Should women start leaving the toilet seat up?

Post Reply New Topic

On another forum, I was in a thread about women wanting men to leave toilet seats down when they are finished and a couple posts in it cracked me up.


Since women expect men to leave the seats down, maybe women should start leaving them up when they are through. Put the seat up when they are finished and men can use it and then put the seat down when they are finished and when the woman uses it, she can put it up when she is through. There now both men and women are even.

Where is the poll option "it doesn't matter one way or another"?

Toilet seats and men is just one of those societal pet-peeves which every woman has been told about from young age, and they demand it because they've been told to demand it.

This should have nothing to do with gender. If your toilet tends to smell funny or the house has a history of creepy crawlies hiding in sewer pipes, then keep the lid down which by default requires the seat to be down as well. If the toilet is fine with being left uncovered, then it is irrelevant if the seat is left down or up.

If a man is living alone they should always leave the seat up.. if a woman lives alone they should always leave it down.

When a man and woman lives together they should assume that the next person to use the toilet will be the other person so from now on after using the toilet in a mixed gender household the women should put the seat up and the men should put the seat down.

If you go 1 further where there is 2 men and 1 woman living in the house the woman should always put the seat up but the men should only put the seat down half of the time.

Yeah, why not?

i think its a great idea.im very much pro-equality in all areas.

Of course, it did cause a rift between Patty and Selma once.

How about just getting one of those toilet seats that they use in public toilets where there is a gap in the front of the seat?

Men don't have to raise it but they still won't dribble on the front of the seat?

Aside: For a great juvenile joke, raise the toilet seat and stretch cling wrap across the toilet and then lower the seat.
The next person will get a big surprise.

I always close the toilet completely, so everyone has to lift something. But mostly because when I flush, I don't want toilet water/urine/fecal matter to be spewed all over the bathroom so it can form a bacterial colony on my toothbrush. Naturally I don't trust others to do the same, so now I just keep my toothbrush in a seperate room all together

I do that too, I think it's enough plus.... after use, same process and I put it away clean also.

I always put the lid down as I have a strange aversion to flushing with it up and seeing all the swirling water. No males live in my house atm so the seat is always down, but having been in a house with males and females cohabitating, the seat up thing never bothered me. However, puddles on the floor in front of the bowl really p*ssed me off

I don't care whether other people leave the toilet seat up or down.

I always look at a toilet before I use it so I can verify that the seat is in the position where I want it to be.

If other people would do the same then they would have fewer problems using toilets.

I've never met anyone who's actually cared about toilet seats.

I've never understood what the problem is...guys have to put the seat down too (#2) and we never accidentally forget and fall in

We leave the seats down at our house though, so the pets don't drink from it.

Also, it's pronounced "turlet".

I once saw a cat drink out of the loo, it was so disgusting that I made a point of always leaving the lid down from that one onwards.
