Toilet seat issue ? Men vs. women?

Question

Where is it written that the toilet seat must always be down? If we men have to put it "up" to pee..... what's wrong with women having to put it down to pee? Where does it say that it's ok for women to leave it down AFTER THEY use it but not ok for men to leave it UP after they use it? It's like replacing the toilet paper. Does it really matter if it falls to the front or to the back?

Answer 1

There is no rule that says men have to put the toliet seat down... I sat down once without realizing the ring was up & you can guess the rest... it was a funny sight to behold.

Answer 2

My opinion on this issue is different from a lot of people. This is where EQUALITY should be in place.

If women need the seat down, put it down. If men need the seat up, put it up. If a man has to put the seat down after he goes to the bathroom than the woman should put the seat up after she is done. Why should it be one way and not the other. It goes both ways, just like the hinges.

If a woman falls in the toilet because she didn't look, who's stupidity is that?

I always check the seat and put it where I need it. I grew up with a huge family. There were many people in my family that if the toilet seat was a true issue, we would never get anything truly serious resolved.

In my house, my husband and I put the seat and lid down after every use because of the cats. So it is not a big issue.

Answer 3

damn...this is a stupid issue. people of the world here is the ruling on the toilet seat issue.

WOMEN: accept this as a fact of nature. you need the seat down to use the toilet. MEN: you need it up to use the toilet. so, deal with it. Women, if you get in the bathroom and the seat is up, put the f***ing thing down and take a pee. don't gripe about the seat being up. after all, we don't gripe about it being down. and Men, if you want to avoid an argument, put the seat down to be polite, but its by no means a necessity.

Men and women are different, and its time that women get off their high horse about the toilet and deal, just like we men have to.

Answer 4

i always assumed this question was a hoax,or some comedians schtick,i dont know anyone of my aqaintance that finds this an issue.men should aim more carefully,tho-the area around the floor of the toilet starts to smell like a kitty litter box,lots of ammonia.nasty to clean.ya know its the guys doing it,cos after they use the loo,there are yellow liquid marks on toilet rim .now,THATS the real issue,especially if the men expect their wives,girlfriends or moms to clean it !!!!! look what ur doing !!!as for toilet paper issue,if u have a cat or a toddler,if u leave it falling over the front,next time u turn ur back 4 a minute,the roll will be unravelled all over the floor.so toiletpaper replacement depends on pet and baby status-if u currently have neither,it doesnt matter.

Answer 5

When the toilet seat is shut, both men and woman have to lift it for use. Any woman who has ever almost fallen butt-first into the toilet in the middle of the night will tell you that she prefers men (whether adults or children) to please put the lid down. It's a matter of courtesy. If you have pets or small children you don't want them playing in or drinking the toilet water, so it is best to keep the lid down. Also, if there are left-over "particles" in the toilet no one has to look at them.

So, yes, it DOES matter whether it is shut or not.

Answer 6

The problem is that women always sit at home and may not notice if the seat is up since they never raise it... Probably not a pleasant experience to find out the seat was up after sitting down...

In my household, everyone puts both the seat AND the lid down after every use... That way there are no mistakes..

Answer 7

I am a man. You need to put the seat down lazy azz.

You will not fall in if you go to pee and the seat is down.

If a chick goes to the bathroom at night and the seat is up and she falls in your nasty azz never cleaned in the last 10 months toilet she ought to leave your stinky azz and find a man that isn't lazy.

Answer 8

I am a guy and I prefer that the toilet seat and lid be down when it is not in use. Keeps things from falling in, etc. Plus, I have heard that when you flush, the mist of the water goes up in the air, so I put down the lid before flushing.

Answer 9

I must say I empathise with guys on this one......to make it fair EVERYONE should not only keep the seat down but also the LID after use.

I never complain at a guy that left it up-I once had a room mate that never bothered at all and the seat was always wet ewwww!

Answer 10

Interesting I always believed that we were doing them a favor by leaving the seat up after all, since they have to put their *** on it they should look before they sit down anyway.
