If ladies want guys to put the toilet seat down for them, shouldn't they...

Question

put the toilet seat up for us? Its the way I urinate. I mean, women can urinate standing up also, so why should us guys be forced to conform to their wishes of them wanting to sit down but they not conforming to ours?

btw, if a woman does not demand me to put the seat down, then i don't care if she leaves it down.

Answer 1

it sounds gross. seriously this question had me think about getting an individual toilet when living with another individual of the opposite s*x. why dont u live in a  house that has two or more bathrooms

Answer 2

Put the seat and the lid down before you flush, regardless of your gender.

Otherwise particulate matter fills the air.

Answer 3

Germs and fumes from the sewer come up through the toilet.  It is gross and disgusting to not put the seat and the lid down when you are finished with the toilet.  Unless of course you were raised in a trailer park, and by all means, make the place smell like a urinal.

Answer 4

The toilet seat and lid should ALWAYS be put down.  When flushing partials, drops and other nasties all get shot up in the air....somewhat like when you sneeze.  Why do you think they invented toothbrush covers?

Answer 5

I always close the lid anyway, it's more hygienic. We both have to lift at least one part of it up.  

Answer 6

well you gotta point but girls cant urinate standing up!

Answer 7

It's good ettiquette to put the seat AND the lid down.

Answer 8

up or down dosent matter to me,  

Answer 9

I live in a house with 3 males! All I ever ask is that you hit the inside of the toilet. I don't mind putting the seat back down as long as it is clean. I never have demanded that, my husband usually puts it down anyway. By the way I am not a fem!

edit: Besides why can't you just aim through the seat then neither of us have to lift it!

Answer 10

It's a silly little thing called manners.

But I doubt you know what those are based on this question.

btw, we put the lid down in my house.

Answer 11

Its not about women conforming we can not aim standing up it doesn't work that way... back to school.  It may be the way you urinate but we both do two things in there.  For both I sit down - for one you sit down... that's three for the seat down and 1 for it up... Case dismissed put the toilet sit down.  Your girl should agree to leave it up and pee standing up if you would agree to being in charged of cleaning the toilet.  You think men aim bad...hmmmm!

However there are numerous reasons to put the seat down such as a pet that you don't want drinking toilet water or a small child... Common with all that is going on you would think the old time put the seat down argument had been settled.  It just makes sense!

Answer 12

If a couple actually argues about this what the h**l are they doing together?

Answer 13

I would make a horrible mess if I stood up to pee...wait, maybe that is part of the point.

With all the problems in the world I do not worry a lot about the toilet seat.  I grew up with lots of brothers and raised three sons.  I picked my battles and that was not one of them.

Having said that, is there something wrong with closing the entire toilet lid.  I mean, it really is more attractive in your bathroom.

Answer 14

Other than being an chivalrous etiquette thing, I think it would make more practical sense for a person to leave it up at all times, then putting it down when someone needs to sit on it. Seem like there would be less handling of the toilet.

It has been done the classic way for many years so, as they say " when in Rome do as the Romans.

Answer 15

well dumbass, perhaps it's because the toilet seat is required to be down more than it is required to be up, due to the positions that the body needs to be in in order to perform specific functions

1. females need to urinate sitting down=seat down

2. females need to p**p sitting down=seat down

3. males can (but don't need to) urinate standing up=seat up

4. males need to p**p sitting down=seat down

well, so far I've gotten 3 points for seat down, 1 point for seat up.  Looks like seat down wins.  And by the way, females can urinate standing up, but it's very difficult and we run a high risk of getting pee all over the place, whereas a guy can just sit on the toilet, stick his d**k in it, and pee.

Answer 16

I put the seat and the lid both down.  It keeps things from falling in.  

Answer 17

Why do the man-hating feminists always expect to be given special preferential treatment just because they're women?

Answer 18

I leave the seat UP.

Golden rule: "look before you sit! Stupid..."

Answer 19

I was the only female in the house with 3 guys (bf and 2 sons).  The toilet seat up/down was a losing battle for me.  I just learned how to push it down with my toes. lol

Answer 20

Well, it reflects the broader ideal that women and men should treat each other equally.
