I didn't read through the whole post, so maybe somebody already brought this up, but it could be they get mad based on that once a month time when they have to book it into the bathroom, and surf the crimson tide... I mean guys, do you really want your girlfriend to fall in during that time, when her emotions are on the edge 24/7? (waits for the guys to stop snickering at that image)

Just my thoughts on the matter... honestly, I may just risk it and not put the seat down anymore... they have arms, it's not like it's that far to reach down there...

Seat up = all that nasty ****** that ends up underneath when it's down. No one wants to see that coming into your bathroom *puke* Oh, and clean that up too, while you're at it.

I pee in the sink or shower, so I don't have to worry about the toilet seat. Sometimes I keep a cup made from a coconut in the bathroom that I just pee in and dump it out after it fills. It's very handy. The Qualzan tribe in the Amazon use this method.

I just put both down - the seat and the lid.
I guess it could be kinda nasty seeing the bowl with some piss and occasionaly a pube on there when the seat is up.

do you guys not have lids on your toilets?

toilets wouldn't have lids if they weren't meant to be closed.

at my house.. you'll find the lid down when you go into the bathroom.. I'd appreciate it if it was also down when you leave.

there is no gender-inequality in this arrangement, the bathroom looks better with the lid down, and my cats stay dry.

Amen. Seat and lid goes down after I use it. This way everyone has to raise something when they use it. I have never gotten bitched at for leaving the seat/lid down, and I never bitch at others for leaving the seat/lid down. Problem solved.

heres what i dont understand, most toilets have a seat and a lid, most people put them both down when they do as it looks better and all that

now women bitch when they have to put the seat down, but not when they have to lift the lid up, now, it is actually easier to put the seat down because you have the help of gravity, you hardly have to move it before it slams down into place, lifting the lid up takes much more energy

I just sit down to pee if I have to go during the night, that way I don't have to turn any lights on.

Oh, and putting back down when you're done. Oooh, that's sooo difficult...:roll:

Edit-I usually leave both lids down all the time. Open them up when I need to go and close them when I'm done. Really, it's about as difficult as washing your hands after. I suppose none of you could be bothered to do that though either huh?

Now for the real explanation:

As a guy, the first thing I do when entering the bathroom is turn on the light, without even thinking about it. Not just if I'm going to pee, but because if I'm going to be taking a dump I'm paranoid about what bugs might be crawling around in the dark. I suspect most other guys turn the lights on when entering the bathroom also. Women generally don't do this, I've seen several head to the toilet without flipping the light switch. Therefore, they don't see the seat position until they sit down. Yet they'll insist on lights being on when watching TV or in front of the computer, where the lights make it more difficult to see the screen. I'll never understand it.

The fact that it's not difficult for either party means that it's not something that you BITCH about on either side.

I could bitch at my girlfriend for not sweeping up my floor whenever she brushes her hair, but I don't. Or her leaving hair in my shower, but I don't.

It's stupid to bitch about some things.

My theory, and I've heard this complaint so I know its true. They forget to look sometimes and sit down with the seat up. Ewwwwwww
So they blame us for it instead of looking stupid.

Keep that in mind anytime a woman is trying to blame a man for something.
