    I have actually seen them springloaded to the up position. If they are springload up, then you have to hold it down until you get seated. As soon as you stand, the seat springs back to the up position. [:D]

    Just use the sink.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    I worked in a furniture store where mostly men were employed. One of the two women(the single one) complained about us leaving the seat up. So I told her I would make the same agreement that I did with my wife and daughter. I just wouldn't bother lifting it anymore. Never heard another complaint from after that.[:D]

    ...I have ALWAYS left the seat up, and always will.

    I figure EVERYONE is RESPONSIBLE & CAPABLE of putting the seat in the position they want, not my job to help anyone with their bathroom habits...[;)]

    I agree, but I had this discussion with my mother a while back and she said
    A: It's the gentlemanly thing to do, like opening a door for a lady.
    B: I was raised better than that.

    I kind of had to agree with her.

    I am the only male in the house shared with my wife and four daughters.
    I have my own bathroom.


    On a side note a single roll of toilet paper will last me two weeks minimum, whereas the remainder of the household uses 24 rolls during the same time frame.

    You had no choice in the matter... You were cornered...
    My Mother is 78... She still does me the same way. Corners and drives to the soul... [:(]

    The only argument with any merit is, the toilet LOOKS better with the seat and lid down.

    Put the light and your glasses on and inspect the seat after you carefully missed it.
    I'm confident you'll find sidespray on the seat.
    Women should appreciate finding the seat up.

    Do a simple experiment...

    Tell 'em you'll use it with the seal up ... and leave it that way

    AND with the seat down... and leave it that way as well.

    Then... Ask 'em to tell you which they would prefer you do? UP or DOWN... [;)]

    I prefer the "at rest" position of the toilet to have the seat and the lid down. For some reason some women disregard my preference and leave the lid up but complain if someone else leaves both the lid and the seat up. So I consider the source and realize that I'm dealing with Pig's Ears.

    My wife got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom one night. She kinda fell in when one of the boys forgot to put the seat down. Let just say we have not had anouther problem like that for a while now.

    We have two bathrooms in this house.
    One is hers and the other is also hers.

    The pecan tree out back is doing well throughout the drought this year for some reason.

    I noticed the same thing in my house. Why do women use so much of it?

    I've only had one woman ever give a good reason for putting the seat down, and that was the lid should be closed when not in use.

    And this explains the skid marks in most men's undies, whereas the ladies do not have this issue....[:I]

    I have told this before, but I will share again.

    I prefer to not turn on a light should I need to visit the facilities in the middle of the night. We have enough ambient light that I can navigate through the door to our WC with no problem.

    Hubbie in his quest to insure there are no seat mishaps has adjusted his toilet etiquette. He puts down the seat and closes the lid.

    One middle of the night, not knowing that Hubbie had heard the call and answered before I did, I approached the throne. I turned and sat. Oh sweet mother of pearl!! [:0] Just what I needed to come fully awake in the middle of the night, COLD solid molded plastic!! I now approach with hand extended to feel for seat position before settling down. [;)]

    WHAT!?!?!? [:0]

    Someone actually studied the effects on the prostate of sitting versus standing to urinate?

    No doubt using a grant from federal tax monies. [:(!]

    My wife and I settled this issue before we ever got married, and the discussion ended that not only would the seat go down, but the lid as well. Keeping the lid down helps to keep things from falling in that aren't supposed to. Never had anything accidentally dropped in the toilet in our house in 17 years.

    Do the same out my house, or at least I always do, and the wife usually does. We have a medicine cabinet above one of the bathroom toilets, a couple times dropping something in and you'll start closing the lid.

    It's been my habit to put the lid down for years.
    One day Tam forgot to put it down.
    One day our little girl Button (cat) went tearing into the bathroom intent on jumping to the lid, tank cover and on to the window.
    She never made it to the tank cover that time.

    If your toothbrush is on the sink next to the toilet and you don't put the LID down when not in use then you deserve to get sick. Most toilets spray when they flush.

    Our solution when we built our house was to put a urinal in the Master Bathroom next to the toilet. It is so much easier to keep clean and everyone is happy.

    OK, as long as we're getting into this, let me gripe about the women who "hover" above the toilet seat when using a public restroom so that they don't have to put their body parts directly on the seat. Such use results in spray on the seat for the next user.

    For crying out loud, if you fear contact with the toilet seat, carry some Wet Wipes with & sanitize it before you use it. You can't pick up any infections from a dry toilet seat.

    I once read a study/report that in most public buildings the womens restrooms are 9 out of 10 times alot nastier than mens [V]. My wife agreed with it so it must be true [:D]
