I close the lid. I don’t want to see, hear, or smell that.

Edit: My heart goes out to everyone who concluded closing the entire lid after flushing meant not flushing.

    There's a lever, usually located on the upper left, that will flush it away

    That leaver causes microscopic bits of poop to be sprayed everywhere unless you close the damn lid

    Not so fun fact: the microscopic bits of poop just spray to different places if you close the lid, but there's just as many.

    Second not so fun fact: mythbusters tested this as well and found that there's microscopic poop bits everywhere anyway, and they will get on everything.

    Fun article, except I think there's a lot of other factors like the type of seat, hi vs low flow, and which surfaces you're talking about.

    If it mitigates getting shit on the sink counter / toothbrushes, but not the floor, that sounds like a win. And yes, always use proper cleaners... what madman cleans a toilet with just water?

    Wow thanks for sharing, I never would've thought! Glad my toilet is in a seperate room from the bathroom (and that that's pretty normal in my country).

    Quick ETA: I just realised this is 'just' about aerosols. So not necessarily true of micro-solids, still important

    Alternatively, make both genders put the lid down. That way everyone has to do the same work to pee.

    Everyone should put the lid down because the top lid is to keep poop mist from covering everything.

    This why I've lived with many a woman and never experienced this, and we respect each other enough not to clutter up the sink and also not have the shitter be out and open for everyone.

    I always put the lid down. It's got a lid for a reason, it looks much nicer with it down.

    standing to piss at home is too messy. and i hate when i get up to use the toilet at night and i try to sit but the seat is up. always put the seat back down it's not hard.

    also these weird adversarial gender memes are cringe.

    With the time you save by leaving the seat up, build her a vanity in the bedroom. A couple of Ikea drawers, a standalone desk top, a large freestanding mirror, and some LED strip lights. It's a fun project and you will both love it. Also put the seat and lid down, that's nasty

    My wife and I just have separate bathrooms, but it's largely because we're both nesters so we each need a sink that looks like this.

    We have separate bathrooms, but I still have PTSD from the time I changed the skirting boards in hers.

    l know the picture, but I also sit while peeing.

    Trying not to be an asshole to my SO...

    Brothers, I am AFAB, and this picture still reminds me of one of my most infuriating roommates.

    Trust me, in this hypothetical, she'd annoy me a little too.

    I usually say to my wife "You left the toilet seat down!". Turnabout is fair play.
