TLDR: always put the lid down before flushing.

Just sit down to pee, losers.

I e been doing it since I was 8. "Courtesy,"Google it.

Next best thing is to leave the seat as it was when you used it. This way the next person needs to change it only if they need it.

Having said that, in my household we close lid altogether, but sometimes female guests leave the lid up, with the seat down 🙄

I never understood the debate. Ensure it's how you need it before doing your thing. Applies equally to all individuals for any scenario. Not difficult.

Lid down gang. Stop leaving your toilet seats up.

The whole debate could be solved by lengthening toilets and everyone sitting. No more seat to lift.

Also keeps the fecal aerosol to a minimum.

Lid down is a win for everyone.

Flushing with the lid up is gross. I do not want to have poo particles flying around and landing on my toothbrush. But maybe that is just me... ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
