Sitting down in the middle of the night on a sticky, narrow toilet bowl rim is an experience no one should have to endure. So make the effort to train the men in your house to leave that seat down!

on 7/13/2008 I believe that a person should be smart enough to look at what they are going to sit on before doing so. But, My mother demanded that I put the seat up before urination. Next she told me that putting the seat down when I finished was an act of courtesy to women just as holding the door or tipping your hat.
Then Came The Women’s Liberation Movement!
That’s where “they said” they wanted “equal treatment” (A Two Way Street?).
“NO DOUBLE STANARDS FOR ME”.
It’s much easier for me not to touch the seat at all,
I’ll do that if they want!
I can hit the water with most of it.

on 5/7/2008 Caution: Withholding sex for leaving the toilet seat up may cause said man to leave you.
Warning: If you refer to "training" your man he may not appreciate you "training" him like he's a dog.
Fact: This method of behaviour is not efficient (see www.msu.edu/~choijay/etiquette.pdf

)
Tip: Perhaps some female scientists/mathematicians should do a writeup asserting why the seat should be put down (i.e. even if the seat is made to be put down why should we?)
This idea is not logical. If we always used things as "they are made to be" we would have never made advances such as the development of computers.
In short, the argument to put the seat down is not a strong one.

on 3/19/2008 What the hell is with this issue? I'm a man and I always put the toilet seat down (lid and all) because it seems more hygenic to me, plain and simple. Why can't women lower it when they go and men raise it when they go? It's an equal effort for BOTH parties that way. Get over yourselves and realise it's not worth fighting over. Now, if one of you tears the toilet seat off, THEN you can fight.
