Enough. More vacation time being dealt today. More warnings too. When is the season going to start? Seat up for me. Just common courtesy.
I typically raise the seat up with my foot in public restrooms unless the seat is already laden with poop and pee. In that case it's kind of pointless.
I pee out the front door mostly, but if I use the home throne to pee I squat. Too much splatter even when you hit dead center. You'd think in 2014 we could design a toilet that would keep all ricochets in. Public, lift with paper if by hand or foot without.
We call it an upper decker....lol...but thats funny!!! In public I do the ole foot raise and its up to the next guy to put it back down if hes so inclined... At home, I am a bachelor, it still goes up and comes back down out of sheer habit of being married...she had me trained well
So almost 30% of you don't put the seat up when you pee? Is it just me or is that odd?? Why do you think the seat has a hinge on it? For decoration?
What I get yelled at about is not putting the seat back down. 2 women in the house and they can't put the seat down, it must be too much work for them.
While I do put the seat down at home and friends houses etc. I have no idea where the tradition came from. Do women seriously not check to see if it has been lowered back down before sitting? I will admit, I have one female friend that watches too much TV. She seen on Dr. Oz or.some show about the spray that allegedly occurs when you flush. Now she is adamant about not only lowering the seat but also the lid before flushing. I think that is a bit anal (no pun intended), so I always flush then lower the seat and lid before I exit out of pure spite. Wouldn't lowering it before flushing cause that spray to coat the seat anyway and defeat the purpose of lifting it to begin with.
Putting the lid down reduces the arch of the spray and keeps it from getting on the lid. It's like putting a lid over your food when you microwave. It'll hit the lid but not get on the microwave. Regardless poop or pee won't do anything to you if you sit on it, I mean dogs lick it up.
Maybe it's just so you can get it out of the way to clean the bowl. I always raise the seat. I refuse to put it down afterwards though. If the wife expects me to raise it everytime, then she should be willing to lower it. I have to admit that I do get a good laugh when she forgets to put the seat down - especially in the middle of the night.
I flip a coin each time I urinate in order to determine seat up or down. Some days, all heck breaks loose on the downed toilet seat.
While that may be the case I will heed to the side of caution on that one. Whether it's my own urine/fecal matter or someone else's I'm not going to sit in it regardless of circumstances. Dogs and homeless people eat out of garbage cans. I won't be doing that either
Not only do I lift the seat, I put both the seat and the lid down after I'm done. I can't stand an open toilet bowl, it just makes me think about fecal fairies flying into my oxygen supply.
A shot of alcohol kills anything bad in your stomach. Hence why I always drink sake with sushi! I don't care so much because i love third world country street food, so really this just helps me build up the antibodies to not get sick when I eat their fecal encrusted food.
