Both seats should always be shut before flushing. The lid is there for a reason. Guys that keep the seats up have piss and shit all over their bathrooms, including their toothbrushes. I hope this horifies many of you. It really should.

Can't believe people are arguing this with me. Hope i never find myself anywhere near yalls nasty ass bathrooms.

    iirc, Mythbusters confirmed that this doesn't matter, at least in regards to shit particulates being over everything.

    However, as an individual who has a bedroom right next to the bathroom, I can personally say the smell is a night and day difference between the lid being up or down before flushing.

    Between the toothbrushes and the attempt to create a sterile salsa to find out if double dipping matters, Mythbusters taught me that it's a filthy bacteria's world, and we're just living in it.

    They confirmed that it does matter, it was like a 6 meters radius of piss and shit particles with the cover open.

    The immediate effects are more apparent, but the result of the study was that fecal particles will cover every inch of your house from the bathroom, lid or no lid.

    But again, I still advocate vehemently for lid down. Whether it's more or less sanitary in the long run, in the short run it freaking stinks.
