Guys, do you leave the toilet seat up?

[_Maya_]

For the girls, does your guy do this?

Yeah, I leave it up.

No, I put it down.

[A_Bell]

This is what drives me crazy about my own sex. Likely brought on by having 5 sisters (poor dad.)

We are supposedly capable human beings, strong, who don't need a man, but it seems beyond us to check to see if a toilet seat is up or down. I think I learned that lesson when I was 4.

Instead of solving the issue like reasonable people who deserve our right to vote, and take agency over our circumstances, we blame men for wronging us. In reality, they are reducing mess and doing the household a favor instead of peeing on the seat.

Any woman knows that even women can't keep pee and even period blood off the seat of a public restroom, and we sit point blank range from the opening.

For God's sake, take some responsibility.

Thank you for listening to years of frustration.

[ShesRad80]

i actually leave the seat up as a girl the whole thing, once done. it circulates air in the bowl and keeps it neutral in smell when not in use.

[Still-alive]

Dayamn lol. guys should love you

[FireFox001]

I either leave it up or put the lid down as well. This is how it goes:

If I find a toilet with the seat down, I lift it up.

If someone after me finds the toilet seat up, they put it down.

This is such a non-issue, I can't believe people even make a fuss about it.

If I happen to pee in three streams, which happen to guys quite more than you'd think, I get one of those disinfectant wipes I keep around and clean up. If the floor gets hit, I wash it up immediately.

It's so goddamn simple.

[pierre7i]

After I pee, I wipe the top of the toilet bowl AND the floor in front of it with a tissue (a 'wetwipe' when I'm home) to ensure everything is clean then I put the seat down.

Guys who leave it up, and don't even bother to check the floor is clean are gross and have absolutely no manners at all (imho !)

[Ellewatts]

IKR
but have seen some guys pee their pee pee shoots out at angles 30 and 90 at the same time
BTFW: u need to clean ur pee after U pee...

[coachTanthony]

Girls, do you leave the toilet seat down after you use it? Know your worth fellas.

[Sonorous]

I close it all before I flush. I do this to keep most of the toilets particles out of the air as it flushes.

[_Maya_]

As you should.

[Sonorous]

Funny though because I live with a female that said she kinda annoyed by it. 🤣

[_Maya_]

She be crazy then 😆

[Sonorous]

Nah she just got bladder issues so she likes to just run in their & sit rather doin a whole bunch 🤣

[_Maya_]

You're a good dude them. Much respect.

[_Maya_]

*then

[Sonorous]

Nah I be forgetting to leave it up 🤣 now it's a habit to put it all down

[_Maya_]

I love this opinion 😆

[Sonorous]

🤣 I should write a note on the bathroom mirror to remind myself.

The bathroom mirror is a good spot because I'm so insecure that I legit can't walk by it without checking to see if I still look normal 💀

[Losalt]

In Germanic countries in Europe the *norm* is to *sit* on the toilet, also for guys.
So this has never really been a issue for me.
But on the rare occasions where I haven't, like when it's just too gross to use, honestly I just left it untouched, except to use some toilet paper to flush it (or in a especially bad case, a bucket)...

I figured that if it's too bad for me to sit sg it's probably too bad for a girl too...

[stratford]

Oh, the grand old Duke of York,
He had a toilet seat;
He lifted it up to do a pee
Then he it put it down again.

When it was up, it was up,
And when it was down, it was down,
And when it was only halfway up,
It was neither up nor down.

[Miristheiss]

I just leave it the way it is. If I go number 2 I just leave it down. If I go number 1 I leave it up.

I am under no obligation to leave it one way or the other. You are an adult... check the seats status.

I could just as easily need to go number 1 and accuse you of not leaving the seat UP for me.

That is childish if anyone even brings up how you "left the seat"

[Bricealan]

The age old question. I don't like to clean up my own urine off of or around the toilet bowl , so I sit and don't P*** all over the place. I do close the lid, and have a Toto Silent lid that doesn't slam shut. No wise cracks, please! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️😂😂😂😂😂😂

[ManOnFire]

So here is the crazy thing: every single woman I've known who's been to my place has always left the toilet seat up, and at their house they do the same thing. This is so completely puzzling to me because growing up you would hear women complain how annoying it is that men leave the seat up. I have never done it. Leaves me scratching my head.

[Likes2drive]

I put it down for a few reasons and the lid , when you flush there is always some particulate matter that comes up in water vapor and I also don’t want to accidentally drop something in it when doing things near it. Don’t have any woman here so it’s just something I normally do

[Pete671]

I'm a cleaner in a small supermarket without public toilets, on the two days a week I work on my own, I put both the seats and the lids up after cleaning hahahaha!!! by the way my partner is female and she puts both the lid and seat down,,,

[Pete671]

Thanks Maya!!!

[_Maya_]

You're welcome!!

[DaveJord]

Here is a secret just for you. As a guy that lives alone and does not live in a pig pen... you pee sitting down. It just less messy, requires less cleaning.

[Pacquet]

I regularly close the lid when I flush the toilet cause when you flush all the particles left into the air and you inhale it and it gets on your tooth brush and other things around in the bathroom. Look up any infared video on YouTube of flushing so you can see what I mean. The toilet lid is the only way to stop the particulars from lifting up into the air.

[AydenHazor]

I'm unusual for a guy in that, not only do I leave the seat down, but I'll sit every time I go to the bathroom so there's never the remote possibility that I'll leave the seat up

[_Maya_]

I got no problem with that.

[AydenHazor]

A lot of people think I'm weird for it, including several women. 🤷‍♂️

[_Maya_]

Eh let them think whatever.

[AydenHazor]

Agreed

[Anonymous]

Actually, no. My s/o and I paid for a toilet seat cover that adds a little atmosphere to a room that otherwise, to be fair, does not have much of an atmosphere, so I make a point of putting the seat down so that the cover can be seen.

Seems like a minor thing, but there it is.

[FunkyMonkee]

Why do I have to go to the pisser in the middle of the night and try to find the seat to lift it up to pee? Why can't she hunt for it to put it down? What makes her more special than me? If she's too sleepy to check to see if it's down, what about if I'm too sleepy to check to see if it's up?

[_Maya_]

Why do I have to go to the pisser in the middle of the night and try to find the seat to put it down to pee? Why can't he hunt for it to put it up? What makes him more special than me? If he's too sleepy to check to see if it's down, what about if I'm too sleepy to check to see if it's up?

[_Maya_]

See how that works?

[FunkyMonkee]

Exactly! If you have to pee, check to see if the seat is how you like it!
Only difference is, I'm not about to go plopping MY ass into that cold water when I pee so, I'd make sure the seat was down before going if I was a girl!

[Potteplante]

Everyone who enters my home put it down.

It's nasty as fuck when people flush with the lid open.

[kakaling]

Because up is cleaner, you had no idea just how many guys, don't lift the toilet seat up before peeing. Uneducated is scary.

[_Maya_]

Take a look at the guy that brought up equal rights. 😆

[Apple1996]

My guy just pees with the seat like normal. Never puts it up. I don't get why guys do that tbh like learn how to aim

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I don't think you can relate about aiming. It's like if I tell you to just learn to stand while peeing.

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara I've potty trained two boys so I can relate on some level since I've had to teach them how to aim/be clean

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Like how old are they? Like 3? I don't think theirs's is comparable to fully grown men's dicks. Unless you're potty training them as teens?

[Aiko_E_Lara]

And you may have forgotten about height difference as well.

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara my older kids are 9 and 6. Other boys will be potty training in the next few years. And little boys are more likely to make messy compared to grown men yet my kids still learn how to stay clean

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara my kids stand on a step stool to pee so they are the same height as some adults

[Aiko_E_Lara]

If they're that tall, they're pretty much old enough to be potty trained unless you're spying on them for you to confirm it. You may not know it tho but implying they're really old enough to be that tall on a step stool, they may still leave splatter on the toilet seat but they just clean it up.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

And if they're "kids", they may not hit puberty yet so they don't know what it's like peeing with a boner. We put the toilet seat up incase if we leave a mess, it's easier to clean it that way. Is it really that hard to put the toilet seat down? We don't complain about putting it up and having to wipe our own mess.

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara my ones that aren't potty trained are babies. Older ones are obviously fully trained but I still see them since our doors are always open. And umm you do realize all boys get erections even as babies in the womb. My kids definitely have peed like that. Yes if they make a mess they clean it up

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I do realize that we do get erection as babies but the question is how often compared to when you're an adult? Big difference. I'm even talking about the size.

"Yes if they make a mess they clean it up" Pretty much what most guys would do. And if they don't make a mess, you just assume they're really good at aiming which is the problem here. Like I said, is it that hard to put the toilet seat down? We don't complain about having to put it up so that we can clean it easier.

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara kids get them more often then adults since the body is constantly testing blood flow. They literally get hard from the air hitting it

And I don't even use their bathroom so they could do whatever they want in there but still never a issue of them wanting to put it up since I taught them differently

[Aiko_E_Lara]

It's because you're there to see them make a mess all the time because you know, they're kids and they need to be supervised. And they lack the patience and responsibility to care about wiping up their messes. If it's not an issue then why even teach guys to aim rather than to just raise the toilet seats up? You have it so backwards if you think aiming is easier than cleaning up.

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara not true my oldest son has ocd and enjoys cleaning so he definitely does not lack the responsibility to be clean. And I just taught them the same thing my husband does tbh

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I'm not even talking about your oldest son. Can you read again? You're talking about kids being messier there for I'm talking about kids. "It's because you're there to see them make a mess all the time because you know, they're KIDS and they need to be supervised. And they lack the patience and responsibility to care about wiping up their messes."

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara kids can be clean to think less of them is ridiculous. If they are dirty it's because their parents didn't teach them right

[Aiko_E_Lara]

And if your oldest son cleans up when he's done, that has nothing to do with aiming well. He still do make a mess but he's cleaning up. And if you really can relate then you would've really know what's going on. But apparently you don't. You just think you do just because you have sons.

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara I probably know more than a man considering I've had to teach it. y'all only know how to pee in a toilet because someone taught you

[Aiko_E_Lara]

" kids get them more often then adults since the body is constantly testing blood flow." <--- That's what you said. Ironically you're the one generalizing kids about making mess more than adults. And because it's true generally speaking and I explained it to you, you're now taking it back? Nice try.

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara the issue of not putting the seat down comes from how the boys were taught. Obviously some parents do teach this and the boy doesn't listen so not counting them.

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara the men that voted A need to be potty trained again

[Aiko_E_Lara]

"peeing in a toilet" but itself has nothing to do with training how to aim. It's just a natural instinct to actually just aim but being pixel perfect about it, who the hell lets their sons drink litters of water so they can start their toilet target practice? You don't even need to go to a shooting school to shoot someone.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Well I could say thesame thing for women leaving their toilet seats down. They need to be potty trained again and pee like men.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

And here I thought you have no problems with men leaving toilet seats up. Make up your mind not your face.

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara everyone should sit since it's better on the bladder

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara I don't have a issue of what people do in their own homes. If they wanna piss in their sinks idc but I'd consider them dirty

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Just like people pissing on the sink which you consider it dirty, you also consider it dirty if someone does it to your sink so you do have issues with it because of the fact that you're considering it dirty which is a negative description to give.

And what you have no idea about is how we get it on the walls if we do sit and pee. In nature, is there even natural object that resembles a toilet that humans naturally use that makes you conclude that sitting is better for our bladder? That's like the biggest myth ever. Men have already been peeing while standing up since prehistoric times since is the most convenient thing to do.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Also, you girls hover your butts over the toilet in public restrooms and leave mess around your legs and the toilet seats. Now try perfecting the art of aiming unless you wanna be potty trained again.

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara standing up to pee causes prostate issues.
And honestly I don't use public bathrooms and I don't make messes when I pee even in nature while standing/squating

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Like i've said, men have been standing up while peeing for millenniums so why is it a problem now? Are you sure that's the only factor? Considering how much of a bad habit people have nowadays? I could say the same thing about women having breast cancers for not leaving the toilet seats up.

Your pussy must've look like a dick then. But that's not really how pussies look in reality which is why I don't buy it. There's a sole reason why urinals for male exist and why women sit down when they pee. It's basic biology and you should've known better for being a parent.

[Billlewis]

'Potty trained'... that's so humiliating... lol

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara no one biologically should be using a toilet or urinal.
And wtf no I just know how to not make a mess from giving birth you can't pee towards the vag for obvious reasons so I learned how to pee in a way to avoid the mess

[Apple1996]

@Billlewis you need to be potty trained? Lol

[Billlewis]

I think I'm pretty good at aiming, but maybe you'd like me to start sitting down when I'm peeing, like a little girl.

[Apple1996]

@Billlewis yep that's how I start off my kids. They have to sit for awhile first

[Billlewis]

Very nice. If you'd like me to sit when I urinate from now on, please let me know, thanks.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Ok then I assume you yourself have a toilet at home and it would be quite hypocritical for you to say that. Also how is it any different when a guy stands up while peeing anywhere else to a urinal when men just have to do the exact same thing to a urinal to peeing in nature? This is why I'd feel bad for kids being raised by delusional parents.

That's the only logical conclusion knowing how the shape of their holes look making the water flow different to men's when standing up. That's basic biology and if you somewhat "learned" how to do it cleanly when standing up, that would ironically be unnatural because that's something you have to "learn" which isn't really a natural instinct.

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara peeing standing isn't natural for men. y'all are suppose to be squating or sitting too. Even natural things have to be taught especially at young ages. If you had kids you'd know this

[Aiko_E_Lara]

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/.../ theconversation.com/does-it-matter-if-you-sit-or-stand-to-pee-and-what-about-peeing-in-the-shower-206869 Here you go. Read the one highlighted in purple at the bottom part. Do you think early people wouldn't really figure that out? I don't have kids and it's ironic that I know better than you.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

"Comparing the standing with the sitting position, for patients with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) the sitting voiding position is preferable to the standing. However, there is medically no superior posture for healthy men to urinate in."

I didn't even know about this article but it turns out im right after all. Because that's a "natural instinct". You're just trying to make men like women maybe it's because you think it's a privilege that we're able to pee while standing up which is why you're giving your kids a hard time? Boohoo.

[SaoirseS]

We use the “put it how you need it” method. If it’s up and I need it down, I put it down. If it’s down and he needs it up, he puts it up. We’re big kids, we got this 😀

[andreasderjuengere]

I close it. Because after using the toilet, that's the other function of that lid.

I always try to use the full technical potential of a device.

[shortster]

I always put the lid down before I flush. Flushing a toilet launches bacteria two meters into the air. Putting the lid down stops them at the lid. So you don't spread bacteria and whatever else goes flying up when you flush.
