Toilet seats

Why do men have to leave the seat down for girls, when girls don't have to leave it up for guys?

what about them?

 

i like to close the lid before i flush so that shit and pee particles don't go flying into the air. also, my cat uses the toilet seat to jump to the bathroom window - don't need him falling in

 

Hello,

according to my colleague from Pune you often can't put the seat and the lid down, if you don't bring your own .

There aren't any toilet seats in jail.

Hello,

I've seen toilets that have been so dirty that I used my foot to open the lid, then I stepped back a meter or two and did the things that had to be done. So without arms, use your foot. But then again, tragic accidents happen all the time. What if you have lost your arms and feet? *puzzled*

i think in that case, sadly, u probably never go to the toilet on your own.

 

Hello,

I think the Japanese people invented high tech toilets with sensors and stuff. They open automatically if someone comes near, the seat might be heated and music is played.

they probably play music to cover any noise...
Thoughtful.

 

haha, this is a fun one.
yeah, if girls just let it down, guys could just let it up... my bf sometimes puts the seat down, sometimes he doesn't, i really don't mind, it's not that difficult putting it down myself.

 

Hello,

exactly. I don't know if the story is true, but a few years ago I heard that some toilets in Japan can imitate the sound of the water flushing on button press. That's a measure for saving water. Japanese people seem to use the water flushing repeatly to drown out other noise.

I got used to closing the seat and the lid when I got a dog. Just don't want them drinking out of there. Eating cat shit was bad enough.

 

This can be explained with simple math:

The argument that women should put the seat up just as much as men should put the seat down is based on the assumption that women always use the toilet with the seat down (more or less true, in western countries where we don't use squatting toilets) AND that men ALWAYS use the toilet with the seat up--not true.

Let's say that 3 out of 4 times men use the toilet, they use it only for peeing (the actual proportion doesn't matter, just that it's not 100%.

That would mean that women need it down 100% of the time, whereas men need it down 25% of the time. The other way around, men need the seat up 75% of the time, whereas women need the seat up 0% of the time. Therefore, from a utilitarian perspective, it makes more sense for the seat to be left down.

You're welcome.

 

My wife and I have agreed to put the seat and lid down. Leaving the lid up would be like leaving the kitchen cabinet doors half way open

 

Men should put the seat down because I've never met a man that doesn't occasionally splatter pee-pee on the rim, and walking in the bathroom and seeing yellow coated to the toilet rim isn't pleasant for anyone.

Plus, I used to nearly fall into the toilet a lot growing up with my brothers because I wouldn't notice they left the seat up and I would sit down expecting a seat.

I really agree with both sexes putting the seat and lid down.

 

you could say as much about their carelessness as you could yours

all this raising and lowering and lifting again... why don't we just do away with the damn thing?
