Once I learned about the shit vortex (technically called toilet plumes) there was no way I wasn't going to close the lid.
Everyone closes the lid completely when they're done. Problem solved. Equality established. World peace flourishes.
Toilet has lid for a reason, to cover it when not in use. I am constantly flabbergasted that more people don't get that. Do they leave the mayo lidless in the fridge too because it makes it easier to make a sandwich??
I always have wanted to know: Who the hell doesn't look at the seat before sitting down? Or is the "i might fall in" response also just a joke? 🤔
Children. Children don't look. When I was very young I got stuck in a toilet in the middle of the night because my mom's boyfriend left the seat up. No one heard my cries for help. I was stuck for a while.
Habit and expectation can be powerful things. Also, our brains often fills in what we expect to see. A quick, peripheral glance at the toilet while expecting to see it in one state (seat down, lid up, for example) could leave one thinking they did see it in that state when in fact they didn't get a proper look at it.
I did it one time when I woke up at 3am to pee. Had to keep the light off to not wake the Mrs.
It wasn't fun. But it wasn't life ending. I got a nightlight for the bathroom after that.
When you wake up having to pee in the middle of the night and don't want to turn the light on
Also in general, as someone with a vulva, my mental model of a toilet is that the seat only is up for cleaning.
A blind person?
They might look at the seat.
(But they wouldn't know)
People that are used to living alone or with other women. Established habit and all that jazz.
I mean… you should put the lid (not just the seat) down before you flush every time regardless to reduce the airborne particles.
Out of interesst: Do you then reopen the lid to check for shitstains left in the bowl, that would need cleaning before you leave?
This is exactly why someone needs to invent a completely clear glass toilet.
That exists.
Add that with these lights and you'll never wonder how your shit looks again.
It never occurred to me until now that a toilet tank is a great place for fun stickers.
When I was younger, my parents got a small pop-up pool. It wasn't long before the "NO DIVING - SHALLOW WATER" sticker that came with it ended up on the toilet.
Yikes
Or that camera screen setup that newer fridges use to see the inside.
I do, personally, because that's like basic manners.
yes
Depends on how the movement went, and the sound of the flush.
The number of people breathing their own aerosolized toilet water is too dam high!
Unless you're hermetically sealing your toilet lid with aftermarket parts, this number includes you.
it is greatly reduced, though.
Ah but they're using the old why get vaccinated if you can still get the virus logic. The only logical response is to pound down some lettuce and blast those particles right back at that toilet scum. Ass testosterone checks pronto
Close the lid to flush. Lift to vent the ass. Fart fan ain't helping what it can't reach, Greg
I will ensure I lift the seat before I go, you ensure you lower the seat before you go.
We can both be responsible!
Yeah whenever you flush paricles fly everywhere with ot up so if you have uncovered toothbrushes they get a peppering of poo.
yummy.
When youre at home with a clean toilet, treat yourself and sit to pee
As a dude that has 2 sons that just piss everywhere, I've always told them to just pee sitting down. There's no shame in it fellas.
