Just out it back as you found it. Easy peesy.
Flushing with the lid up is gross. I do not want to have poo particles flying around and landing on my toothbrush. But maybe that is just me… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is exactly where I sit on this debate. Flush with the lid down and it’s a non-issue!
sorry to ruin your life but mythbusters tested this and no matter how much protection your toothbrush has there will still be poo particles on it
Fair enough. But if any poo particles are getting on my toothbrush when the lid is down, more will be getting on when the lid is open. Besides, I also keep the toothbrush in a cabinet so double protection.
It drives me crazy that I, a man, always shut it, but my wife won’t. Our cat was drinking from it a couple days ago and that still isn’t enough to make her change.
Everybody saying keep the lid down for hygiene reason are missing the most important reason to keep the lid closed. Anything dropped or falling will inexorably end into the toilet if the lid is up.
This is not a gender thing.
It damn well shouldn’t be. But there are dudes who won’t even wipe they own ass cause they’re afraid to catch the gay.
“This debate would be solved if everyone would just agree to one choice.”
This was my position when my husband and I moved in together, but I could not convince him.
Then we got a kitten who loved to drink from the faucet. After the second time she fell into the open toilet on her way to the bathroom sink, he got on board with keeping the toilet closed.
19 years later, we no longer have that sweet baby, but it’s still a habit.
Ive always put the lid down along with the seat. I believe its more sanitary and has the added benefit of women not falling fully in the bowl like when the seats up. Ive done this for about 15 years.
A few years after I started doing this, I was spending the night at my friend’s house. I had to get up early to go to work, so I was first up. My friends mother got up next apparently. I was bombarded with texts and such, her mom was angry because she got up and went to the bathroom and just went for it after she sat down. Queue giant liquid waste mess to clean and an angry start to her day.
All these years later, I still think its one of the funniest things I’ve ever been part of in real life.
Cue
I was gonna say you’d be surprised how many waste particles fly around the room with the seat up - but from the sound of it, even more went everywhere with it down!
Toilets are gross. Put the lid down. There is some study I read that said flushing the toilet throws lots of bacteria into the room. Shut the lid before you flush.
Mythusters found fecal particles everywhere even when the lid was down. There’s no escape from gross, just finding an acceptable level.
Then all the bacteria are flung onto the lid, and when I sit down I might touch the lid with my back.
There’s plenty of bacteria in the air already, a million more aren’t going to hurt. Unless you have a norovirus, then you need to disinfect with bleach after you’re done.
You don’t think there are plenty of bacteria on your back already? Not to mention it would likely be on the back of your shirt. What’s in the air goes straight into your lungs.
Yes. Close your biological waste disposal units, ya crude yokels!
Who doesn’t do this?
People who haven’t seen that video of a toilet flushing under just the right lighting, where you can see the water splattering everywhere. That’s who.
It’s the reason why I always hop in the shower and wash my ass with soap after a shit, cause not even a bidet will clean up that mess. Ever wonder why your ass cheeks feel wet after a multi-flusher? Cause they are.
Why would you flush before you stand up
Because I don’t want to stand up with shit still sticking to my cheeks. I flush immediately to minimize the smell.
i always shower and wash my ass with soap after a shit
either you need more fiber in your diet, youre lying, or youre showering multiple times a day which is… wild
How many times a day do you take a poop?
It could be solved by not talking about it anymore, because it’s a dumb debate anyway.
I’m a woman but I grew up with guys, so I never understood what the big deal was. It’s ingrained in me to check the seat before sitting, as well as to check the amount of toilet paper before going.
Guys have to lift the seat, I have to put it down, so what? I’m washing my hands when I’m done anyway (and I hope others are too), and I’d rather just have to put a seat down than have to wipe someone else’s piss off it (which I have to do in public restrooms, because some women are straight-up animals there.)
I’m not a woman, so I’m not experience with utilizing that anatomy, but it is baffling to me that piss would end up on the seat in a women’s bathroom.
The real solution is to tape it down with enough duct tape to restrain an African bull elephant. You’re welcome.
Always keep the lid down to minimize poop spray!
You don’t want to microdose poop to boost your immune system? Lame.
Flushing with the lid up is 🤢
How long do you wait before lifting the lid back up to check for streaks?
Until the flush is done
But then you dont get to watch it go down
But how do you check if you need to brush the bowl? Do you just wait for the flush to end and then raise the lid again to check under?
Gonna be honest, I’m just peeing that off the next time I go.
The brush is for routine cleans or times of true digestive discord.
If I lived alone I might resort to this laziness. But I have only lived alone for 8 months in 52 years.
if your shits are thick enough, every flush is a brush flush.
Put toilet paper into the bowl before pooping and you never have a need to brush the bowl.
Assuming 50% of people in the world have a penis (it’s lower but for the sake of argument we’ll say 50%), more than 50% of bathroom visits require sitting. People with vulvas need to sit, but so does anyone who is pooping, as well as anyone who has one of a number of conditions that makes standing during a bathroom visit untenable. Therefore, the seat should always be put down.
That’s not how you patriarch!
I agree at least a little bit… I have no issue peeing with it down. The down votes have it!
Use a bidet.
Ok, but that has nothing to do with putting the seat down or leaving it up.
Bidets have nothing to do with the toilet seat unless you’re talking about guys pissing in the bidet which I guess you could do but you could be more specific?
