    I always put the lid down out of habit. But you end up cleaning the toilet more from mold build up in the bowl.

    The better option is a fancy japanese toilet that opens and closes itself as you enter and leave the room.

    Do you think there’s actually such a debate?

    Could be solved that way, I personally don’t participate in it.

    I (cis man) always fully close the toilet when it’s not in use. Never would occur to me to do otherwise.

    Some of my women friends leave the seat down lid open, but then their cats drink out of the toilet.

    I’M ALWAYS SAYING THIS!!

    Personally, I think this is one of those “Man vs Bear” type arguments where it’s not an argument about the actual thing, but an argument about gender power dynamics instead. Who is entitled to the default toilet setting? Etc, etc.

    Please ftlog don’t rehash Man vs Bear argument in the replies.

    I know I’m a weirdo but I pee like 7x a night and I need the seat down cover up.

      That… sounds like a medical problem

    I believe in the majority rule.

    Got more standing pissers than sitting pissers? Seat stays up.

    everyone should just bring their own lid, one they like at that

    I had 2 older sisters. I was trained to put the toilet seat down.

    I also grew up with a toilet with an overhang counter, so items were prone to fall in.
