1. Other: Toilet SEAT? Looks like we got us...

...some posh lefties on this here board. Can't let them delicate rumps touch porcelain, oh no!

Toilet seat. What will they think of next?

[VeggieTart]

32. Seat and lid down, please

I really don't want my cat to think it's a huge water bowl.

[bearfan454]

2. My buddy's wife has the seat at their house where it won't stay up

You have to hold the seat up until you're done whizzing.

[mark414]

3. if it's so easy to put it down...

why can't you? :shrug:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

5. I'll have to try that line on my wife.. and watch carefully to see if I

continue to live.

[ghostsofgiants]

6. I'm sayin'!

[blonndee]

10. Here is why: EVERYONE uses the seat while down,

only one sex uses it while up. Therefore, it serves the greater common good to have the seat down by default, and it is the duty of the one who raises it to restore the seat to its default (and natural) position.

4. it's not so much that I might accidently sit on it up...

but that now I have to touch the damn thing

[rug]

7. If I had to put the seat down each time, I'd just use the sink.

[MissMillie]

8. I have a cat that likes to play in the water

put the seat down and put the lid down too

[Blue Diadem]

9. problem solved at our house by buying a self closing seat,

just takes a little tap forward and the seat s.l.o.w.l.y closes so does the lid.

It's just awful that we're used to it and if we go elsewhere we tend to forget and either the lid or the seat is heard crashing down.

12. Really?

Please post the URL of the supplier? Copius seat fly-downers and ups want to know. Seriously. Males think Females are too prissy, but it is pretty awful to be in the middle of the night and a seat is left up, we don't wish to have a light on to disturb our housemates, partners, friends, spouses, and the behind feels something slimy that is urine? It's easier if the male just does his bathroom duty, and leaves the seat down, unless one is staying in a Frat house..then women who choose to stay there have to beware.

Ugh..

19. Here it is:

We bought it in the store..regular price might have been $35..we got it on sale for under $30.

edited to add: The upper link is to the elongated seat. Here's the round one:

11. I solve this problem by being single and living alone.

Ha! Take that! I leave my damned toilet seats how I please. Muahahahahahaha!

[benny05]

14. And it is easier

And you seldom invite a guest? And you never entertain more than yourself at your dwelling?

[GOPisEvil]

15. Yeah, I occasionally entertain, but I generally leave my guest seat down.

[benny05]

16. There You Go!

So will Chris Bell prevail, speaking of politics? I hope so..

[GOPisEvil]

17. He's riding high right now.

He did quite well in the recent debate and got a $5 million contribution. :thumbsup:

[Mutley]

13. It doesn't matter to me

It's just as easy for me to put down as it is for the guy.

:shrug:

[GirlinContempt]

18. in before the in before the lockers

[Monk06]

20. Sitzer spritzer here. Holding up all that weight is so..... exhausting.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

21. I'd gladly take charge of the toilet seat if my guys would just

flush.

[Nicole]

22. Other: Female & I like it left up

That way I know it wasn't sprinkled on.

[Arkansas Granny]

24. That can be an important consideration. I raised three sons and

I work with a bunch of guys. If the seat is left up, it was more than likely up when they used it. I'd rather check for seat position instead of sprinkles.

[Crabby Appleton]

25. excellant point you two -nt

[tjwmason]

23. Seat and lid down.

Anything else just looks nasty.

[Briarius]

26. since the cats and maybe the dog would try and drink out of it

the seat always goes down!

[genie_weenie]

27. Put it back the way you found it... n/t

[bikebloke]

28. Down

For a couple reasons.

My grandmother had a tale from back in the 30's. She heard a splash in the bathroom and caught a big rat climbing out. It swam through the pipes. She said she chased it with a broom for twenty minutes. At least someone wasn't sitting on the bog.

Plus I'm worried that on a klutzy day, I might drop my specs or something into it.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

29. You put the seat up, you put it down.

:P

[ScreamingMeemie]

30. Solution: ALL mommies should teach their baby boys to pee sitting

down... "duck and tuck" and there would be no more toilet seat dilemma. :hi:

[Maine-ah]

31. got to be down.

the dogs will drink out of the bowl. ICK. Good thing my MIL trained my husband well as a child.
