Random Thread - Anything Goes

You know what is weird, as a guy who has ALWAYS closed the lid of the toilet since I was little, I've always wondered what girls were doing to need it left a certain way. I've always had to assume, as all men do, that the toilet is never in a usable state and must be adjusted to whatever state is proper. If leaving the seat up could cause a disaster, so would leaving the lid down. Certainly I've left a wake of women who have peed all over the floor because they just sat on the lid and peed without opening it.

Also, never once, in my entire life, have I not looking at a toilet before doing it. Are women really using the bathroom with their eyes closed or something? I literally can't think of how the toilet seat being up, or the lid being closed, could introduce an actual problem of any sort unless there is a significant bathroom using issue that this just highlights.

@scottalanmiller Being the only man in a house of five, I have been thoroughly trained. I caught myself putting down the seat in a public restroom after I used it.

Opposite here. I'm the only man in a house of four but all have been taught to keep the lid down, open toilets are kinda gross and with women in the house, very accident prone. That lesson has kept SO MANY THINGS from falling into toilets. I'm the only member of the family that isn't routinely dropping something onto the toilet lid that would have otherwise gone "sploosh."

So if you put the lid down, do you get puddles on the floor? I'm convinced this is what happens.

Wha? How often are people carrying stuff into the bathroom?

Constantly. Toilet paper rolls, phones, towels, shampoo bottles, soap and the kids always take toys to the tub for bath time.

I put the lid down to avoid toilet plume and here is why you should too and you're welcome.
