Can't you just put it down yourself? What's the big deal? Or am I sterotyping?

Perhaps I'be been henpecked but I like the user to leave both seat and lid down. A simple act of care that somehow gives me reassurance that someone has tended the throne. Either that or there's something unspeakable beneath...

Giant, you're talking about the public one or the one at home?

at work we have unisex toilets ....and whilst I have laughed at the footprints on the toilet seat from the local ladies the other side of the toilet seat can be um er at a certain time of the calender.......so its not just all about leaving the seat down...............

Dr Charles Gerba has studied germ counts in the house and discovered the right way to flush the toilet - with the lid down.

If you flush with the lid up, a polluted aerosol spray of bacteria and water (also known as the F3 force: Fecal Fountain Factor) erupts out of the flushing toilet bowl. These particles of poop, etc. can remain in the bathroom air for a few hours before they come back to 'land' - 'land' includes your tooth brush.

So the question should really be: Why do you guys leave the toilet lid up?

It is almost impossible to exaggerate the complete unimportance of almost everything.

Surely leaving it up or down depends on knowing if the next person to use the toilet needs to stand or sit? An act of prediction I wouldn't care to bother myself with.

Thus I leave the seat as I last used it.





You used to speak the truth.

if you are that anal about germs, go live in a glass house and connect your colon directly to a tube eliminating yur $^%# without any contact to the air you breathe.

oh and dont forget never leave your glass stulp. as once you breathe air normal people breathe, you will die of infections instantly.

But someone did:

http://www.scq.ubc.ca/?p=108

It computes the amount of 'work' a couple would have to do to put the lid up if they need it, or down, even if they don't. Comes out to:

In the morning guy leaves the seat up after performing #1.
In the evening he puts it down.

perhaps it is better to simply p**s in the shower, to solve all arguments?

I don't care if it's up or down, but it must be clean swept.

I've had to use the hole in the floor types twice recently and found it to be far better than expected - and no lid, so no dilemma

Problem with those holes in the ground toilets... you end up standing in loads of p**s on the floor and you p**s on your legs if your not careful
