Why can't women raise the toilet seat when they're done?
I'm tired of having to clean it, after I piss all over it!

Women are violent, man. They will beat you for anything. I certainly hope she didn't make you grovel to get back in her good graces. I HATE THAT! LOL.

3. It Belongs Down
think about it. Women always sit when they go to the bathroom.

Men stand for Number 1 and sit for Number 2. So, if a woman is using the toilet, the seat must always be down. If a man is using it, he may need the seat up or down, depending.

So, therefore, it should always be down, that way it can take care of men sometimes and women all the time. If it were up, it would take care of men sometimes, but women none of the time.

Learn to aim better and you won't have your problem.

Personally, my husband and I always lower not only the seat, but the lid too.

Saw a father's day card once "from the dog." It said: stop peeing in my drinking bowl.

9. Personally, I never #1 standing at home
IMO, it's utterly disgusting and inconsiderate to the women in the family (and visitors!).

That said we all always put the cover down lest the cats enjoy a none-too-refreshing beverage.

12. You've never been in a mens public restroom
Where even though there are urinals, the seats in the stalls are always in the up position. Lot's of guys won't use the urinal to pee.

So if a man has to pee 8-10 times a day (hey I'm getting old) but only craps once, then down is the correct position for him?

There is no "correct" position for a toilet seat. If a man is putting it down after peeing, he is doing it as a COURTESY. Try not to forget that.

40. If a toilet seat had a correct position, it would either come equipped
with a spring to lift it back up once you were done sitting on it, or a small 'tailgate lift' to slowly lower it back down after you gave it a nudge

47. So...The Percentage Of Use
Combined use between seat up and seat down, assuming there is one man and one woman in the house, each pees nine times per day and poops once.

So, the seat must be down 11 times and up 9.
That means it must be down 55% of the time. Down wins.

If there are more men than women in the house, putting it down is a courtesy, but keep in mind, in general, women clean the bathrooms more than men clean them, so, it's a trade off.

5. Excellent Question
Why does it have to be down? Why do men have to raise the lid if one chooses not to piss on the seat? This is sexism and fascism in its most naked form. Why do women hate men? Because we are courteous and have no desire to piss on toilet seats? Lift this!

10. Don't You Ever Go Poo?
You'd have to lower the seat then, right?
So, better to just leave it down.

16. Party Pooper
"Better just leave it down!!!" Sounds like a threat. Feminism run amock. However, there is no problem in my household because we have his and her bathrooms. And my seat is always up because I pee way more than I poop.

7. Bad feng shui if the lid is up.
Also if the seat is down it's less convenient for the dog to drink out of the toilet.

13. The lid is there for a reason.
Put the lid down all the time then everyone has to lower and close. However, women do not have to touch the nasty, disgusting bottom of the seat (which wouldn't be so nasty if you guys would wipe it off with some tissue when you're done.) The lid prevents things from falling in, pets from drinking and who wants to look in the toilet anyway? Geez.

18. hygiene people...put the seat AND lid down...
otherwise when you flush little teeny droplets of what you just did in the toilet end up everywhere. You know that toothbrush sitting a couple of feet away...you don't EVEN want to think about what is on it if you don't close the lid before flushing.

41. I have failed to understand...
why this is such a bone of contention with women. Most toilet seats are easily adjustable between the up and down positions.

46. We don't want to touch the nasty underside of the seat.
Ya'll don't wipe off the rim after peeing so the seat underside gets gross. We have to touch it and get our hands nasty before getting down to business.

43. Very simply...
whoever last uses the facilities leaves the seat in the most convenient position for him or her.

Everyone will eventually have to raise or drop the seat at some time, so it all evens out.

If I drop the seat every time, she wins since she never has to do anything.

If we both drop the lid, we both have to lift something, so it still evens out.

44. Try this logic
Women always use the seat in the down position, men use it in both down and up positions, so since both sexes use it in the down position (at some point) then the down position is where it should stay. In my house I make everyone put the lid down everytime they use it as well.
