Yes, I know this question has been asked before, but it's been awhile...
Let 's see what the latest results are.
After you're finished using the toilet, do you leave the seat up or down?

Apparently, you're talking about the lid. I always leave it up. The ONLY reason to put it down is to either hide what's in the toilet because it can't be flushed or, you just need someplace to sit down or, you use it to rest your foot on while drying your legs after a bath. Kinda defeats the purpose of the shower, though! You JUST washed your feet so, now, you're going to place them on a germ-ridden device used for excrement, piss and vomit?
Seat and lid down. Minimizes aerosolized particles in the air.

Toilet seat down. If you leave it up and have your phone on the counter or anything else accidentally fall in, it's on you and nobody else. Having the seat down is especially needed for the bathroom that has a shower, since you'd want to put your clean clothes on the lid and not the floor.
At home I leave the seat down and lid up. But in public loos I lift the seat to screw with the mind of the next girl.

The toilets in my house are always seat down and lid up
u Down. I share a restroom with several females at work and i hear about it if i leave the seat up!
I vote for seat down. I pee and poop sitting down, and it's easier to sit on the toilet with the seat down. I really only see a reason to lift it up when I'm cleaning the bowl. I suppose I could lift the seat up from time to time throughout the day just to make it look like a real man lives here, but that's too much work for me when the only audience is myself and I see through my deceit easily enough.
I mean, feel free to leave it down but don't come bitching to me saying there's piss splatter on the seat. I'm not lifting it up to take a piss then putting it back down, that's a woman's responsibility. Your problem, your responsibility.
Always seat down for me. I have learned very well overtime to urinate while standing up with the seat down. If I get some droplets on the seat, I can just wipe them off immediately with toilet paper. No big deal. I try to minimize touching the toilet seat with my hands as much as possible. Just gross to me. Also, there are times, especially when I first wake up, I rather sit when I pee.
I have to leave the toilet seat down or my dogs will try and drink from it.. and before you ask, yes I am CONSTANTLY changing their drinking water every couple of hours! They are just fascinated by it.
Why is everyone talking about the lid when this question is about the seat? Well, seat down, obviously, but I don't know what to do with the lid. I feel like there are pros and cons to either.
I move it up and down. When I'm urinating, I keep it in the up position. Otherwise, I keep it down.
SEAT AND LID DOWN.
At home I usually sit to pee, so the seat is almost always down.
I put it down afterwards. Mom taught me that one.
Seat down for the wife. Don't want her falling in
Lid down too it keeps the 💩 in the toilet. Mythbusters did an episode on this you should watch it.
We are civilized in our house. Down always.
u I have several bathrooms I leave them up I live alone. I keep them up and I use one bathroom for number two so that stays down.
If it’s up that means you flushed and everything inside the toilet got splashed around the toilet and on it. And on you. Nasty.
Seat down lid down... It looks tidier in my opinion
I voted up but I just went back to check and the seat and lid were both down. The mind plays strange tricks sometimes.
up in the men's room. Down in a shared bathroom
My wife trained me to put the seat down.
