  I never understood the whole “you left the toilet seat up” complaint. Never been an issue in my family but have heard “he never puts the seat down” all the time. Is it that much effort to put the toilet seat down when you need to go?

  If you properly close a toilet seat/lid, everyone has to open it before using it, I don’t see what the big deal is

• aesthelete@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Soft close toilet seats should be mandatory.

  Then putting the lid down is a matter of a single light push.

  Invent a new urinal and demand everyone use a shewee-like thing (for aim purposes). Now everyone can enjoy the satisfaction of peeing standing up and we can get rid of all gendered restrooms.

  Now what, maga?

    I’ve been to men’s restroom before. I wouldn’t sit on that unless extremely necessary. Even then, I’d wipe that ship clean and cover it in toilet paper first

    I do wonder if they all sat whether that’d solve it, though. That is, if it’d be cleaner. Or maybe they don’t need to sit to keep it clean. Idk

    Men that pee standing up (except urinals, or bushes) just like to make their life a tiny bit worse for no reason at all.

  I’m a woman and will leave the seat up at work (not at home)

  We have unisex toilets and truck drivers use them - they regularly wee all over the toilet seats if left down :(

    if there is a lid - always down

    if there is no lid - always up

    it is the safest, cleanest, fairest option

    we just leave it down at home. we talked about it one day and everyone with male excretory parts just wants to get off their feet. only time the seat lifts is for cleaning.

  • Dozzi92@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I’ve thought of this so many times. I’m fact, I’ve thought about a spring-loaded seat hinge that raises the seat unless there’s a person upon it. If the seat is always up, it is much less likely to be urinated upon. It takes the work completely out of the hands of the user.

    source
• y0kai@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  If you raise it, put it back down when you’re done. If you put it down, put it back up when you’re done. That seems fair.

  Alternatively, if there’s a lid, close the lid when you’re done. Then everyone is equally “inconvenienced”.

    In my house, the toilet seat and lid are down when not in use. Because I have a cat and she’s the kind of idiot that will jump into the toilet and then track toilet water into my bed.

    • GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      • Cleaner for your penis: sitting down eliminates the last drops remaining that are common when standing up
      • Cleaner for the bathroom: zero risk foreskin messing up your aim and having pee hit areas that don’t get washed by the flush
      • Better urine elimination for men that have prostate issues or lower urinary tract symptoms. I don’t, but it’s a factor
      • More chill to sit down and check your phone while in the bathroom

• halvar@lemy.lol ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  But like, if men pee with the seat up, but both men and women poop with the seat down, then statistically the seat is already down more than half of the time. Now if we enforce a policy like this, that would mean more than half of the times someone walks in and needs the seat to be down is in luck, but the rest has to do double the “work”. And if someone goes in after someone who would have otherwise left the seat up, they too do double the work, so the seat changes position 4 times instead of once. I think it’s much more “just” to simply change the seat whenever you need it and sometimes you will even find it in the position you need it.

  Leave the seat down so when you flush you won’t inhale your poop and pee.

    I think just being an organism with an anus leads to higher levels of poop exposure than whatever minuscule amount of particulate matter that manages to aerosolize from an unlided flush

  I don’t really understand what is the end goal here. It isn’t minimising of total work done, because for this optimal strategy would be just leaving the seat in whatever position it was used. Funnily enough, amount of times it needs to be put up is exactly the same it needs to be put down in absolute terms, but considering the “up” group is smaller than “down group”, their perceived amount of times position should be changed is higher than the same for the opposite group. I. e. in group of one “up” and 9 “downs”, “ups” need to change position of lid with 90% probability, and for every “down” it’s only 10%. Huh. Ofcl course overall it equalizes: 1×0.9=9×0.1.

  Or is it some kind of “welcomeness”? Like, leaving the lid in the most probable expected position (which for equal gender usage would be “sitting” because people sometimes poop, usually not while standing; and because penis people sometimes pee while sitting (me often, but usually at home, not in public)).

  Or is it something else?

    I’ve heard of someone who’s mother died cuz they left the seat down and she just got stuck

  • yardy_sardley@lemmy.ca ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I don’t know either. There really isn’t a universally agreed upon standard for how to leave a toilet seat. Even with a sign dictating the expected behaviour, it’s not a guarantee. It’s completely illogical to expect a toilet seat to have been left in any specific state*, and therefore the onus is entirely on the next person to set it how they want before using it. This is already how it works. It takes 1 second. I don’t know who is complaining about it.

    Although, on second thought, the only people who would ever have to move the seat in a seat-down world are those who want to pee standing up, and there might be some value in very gently discouraging that behaviour in a public restroom. Not sure if that’s the goal here, but it’s a theory.

    *Unless there’s a lid. Close the damn lid!
