Loo seat

Is it unreasonable to remind husband to put loo seat down after having a piss ? This has been a problem for only a few weeks but am now getting bloody irritated 😠
Am I just being an irritable human being?

Lid should be closed for flushing regardless so just leave lid and seat down

This. It's unhygienic to leave the lid up.

I listened to something really interesting the other day and I'm not discounting your irritation as I completelyyyy get it 🤣 but....when a man goes to the toilet he has to lift the seat and put down the seat to keep the females in the home happy..when a woman goes she doesn't have to lift anything? Is that fair or if he lifts it and you put it down is that more equal! Sorry it annoyed me so much too 🤣

Thank you . That is a very different perspective ,so maybe I will stop being so annoyed!

Each person should just leave it where it is. Easy.

I always leave the loo seat down ! Just me and husband until a few weeks ago . I don’t think it is him deliberately doing it ,but am getting really annoyed about it and irritable! Came home this evening running to the loo and could have fractured my coccyx if I hadn’t noticed!!

Leaving the seat up is a micro-aggression, and is a disrespectful symptom of the patriarchy. You should LTB.

If he leaves it down for you, do you have to leave it up for him ?

fourplusfour · 19/11/2023 22:25

Sorry I just realised I had assumed you were only putting the seat down. I apologise if you're not.

fourplusfour · 19/11/2023 22:24

You should both be putting the lid down. So you're both bu.
