1. Our cats jump on the toilets all the time, if we leave the seat up, they
have a nasty surprise.

2. Mine plays in ANY water :eww:
Toilet, sink, soaking dish, my saltwater tank, ANYTHING that has water in it.

I have to shoo her out of the bathroom when I or my gets get a bath - she'll jump in.

3. Sorry to break rank with my sex here
But leaving it up should be a capital offence. It just looks so ugly - plus there are hygiene reasons too.

You'd be considerate for the next person.

4. I explained it to my girlfriend like this:
"Look, I'm not always going to put the toilet seat back down. So sue me.

When I need to sit down, I put the seat down. And when I get to the toilet and the seat is down, I lift it up. Sometimes, though, I forget to put it back down.

But what would you prefer? If I lifted the seat and forgot to put it back down, or if I just left the seat down?"




She didn't really like that explaination...

5. Funny I always look first. I've never fallen in.
Perhaps I am more perceptive or perhaps this is an anomaly askew from any other human experience ever documented.

6. The toilet lid should be closed before flushing.
If you don't already know this, you cannot use my bathroom. :P

7. Other (Dog related reason)
No Lucky, that is not your water bowl.

No Lucky, don't lick my face after you drank from there.

8. I had the hardest time convincing
my teenage grandson that he should put the seat up BEFORE taking a piss. I got so sick of sitting on a wet seat that I took the damn thing off. I can handle a rim better than sitting in someone else's urine.

9. I'd prefer to find the seat up over the seat having piss all over it
I hate that.

13. If someone leaves the seat up and I fall in...
I get mad at them to say the least. I'm used to living in an all female household though. I guess if I lived in the same house with a guy, I'd check. And believe it or not, I have gone into public restrooms for women and found the seat up. I'd have to say that was better than finding wet seats. Ellen Degeneres was right. Women in public restrooms must be squatting and dancing while they pee or something. The seats are always wet for some reason...

15. Seat and lid down before flushing
Less particulate crap floats around your bathroom that way, and it keeps the 2.5 year old around here out of it!
