Toilet seats

Irminsul · May 20, 2012

I always kick the lids up and I spit all over the seat and wipe it clean if I need to use a public toilet.

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.

well, I think the bacteria on the seat will like your spit and begin to thrive. Furthermore you smear that small spot of bacteria culture that might be there all over the seat. So, good luck .

God, yes! I used to live with a nasty little Korean nutjob who once left a note on the toilet for me asking me to leave the lid up. I left a note on top elling her leaving the toilet seat up was dirty and unhygeinic.

She then scratched the next door neighbours car with her keys and rang the police and told them my boyfriend did it.

Moral of the story - toilet lids and people who don't know how to use them cause trouble.

You do realize this whole controversy was started a long time ago by manufactures of toilet seat hinges so they wear out faster...
