That's never made sense to me, either. I was raised by a single mother from age 12 and on, so it was kind of engrained in my head, so I always do it by instinct. But even so, it really has never made any sense to me.

I mean, if it's such a struggle for them to put it down, isn't it an equal struggle to put it down each time?

You never hear a guy say "You forgot to put the seat up! :cursin: "

You are trying to use logic to resolve a problem with a woman. That is the problem right there. We approach the situation logcially ("there is no reason for the seat to be down"), whereas they approach it esthetically or emotionally ("it looks gross", or "if he loved me he would think about me").

Along the same lines...when your woman picks out a toilet seat cover, does she give any thought to how thick it is? If it's big and fluffy the seat will fall down mid-pee. So you have to hold it up with your knee as you pee. That's a pain in the ass...but you don't hear guys gripe about it. "If you loved me you would pick out a toilet seat cover that isn't so thick! You're not thinking about me!!!". :rolleyes:

Technically, it's more of a struggle for us men because we have to lift the seat against gravity, whereas the women have the assistance of gravity.

case closed.

Guys, here is the solution.

Take a load off and just squat to pee. That way the seat always stays down. No aiming problems and if you feel the urge for a bombing run you are already in position.

(It'll probably get you extra bj's also).

My lovely bride takes this crap one step further. She says that I should also shut the actual lid before fluching so germs don't splash around when I flush.

WTF is that?

there is scientific evidence that this occurs. Every time a toilet is flushed small particles of bacteria are dispersed in the air through water droplets.

And if you have your toothbrush next to the toilet they say bacteria collects on it after every flush.

That's why I never flush.

Clears that problem up.

In 1975 Professor Gerba published a scientific article describing the phenomenon of bacterial and viral aerosols due to toilet flushing.
According to Gerba, close-up photos of the germy ejecta look like "Baghdad at night during a U.S. air attack." The article ominously depicts a "floor plan of experimental bathroom with location of gauze pads for viral fallout experiments." A lot of virus fell on those gauze pads, Gerba found, and a lot of bacteria too. In fact, significant quantities of microbes floated around the bathroom for at least two hours after each flush.

My wife used to get on me and my two sons until I told the kids to put the lid down the same time as the seat.

they had an episode on "Myth BUsters" about flushing and the toothbrush. If I remember right, they disproved that.

They used a bathroom for 30 days with exposed toothbrushes. Each of them would take a dump every day (or whenever the need arose), then they sent off the toothbrushes for testing.
