Why do women have a problem with men leaving the toilet seat up when they can just put it down?

Answer 1

If you were a woman who has ever gone into the bathroom half asleep in the middle of the night and fallen in the toilet because the seat was up, you would understand.

Answer 2

If I were a woman - I'd be happy to see the seat raised. Before you attack me - read why!

I am a guy and I know that aim is not good. You are dealing with penis - not a precise machine tool. The stream of urine just often goes where it will. A guy often just can't help where it will go. If a guy is not putting up a seat to begin with - he is probably splashing it on the seat. The guy may or may not clean up the seat. I do - but that is just me.

The thing is - how often is it that disinfectant is available right near a bowl? And if it were - would most guys bother to use it right after taking a piss? If a guy will clean up the urine on a seat - most of them just wipe the urine away without disinfecting the seat! So if the seat is habitually down - the guy is probably not raising it to begin with - and he is not disinfecting it. So that would mean you are sitting on dried piss on the seat because the seat has not been disinfected.

This is why I never sit on public toilet seat that is a) not layered with paper I put down or b) that I have not just gone over with a towel with some hand soap on it from the dispenser.

Just something to think about.

Answer 3

We have a prob because at 2 in the morning we may be half asleep and not notice the toilet seat is up and fall in! Nasty! Plus it's just gross looking to see the toilet seat up. And its out of respect to put the seat down.(believe it or not)

Answer 4

Of course women could put it down, but simple courtesy is to do an action in advance so another person doesn't have to do it. Actions like these are called good manners.

After you gas up your car, do you leave the gas hose and nozzle lying on the ground on the theory that the next person can just pick it up and put it back onto the gas pump? It is the same reasoning you use in your toilet seat example.

Karen s: Oh, you only do things when money is involved? Manners represent anticipating the other person's needs without being asked or paid.

Answer 5

Answer 6

This toilet seat problem stems from laziness on both sides.

Answer 7

because the toilet seat belongs down

Answer 8

Beats me. I don't have a problem with it.

'Cept when the dude's aim is off, in which case I sure wish he'd felt embarrassed enough to cover up that evidence by lowering the toilet seat.

Answer 9

Once I asked my husband if he'd put the seat down for me when he was finished. He smiled and said sure---if I'd return it back up for him when I was finished. I couldn't think of a logical response and have never asked him about it again. What's fair is fair. We don't have a problem---neither of us sets it up for the other's convenience.

Answer 10

Because we hate touching your piss just to put the seat down. You should touch your own piss ridden toilet seat to lift it up, maybe it'll teach y'all to have better aim.

Answer 11

Some women are prima donnas and want the best of both worlds. Some days they'll complain you wont hold a door open for them, but when you do, they complain they can do it themselves. And where are they when the cheque comes? Equal rights my ***, they just want to have their cake and eat it too!
