Girls, why do you always complain about the toilet seat?

[dogsteeves]

Why do women commonly complain about men not putting the toilet seats down?

Is it that hard to check before going why should we have to touch the seat twice we need to check to see if the place down

For starters, there's this idea that unless we kept the seat down, they might fall into the toilet bowl if they're using the bathroom at night. If you're going to the bathroom at night when it's dark, turn on the light so you can see what you're doing.

Imagine if a man got up in the early morning to take a whizz and ended up sprinkling urine all over the toilet seat because he refused to turn on the light and look at what he was doing. Now imagine he went to his wife and tried to blame it on her for leaving the toilet seat down the night before. Doesn't that sound ridiculous? Well ladies, now you know how ridiculous you sound when you complain about falling into the toilet.

There's also this idea that putting the toilet seat down reduces the evil "spray" from the toilet flush, and if you leave the toilets seat down it prevents faeces or urine from getting flung all over the bathroom. And there are tons of things you touch every single day that are far dirtier and far more contaminated with bacteria than any surface in your bathroom. If bacteria were that dangerous, you would have dropped dead long ago.

The fact of the matter is, as long as you keep the bathroom reasonably clean, there is no danger of catching an infection no matter what state you leave the toilet seat!

Well, you’re not really right about the last part. My reasoning is that everything needs to be down before flushing including the cover for the very reason you yourself wrote, cleanliness.
The reason I find your argument about the last part flawed is because one, studies have shown that particles DO go up in the air and contaminate the whole room when you flush. Two, even the most harmless bacteria could do some real damage if it gets to the wrong place, believe me you don’t want E. coli anywhere but where it belongs.
Three, it’s a very very easy solution to get a MUCH cleaner bathroom and not need to clean the entire room after every poo. :)

I would find it annoying if the toilet seat is always up, I think aside from cleanliness, it just looks nicer to have the toilet seat down. Tho the toilet seat thing isn't a problem in my household (never heard my brothers complain or seen them leave it up. The bathroom in my basement is mostly used by my brothers and the toilet seat is pretty much always down). So I'm surprised others find it a problem.

Or, you know; everybody could just close the toilet when they're done with it?

You don't leave the fridge open when you've finished with it, or leave the oven open after you're done cooking. Why would you leave the toilet open? Clean or not, who wants to walk into the bathroom just to see a wide open toilet bowl?

[dogsteeves]

I am wondering if the girls who don't turn on the light will they sit on the completley closed seat with no hole and pee on the lid?

[God_of_Thunder]

Well, if everybody always closed the lid when they were finished, then everybody would know they needed to open it next time. It would remove all uncertainty from the procedure.

If anyone, man or woman, pees on the seat at that point, it's their own fault.

[Liam_Hayden]

The ladies win this argument. In fact the seat and lid should always be down before flushing.

How many of those aerosolize microbes that land on your toothbrush?

[thegirlfromthething]

I don’t care about the spray or falling in, I care about being considerate towards the people who use the bathroom after you. If I share a bathroom with a guy I’ll leave the seat up when I’m done if he prefers it that way. And I expect him to put the seat and lid down for me when he’s done because that’s how I prefer it.

😂😂 hilarious.
Didn't know there was a problem with toilet seats.
In my house we keep it up because of my brother. I don't mind it. But I do have to touch it twice too when setting it down and after that back up for him... I wash my hands every time I go to the bathroom tho so... yah.
I also use it with the lights off... Everything is fine.
Hahah chill peeps

[LuvMeSomeBoys]

First world problem. Just put it how you need it. Problem solved. Guys, it’s ok to sit to pee too. The best way to avoid having sprinkles to clean up is not to make them in the first place. It won’t make you unmanly.

[Yads_Is_Back]

This is why they have urinals. It’s a stupid thing to fight about.

[dogsteeves]

but Urinals are only in Public bathrooms not solo house ones

[TheFartSaver]

Between one man and one woman 3/4ths of toilet use is usually done sitting down. A man urinates facing the bowl. It's not hard to reach up while flushing and plop it down. I always look no matter what, it's not hard to look. But it's also not hard to put the seat down when you are already facing it and your hand is already raised to flush anyway. Not to mention since 3/4ths of acts are done sitting then down is the default position. These are just facts.

[TheFlak38]

a steamy pile of bullcrap.

[TheFartSaver]

I'm a steamy fart not a pile of bullcrap. Tell me how I am wrong. I am very curious to know.

[RydiaMagnifique]

I don't get mad unless he peed on the seat. Because I can't wake him to clean his mess up, so I have to do it myself. That's gross. Other than that, I can lower the seat myself. IDGAF.

Girls don't understand how hard aiming is.

[dogsteeves]

how do you have a picture of a Female toilet?

[pleasestopthis]

I hate when the toilet is without its cover because the germs flow everywhere including your toothbrush. Disgusting.

[clampfan101]

You can put it down just as easily as she can. Be mature.

[dogsteeves]

What if it's a group of men and one women came to the party late and then complained

[clampfan101]

I think putting it down should be a habit. I do it all the time without even thinking about it.

[dogsteeves]

I know when I live alone the only time it will be down is when i need it on a girl over

[dudeinohio]

Fortunately, I live in my own apartment and there are no toilet seat rules when my daughters or my girlfriend are over.

[Anonymous]

I put the lid down as well as the seat because if I have to lift something to use the toilet then so do they. 😉

[Anonymous]

Entitlement.

It takes just as much effort to put it down as we do to put it up but women can’t even do half the work and put if down themselves. They expect men to do both.

[TheFlak38]

She can't complain about it if she's not in your house. Bitches out and I keep my sanity.

[lpoots]

they are more important problems in the world than leaving a toiltet seat up

[Anonymous]

Someone's girlfriend's just had a go at him for leaving the seat up.

[dogsteeves]

Completley wrong :P I just thought of it and went to search internet found nothing so I asked
