    If you properly close a toilet seat/lid, everyone has to open it before using it, I don’t see what the big deal is

    I’m a woman and will leave the seat up at work (not at home)

    We have unisex toilets and truck drivers use them - they regularly wee all over the toilet seats if left down :(

      if there is a lid - always down

      if there is no lid - always up

      it is the safest, cleanest, fairest option

      we just leave it down at home. we talked about it one day and everyone with male excretory parts just wants to get off their feet. only time the seat lifts is for cleaning.

      I’ve thought of this so many times. I’m fact, I’ve thought about a spring-loaded seat hinge that raises the seat unless there’s a person upon it. If the seat is always up, it is much less likely to be urinated upon. It takes the work completely out of the hands of the user.

      Men that pee standing up (except urinals, or bushes) just like to make their life a tiny bit worse for no reason at all.

    If you raise it, put it back down when you’re done. If you put it down, put it back up when you’re done. That seems fair.

    Alternatively, if there’s a lid, close the lid when you’re done. Then everyone is equally “inconvenienced”.

    Very silly post. Reactionary gender war nonsense. Everyone can and does and should sit down, that’s why it’s unisex. It’s not that complicated.

    There’s better things to hitch your identity and ego to than the way your dad told you to piss.

    I never understood the whole “you left the toilet seat up” complaint. Never been an issue in my family but have heard “he never puts the seat down” all the time. Is it that much effort to put the toilet seat down when you need to go?

    Edit: Always close the toilet seat cover, not just lowering the toilet seat. This is for both men and women.

      When flushing you should absolutely close the lid. Otherwise water droplets from the toilet get flung all over the place.

    Toilet seats are fully operational by anyone, (it’s true I checked). How about instead of trying to police everyone you just put it up or down yourself and stfu?

    Seeing this sign would ensure I go out of my way to leave it up.

      Thats a spicy take. You know the seat being down is more than convenience, right? It’s extremely unhygienic to flush an open toilet let alone the dangers of small children falling in. I recognize a public space is less likely to have a child small enough and unattended to worry significantly about.

      We live in a society and all that. Personal responsibility only works if you err on the side of caution. If there is a default setting to a toilet seat and cover it would be down and closed. Otherwise, why put one on at all.

      I’m a gentleman and so I lowered the seat as my hosts requested. But I also took a picture because it’s funny and weirdly presumptuous.

    Did you know this isn’t a discussion at all in most of the world? People do whatever and no one is bothered by it. I only ever see this in American media.

    Soft close toilet seats should be standard equipment.

    Then putting the lid down is a matter of a single light push.

    If men have to put down women have to lift up. Morality is when the same logic is applied to the other side. Otherwise your being sexist and prejudice.

          So why should women put the seat up if they cant know if youre gonna shit or piss. Why dont you try that thinking before speaking thing yourself for once?

            You don’t? That’s a moronic take. We lift we drop we don’t bitch about it. Only a petty fuck would make the seat being pre-prepared for thier specifications an issue. Still haven’t used your brain eh.

              I can make it even simpler for you, because you dont seem to get basic logic.

              Case 1: Woman uses the bathroom -> the seat is down -> everyone can use it as is. Case 2: Man pisses while standing -> the seat is up -> woman needs to lower it 100%, man only when sitting down next time.

              Also thats not even the issue. A toilet seat if fucking filthy. Forcing someone else to touch it just because you are too lazy to lower it yourself after using it for yourself is as selfish as it gets.

              I dont think this will get through to you but maybe you can stop and think about it for 10s. Why make life hard fpr other people for your own benefit? Maybe thats your egotistic worldview and you see yourself as an alpha or whatever bs, but if not your take doesnt make any sense.

                Dum dum what do you think men do when we lift the toilet seat? Stop thinking about “ew I have to touch the toilet” and just stop policing ppl shitting. Fucking repedocan mindset rules for thee not for me. But you can’t imagine a world where you have to do what others do.

                  Maybe you like touching toilet seats. Some people dont and I dont see why I should force them to.

                  Also do you even read what youre writing? “Have to do what others do” equals “have to do something an other person forces me to because of their fucking lazy ass” in your mind? How entitled can you get. Please stop spreading conservative bullshit your manly man grandpa taught you.

    My brother used to say, if i have to lift it up why shouldn’t my wife have to put it down?

    I see his point but, i close the lid to flush so i don’t have to brush my teeth with a pissy shit particle covered toothbrush.

    If this was a male-only bathroom I’d still totally agree with the content of the sign.

    If you want to pee standing, use the urinal. I, as a man, don’t enjoy sitting in some other person’s pee either.
