We will be in touch
So what are the womens arguments for wanting us to put the seat down for them? I've never quite seen where the problem lies.
Pure bone idleness.
'splatter'
(we have three small boys...)
If you want it up, put it up
If you want it down, put it down
What he said ^
If it's not in the right position when you go in, it's hardly a huge chore to move it up/down as required, is it?
We solved the argument at uni by offering to leave the seat down all the time and to just aim through the middle 🙂
I just piss in the sink. My wife even puts a small towel at the side for me to wipe my knob on.
I always put the lid down and it annoys me when others dont. I used to have to reach over the loo for my tooth brush and when your hung over its too easy to knock some down the loo and in a house of 4 blokes there is always skiddies so I always shut the lid!

You make it sound like thats a hard thing? I'm starting to wonder if people on here are like the new jet pack we saw posted the other day!
I_ache - We're not talking about the lid here, no-one uses the lid apart from grandparents!
the vital thing is when flushing to put the lid down, otherwise a mushroom cloud of water vapour carrying specks of faeces, pee and all manner of assorted nasty things spreads out and sttles on your bathroom stuff. saw it on a how clean is your house show, have never flushed lidless since.
ah but they proved on mythbusters that putting the lid down made hardly any difference to the amount of matter ejected from the toilet during flushing
Just don't understand how this is such an issue? I'd much rather walk into a bathroom and not be able to look traight down the toilet bowl so always put the seat and lid down. My wife also prefers that. Leaving it up looks unsightly and is pretty lazy IMO, not to mention the potential for the girls' midnight trip to the loo where they forget in a sleep addled way to check the seat and then fall into the toilet bowl. No one needs ice cold porcelain at 3 in the morning.

Yup, definitely seat down:
1) as AdamM said, it just looks better when you walk into the loo
2) also as he said, helps the 2:00am loo break so you don't have to put the light on
3) if the women prefer it, is it really that big an issue to spend 1 second keeping them happy
Has anyone ever seen/heard of a urinal installed in a private house. I think it'd be a great idea.
it's not just that though is it, if we give in on that 1 second job then we'll be emptying the bin and changing the toilet roll next.
then they'll be wanting the vote and all sorts
it'll end in tears

How small is the towell thegreatape?
😆
got a PA years back, so sit to pee (urinals excluded)
job jobbed.
"[i]Has anyone ever seen/heard of a urinal installed in a private house. [/i]"
yes, it was in the bathroom of two, er, theatrical men
[i]2) also as he said, helps the 2:00am loo break so you don't have to put the light on[/i]
This would end in disaster surely. If I get up in the middle of the night to go for a wee, I'll just wee all over the lid/seat. And I'm a grown up. The teenage boy in the house is rarely awake during the day never mind in the middle of the night, guaranteed he'll not look before starting to wee.
My wife clearly doesn't get as drunk as yours, she checks before sitting down and seems quite content to move the seat to the desired position if she gets up in the night.
[i]got a PA years back, so sit to pee (urinals excluded)[/i]
Getting a PA makes wee come out your bum?
I think we have two issues running concurrently here:
1) The loo lid - supposedly stops the mushroom cloud of fecal coliform, but in actual fact doesnt unless you have a hermetically sealed one! Some may suggest the loo looks better with it down.
2) The loo seat - women want it down so they dont fall through the loo when they cant be arsed turning the light on to check whether they're going to fall through the loo. So they insist we make up for their assumptions and lack of thought.
In answer - 1) Loo's are ugly anyway, having the lid down makes no difference to how ugly it looks unless your family is prone to leaving presents visible...
2) If you want the seat up, put it up, if you want the seat down, put it down. Dont expect it to be in either position, if you fall into the water at 3am you have a tiny arse and should re-think your laziness.
yes samuri, yes it does, more than you would think.
Stand up for yourselves. Complain if she leaves the seat down ... very bad form IMHO, my rights are as valid as my wifes!!
For gods sake dont let her know I said that though
What - actors, thespians.
[i]Has anyone ever seen/heard of a urinal installed in a private house. I think it'd be a great idea.[/i]
To my mind, any sink is a urinal after the missus has gone to bed.
Hot and cold running urinals - for gods and bikers
We're not talking about the lid here, no-one uses the lid apart from grandparents!I always put the lid down.
Yup, lid used in our house. Then there need be no arguments about seat up / down. Simples.
I don't see it matters much. But if you want equality, put all the lids down - then everyone has to raise and lower a lid.
How small is the towell thegreatape?
More of a flannel really 🙁
Toilet seat down - it's [url= http://www.redlotusconsulting.com/Toilets.html ]feng shui[/url] apparently

But then men have to lift two lids at once..... 😆
Is it just me thinking this or were those fluffy lid covers and fluffy toilet rugs invented by a woman who was unaware how blokes p*ss? I never, ever stand on those fluffy toilet rugs in bare feet, yuk!
enfht - whats wrong with the covers and rugs? As a bloke I can't see any problem with them?
I have an image of [url=
funnily enough!
[i]enfht - whats wrong with the covers and rugs? [/i]
Apart from looking gay, they're the equivalent of having a piss soaked bar towel on your floor.
Mind you personally I'd rather stand on a slightly damp rug than in pools of piss 🙂
Good god, do some men just accept they have poor control over their directional abilities and let themselves go to pot? I stopped struggling to aim at the right spot when I was a small boy! Looking gay i might accept. Them, not me.
Problem solved here by getting a cool 'slow closing' seat that you just nudge and then gracefully closes without a thud/crash.
Makes you want to lower it - just like the old slow opening tape decks!
Sad? Me? You bet!
When I become rich, I'm going to have my own pissroom. It will have some nice turf underfoot and a big oak tree trunk in the middle of the room to piss against.
Bliss!

couldnt have put it any better myself, very funny 😆
Cheesy, we have one of those too ...brilliant bits of kit, hours of fun

So? Are you ill all the time? If not, then why go looking for sources of germs?
At home, seat down lid down always - I always have and always will. Strangely enough it's the wife (and kids) who can't put the lid down in our house. The kids sometimes seem to have trouble flushing the damn thing too.
At work I find it best not to touch anything except the flush handle.
1. What is the point of the lid?
2. What is the point of having a seat that lifts up? Can't you people manage to piss into a hole the best part of 1ft in diameter?
glenh - thank you returning reason and sanity to the argument!
Yeah but it's the drips that make a mess. 😛
not to mention the potential for the girls' midnight trip to the loo where they forget in a sleep addled way to check the seat and then fall into the toilet bowl.
With the lid down surely it would be worse not to check?! 😉
[i]What is the point of the lid?
[/i]
Exactly, whats the point of spending money on stuff that turns the water blue if you can't see it?
As a side point, this struck me as a good idea;

No arguments in our house, if he leaves it up, I put it down. If I've left it down, he lifts it up. We all wash our hands afterwards... don't we?
Re the 'piss soaked bar towels', ours get changed and washed regularly, just how much do you drip in your house??!!
[i]TOILETS IN THE SW (woman/romance/marriage): Toilets in the SW portion of the home will make marital troubles, or will cause someone to remain single a long time. Again, keep them closed and the door shut. Put a plant in here or bamboo rods to drain the energy here.
TOILETS IN THE NW (helpful people/breadwinner/man of the house): Toilets in the NW portion will bring difficulties to the breadwinner of the home. A bright light is the best counter to a bathroom in this location. Another suggestion is to add blue decorations here. Just be sure to NEVER put any candles in this bathroom or in the NW portion of the home. This is a very, very important rule because it can cause a sudden loss for the breadwinner of the family.
TOILETS IN THE EAST (health/family realtionships/first son): A toilet here impacts family relationships and the first son in the family. Over come this by hanging a 5-rod hollow windchime above the toilet.
TOILETS IN THE SOUTHEAST (wealth/abundance): Handle the same as in the east.
TOILETS IN THE WEST (children/creativity): A toilet here causes problems for the children in the family. Correct this by painting the door to the toilet red or keeping a bright light turned on. Do not paint the room white or decorate with metal or metal colors.
TOILETS IN THE NORTHEAST (wisdom/education/self growth): A toilet here can cause you to make dumb mistakes that might embarrass you. Add a plant in here or paint the room green to drain the negative energy here.
TOILETS IN THE NORTH (career/opportunities): A toilet here can cause you to suffer with job losses, career unhappiness, or lack of opportunities. Do not have any blue, black, or purple in here. Hang a 5-rod hollow windchime here or a large stone tied with a red ribbon next to the toilet.
TOILETS IN THE SOUTH (fame/reputation/social status): This creates a problem with your social standing. People will not think favorably of you and may be a source of backstabbing and politicking and gossip. Keep lights low and decorate in blues/blacks. A bubbling water fountain would be another good idea, too!
TOILETS IN THE CENTER OF THE HOUSE: This is such a common problem. Bathrooms in the center of the house drain vital energy. If you can, paint the room red and place candles in here. Or, decorate with as many red objects as possible to stimulate fire energy. Another suggestion is to keep a bright light on in this bathroom.[/i]
. . . explains everything then . . . sheesh 🙄
Don't drips also go into the bowl - I'm no Ron Jeremy but I cant see the difficulty here! Maybe we should be enforcing better toilet training!
I do like that green backlit toilet, thats brill.
[i]Can't you people manage to piss into a hole the best part of 1ft in diameter?
...
Don't drips also go into the bowl [/i]
You'd think so, but given that the bog seats/floors here at work are generally covered in pi55 by mid afternoon, I suspect that some blokes don't have a particularly good aim...
Brilliant - you learn about something new everyday:

One would think that, but it seems not. Insufficient control I reckon. Twas ever thus!

Oh, I see, it's the women's fault anyway, is it? 😆
There must be a lot of threads on the internet about bog seats if it's taken you 2 years to get round to this one.
got a PA years back, so sit to pee
You have a strange person push a hole through your knob end with a knitting needle, and a bolt fitted. And you lose the ability to pee standing up because urine sprays everywhere.
I really don't see the appeal.
we had a slow bog seat fitted when the downstairs toilet was done up
2 yr on and the lid's back to undamped slamming and the seat can't hold itself up unless you hold it there for a minute or so to "set" itself
kack, with a capital F
perhaps he means "Personal Assistant"got a PA years back, so sit to pee
it's hard to pee straight with a semi 😳
if the women prefer it, is it really that big an issue to spend 1 second keeping them happy
Why should I spend more time on her toilet than she spends on sex?
When I become rich, I'm going to have my own pissroom. It will have some nice turf underfoot and a big oak tree trunk in the middle of the room to piss against.
that is a very classy idea.
I used to live out in the sticks and always went outside for my last-thing-at-night widdle, bit of fresh air, look at the stars, lovely. I miss that.
🙂

I was trying to figure out why a large stack of loudspeakers meant he had to sit down...
Wonder if you are promoting something????
... badly.
It’s one those topics repeated ad infinitum by vacuous females. Once you’ve explained to said vacuous females (slowly, and using small words) that often the toilet furniture isn’t already in the desired configuration for our WC visits, and yet in the history of mankind you’ve never heard a man complain about having to move the seat and or lid (which are hinged and easily moveable), they then realise how incredibly banal their whinging on the subject has been.
Or, more likely, they carry on complaining regardless (empty vessels make the most noise).
Maybe I'm just lucky, I don’t actually know any females who bring the subject up.

Bei uns sind die Männer Sitzpinkler.
I'm the one who cleans the bog so I've adopted the same rules as German women who clean the bog.
Problem solved:
At home, I have a sit down piss (seat down obviously). No splash issues and if a #1 progresses to #2 - hey presto you're ready to go.
Plink, plink, fizz.
That WC turque can't possibly be in France, konaboy, it's too clean (and doesn't appear to be leaking).
Actually found one in a laybye in Central France - no walls around it and in plain view of the road too!

Not sad at all. We've got one of those, and it's great.
The lid needs to be down all the time round ours to stop the bloody dog drinking out of the toilet.
We had a rather clever toilet seat until recently that not only had soft close lid and seat, but had a hidden child seat for little bottoms. Lasted about 9 months which is quite a long time in my house.

I think the problem for men is one of a "inconsistent" stream and flow. I suppose it also depends on whether you have, erm, had the gentlemans rainhat removed or not.
