3 of the 4. Therefore the seat should be down

Though I still don't see why they have to complain. If the default position is down, that means all of us guys have to put it up, so why should women complain about having to put it down? Why do we have to do BOTH the putting up and putting down? Generally when I'm in someone else's home, I always leave it where I found it. But if women want equal treatment, then they shouldn't expect to always have the seat the way they want it. And there's absolutely NO excuse for accidentally sitting on the rim.

Nothing stops you from squatting on the throne like the rest of the queens/princesses.

I often sit while doing number one because I feel that the urine may splatter into the air when I strike bow from 2 feet up.

Man card. Now.

Pfft, lots of guys pee sitting down. There have been threads and polls about this. More guys than you think do so. I pee sitting down, I also clean my own bathroom. Why would I want thousands of piss splatters all over my bathroom when I can prevent it simply by sitting?

I usually aim for the back of the bowl above the waterline so there's absolutely no splashback. Same concept as pouring a beer with the glass titled.

LOL, I'm proud to say that I'm a pussy whipped guy, but my action comes with the daily benefits of services from the GF.

I only do it at home because I know that my bathroom is clean (often clean by me because I?m neater/tidier than my GF), but I stand like the rest of the guys when using publics bathroom because I don?t know what been on them seats before me.

lets put it this way: when you flush the toilet thousands of pee particles are sprung up into the air by the flushing of the toilet.. most people keep things like THEIR TOOTHBRUSHES in said bathroom.. their point is that when you flush with the lid up you are essentially spraying pee all over your toothbrush. They have a point and I always try to put the lid down before I flush now.

Has this been forensically proven? Dye-tel and a UV source isn't that expensive.

cause, like it has been said, i don't want to see your pee dribbles and i don't want to touch the seat that you may have sprayed on.

So, basically, you dont want to touch the seat and prefer someone else does. I see.

you got it. i don't piss all over, so you can touch your own splashes.

Honestly I've never, ever, ever worked in a place where there wasn't a mens and womens restroom.

Yea, Mythbusters tested this, and other bathroom myths. They set up dozens of toothbrushes all over the bathroom, and control toothbrushes in another room. They found after 30 days that ALL toothbrushes were contaminated with e coli, even the control brushes.

So I guess no matter where you put your toothbrush, it's gonna get contaminated.

B/C it's easier and faster to unzip, piss and shake than to squat and tinkle

Well yea, you're right. It is easier to do what you suggested. But! When I became responsible for cleaning my own bathroom, I started sitting down. I get so grossed out cleaning dried pee off the floor, it's not a problem anymore.

Your bathroom floor gets dirty regardless so what's the difference? I clean my bathroom once a week (once every two weaks if I'm lazy). The floor is usually has curlies, bits of paper, dust, lint, etc on it over the couse of a week. So what's the difference if there are a few yellow spots to clean up? Swiffer wet jet gets 'em all

Yep. We have this thing called an immune system and white blood cells for a reason.

Ah Mythbusters? Such an unorthodox bunch of chaps they are. E-coli is quite nasty but of course little matters when the tooth brush is rinsed in tap water with oxidation reduction potentials exceeding 700 millivolts due to chloramine treatment by your local municipality. Of course if you have well water...

Urine actually has very little nasties that can harm you but nonetheless anything that gets put in the mouth should be clean, right? It's the thought that counts. Of course most of the time what you don't know is quite harmless.

If you only saw behind the scenes in public eateries...

Pardon me, <insert bannable comment here> your immune system?

How can I say this without getting banned...hmm...

OK. You're worried about pee particles on your toothbrush. You have a BF, right (or have had them in the past). You mean to tell me that you haven't any contact with remnants of pee particles before entering your mouth without the use of a toothbrush? Same goes for him if you turn the tables...

The Straight Dope Does flushing the toilet cause dirty water to be spewed around the bathroom?

I clean my own bathroom weekly and find that my tiles around the toilet stinker/dirtier after visits from my brothers in-law & guys friends.

I also spray down my kitchen sinks/counter, cutting board, utensils, and dish sponge with bleach/water solution before and after cooking because they are a germ factory.
