Airman1270 0 #1 November 9, 2005 My intent here is not to get into a useless debate about guys leaving the seat up. (Personally, my attitude is "open when in use, closed when not in use.") Over my many years on this planet, I've noticed that many of you ladies who complain about the seat are yourselves guilty of leaving the lid open. I believe that, in addition to it being more asthetically pleasing, closing the lid prevents things from being accidentally dropped in, which must then be retrieved, and provides the added bonus of keeping the thirsty dog away. Your thoughts? Cheers, Jon S. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAC 0 #2 November 9, 2005 I said seat and lid down because I have this phobia that something might be in the toilet and bite my ass. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your thoughts? Cheers, Jon S. everyone should do their fair share... lift your appropriate lid(s) for your level of business and when finished, return all tray tables and seats to their full down and locked position. And ladies, don't EVEN start bitchin about men having bad aim... you ladies can be pretty fuckin messy on the throne... esp. when Aunt Flow comes to visit. -the artist formerly known as sinker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your thoughts? Cheers, Jon S. I always remember my Grandma saying to put the lid down "becuase no one wants to look in your toilet". I tend to agree. About five years ago there was a Dateline (or some show like that) that showed exactly how unsanitary it is to flush the toilet with the lid up. . . bacterial spray in about a six foot radius. And really, how big is the common bathroom? That convinced my husband and me to throw our toothbrushes away and to religiously put the seat and lid down. _____________ PMS #394 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
namgrunt 0 #6 November 9, 2005 having raised 2 female children and 2 wifes I let the seat up when I am done. that way everyone knows I cared enough to NOT drip on the seat its just as easy for them to set it down as it would have been for to first lift it then lower it. ..59 YEARS,OVERWEIGHT,BALDIND,X-GRUNT LAST MIL.

ladyskydiver 0 #7 November 9, 2005 I voted lid and seat down - that way both have to pick something up and no one needs to worry about something accidentally being dropped into the toilet.

FallinWoman 1 #8 November 9, 2005 I voted for everything down because I love to kiss my cats, and they love to drink out of the toilet. Gross combination. ~Anne I'm a Doll!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
missg8tordivr 0 #9 November 9, 2005 down...mainly because of the animals. My cats like to jump up there to get to the sink, and my dog drinks out of it if it is open *** F LORIDA! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gone_Skiing 0 #12 November 9, 2005 There was a show on recently that went through public bathrooms to see how sanitary (or un-) they are. By far the highest concentrations of germs and bacteria were found on the handles, not just toilet, but the door handles and faucet handles. The toilet seat was really clean by comparison. -Nick-- I used to pray to God for a bicycle. Then I realized God doesn't work that way. So I stole one and prayed for forgiveness.

selbbub78 0 #13 November 9, 2005 agreed! Close the seat, it's just easier that way. Granted if I'm by myself (i live by myself) I might leave the lid open, but usually I'll close it if others are around. It drove me nuts when my ex always left the seat up. When others are around, people should try to be more manner like.
