I m inventing a new tiolet seat one thats spring loaded
Japan has had them for 20 years, except now they are motorized and do all sorts of things as well as just lift and close the lid. Here's a starter

| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 9/4/2009 11:21:25 AM | Well, I keep the lid down as well, so it baffles me when a man can't lift the seat (and or lid) do his business, then drop it back down... I have to lift the lid and replace every time so what's the difference.
I will say one thing though... To me it's common courtesy to leave the seat in the exact position you found it in, unless you know it was a mistake... ie: When you go to a woman's house and use her john, you will find the seat and sometimes the lid down. Well, when you leave, put the seat back where you found it...
It's no difference for me, when I go visit a male friend, or perhaps stop by and use someone's machine shop to work on my truck and I need to go, I'll note whether the seat is up, or down, and then I place it back how I found it... I'd hate for a guy to have to lift the seat back up in his own shop! LOL Common courtesy, in my book...

| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 9/4/2009 11:37:00 AM | Ewww, GROSS! I don't wanna touch a toilet seat, especially if you've "missed"!  | |

Consider this...The seat AND the lid should be left down by BOTH sexes each time. Why??? It is esthetically correct and unbiased in reference to gender.
Bingo. | |
|
| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 9/4/2009 9:13:28 PM | | I dont only put the seat down, but my ex must have trained me well because I even close the lid. Lol! | |
|
| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 9/5/2009 12:38:08 AM | We walk in the washroom and we can't miss seeing if the seat is up. Just plop it down.
What drives me bats is it seems they are putting these geriatric hand rails on all of the toilets. I can see reserving a stall or 2 that is handicapped accessible, but this gets out of hand when every toilet now had to have a rail bolted to it. I feel clausterphobic. | |

| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 9/5/2009 2:24:02 AM | now if i could only persuade my teen boys that they really *should* wash their hands each time they use it...
really why ???
reminds me of a joke ... guy went into a bathroom and did his thing ...started to leave without washing his hands another guy said where I come from they taught me to wash my hands after using the bathroom ...other guy said where I come from they taught me not to piss on my hands
actually a fairly well kept bathroom has few germs ... our genitals are fairly clean comparatively....actually on cold porcelain toilets and the seats germs dye rather quickly ...now hands thats a different story...and door knobs are the worst ...do you wash after turning the door knob??? wait you touch the door knob on the way out immediately after the person coming in has touched it immediately after wiping his/her nose ...now the germs that come out of the nose are the ones that live a long time on cold surfaces ...the germs /diseases that do reside on and in the genitals only live seconds outside the body
a guy caught a std from his girl friend and he asked his doctor ..if she could have caught it while on a toilet seat ... the doctor said by all means ..if she had someone on it with her
next question we guys are suppose to wash our hands after touching our own penis right ...do you women get up and wash your hands after masturbating ???just asking
i have never been asked to wash my tongue after touching your genitals with it ..just saying | |

| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 9/5/2009 12:23:43 PM | I could care less about the toilet seat or how the toilet paper roll should go just as long as the toilet is clean and whom ever used the TP last refills it.  | |

| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 9/5/2009 5:32:17 PM | | That's one of the great advantages of being with a man in a wheelchair. We never leave the toilet seat up. | |

just get two or more toilets
Doesn't work. My ex-girlfriend of a few months back was the one to always leave the lid up. I disliked it, but it was too trivial an issue to mention, so I just closed it when I saw it. There are two johns in my place and we would use whichever was the closest I guess. She left the lid up no matter. She also left lights on, again too trivial to mention.
Get over it people, it is a toilet lid for cry-sake. If it is up and you don't like it, put it down. If it so down and you don't like it, put it up. If something that trivial in a relationship p1sses you off, the relationship is in the downwards spiral phase.
Now, if she continually backed her car into the door of my truck, I sure would say something and expect some driving skills development.  | |

| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 9/6/2009 9:32:41 PM | Cuz I dont want to have to touch the germ infested lid with my fingers to put it down. GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  | |

| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 9/7/2009 5:48:15 AM | sorry I havn't read the thread. The Toilet seat thing? I dont know about the other females posting. My bathroom is , my bathroom. years and years of unconscious conditioning. It has to do with height. Kind of like a step that is a bit higher or lower than you thought, or planned for. Disconcerting. That extra inch drop that wasnt anticipated, can be equated to dropping into a black hole, for just a second. Not expected, and it might very well be wet, all over you backside. Plus the ring is of a different material than the porcelain bowl, so there is also the temperature thing going on.
I for one, think guys should be more considerate, put this info in your little black book. | |

If the lid is so germ infested, maybe cleaning the toilet more often would resolve that. How exactly do the germ get on the lid? Does someone pee there too?
I know some guys pee with the ring down and that IS VERY gross, but the lid, c'mon now. Germs cannot transfer without a propellant. They cannot transfer in the air on their own. They ain't swimmers or flyers. They need a sneeze, a cough, a spray, a hand swipe to travel. EVEN if the room stinks like a dead skunk, you will not catch any germs from breathing that stinky air.
Please do some research if you doubt those statements. Start here... "Office workers are exposed to more germs from their phones and keyboards than toilet seats, scientists reveal." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3505414.stm
Then maybe here? "Germ phobia is a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)" http://www.depression-guide.com/phobia/germ-phobia.html | |

| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 9/7/2009 10:26:14 PM | SO Sorry Good chum.... thank you so much for being anal and pointing out my verbal mistake. I said "lid' when I meant to say "seat". However, let the record be shown that only MEN pee on the seat and never wipe it off afterward. That's what is gross. Women never do that. And yet women are the ones who have to take the time to look before we squat, and squeeze our legs together and hold it while we take some tp or a tissue to wipe up a MAN's mess. Would you think it was sanitary to touch another guy's piss?? Male or Female, the general rule is the same:
"If you sprinkle when you tinkle, Please be neat and wipe the Seat!"  | |

| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 9/7/2009 11:40:30 PM | | okay okay all of you!!! I solved this phenomenon long ago! Its really so simple that you will be smacking your forehead. If this is a problem for you, eliminate the problem. I'll tell you how I did it and my gf at the time absolutely loved it. What you do is you go to a commercial building supply and buy one of those seats that are used in public bathrooms, ya know the one that are U shaped and don't have any front on the seat. The seat can stay down all the time, the men don't have to lift the seat or put it down, the women don't have to put it down or whip up any peepee on the seat. Problem solved!! Case closed!! | |
|
| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 9/7/2009 11:48:25 PM | | I agree with Good Chum! This trivial, do you ever hear us guys complain that you don't flush and we have to look at your pee and the toilet paper in the water. No, we just whoop it out, do our binus and go on. If this toilet seat thing is that much of a problem I agree with Good Chum again, there are other issues that need to be addressed in the relationship. | |

| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 9/8/2009 4:17:30 AM |
just do like we do and remember to look first
We don't need to look first as we never use the seat up. You learned to look first because you use it both ways. We only use the seat down. It is always down in any women's public restroom we use thus the habit is well instilled over the years. | |

MEN pee on the seat and never wipe it off ... Women never do that
One should endeavor to resist using the "never" word unless one has done a lot of research.
My ex wife used to leave drops on the seat. She would partially stand up to wipe and a drop or two would hit the seat, she would mop the source studiously with a handful of paper and drop the paper in the bowl. All this time she would be facing forwards and after dropping the paper, she would reach back and close the lid and thus hide the female pee on the seat and never know she had left those golden globules there.
When I went in to use the can, I would lift the lid and if there was any of that heinously disgusting, cesspool-like, germ-seething liquid on the seat, I would take 3 seconds out of my busy day to wipe it off and drop the paper in the bowl. For 12 years of marriage and probably to this day, she is not aware of the fact she marks the can as her territory several times daily. 
So, if my ex did that, then there is an extremely high probability that some other women will have done something similar. If I wipe it off then there is also a high probability that some other men have wiped a toilet seat or two regardless of who made the mess. The "never" word is a dangerous thing to be used loosely.
One needs to decide what is important in the relationship and get over the trivial stuff. Just this old farts theory on life, love and living together.
Oh, and just to enhance my anal retentiveness CCsMom pointed out, when we were at friend's places for dinner, drinks or BBQ etc and the ex went to the can, I always made a trip there shortly after to check the seat for droplets and wipe them up so as not to distress other guests or the hosts. Anal? Me? Yup, you bet.  | |

| The Toilet seat thing!!! Posted: 9/8/2009 1:52:38 PM | yes, I realize this is an old thread no, I did not read all the posts (ones I did read were great !)
guys, did you ever get in the car after the short little woman drove it and wreck one or both of your knees on the steering wheel 'cuz the seat is tucked firmly under the dash ? ? ? Why is the toilet seat a big issue and the car seat never discussed ? ? ? never mind - it's 'cuz it's her a** that got wet and only my knees that were scarred . . .  | |
