Because I'm such a compromising spirit I usually wire it between.
what? the seat should be on the seat because seats should seat.
I always close it before flushing for hygienic reasons
When I first lived alone or with guys, the toilet seat stayed up. When I got married, the wife had a few surprises in the middle of the night when she went to sit down on a toilet that she always kept the seat down and the lid up. She pointed this out to me a couple times and I started keeping the seat down but the lid up.
I’ve since stayed in homes where there was a dog and the dog would drink from the toilet if the lid was up. I’ve also gotten an iPhone and I’ve heard that a big failure point is dropping the phone into the toilet, so now, I keep both the seat and the lid down.
I don’t really think about it. There are so many people living in this house I’ve just kind of accepted that things are going to be crazy. There’s a cabinet over our toilet and I’ve dropped a ton of stuff in it by accident, getting things out, which is my biggest concern about it. But I always leave the bathroom door shut because of toddler. Everyone knows not to leave the bathroom door open ever.
Lid should go down too IMO
Lol this is so strange and odd that the poise of such a non-important and meaningless instrument should be the area of main focus and introspection.
top lid up makes it easier for cats to drink from toilet if preferred -- toilet bowl is cleaner than avg cell phone
bottom lid up makes it easier for me to pee -- some ppl sit blind on toilet and fall in; I put bottom lid down now, feels like good practice
I always put the seat and lid down after use, but it doesn't really matter to me one way or the other. I just do that cause it was the rule in my family and it's more hygienic to flush with the lid down anyways
I always put it down and flush for a communal toilet. It's what everyone else should do. In my personal toilet I leave the lid up and flush only like once a day until/unless I poop. I flush before and after poop, with the seat down.
Proper etiquette is to always shut both the lid and the seat. I mean think about when you have company about to come over, people usually do this instinctively. At least ESEs seem to pay attention a lot to this sort of thing. Plus both dogs and cats yeah will drink out of a toilet with the lid up etc. I caught both of my cats doing this sometimes- but I prefer they drink out of their regular kitty bowls.
People's psychological relation to toilets is kinda interesting lol. My sister was telling me about how they never showed a toilet on tv until the 70s or 80s or something.
Lid goes down because one of my cats will stick his whole entire head into the toilet and drink from it. My guy friend does the same but more because of mold.

It depends on where the toilet is.. or whose house its at.
The Bronx is up, but the Battery's down.
Both the seat and lid go down. Trashy to leave either up.
The seat goes down because that's its proper "default" position. All other things being equal it ought to be down. Why is manifold but let's start with the obvious. You're living in a house with a significant other and we'll further assume it's a standard gender pair (that is, a male and a female).
Dude may lift up the seat to take a quick piss and he's right to do that for reasons I need not elaborate on, but the missis needs that seat down no matter what number she needs to tick off to relieve herself. Thus, you put it back down after you're done. Likewise, the missis may be tempted to leave it up after she's done but men do indeed take a shit just like her and after a particularly challenging dinner at Taco Bell or whatever local food joint gives your bowels an involuntary and particularly rigorous "spring cleaning" well... you know where you'd like that seat to be. Ye may not even have the time or inclination to check where that seat is situated when nature calls with the implied vehemence I'm somewhat hoping ya might fail to get...
So yeah, down. It's the default position for damn good reason.
I know that the seat should go down after I'm done, but I never do it.
When I first read this I thought your guy friend was dunking his whole head and drinking from the toilet like your cat - because of mold? Shook my head and had to reread it :lol:Quote:

Problem solved?
Sometimes I put it down, sometimes I leave it up. I live by myself, and I can't be fucked to think about things like this.
when u sittin on the college toilet and u dick dips in and it scrapes the inside of the bowl and it turns out there was active blood on the sides and u get hiv
Gotta keep that seat up, both for natural fragrance, and to keep third parties on their toes. Let the unsuspecting take a dive. :popcorn:
Just pee in the hole in the ground.
I really don't care, it stays in the position of last use and it's up to whoever uses it next to select whatever position they want. Complaining about it will have the opposite of the desired effect, SEI tried it but learned pretty quickly.
Men, please put the toilet seat down. I have fallen into the toilet many a times before because it was left up. It’s not fun falling in a bowl in the middle of the night.
Toilets are too big for you duckQuote:

@chriscorey, You are smart and he is a Sensor. I suggest that you connect a 50,000 volt neon sign transformer to your toilet. One lead to the water in the bowl, and one lead to the wet floor. I guarantee that, if after he leaves the seat up and you flip the switch to turn it on, then later when he takes a piss, he'll be the one doing the yelling.Quote:

I care. It must be returned to a resting place after using. Seat down, Lid down. (Bonus: I don't need to see that the toilet needs a scrubbing while I'm putting away towels, etc.)
My hubby leaves everything up or the lid up every now and then. Early in our marriage a middle of the night AAAAAAAHHHHH! fixed that for the most part. He didn't have a reason or anything, just needed trained.
I prefer to let my cats drink from clean water placed especially for them.
