To not understand the toilet seat up/found thing?

[Shadeflower]

Some women seem to get very upset at men who leave the toilet seat up.

He needs it up, I need it down. Why is worse that I have to put it down than he has to put it up? So long as he's using it up and I get a clean seat, why does it matter?

Never thought about it tbh. It’s always down in this house! Just is. And I’ve no idea why all these men seem to be peeing on toilet seats, DP has never done that! 😂

He needs it down some of the time, you need it down all of the time.

plus it’s more hygienic when flushing to have seat down

It’s not just ‘the seat’ that’s the issue here…it’s the whole lid/seat combo. Leaving these up is just rude in my opinion. Germs flying everywhere when you flush, plus it’s aesthetically ugly. Nobody wants to see the open toilet!

But the seat being left up by a bloke is just bad manners…if I go to the loo in the middle of the night, I don’t turn on lights as I fumble along in my half awake state. Sitting down onto a piss covered porcelain at 2am is gross! Not only that, you end up half way down the toilet as you slip on it…not great 🥴

Women also, on average, pee more than men.

So let's say a woman needs the seat down for 100% of six visits a day, and a man needs it down for 20% of five visits a day, then it needs to be down for 7/11 visits.

Plus, y'know, it looks nicer.

Count your blessings! I’m a teacher and the boys toilets in schools are UTTERLY disgusting! Not even joking…they stink of pee and the floors/seats are wet with pee from around 10am daily. It’s honestly the worst smell…and my classroom is right next to the boys toilets. All I smell all day is piss.

For crying out loud. Everyone should be putting the lid down so everyone has to lift the lid (and seat for men who stand) and put it down before flushing. Hygiene and all that. Women get upset by men leaving everything their way because so many men are f*ing selfish in many other areas in the home.

Oh god @CheddarCheeseAndCrispSandwich that sounds awful 😂 🤢 I am definitely counting them! We also had my 15 year old DSS and he’s remarkably clean too!

I agree, I was brought with a sister and my dad was very prude and proper - I’m sure he’d have put it down but I don’t remember because it never became a thing and I’m the same now. i don’t care as long as it’s left clean - I’m going to wash my hands anyway!
