The toilet seat debate

A question I got a triple of days ago from watching ergo proxy episode 16 (screenshot above). I wasn't even conscious of such an issue you know, no one really cares about it in our household, including 2 women. But after watching that episode above (and feeling sympathy for the main heroine)it really made me think if the ladies would appreciate it more or is it something that shouldn't be concerned about?

So like I started putting it back down just in case. What about you?

What a coincidence. I've just finished watching Ergo Proxy yesterday, with that episode included.

OT: That toilet seat thing comes across my mind once in a while, but I never bother to think thoroughly about it. So I'm pretty much in the "Dun care" category, because I don't see why people would make so much fuss about it.

Anyone who has lived with women will know that it would be best to lift up the seat before taking a piss in the shared restroom. Unless you want to hear a mind numbing lecture from Charlie Brown's teacher.

I never had any issue with it, but I usually put the seat down after I go.

They should look before sitting. I do it everyday. Pissing on the seat is another issue.

I always put the seat down anyway, cover and all. I got into the habit since sometimes water could splash out and I didn't want to get piss water on me.

Edit: But people should still look before they sit. It takes a second to do.

Actually that goes without living with women or having a shared restroom, you know. Unless you're muslim.



I don't know about you man but 16th ep was my favorite. Though I only followed the show to see Rei Vincent Pino threesoms.


As long as i've been here no one made a thread or mentioned it. There was also a south park episode at that, so like I'm pondering if it's only an issue on tv.



Hence the opening image (that suddenly disappeared somewhere), not to mention google shows some real debates going on. That's why I'm asking whether it's another one of those feminist conspiracies and that the majority of women won't even care if I put it back.

The main reason I come across when I debate with people is: 'But then I have to touch it before I pee, and that's gross' Counter argument: Then we have to touch it twice. Once to bring it back up, and once to bring it down.
Another argument: 'Just take a piss with the seat down' Counter argument: Sure, if you want piss all over the seat. They take a fair bit of skill to aim.

You've actually had a reprehension? So it's an existing issue then. [size=10]All is lost.[/h] Now the only thing that's left is to see how many people get this situation.




How did it occur to you if you haven't had an issue?

Yep... But only when I was with the ex. She only really mentioned it after the friend did. My mum and sister don't seem to care when I leave it up at home. And nobody else seems to care too much. Haven't really had many other experiences though

People should just put down both the seat and cover when they're finished like you would close a cupboard door.

I'm a man among women. Men have always been the minority in our home unless you count the cat.

So I have been raised to never stand up while pissing unless it's outside and always leaving the seat down.

... mother of god. My condolences to your family.



You go through that whole effort of opening and closing your can every time. Some rich upbringing right there.






So after reading all that guess I really need to catch up with the times. Good thing I asked.

Geez.
Just put the toilet seat up (or down) and move the fuck on.
No need to think when diarrhea strikes.

I don't care and the whole debate is a stupid one.

If anyone kicks up a fuss about it, I just tell them that if I have to pull it up to use it then they can put it down and to stop being a lazy fuck.

I understand your call for manliness. So you ought to understand my curiosity of how people think around the globe. I believe that a man can retain his sense of manliness even after putting down the toilet seat. You just have to change your way of thinking from "she's the same lazy fuck as I am so" to "I'm trying to make this world a brighter place" and "bitches like toilet seats horizontal".

Manliness shmanliness, I go for the whole equality thing. That includes "If I have to do it, you have to do it too".

I'll put it down on my own free will if I get all picky about germs and after I've gone for a shit.

Leave it down. That way, when I really have to shit, it's just pants down and do it.

The seat is always down for me when I'm alone.

Only if a lady is present. Living on my own or with dude roommates, well- don't really see a reason to.
