Because when you come into the bathroom in the middle of the night and expect the seat to be down and it isn't... guess what? You fall in!! And no I never put the seat up for the man because for the most part his aim isn't that good whether the seat is up or down anyway!

I've actually written an essay on this.
You see, most females tend to "hold their" pee longer than guys. This means that they do not actually go until they are on the verge of exploding. The reasoning behind this is that they don't want guys to know that they actually do pee from time to time.
Therefore, many females will go thru the work day "sucking it in." On the bus they're holding it and only when they get home and no one is around do they finally get on the seat and "decondense."
When they finally do get to this point, once they unzip, they have to be ready to release. IMMEDIATELY.
When a negligent guy leaves the seat up, he usually also forgets to wipe the pee that didn't quite get into the water that is along the rim where the seat lands on. As a result, when this woman, goes, she instinctively assumes that the seat is down and has to go too badly to have the quality control of check before she bends down.
As a result, not only does she risk dislocating her hip from the impact of NOT landing on a seat, she runs the risk of sitting on a wet, urin containing toilet rim. It's quite traumatic from what I've heard.
Also, at night, the same thing happens only in the dark and in colder conditions.
Give the poor girl break, leave the toilet seat down. As a dude, I have to say, we have it way easy in that department.

I personally have gotten up in the middle of the night without turning any lights on and sat down on a cold toilet because the seat was left up. Not the most pleasant experience. It could be argued that I should have looked before sitting, but hey, my eyes were barely open.
I really don't see why men can't aim through the toilet seat opening anyway. It's not like the stream is 10 inches wide or anything. Can't you hold on to it and watch what you are doing?

Nope. I've never went to the bathroom to a raised seat. I can aim, but I like to raise the seat as insurance. They say that if they go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, they don't want to fall in the toilet. They're supposedly too disoriented to check and see if the seat is up or down. However, we must make sure the seat is down for them, and make sure the seat is up for us. We have to do double the work.
Isn't that crucial?
Just kidding. I particularly don't care, but I don't like the one-sided complaining that is associated with it.
Besides, if she happened to fall in, my wife doesn't have to worry about sitting in anything, because I keep the toilet and the entire bathroom clean.

Wives complain about it for the above reasons. What it really comes down to is that they don't want to take responsibility for their actions and for not looking to see what the position of the seat is? When was the last time you forgot to look? She never looks. That is the point. She will never look so give up and put the seat down. You won't win. You can't win even though you are correct.

Thats kinda funny, I never thought of it like that. Maybe I should tell my girl to leave the seat up. But it doesnt really matter for me cause sometimes Im lazy and I'll just try to aim through the seat and if I miss- oh well- atleast the seat is down.

Because, if we need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night we may not turn the light on and just sit down and if the seat is up, well you know whats going to happen. I know men can sit or stand depending on what their doing but women always sit down. Its just a considerate thing to do. Putting the seat down is just one of those little things in life that can make a big difference. Do yourself a favor and just do it. Like they say, if momma isn't happy nobody is happy. Good luck

Try leaving the seat up, stumbling in there in the dark, and pee sitting down. What will happen? you will either get a wet butt when it lands in the toilet (and maybe someone else stumbled in there a few minutes before you, but didn't flush, not wanting to wake anyone...), or, if your lucky and catch the rim, then you'll just be sitting in all the males in your house pee drops! Not to pleasant to imagine? Now u know why we complain! (Although, my husband just does it, his mamma trained him well so is wife doesn't have hell!)

It isn't just complaining to complain, honestly. If you had to sit to pee, and had to pee in the middle of the night, half asleep, you would truly understand the entertainment value (or not) of FALLING IN at 2:00am. That's why we ask you to put the seat down. Startled, cold, wet and disgusted is not the mood that you want a woman to be in. It's for YOUR protection-kinda. :)

It would make no difference if we left the seat up or down for you guys because how the heck do we know if you need to "sit" or "stand"??? You guys know right off the bat we need to sit...so why not have the common courtesy to leave the seat down for us?? Any girls agree with me?? :)
