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⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Always keep the lid down to minimize poop spray!

Also keeps the fecal aerosol to a minimum.

Lid down is a win for everyone.

I literally don’t give a shit about the seat up or down, but close the lid ffs. Stop spray germs all over my toothbrush.

Also, I don’t care what direction the toilet paper goes. I don’t even look at it when I put a new roll in. I’m a free spirit.

Lid down gang. Stop leaving your toilet seats up.

Just sit down to pee, losers.

"These invisible particles go on to coat and spread onto surfaces like floors and counters; or objects like hand towels, bathmats or even toothbrushes.

Toilets are scientifically proven to continue to produce contaminated toilet plumes over multiple successive flushes as indicated in the above video.

Toilet aerosols are known to contain Norovirus, SARS Coronavirus, Salmonella and many other Diseases." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toilet_plume

TLDR: always put the lid down before flushing.

Toilets are gross. Put the lid down. There is some study I read that said flushing the toilet throws lots of bacteria into the room. Shut the lid before you flush.

If you take the toilet seat up or down debate seriously I can only assume you're a tulpa conjured from the brain of a hack boomer comedian

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.

Ive always put the lid down along with the seat. I believe its more sanitary and has the added benefit of women not falling fully in the bowl like when the seats up. Ive done this for about 15 years.

A few years after I started doing this, I was spending the night at my friend's house. I had to get up early to go to work, so I was first up. My friends mother got up next apparently. I was bombarded with texts and such, her mom was angry because she got up and went to the bathroom and just went for it after she sat down. Queue giant liquid waste mess to clean and an angry start to her day.

All these years later, I still think its one of the funniest things I've ever been part of in real life.

Everybody saying keep the lid down for hygiene reason are missing the most important reason to keep the lid closed. Anything dropped or falling will inexorably end into the toilet if the lid is up.

I always close the lid when I’m not using my toilet. So do my wife and kid. It’s weird that people leave theirs open.

It is also the best option as it reduces bacterial spreading whipe flushing.

"This debate would be solved if everyone would just agree to one choice."

It drives me crazy that I, a man, always shut it, but my wife won't. Our cat was drinking from it a couple days ago and that still isn't enough to make her change.

I think it is solved by having a urinal be standard in a home bathroom. People like having a shower and a separate tub. Same.

Do your business on the floor next to the toilet, problem solved. No more flipping seats.

At home I leave it down, of I'm at a dive bar or something I leave the seat up so the next guy won't piss all over the seat. That benefits everyone.

Any couple that fights over the toilet seat (or toothpaste or whatever other stupid thing) is doomed - get out now before it gets worse.

My wife of almost 30 years can have whatever she wants and I’m happy to provide it - especially if it’s something as stupid as the toilet seat. I spoil her, she spoils me. We’re happy.

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

That's what I do. It's gross to keep it up in any orientation of up.

This is not a gender thing.
