Put the seat and the lid down before flushing.

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 :(

Pooping is what unites us

But like, if men pee with the seat up, but both men and women poop with the seat down, then statistically the seat is already down more than half of the time. Now if we enforce a policy like this, that would mean more than half of the times someone walks in and needs the seat to be down is in luck, but the rest has to do double the "work". And if someone goes in after someone who would have otherwise left the seat up, they too do double the work, so the seat changes position 4 times instead of once. I think it's much more "just" to simply change the seat whenever you need it and sometimes you will even find it in the position you need it in.

I once jokingly mentioned to my wife that leaving the seat up is just as convenient for me as leaving it down is for her. To which she pointed out that, of the four different permutations of toilet use between us, 3/4 require the seat to be down, so all in all, it makes sense to leave the seat down.

And dammit, I had to marry a logical autistic, didn't I?

So now I always (try to remember to) leave the seat down.

Sit to pee for all. Solves all problems.

Leave the seat down so when you flush you won't inhale your poop and pee.

Cmon it's not hard.

Edit: and lid.

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".

Biased how. Do the math. Half of us sit down to pee, all of us sit down to shit.

I put the lid down, don't want toilet water splashing all over the place when you flush.

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.

Soft close toilet seats should be standard equipment.

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

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.

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.

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.

Can people do what they need to do without anybody policing them? Seat up or down who cares?

I only piss in sinks and showers. It's the gentlemanly thing to do.

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.

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.
