Exclamation Putting the toilet seat down – a critical evaluation

Can anyone actually defend this practice? It seems completely illogical and chivalrously sexist. It doesn't make any more sense than running around not allowing women to open doors for themselves.

If there is a single male and a single female living under one roof, it makes sense for both individuals to alternate the toilet seat after they use it, because the chances are the the other person will use it next. If there are a greater number of females than males, maybe it makes sense to put the seat down because statistically it is most likely a female will use it next... but then the opposite should apply as well. A single female living in a house of males should always put the toilet seat in the upright position because she is very unlikely to be the next person to use it.

In India people squat over holes in the ground, at least according to travel reportage series Idiot Abroad. That must surely be A: the most hygenic option and B: the most asthetically pleasing.

When I was in Africa most of the more developed areas had indoor plumbing and toilets, but plenty of rural/poorer areas still have holes in the ground you shit into. It was pretty hard to get used to, especially since the food there often gave me weird shits. Also, you bathe with a bucket right over the same hole.

I also stayed in this extremely sketchy hotel where the toilet and shower where located in such a confined space that you really couldn't take a shower without sitting on the john.

the thing with leaving the seat up is it's no big deal unless i go to pee in the middle of the night and dont think to make sure the toilet seat is down before sitting. other than that, idgaf.

one that can never be known
either all drunk with the world at her feet
or sober with no place to go
all flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no one for you but here is one

95% of toilets I use in private homes. The other 5% belong to all male college flats.

Bottle peeing - that takes some serious training.

Toilets have lids because if you flush without putting the lid down the force of the water makes toilet germs spray up in a fine vapour all over the toilet and surrounding area. Always put the lid down to contain toilet germs. I teach my kids to do that.

The toilet seat remains down. If you don't want to touch it, to put it up or down, either sit down, or install a urinal.

if you get upset about the toilet seat being left up how bent out of shape do you get about cigarette butts being thrown in the john? this coming from the same delicate creature that clogged up my shitter with her used tampons one heavy month.
