Why do girls get mad when guys leave the seat up?

Hey, as long as there's not a log laying in the bottom, what's the big deal with keeping the lid down?!
 
Well, I can only speak for what my mom use to tell me. Some women get up at night, half asleep, and sometimes do not bother turning on the bathroom light but there may be a nightlight, and the toilet can be hard to see. So, it is a wake up call when they go and sit down on a cold toilet bowl, hehe

And I was always taught that paper towels and toilet paper should unroll from the top
 
I think it should jsut be left wherever the last person left it. If it's down, its down. If its up, its up. Dont adjust it when your done!
 


<< We gotta pick the damn thing up all the time, why the heck do they get mad at having to put it down?!? 🙂 >>


Well...if they leave it down and we piss on the seat, there's really no harm done...but if we leave it up, then they're taking a very dirty bath 🙂
 
LOL, shouldn't checking to make sure the toilet bowl is down be part of your everyday bathroom ritual? I mean, does anyone ever forget to drop their pants before taking a dump? No, of course not, so checking seat position each time should not be too much to ask.

Other arguments against leaving the seat up may hold more water but the "I'm afraid I might fall in" argument is rubbish. Anyone above the age of potty-training who falls into the toilet deserves only ridicule.

Oh my God! Rickn, you've got a good mum there. Hehehe! She told you the exact truth. 😀 I have been in that situation for about a couple of times. 😱 I'm so accustomed to using that restroom, so that when I wake up in the night, sometimes I do not turn on the light. I just seat and then I feel this cold torture beneath my butt. 😱 😀
 
So what's the point of the top lid (the one that no one sits on... and if you do you make quite a mess). I figure if a toilet has a lid then it should be closed, that's what lids are for.

I think the thing though is that girls always sit, so for them it makes sense to leave the seat down. But guys only sit sometimes, so they're used to putting it up and down... if a guy has a problem with putting the seat down then just start sitting down every time you pee and you won't have to worry about it. 😛

dc <-- awaiting the suggestion that girls learn to pee standing up 😱
 
This is a stupid question. Think the process through, and maybe you'll figure it out. They put a lid on the thing for a reason, so both the lid and the seat should be down unless it's in use.

There are no stupid questions... just stupid... 😉 😀

I just manufactured a toilet. By your reasoning, the function of a toilet is dependent on it attachments. Well, my toilet has no lid and has a seat. Therefore, the question of when the seat is up or down remains since the function of the seat varies with operators.

Cheers ! 🙂

I'd have to agree.

*puts on flameproof suit to survive the wrath of the women of ATOT* 😀
 
i didnt read this whole thing (im lazy) but i have to say that i think the seat should be removed entirly...i mean, i can aim....


why dont they just make the toliet smaller????
 


<< We gotta pick the damn thing up all the time, why the heck do they get mad at having to put it down?!? 🙂 >>




We don't fall in if we forget to put it up. Sometime I'll PM ya a hilarious story along these lines. 😉
 
You should always look before you piss. You rarely see guys taking a leak and peeing on the seat cover.

That said, I always put the lid down (I'm the only one using my bathroom). Don't ask me why, I just do it.
 
because its a small thing to ask considering that guys almost garrantee dirtying the toilet in some way. spatters or plain bad aim, without guys toilets would be much cleaner😛
 


<< cept this one time on an airplane... we dont need to talk about that though 🙂 >>




OUCH...I just got this BAD image of you standing up in an airplane bathroom, letting go of your winkie and it flailing around like a water hose while you swayed side to side trying to keep yourself from falling due to the turbulence. 😀
