Put the seat and the lid down before flushing.
I just put the lid down but I still leave the seat up when flushing.
That's a weird loo. :)
There's a University of Cork study showing that putting the lid down aerosolises more material so spreads bacteria etc. over the whole room, whereas having the lid open produces a smaller number of larger droplets that nearly all just fall straight back into the toilet. The lid is not sealing the toilet and preventing the need to clean the bathroom.
People of the penile persuasion can sit while peeing. It is very easy to do.
not with morning wood
Why do you have morning wood at a public toilet
I cannot believe my morning erections are being judged by trash girlfriend.
If you properly close a toilet seat/lid, everyone has to open it before using it, I don't see what the big deal is
Also, if it's not a weird toilet seat that doesn't have a lid, you should be putting it down to reduce the number of particles that get into the air...
I'm a woman and will leave the seat up at work (not at home)
We have unisex toilets and truck drivers use them - they regularly wee all over the toilet seats if left down :(
if there is a lid - always down
if there is no lid - always up
it is the safest, cleanest, fairest option
Pooping is what unites us
Peeing while seated unites us
It seems like at least half of men can't aim anyway, so it's better to just sit down.
Even when aim is there, splashing occurs. It really shows that some men never had to clean their own bathrooms.
Also fuck you if you piss standing up in a stall when there's pissoirs outside.
You want privacy for your little weenie, sit your ass down and scroll on your phone like normal people do.
Especially the ones who don't have to clean the bathroom
Sit to pee for all. Solves all problems.
I've been to men's restroom before. I wouldn't sit on that unless extremely necessary. Even then, I'd wipe that ship clean and cover it in toilet paper first
I do wonder if they all sat whether that'd solve it, though. That is, if it'd be cleaner. Or maybe they don't need to sit to keep it clean. Idk
But like, if men pee with the seat up, but both men and women poop with the seat down, then statistically the seat is already down more than half of the time. Now if we enforce a policy like this, that would mean more than half of the times someone walks in and needs the seat to be down is in luck, but the rest has to do double the "work". And if someone goes in after someone who would have otherwise left the seat up, they too do double the work, so the seat changes position 4 times instead of once. I think it's much more "just" to simply change the seat whenever you need it and sometimes you will even find it in the position you need it in.
I poo standing up. You can't force me.
I once jokingly mentioned to my wife that leaving the seat up is just as convenient for me as leaving it down is for her. To which she pointed out that, of the four different permutations of toilet use between us, 3/4 require the seat to be down, so all in all, it makes sense to leave the seat down.
And dammit, I had to marry a logical autistic, didn't I?
So now I always (try to remember to) leave the seat down.
I tend to sit down to pee most times (at home), so that ratio is even higher for us..
autistic women are the best
Leave the seat down so when you flush you won't inhale your poop and pee.
Cmon it's not hard.
Edit: and lid.
I think just being an organism with an anus leads to higher levels of poop exposure than whatever minuscule amount of particulate matter that manages to aerosolize from an unlided flush
Yes, but I already have all the diseases that I have. I don't need to add all the diseases everyone else has too, or vice versa.
Biased how. Do the math. Half of us sit down to pee, all of us sit down to shit.
Also, as someone with male plumbing, we can also sit down to pee. So everyone can sit to pee, and half of us can't.
Biased meaning only men have to do any work, women never have to (if it's left down always)
True neutral would be last used position.
If you raise it, put it back down when you're done. If you put it down, put it back up when you're done. That seems fair.
Alternatively, if there's a lid, close the lid when you're done. Then everyone is equally "inconvenienced".
I always close the lid so things don't fall in
Very silly post. Reactionary gender war nonsense. Everyone can and does and should sit down, that's why it's unisex. It's not that complicated.
There's better things to hitch your identity and ego to than the way your dad told you to piss.
This is a shit take literally. Why would I sit down to pee if I don’t have to? That’s more contact with the gross toilet.
Did you know this isn't a discussion at all in most of the world? People do whatever and no one is bothered by it. I only ever see this in American media.
I put the lid down, don't want toilet water splashing all over the place when you flush.
Soft close toilet seats should be standard equipment.
Then putting the lid down is a matter of a single light push.
I never understood the whole "you left the toilet seat up" complaint. Never been an issue in my family but have heard "he never puts the seat down" all the time. Is it that much effort to put the toilet seat down when you need to go?
Edit: Always close the toilet seat cover, not just lowering the toilet seat. This is for both men and women.
Toilet seats are fully operational by anyone, (it's true I checked). How about instead of trying to police everyone you just put it up or down yourself and stfu?
Seeing this sign would ensure I go out of my way to leave it up.
If this was a male-only bathroom I'd still totally agree with the content of the sign.
If you want to pee standing, use the urinal. I, as a man, don't enjoy sitting in some other person's pee either.
My brother used to say, if i have to lift it up why shouldn't my wife have to put it down?
I see his point but, i close the lid to flush so i don't have to brush my teeth with a pissy shit particle covered toothbrush.
Can people do what they need to do without anybody policing them? Seat up or down who cares?
This issue always baffles me.
The amazing thing about owning a penis is that I can still pee sitting down and there's never any drama. Have to poop? Don't even have to move! Have to fart? Go for it! Not farting in your underwear makes them smell fresher for longer, anyway.
No no no. In public restrooms better to leave the seat up so that when people pee standing up the toilet water droplets don't get on the seat.
I pee standing up in public and know the mess it can cause.
