The Eternal Toilet Thread

[Libronyscien]

Yes my god daughter did it once in my house, it was indeed the water of satan.

All that you tried to get rid off by flushing, returning with a vengeance. That's no fun. That's no fun at all!

Unless it happens to someone you dislike.

[Distruzio]

I always put it back down. It's the polite and gentlemanly thing to do.

[Dread Lady Nathicana]

Meh. Look before you sit - simple as. It isn't as though my hands are broken and I can't put it up or down as needed, nor vise versa. That said, the seat is usually down, and I have never made an issue of it being so. We have two males and two females in the house, and it's all more or less worked itself out without any necessary discussions, rules, or requests on the matter. Go fig. *shrugs*

It in fact does require moderator intervention in my house. I got a warning and a ban.

You don't seem to have much faith in womens abilities. Are you sure you're being polite and not ridiculously insulting?
Do you cut up their meals for them too? Chew their food? That kind of thing?

You're a woman who can competently operate a toilet without a male preparing it for her.
Congratulations. Apparently, it's quite the feat.

The combination of a GG proponent and toilets is strangely fitting.

And rightly so. I was trying to be subtle without wanting to directly mention the act of flushing away useless crap.

well it was working very well, till you explained and that turns it from a smooth flush to a bit of an overflow, which is why i am glad the seat was down.

So you had to go outside like common livestock?

The livestock in my house is most uncommon.

And given the sudden development in TET, it seems only logical to bring this thread back in the spotlight. Some subjects are worth being discussed for a prolonged period of time quite a bit more than others, after all.

Well if we used targeting systems our aim would be better.

[Valloria]

In my house, there's a bathroom in each bedroom and one public one off of the dining room. In my room, I don't put the seat down because no-one else uses it. In my parent's room, the seat fluctuates depending on who used it last because my mom doesn't care, she puts it down and leaves it down, us guys put it up and leave it up. Honestly, it doesn't even matter.

Wearing a laser pointer there seems a bit uncomfortable, if you ask me.

[United Earthlings]

Got my own question first for the guys.

When you piss standing up, wherever that happens to be, do you just lift the lid up or both the seat and the lid?-should this be a poll option?

As to the OP: I was taught to put the lid down, so that's what I do as it's too hard to fight an ingrained behavior trait leftover from childhood. When I'm a guest in other people's homes, I try to leave it as I found it, but sometimes the default setting kicks in.

[Gold Harbor]

Put it d down and then close the thingy on top. That way she also has to open it before she can do anything.

At home I put both the seat and lid down, this is done more-so to keep things from being put into(young kids and all) or falling into the toilet that I really don't want to fish out. Have I left both up from time to time, umm, yeah its no biggie.
What prompted the whole question was the use of a MENs room at work by some of the female workers. None of the toilets at work have lids, just a seat.
The main issue was the few females that are complaining about the ONE mens room, where the seat is being left up. I mean after all it is a mens room that has been ok'd for females to use when it is vacant and the other WOMENs restrooms are occupied.

When peeing standing up i lift seat and lid, and put both down when done.

[Naushantiya]

I don't like other people using my toilet, I don't think anybody uses the water closet except me and everybody in my family uses his own toilet, we have around 6 toilets attached with bathrooms, 3 people stay here, so I never actually thought this could be debated or discussed but I keep it anyhow, I never particularly thought about this, right now it should be up I guess

this is weird

[New Neros]

I follow the simplest solution, as a male, and sit down to pee.

Must be a big house if there are six toilets available!

Yeah, see, no-one is saying that the seat should be put back down because women are incapable of doing so themselves... In three out of four possible scenarios (women defecating, men defecating, women urinating) the seat is down, so doing so is simply a matter of courtesy. Why should the seat be left up for the one instance (men urinating) where that is the optimal arrangement?

[Ameige]

If there is a woman in the house, it is just polite etiquette to put the seat down. If not, then whatever happens, happens.
What if there is a power outage and you have a woman in your house who needs to use the bathroom? If you didn't have the seat down, your going to hear about it.
Or just if she is used to people being respectful enough to mind the fact there is a woman in the house and she gets to find out your the one person who doesn't care.
You will get an ear-full. If a woman is not in the house, do what you will. If there is, put the seat down or we will chew your ear off for it.
