So, supposedly it is common courtesy for a man to flip the toilet seat back down after executing a number one. I believe it is for the benefit of the lady waiting to use it after me. But why does this urban myth exist?

In public restrooms, like in coffee houses, bars, and retaurants, I never put the toilet seat back down when I'm done using it. But there is a really good reason why I don't. It's because most men don't even bother to lift the damn thing up before executing a number one. A lot of times I go in there and it's just a big mess! Don't expect me to clean that up! Beacause I won't. The problem with that is, the female waiting to use the restroom after me will think it was I that destroyed the toilet seat. And that's not f*ckin fair.

So I would like to propose the idea of keeping the toilet seat up, in order to keep it clean for the women. It would then require them to flip the seat down for themselves, but at least it'll be clean and they won't have to clean after some slob.

Pretty freakin random, but I'm just curious why men have to put the toilet seat down. Answers?

In this house everyone must put both the seat AND the lid down...or my dog will be quenching his thirst from the bowl...ewwwwwww, yuck!

Do you have any idea what it's like to be a woman having to go in the middle of the night in the dark??? Not fun falling in........lol

simple i love my A$$ and i have no desire to have to fall in the toilet and hurt myself because it was left up!!!!!

I have to agree

Do I really want to flip down a nasty restroom seat?
Why don't you guys sit on the toilet to take a piss, especially if you cannot aim or just learn on how to aim that crap.

Are guys really that confused about this?

my dog gets mad if I pee in his large, white porcelain drinking bowl....

I love your a$$ too

for me leaving the toilet seat up is as rude as leaving my feminine products all over the house....who wants to see tampons, maxi-pads, douche's, and other hygiene junk all over

i stuttered again

Yeah, once was plenty for that on a Summer's Eve.

Oh my gosh! Automated seat dropper button! You should patent that. OK. Now I know it's mostly due to people falling in in the dark. Good point about the dog, too. Yeah, I put the cover down so the cats don't get in there. But I'm talking about public places. Cindarella, I understand your angst, but like I said, most men don't really care about keeping it sanitary. It would suck being a woman having to use the restroom after men. So just so you know, if you ever use the restroom after me, it wasn't me that made that mess. I'm a bit more considerate than that.

Nice try shugs, but I'm not buying what you're selling here....

Actually, it sucks using the public women's restroom after many women. Lots of women can't squat without peeing all over the place. And never clean it up.

Why is it so damn hard for a woman to put it down?

Ah ha! I've never heard that before. So it's not always the men who make the mess. That's some relief for us gentlemen.

that's what I want to know, men are just as likely to "fall in" as a woman so I don't buy that excuse.
