Thank you for failing to close the lid of the toilet once you have finished with your business. I don’t enjoy getting your bodily secreations on my fingers while pulling down the seat so I can pee. It’s bad enough you have that stupid habit, but is it really necessary for your friends to do the same thing at MY house? They should know by now how to wipe and close. Doesn’t anyone know what a toilet lid is for anymore?

Wow, Elvis, that’s a lot of statistics.I don’t care about toilet seat: up or down debate…what I hate is when guys miss the pot completely and dribble on the floor. Nothing like stepping in cold pee at two in the morning to set the tone for the day.Boys, you know who you are! Do I need to fetch the cheerios to give you something to aim at?
See, to me it makes sense for the woman to put it down. Men pee 3 or 4 times a day. Women pee, what, once an hour? So who’s actually changing the position of the seat more often? In a 2-person opposite-sex household, the man is pretty much guaranteed to find the seat down, but the woman only has about a 1 in 6 chance of finding it up…according to my quick head math. 🙂
Oops sorry for double-post. Ignore the first one. 🙂
here is what i dont get, if you are noticing that we might piss on the seat, that means you are looking down anyways. Its not like you blindly just sit down, so how hard is it to put the seat down any ol way?
I know it’s irritating when guys leave the toilet seat up. It’s just lazy. But what’s even more pathetic is when women (mainly in public washrooms) “hover”, and don’t wipe their fucking piss off the seat! Sure hovering women, it’s one thing to piss on the seat in the first place, but it’s another thing if you don’t CLEAN IT UP! Women can be pigs, too!
I’d say 80% of the women I know won’t sit on a chair in a restaurant or on a park bench without checking the seat for crumbs, yet can’t look before they sit in a washroom. Yes putting the seat down is a courtesy. Guess what, its just as much work for the guys to have to put it back up again.100% agree on people who can’t bother to clean up after their own bad aim. Thats just rude and 100% lazy
See, to me it makes sense for the woman to put it down. Men pee 2or 3 times a day. Women pee, what, once an hour? So who’s actually changing the position of the seat more often? In a 2-person opposite-sex household, the man is pretty much guaranteed to find the seat down, but the woman only has about a 1 in 8 chance of finding it up…according to my quick head math. 🙂
seat up, down, no big, I can put it down (although if we’re doing the math thing…one gender needs it down for both bathroom functions, the other needs it down for one function, up for the other- meaning three quarters of all bathroom trips require the seat down. Therefore, mathematically speaking, it should be normally left down and lifted for those one quarter trips).but pee on the seat and floor? ew. worse when you call said guy on it and they shrug and say they can’t help it. yes. yes you can. learn to aim, and use some toilet paper or something instead of the jiggle and shake that gets pee drips all over the bathroom floor for me to step in…ewww. a girl may spatter the seat if they’re one of thsoe weird hover-ers (seriously what do you think you’re gonna get from a toilet seat???), but we do not, repeat not, pee on the floor!
Except that male peeing is not a quarter of the events. Men pee 3 or 4 times. Women pee like 14. Each poops, say twice. That’s 4+14+2+2 = 22 events, and the 4 male pees only make up 18.2%, not 25%. So you are SOOOOO wrong!Also, mathematically speaking, since the woman’s 14 pees make up 63.6% of events, her need to have the seat down would place much greater burden on the male who would be required to um, ah, er…Ah, shit I totally lost where I was going with that.Just put the seat down if you find it up and need it down. Sheesh.
And put the cap back on the toothpaste too.
Oh oh oh, I got one. You don’t hear US complaining when we have to poop but somebody left the seat up, do you? Huh?Bam!
I take a page from the female gender and sit on the toilet. You can do it in the dark, do it while your drunk out of your mind, no fuss no mess, no complaints from the other half 😉
I know what you’re saying, but I hate when my “gear” falls into the water. That can be a cold blast in the middle of the night.
But then you have to sit down, then get all the way back up again. Who’s got that kind of time?Also….if I sit to piss….I sometime automatically poo too…and sometimes, I’d rather hold off for a bit…I can’t always finish up before the commercials are over.
I’d hate to see your office chair Miles.
You need some strategically placed mirrors running from the shitter, down the hall, down the stairs, around the corner and finally into the living room.
Yeah Jammie that water is cold… And deep too…
So deep. I was surprised just how much got submerged.
Like an iceberg 90% below the surface…
And I hate that I have to remember to stand up before flushing. Oh god, the vortex! My boys!
Oh right, you were talking about sitting..
Yeah it’s too hard to manage the coils while standing, and trying not to tip over forward.
Why does this have to be such a big issue? Here’s a simple solution:Put the seat back the way you found it.Is that so hard to do? Women, after you use the toilet, do you have the courtesy to put the seat back up? Men are expected to put the seat down, so why shouldn’t women have the courtesy to put it back up? I’ve been to many girls’ places and they made a stink about it when one of the guys used the washroom but left the toilet seat up. I’ve never heard guys complain when girls leave the toilet seat down. So to me, I can’t understand why women make such a big deal over a stupid toilet seat. There should be no excuses about sitting on a toilet that didn’t have the seat down. Do you not look before you sit?? If not, then blame yourself. For all you know, the seat could be down, but covered in shit or something (crazy glue??). Would that make it any better? Remember, when you are at another person’s residence, put the seat back the way you found it, not the way you prefer it to be. Problem solved!
