Why is it such a big deal? i mean everywhere i read, thats womens #1 complaint…i dont get why…My husband has NEVER left it up… but even if he did, i’ve never been so out of it or deep in sleep that i cant put the seat down…it was the same when iwas at home.
Re: Leaving the toilet seat up
Hm. I guess its a more American thing - its seen as having polite manners to keep the seat down, so you dont have to get sick catching site of water and any remnants of nastiness floating about in it.
I have more of an issue with wiping down the toilet.
Droplets on the toilet freak me out.
Re: Leaving the toilet seat up
but is it the seat or the lid? now if the point was about keeping the seat and lid down, which is always the case at my joint, I would understand, but the complaint is usually about the seat.
desis style is the best, with a khuddi, no seat and no lid, so no chikh pikh :D
Re: Leaving the toilet seat up
i dont understand why ppl do not flush after doing no.1 
Re: Leaving the toilet seat up
sometimes they dont do it at night because the flush mayu be loud and htey dont want to wake. so they forget.
Re: Leaving the toilet seat up
lol… sorry i wasnt clear. i was talking about general public. like in my office. it irritates me to hell when i go to bathroom and flush it for someone before i can use it
Re: Leaving the toilet seat up
FT, seems like you office are promoting a form of water conservation.... their mantra being "if it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down". :)
The toilet seat being left up by a man is not my number one complaint Sara.
And men are supposed to sit on a toilet.

i was hoping such posts would be nulled and void this new year. :hinna:
Re: Leaving the toilet seat up
I am going to invent a toilet seat with a sensor. If you are backing on to the toilet seat, it will remain down. if you are approaching the seat while facing it, it will go up.
Re: Leaving the toilet seat up
I look forward to seeing you and your invention on Dragon’s Den, TLK 
Re: Leaving the toilet seat up
although I am in the process of a patent for a different technology, basically what it does is if the seat is down and it senses splatter on it, a spikey taser foot emerges from the base of the toilet and it kicks the offender in the ding dongs.

Mabrook, my nephew used to do something similar when he was a toddler… he used to see the dog sticking his head in the toilet so he used to follow suit…
Re: Leaving the toilet seat up
At home I don't do the business standing up. So there are no such issues. And I have made it clear to all my friends that nobody uses my toilet standing up - and I would really hate it if anyone does that.
Re: Leaving the toilet seat up
janwaar, yep same rules at my place.
but you know some public restrooms, I mean if u got to go sometimes these places..ugh, there is no way i am putting my butt sahab in contact with a seat with urine and stool splatter cocktail of assorted individuals, I am not even touching the seat to lift it, not even with my boot cuz there may be some splatter..yuck..
and no matter what ladies say about eww and how bad guys bathrooms are, I have heard horror stories about ladies stalls and know well about the crouch and hover method applied by women who have to use an unclean place.
Re: Leaving the toilet seat up
I totally and completely avoid contact with the seat in public restrooms. For me its either the urinals, or I would rush to the nearest hotel where I can find a clean bathroom. The kind of abuse you get to see in public restrooms really makes me wonder if living and breathing huamnoids are capable of creating such a filthy mess.
Re: Leaving the toilet seat up
janwaar, I mean in some cases I just want to ask how is it even possible, it seems to be against the laws of gravity and physics and aerodynamics and all to see splatter of the type i have seen. was it a diarrhea explosion while the butt was on its journey towards the seat?
and even with the urinals, there is a pool of urine on the floor, and you really dont want to step in it, yuck...
I know what you mean, it leaves one just in disbelief.
Indiana tollway rest area bathrooms are a very good example of this phenomenon
