How to convince DH to put the toilet lid down before he flushes?!

It's driving me mad. I've asked 194748474 times and all I get is "yeah sorry I'll try and remember". He leaves the lid up, flushes, and the whole bathroom constantly stinks of piss. I've tried explaining that he's just coated the whole bathroom in piss particles, makes no difference. I've told him how important it is to me, makes no difference. I've told him that if he gets a virus including coronavirus he makes it a heap more likely we all catch it if the bathroom is coated in his piss particles, makes no difference.

When we eventually get the bathroom redone I'll be chosing the toilet on the basis of whether the handle is hidden behind the toilet lid.

I leave the lid up as our cats like to drink out of the toilet bowl Grin only put the lid down if there's cleaner in there so they don't get sick.

@MissPiggee DH always puts it down, I only had to tell him once about the shit particles flying all over the bathroom. He was so horrified he's always closed it!

It’s obviously good for your immune system, because I’ve never died and I always leave the lid up, plus I have toilet brushes.

OH has sole use of en suite, never stinks of piss, are you sure his aim isn't off?

Do people go out of their way to find things to worry about? I am very fortunate to have a strong mental constitution and am rarely anxious. Just wondering if it is people worrying about non issues like this that has everyone feeling anxious all the time?

Maybe his aim isn’t as good as you think.

Maybe the toilet and bathroom need a better clean?

But I doubt it’s flushing with the lid up which is the issue here.

If you flush without closing the lid...droplets of the water etc get sprayed into the bathroom...gross
CLOSE THE LID
