smaller than your average industry toilet.

I solved this problem years ago. Put the seat and lid down every time. This way everyone raises something every time they go.
I do that all the time, but it's a habit that comes from being a pet owner. Not much is more disgusting than watching a pet drink from the toilet.

I really don't have this issue now with anyone. It stems more from growing up with 3 brothers. They would let it (the pee) fly all over. I would have to examine the area before using it all the time.

So who are you calling lazy again?

It's not about peeing with the toilet seat down, it's about putting the seat down before you leave the bathroom. That doesn't mean you have to piss all over it. Hell, sit down if you can't control your carrot.

What gets me is that women bitch that they fall in if men don't leave the seat down --but that says they can't look before they plant their ass :laugh:
