I want the lid with the ring to be open.
She wants it closed with the ring down.
How comes im wrong in this absolute 50/50 situation ALWAYS??
No. Im not wetting the floor and no im not 10000 things not related to this.
And if its the look of the commode that is a problem i wonder why the commode estetics say its more 'nice' when its down.Furthermore have i never met anyone that stands around the báthroom "to watch my lovely commode" so can it!
I want it up.
She want it down.
Im wrong.-
WHY?
Im prepared to put it down for her ofcourse,but if she is asked to put it up for me im a fool!

I get it! This isnt the the most important issue and the idea that woman could need a class to avoid 'falling' in it was news to me but of course i give in and think about more real issues but its a pattern were everything orderly-defined after the closest girl-always want to spread a idea we guys are idiots.
Im not an idiot but i belive in equality and that is a thing conserning men as well as women,mabye more realy but when strange women stuff are at the table theres no real will to come clean.
Its a petty question.I know.But puzzling!

You just dont get married life. "if momma aint happy, aint no body happy". Just say "yes, dear", and collect your reward of a happy wife. If she is happy, she will make you happy. Again, learn to say "yes dear" and alot of problems will just go away. (No you dont have to do it all the time, but this is very minor, and she obviously feels it is important, and you dont. learn to compromise.)

Germs - yuck, do you want germs from your toilet spewing out into the air where you probably keep your toothbrush.
Losing things - something may get knocked into the toilet by accident or dropped into it. Do you want to put your hand in their to get it?
Smell and toilet ring - unless you clean your toilet daily, there could be smell or gross stains like toilet ring.
Middle of the night - it's not pleasant to wake up in the middle of the night and run to the bathroom and then find your bum down in cold water because the seat was up.
Finally, pick your battles. Is this really that important? Just put the seat down and save your argument for something that really matters...like which way the toilet paper should hang on the roll - over or under!

This is just a part of life. She probably didn't want to tell you this, but women are so used to having the lid down, especially if they live on their own or have fathers and brothers considerate enough to put it down, that they do not check to see alot of the time if it's open or not. So they aren't looking when they ...ahem... sit down, and there is a hazard of falling in. It's really funny, but girls don't like talking about toilet stuff unless it is to nag about leaving the seat down. So you should probably make sure you put the seat down when you're finished, and lift it yourself. It's a gesture she'll really appreciate and could earn you some serious brownie points. Hope this helps. Sunny days ahead!

Life of a man in a relationship with a female. Beautiful thing!! My wife told me that she likes it down cause when she gets up in the middle of the night she doesn't want to hit the water with her butt. So in order to keep peace I have learned to take the extra second that it takes me to put lid back down, this is much appreciated and I am told that I have evolved very well. Ha! Besides it's a washroom toilet that we are discussing not the end to Iraq war or anything. In addition you probably knew prior to getting together with your woman that was an important issue for her so live up to your responsibilities I say man and make the old gal happy by giving a bit. Ha! Good luck and hope you have a happy toilet seat.

Funny! Only time I'd have a problem with the lid up is when it's dark in the middle of the night...... It's a pretty big shocker when your rear end hits that water!
New toilet seat $25.00
Nuts & Bolts to ReConnect $10.00
Breaking old seat over "his" head when I fell in $$$ PRICELESS ( just kidding I did let out a pretty big yelp though! )

Whether you realize it or not - you get used to the height of the seat. When we go to sit down in the middle of the night half asleep - you can actually hurt yourself because the height is off. I have hurt my back like this. So what is the big deal about putting the seat down? It is just being courteous - besides when you go - you wet the sides of the seat and then we not only fall - but sit where you wet it.

Tarrrraaaaaaa! Have you thought of a squat? this will solve the problem - there's no lid!
Nothing to quarrel about - I tell you, when you get old, how you wished to get a toilet bowl back!! and, it doesn't matter whether the lid is on or off.............
Er, try to stay in the remote part of asia for a couple of weeks - I mean those houses in the village, real remote village - china, indonesia, india ............. doesn't matter where, as long as those are public shared toilet, mud pile type, the squat type - after, that, I bet, there's no complain!
Try out, and let us know...............

My mother always told me to put it back down for one simple reason... A woman is always sitting and usually never thinks to check and make sure that the seat is down. Therefore in the night, a half awake female may sit down expecting a seat and finding cold water instead!

It is more sanitary to keep it down so a pet doesn't drink from it or when flushing the "mist" doesn't spread out as far which can get on your toothbrush.
Also if your wife is in a hurry, she doesn't get her bottom dunked in the toilet. She is facing away to go to the toilet, we are not and notice the toilet seat faster.
Sorry, it is a losing battle, the seat should be down.
Good luck.

I'm so with you. There is no reason a person can't put a toilet seat up or down on his/her own. It's a completely ridiculous power struggle over a freaking toilet seat. Besides, my dogs drink out of the toilet so if the lid was down, they'd be upset and thirsty. I support you!!

It is only tradition, etiquette, or upbringing that are reasons for this. There is no logical argument.
The woman simply wants to assume the lid is always down because they will always need it to be down.
She can use the "I expect you to be a gentleman" argument, but that's about it.
