The Toilet Seat Question: Have any Women Actually Fallen In?

[front2back]

Obviously it's common courtesy to put the toilet seat down when you are in the dwelling of or share a dwelling with a woman, as the female to male ratio increases even more so. Trust me I have gotten bonked before for not doing so.

The often cited reason I hear to do this is to prevent women from falling into the toilet, the seat being the thin white circle saving them from a catastrophe.

However, this explanation never made sense to me because it's such an obvious thing to avoid. Unless drunk there really is no excuse to diving your behind onto a toilet without looking first. On that, even at night your eyes have adjusted and a toilet outline is quite visible whether it's up or down, and I say this as someone who has Lasik surgery and thus suffers with night vision. Lastly in my experience it's easy to just touch whether the seat is up or down based on the cover because with a seat up it will have a noise from the seat and cover tapping against each other.

So really other than laziness, the actual issue in my view is that it isn't courteous to the women. This should suffice on my own in my opinion because unless it's a real issue the toilet dunks sound more like a scary story to warn inattentive men of their inactions.
I have to lift the seat up to only pee and obviously check for that so I don't piss on the seat, so I fail to see how this logic can't be applied in reverse.

As an experiment this year I've been leaving the toilet cover down as well as the seat to see if I got complaints and so far none have sufficed.

So girls how often does this toilet bowl bottom exchange with a lifted seat actually happen? In occurrences that it did was it from assuming and committing to the squat or a genuine mistake?

Yes falling into the bowl is real, it is a major isuse

Falling into the bowl happens but is very rare

I don't have a problem with falling in

I'm a male aka toilet seat crane operator

It was more of an issue when I was a kid and had a smaller body. I grew up with 4 brothers and we all shared one toilet. I kind of fell in a couple of times in the middle of the night, and after that I just got in the habit of checking the seat before using the toilet. It’s not a big deal at all. Sometimes my husband will leave the seat up and I just put it down, whatever.

But in South Park, Clyde’s mom died when she fell into the toilet and got stuck, so there’s that. Lol

It's the same as worrying that people will fall down an elevator if it happens to not be there when they get in. All it takes is looking in first to see if the elevator is actually there before getting in. So I don't know why these accidents happen at all. I don't get mad about toilet seats.
