| Today's Michigan Question for the Genders
Posted: 6/26/2008 10:52:22 AM | "Dr Gerba also found that in the home, the kitchen sponge had the highest germ count, followed by the kitchen sink. The lowest bacteria count, out of 15 household locations, was the toilet seat. He said (perhaps a little jokingly), "If an alien came from space and studied the bacterial counts, he probably would conclude he should wash his hands in your toilet"."
I guess you can always find a study to support your view. My view is don't sweat the small stuff, does it really matter - up or down. | |

Posted: 6/26/2008 11:42:05 AM | You forgot to include this quote from the good Dr. Gerba, flawedbutfun, but thats ok, i did it for you. :)
Gerba has made quite a name for himself by studying public toilets and other places where germs lurk. In 1975, Gerba published a scientific article describing the phenomenon of bacterial and viral aerosols due to toilet flushing. When this aerosol of contaminated water is ejected into the air, it lands on everything in the bathroom, including your toothbrush. According to Gerba, this isn’t just another scare tactic to get men to put the top down.
During the study, gauze pads were placed around the experimental bathroom. Close-up photos of the germy ejecta, according to Gerba, looked like “Baghdad at night during an air attack.” The study showed that significant quantities of microbes floated around the bathroom for at least two hours after each flush. Gerba discovered that a lot of virus fell on those gauze pads.
And while the toilet stall was the beginning of Gerba’s distinguished hygiene studies, even he was astonished to find out that bathrooms aren’t the germiest of places. Your kitchen is. Gerba, who’s fond of quipping, “I’ve published several toilet papers,” says the kitchen is one of the germiest places in the house.
*Shivers* I will still keep my toilet seat down both for the germs,,and just cuz i dont enjoying looking down into something that has been um,,,,,used. lolol | |

Posted: 6/26/2008 3:48:42 PM | I put my seat down because I have cats. I guess as long as you put it down at night so I don't fall into it, don't turn the bathroom light on so I guess you get my drift .

Posted: 6/27/2008 9:29:02 PM | I saw something about the germs that fly out of the toliet. I started putting the lid down when I flush after that as I usually have a cup of coffee in there with me..lol.
Normally I leave the lid and seat up. Cannot be bothered with it when you really have to go. By the way, I bought one of those nice cushiony toliet seats and that darn thing would not stay up. It was like a guillotine. Had to go back to the hard plastic kind. | |

Posted: 6/28/2008 4:17:25 AM | | Depends on who's house it is. If your still dating and living separate if she is at his house, don't expect it to be down....It's his place. Vice versa for guys when they are at her place...We're not used to falling in when you leave it up, so be a little more courteous and put it back thy way it was. When you move into a new place together it's always a battle. | |

I hate those cushiony toilet seats. My bladder is trained (since I was 4 and became potty trained) not to release when I am sitting on something cushiony | |
