Toilet seats.

[Buttoneer]

Does/do the men/man in your life put the toilet seat down when they're done peeing?

[some_of_us_are_sane]

1. Yes!

[Diamond_Dog]

2. Most of the time, yes.

3. Everyone should put the lid down, for sanitary reasons.

Imo, but not my idea originally

[buzzycrumbhunger]

4. Always

I raised my boy right! (Plus we have cats, so it protects them from drinking from an unsanitary bowl and spares us a gross-out.)

6. My Dh does, 99.99% of the time.

Like you, we have cats, but they like to play in the water, not drink it.

5. Yes, my husband does, and our sons did.

When my husband has friends over, many of them do not, which annoys me. Leave things the way you found them - if the seat and lid are down when you go in, pay attention.

It also creeps me out to find drops of urine left behind on the rim or the floor. I don't want to be wiping up someone else's pee, either in my own home, or in a public, gender neutral bathroom.

8. Wait a minute...

Overspray doesn't clean itself?

Some men just don't appreciate what magical lives they lead. *eyeroll*

9. Have you ever shone a blacklight in a bathroom used by men?

Horrifying.

10. ACK!

Never occurred to me... and now I'm really scared. 😬

12. When our sons were little, on one occasion they were using the toilet together before...

...taking a shower. As a nurse, I had tried to teach them proper terminology. Urinate was a bit over their linguistic abilities early on, and it got abbreviated to "nate." OK, close enough.

I overheard the younger one saying to the older one, "Let's have a nate fight." I was able to intervene in time.

A nate fight is something that would never even occur to those of us with female plumbing.

13. Ermagerd

Cured me of thinking back fondly and wishing I'd had a brother for mine. (He did get a sister but they were seven years apart and never doubled up in the bathroom.) 😄

11. Take enough vitamin B complex to make your urine bright yellow...

... and the UV light effect is quite spectacular, like fireworks in your toilet and everything around it.

7. Buttoneer, you're having a problem at home with a significant other who could potentially

leave you to fall into the toilet bowl if you're not paying attention due to the seat being up?

Anyway, glad you addressed this with post 999 and not milestone post 1,000. That shouldn't be devoted to toilet etiquette, IMO!

14. Is it too difficult for all to simply sit (?) (n/t)

[PJMcK]

15. Not just the seat

I always close the lid, too.

Some say that closing the lid before flushing is sanitary as it prevents toilet mist from infecting the bathroom. I close the lid simply to keep things from falling in the bowl.

16. When I was a young man I told my wife

"If you can put the seat down, I can put the seat up; it's called teamwork!"

I found out pretty fast she didn't think that was funny. So from then on I always put the seat down.

17. Lesson learned. Prior to marriage my Grampa gave some sage advice:

"You can either be happy or you can be right."
