When I want your opinion...I'll ask for it

[BradBigBrain]

I want to ask a bunch of questions like Clowns' "I want to get to know you better" thread. I was going to start with sexual myths, but then I thought I do more mundane things, then I came back to sexual myths. And now I'm just going to steal IHC's idea and ask you for your opinion.

1. What do you really think about the position of the toilet seat (up or down) and why?

 

[perkyT]

Not only do I want the seat down, I want the lid down. It looks better that way to me...and M&M don't know how to lift the lid yet.

 

[kara1234]

I agree. I want the lid down. It looks better, and I don't want to tempt the dog to have a drink. Eww.

 

[BlackCashmere]

Down...

Martha Stewart says this is the way...so...I go with her...

I'm in agreement with the rest of the ladies. It's just nicer to walk in and have the whole thing closed.

Plus in the middle of the night, there is nothing worse than not realizing it's up and that moment before you don't stop where you think you're going to and feel that cold water...ICK!

 

[dutchrain]

I don't bother with the seat, as long as everyone puts lid down after he or she is done.

Because:
1. I don't want the cat to drink out of the toilet bowl (and I certainly don't want to find her footprints on the seat if I am going to sit down!)
2 It simply looks better.

I prefer seat and lid down unless being used........

Good call.

I'm a lid and seat down guy. Mainly because:
1. I grew up in a house with 5 women. It was easier than getting yelled at all the time.
2. My SO prefers it.
3. It's neater.
4. I have dogs and an open toilet boil would be the yummiest ever to them.

 

[Scentofawoman]

I want the seat down.

1) I've fallen in the toilet while seat was up as well as lid in the middle of the night.

2) the dogs

3) accidental dropping of things into the bowl.

 

[Shadowmist99]

I agree with most of the others. Lid and seat down. When we got our first kitten when I was a teen, the shelter recommended this to keep the kitty from falling in and accidentally drowning. It's always stuck and has simply become habit. Now I prefer it that way anyway.

Definitely seat down and I trained my son that way. Yes, I too, have had too many middle of the night bum washings due to the seat left up.. not a nice way to spend the night!

 

[cowslinger64]

When I'm alone its lid up.. when I'm staying with a woman or have her over, I put the seat down.


they have this really cool thing to keep your funky ass out of the toilet at night:

Here's a wrinkle. Hypothetical situation:

You're man in a public loo and you have to pee. The seat is already down but covered with urine (which, by the way could have been perpetrated by a member of either sex-I've seen some of you squatters in action )

Do you?

A: go about your business and leave the seat as you found it

B: wipe clean the seat, go about your business then leave it in the up position to assure the next user that you are not the type to soil toilet seats

C: scenario B, only you close the lid for the next user

LOL.. yes I am aware.. but if that is used, then I awake fully and it is up all night for me!

 

[RubenesqueAphrodite]

I'm outnumbered in the testosterone department around here, so I don't really care if it's up or down. ALL I ASK IT THAT IT GOES IN AND NOT AROUND THE TOILET..

lol

 

[janeyl]

I want the seat and the lid down prior to flushing...not keen on the aerosol effect covering my toothbrush and other stuff with toilet water...

And it looks neater and stops the cat drinking out of it...

well here ya go then!!

I don't know how many times I've walked into the bathroom in the middle of the night and peed all over the lid. Someone really should invent a device to....oh wait...cowslinger already did. That should make you millions. Good for you.


And toilet water isn't the worst thing a cat and dog lick. Watch them for awhile. You'll never let them lick you again if you do that. Besides, if you flush, the water in the bowl is actually clean water. Though, the paw prints on the seat are annoying.

But to be almost serious. As a guy, up. As an uncle of three nieces, down. And since the bathroom is a place of business, the feng shuiness of the space isn't necessary. Just keep the toilet paper handy.

Scenario D:
Use your foot to lift the lid. Do your bidness, and leave it as is. Alert the authorities.

 

[hwwannabe]

Down. It should be shut before you flush so the toilet water doesn't spray out, and it does. Yuck!

 

[NotHisLady]

At least here, seat down and lid closed.
Primarily because of the cats. I promise, the first time one of them yacks up the pretty blue water all over the foot of the bed closing the potty stops seeming like a chore!

 

[Deprived_in_AZ]

Sorry but isn't the phrase "When I want your opinion I'll give it to you"?


The toilet seat issue notwithstanding, of course.

might wanna turn the water pressure down a little!!

2. From your own experience is it a myth or is it a truth that hand/shoe size is directly related to the size of a man's penis?
