toilet seat ettiquette

Got into a little tiff with the wife this morning. Apparantly my 4 year old has picked up on my habit of leaving the toilet seat up after he uses it going #1. I was raised by my dad so we never really practiced this tradition, only when guests were over. She said I need to break my bad habit and teach him to close the toilet seat everytime it is used. She said, "How hard is it to close the lid when you are finished?"
To which I responded, "How hard is it to put the seat down before you use it?"
Big mistake. She really took offense to that.
So besides manners and possibly cleanliness (which isn't an issue at my house), what are the other reasons to close the lid after every time you use it? Just want to know why it's such a big deal.

Regardless, seems like manners would be good reason enough, especially when you're raising/training a child.

^^^ In addition to this
Have you ever stumbled into the bathroom, in the middle of the night, half asleep? You just kinda feel your way around the house without turning on any lights... You know where the toilet seat is...u sit there every day.... You steady yourself and bring your ass to the seat.....
and then.....
YOU FALL THE FUCK IN BECAUSE SOMEONE LEFT THE SEAT UP!!!
GOOD MORNING WET ASS :x
Just put the seat down....is it that hard?
Or how about just get better at aiming and not even put the seat up in the first place. Seriously, what are you gaining...another inch or two? Seems like a pretty big target to me, even with the seat down.
Please and thank you

i've fallen into that abyss on more than one occasion..and living with a house full of male children, its sometimes not all that pristine when you take the dip
see, we girls sometimes get too busy and wait until the last possible second..and then we rush into the bathroom, struggling not to wet ourselves before we get there...no time for looking at the toilet seat.. its just back up and sit...fast!
cuz girls, you know this .. you can hold it forever but once you actually see the toilet..its all over

Someone mentioned something about vapors is a good reason to put it down. Just imagine brushing those vapors into your teeth. :oops:

Are you fucking kidding me???
If there is a chance that by leaving the seat up.....
That Kathy is going to get up at 3am, go use the toilet, and then FALL IN THE TOILET??????
Then I am leaving the seat up!!!!!
hehehehehehe
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
Moral of the story turn on the lights and put the lid down. I've never fallen in though.

Do you live by yourself or with a significant other?

haha! if she was blind, you would move the furniture around, wouldn't you? bastard.
engaged....if she does # 1 ts left down
if i do # 1 its left up ...but i never put it down after # 1
So disturbed by this that I do now slam the lid prior to flushing AND I got a case for my toothbrush AND the toothbrush goes in a drawer.
Agree 1000% that if my wife fell into the toilet I would nearly die laughing; and then die by 'repeated kicks to the balls.'
and i grew up with 4 older sisters and my mom.. it was never an issue with them
honestly, i didn't even know people had a problem with it until i got older
Be thankful you dont need to walk into the men's room in a crowded bar, especially one with a younger crowd. Depending on the place it can range from just 'piss everywhere' to 'a sea of pee' on the floor.
I have three sons, so pee on the rim, floor, wall (ON THE WALL!?!?) has all happened. I remember when they were little, two of them going at the same time, trying not to "cross the beams" .
same with me, except I leave the refrigerator door open

Morning wood and post void dribble.
The high pressure of the urinary stream during the morning wood may cause splashing.
The residual urine associated with post void dribble may be controlled better without the shake.
Instead I will opt for a carefully directed squeeze into the porcelain bowl.
Guys should do their best to remember to put the seat down.
Gals should do theri best to check before sitting down.
It's not that hard, and it takes an effort from both sides.
Do you have habit that would annoy most women, and you could probably try and break it? Yes.
Did your wife need to create such a big deal about you pointing out that she should help out by remembering to check to see if the seat is up? No.
Again, if both parts make an effort... there should be no problem. Because honestly, how hard is to put a seat down if the male in the house forgot to do so?
My significant other constantly leaves the heat on the "on" setting, even though I have told her to put it on "auto." I give her shit when she forgets, but I have no problem adjusting it myself. It takes 2 seconds out of my life.
