I close it so there is less poop water spraying all over the bathroom.

I literally don’t give a shit about the seat up or down, but close the lid ffs. Stop spray germs all over my toothbrush.

Also, I don’t care what direction the toilet paper goes. I don’t even look at it when I put a new roll in. I’m a free spirit.

If you take the toilet seat up or down debate seriously I can only assume you're a tulpa conjured from the brain of a hack boomer comedian

It could also be solved by everyone putting the seat and lid up, what's your point?

I always close the lid when I’m not using my toilet. So do my wife and kid. It’s weird that people leave theirs open.

I don't even piss standing up anymore, but I'm still a firm believer in the concept of "it really isn't that hard to just look before you sit".

Flushing with the lid up is gross. I do not want to have poo particles flying around and landing on my toothbrush. But maybe that is just me... ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Just sit down to pee, losers.

The lid always goes down when not in use at my house.

"It's a shit receptacle, not a water feature" has been repeated to anyone who doesn't know the rule.

It is also the best option as it reduces bacterial spreading whipe flushing.

Also keeps the fecal aerosol to a minimum.

Lid down is a win for everyone.

Lid down gang. Stop leaving your toilet seats up.

I genuinely cannot understand why someone wouldn't want their seat and lid down at all times when not in use.

I think it is solved by having a urinal be standard in a home bathroom. People like having a shower and a separate tub. Same.

Always keep the lid down to minimize poop spray!

That's what I do. It's gross to keep it up in any orientation of up.

I never understood the debate. Ensure it's how you need it before doing your thing. Applies equally to all individuals for any scenario. Not difficult.

I have convinced a few people in my life to close the lid by telling them. Stand completely naked by an open toilet then flush it and just feel all that water splash for that time. Repeat again with closed lid if need be. Most the water you don't see but can feel it land on you. Now just think about all the stuff it lands on and you touch in your bathroom like your toothbrush.

The one thing that really bothers me is when I see people walk up to a urinal and flush it and just stand there letting all the stuff get all over themselves from the last guy. Also on the same note people who fake washing their hands then particularly don't dry them. Like WTF all you are doing is making little pools of bacteria to have a spa day. Then you leave those little pools on every thing you touch. I rather you not fucking wash your hands at all. And yes people notice you acting like a 5 year old who doesn't want to wash his hands because mommy told him to. Your a 35 year old grown ass man Jerry. Wash your hands for real. WTF.

BTW I'm a guy if you haven't guessed and I thank you for reading about my thoughts as I fall asleep.

Do your business on the floor next to the toilet, problem solved. No more flipping seats.

Toilets are gross. Put the lid down. There is some study I read that said flushing the toilet throws lots of bacteria into the room. Shut the lid before you flush.

It could also be solved by everybody always putting the seat up ...

But it won't because everybody not agreeing on one course of action is the more fundamental problem.

You're basically just saying "This disagreement could be solved if everybody would agree".

In other words: just pee and crap sitting down

Ive always put the lid down along with the seat. I believe its more sanitary and has the added benefit of women not falling fully in the bowl like when the seats up. Ive done this for about 15 years.

A few years after I started doing this, I was spending the night at my friend's house. I had to get up early to go to work, so I was first up. My friends mother got up next apparently. I was bombarded with texts and such, her mom was angry because she got up and went to the bathroom and just went for it after she sat down. Queue giant liquid waste mess to clean and an angry start to her day.

All these years later, I still think its one of the funniest things I've ever been part of in real life.

Everybody saying keep the lid down for hygiene reason are missing the most important reason to keep the lid closed. Anything dropped or falling will inexorably end into the toilet if the lid is up.

At home I leave it down, of I'm at a dive bar or something I leave the seat up so the next guy won't piss all over the seat. That benefits everyone.

"This debate would be solved if everyone would just agree to one choice."

it's the default solution in my house because of the cats
