My brother used to say, if i have to lift it up why shouldn't my wife have to put it down?
I see his point but, i close the lid to flush so i don't have to brush my teeth with a pissy shit particle covered toothbrush.

I dunno if you'd want to know (or maybe you know, already) but it only helps some with bacteria, not viruses: https://www.everydayhealth.com/health-home/should-you-flush-with-the-toilet-seat-up-or-down.
This issue always baffles me.
The amazing thing about owning a penis is that I can still pee sitting down and there's never any drama. Have to poop? Don't even have to move! Have to fart? Go for it! Not farting in your underwear makes them smell fresher for longer, anyway.

Bro wtf? I know that was a casual one liner... but it leaves sooo many unanswered questions!

I only piss in sinks and showers. It's the gentlemanly thing to do.
The gentlemanly thing would be to keep it in your pants, like I do.
you piss in your pants?
that's gotta get gross quickly
and drawers
This assumes that men ever lift the seat. I’d prefer it be left up so that there is at least a chance I can sit on a dry, piss-free seat. Lowering a seat is preferable to the alternative.
Toilet seats are fully operational by anyone, (it's true I checked). How about instead of trying to police everyone you just put it up or down yourself and stfu?
Seeing this sign would ensure I go out of my way to leave it up.
I'm a gentleman and so I lowered the seat as my hosts requested. But I also took a picture because it's funny and weirdly presumptuous.
Thats a spicy take. You know the seat being down is more than convenience, right? It's extremely unhygienic to flush an open toilet let alone the dangers of small children falling in. I recognize a public space is less likely to have a child small enough and unattended to worry significantly about.
We live in a society and all that. Personal responsibility only works if you err on the side of caution. If there is a default setting to a toilet seat and cover it would be down and closed. Otherwise, why put one on at all.
Manchild take
So, like, peeing into a toilet with the seat down, 100% keeps those tiny little splashes from hitting the tops my bare feet at home. So, when I pee in public toilets, I keep the seat down, to keep the urine off my shoes. I do wipe the seat if I miss, and I also spray if there is disinfectant. But I hear the smart girls squat atop the seat anyway.
Really, places where you don't have a urinal are sub optimal.
What kind of PSI are you working with?
No idea. I suppose you could estimate with a water hose outlet of similar diameter, put a psi gauge on it, and adjust pressure until the stream travels an appropriate distance, but who cares.
Sounds like factory default to me.
Is peeing standing up something I'm just too intersex to understand? Like even before bottom surgery it was just more easy and convenient to sit down for it
How is having to pull your pants and underwear down and sit down easier and more convenient than just unzipping your fly and peeing standing up?
I mean if you're at a urinal that's one thing but if you're going into a stall you're already wasting time might as well sit down and take a break, maybe take a smoke while you're at it
If you feel like sitting down, that makes sense, but it's not easier and more convenient.
You're not using the equipment to its full potential!
If men have to put down women have to lift up. Morality is when the same logic is applied to the other side. Otherwise your being sexist and prejudice.
Yes because men can only shit while standing. Are you reading your own bullshit?
Nah but you are if we shit the seat is down. Think before you speak.
So why should women put the seat up if they cant know if youre gonna shit or piss. Why dont you try that thinking before speaking thing yourself for once?
No no no. In public restrooms better to leave the seat up so that when people pee standing up the toilet water droplets don't get on the seat.
I pee standing up in public and know the mess it can cause.
Can people do what they need to do without anybody policing them? Seat up or down who cares?
As a guy please leave it up, when I need to poop I really don't want to sit on a seat with pee splatter all over. If it's really unisex I think most women rather put it down than sit on a wet toiletseat.
Why does it matter how it's left when you're done? All that matters is lifting it when you pee.
Well yeah, but way too many lazy guys just pee.
Okay, that's gross. It wouldn't even occur to me to not lift the seat first.
It really helps to explain all the folks who're fans of sink peeing, when you think about it.
