I've had my neighbor get their sewer line worked on that somehow resulted in making my toilets explode with sewer gas and shit particles.

The lid stays down.

I switched out to the slow close seats so there's really no effort or slamming. Just push, wait 2 seconds, then flush.

I would agree, but just yesterday I was visiting my mom and she asked that we leave the lid up in the rarely used guest bathroom because with it closed, it encourages mold growth. So I guess there's that.

It's late, I'm drunk, I barely remembered to get the seat up before doing my business, and I'm used to living on my own.

I don't even piss standing up anymore

the correct solution.

I started doing this over 30 years ago, when I shared a restroom at work with a few women. I kept doing it.

Where I grew up and live, there are two types of toilets, those designed to be sat upon, and those designed to be stood in front of. Use them as they were designed to be used, and they work better.

I've only ever seen photos of squat toilets. I imagine that men stand in front of them and piss all over them?

It's a lesson you learn once.

You might think, but a couple of weeks ago, uhh, a friend was sitting on the toilet at work when m..., I mean his equipment retracted and shot a stream of urine over the rim, which fortunately(?) was contained by his pants and underwear. Reportedly, he had to drape them over the vents in his urine-smelling office until they were dry enough so that he could go home and change clothes.

I was gonna say you’d be surprised how many waste particles fly around the room with the seat up - but from the sound of it, even more went everywhere with it down!

Cue

Women say it needs to always already be how they need it before doing their thing. Men are lazy and want to leave it up after peeing.

Me, I put the lid down before flushing because otherwise a minuscule amount of pee would probably splash out of the toilet. Would it be more convenient to leave it up all the time? Sure, but then there's more cleaning to do and that's less convenient again.

You don't want to microdose poop to boost your immune system? Lame.

But how do you check if you need to brush the bowl? Do you just wait for the flush to end and then raise the lid again to check under?

Flushing with the lid up is 🤢

exactly. we keep the lid open so the cat can fall in if he decides to be a dipshit

Too bad women are too stubborn to pee with the seat up. Men are willing to meet them half way and put the seat down for pooping.

The mythbusters episode convinced me. That water flush makes everything spiral upwards, and it lands in your toothbrush.

People who don't put the toilet seat down are unaware they're brushing with shit particles.
