close the lid.
now everybody has to adjust the toilet before using it.
No, close the lid because that’s how you avoid coating everything in the room with a film of urine and feces. Open toilets are disgusting.
i mean, that too. that’s the excuse i give when people demand to know why I always “fucking” close the “goddamn” lid :3
Closing the lid so the toilet pipe ghost doesn’t come out
the stinkiest ghosts.
Is that a Zelda reference?
No I made it up but yeah why not. Zelda 64 super secret. Secret wall Young Link.
Lawful evil
Lawful Good IMO
Me, an alpha male sitting down to pee and closing the lid afterwards: what are you talking about you degenerates
Lower the lid before you flush. Aerosolized poop and pee is a thing.
That’s what I do
Fuck that I pee through the lid
My partner and I have separate bathrooms. It saves bottlenecks and conflicts, and is worth it to us, even in our small house. We keep our own rooms clean, enforcing the “I am an adult” rule, you make a mess, you clean it up. Piss splash is gross to clean up. I don’t make an extra mess if I do not need to.
- Men, women, and everyone in between and between all sit at some point when using the toilet.
- It’s unsanitary to flush with the lid up.
i sit down because I’m an adult and clean my own toilet. Standing is gross.
Yeah it’s way more work to have to clean up unless you don’t mind your bathroom smelling of piss.
If you aren’t putting not just the seat but also the lid down, you’re just spraying your house with piss and shit particles.
Close the lid before flushing, you uncouth animals
And what if I want poop particles around my house huh? When was the last time you asked me
Fair point. Hey !PatFussy, do you want disgusting shit particles flying all over your house?
I do thanks. I like to keep a nice gloss of poo coating every inch of my bathroom. Is this not normal?
Normal is overrated
Can closing the lid prevent disgusting shit particles but allow the delicious shit particles?
Hmm. Okay, for a one-time payment of $8,000.00 I’ll pop over and install our patented “Discerning Shitter Filter,” guarantee to let only the tastiest of all shit particles enter your atmosphere
civet bean coffee hear we come
But wait tho, does that mean some people never flush while they’re on the toilet? Like they keep sitting there in the poo smell? Unless you’re passing deer pellets and their presence underneath doesn’t begin to haunt your soul, you need to flush while you’re sitting there and not quite done.
How much time are you spending on the toilet that it becomes a problem?
My poos are quite epic
Fair enough lol
For you maybe
Well yes but presumably your own ass is doing the job of blocking shit-spray in those scenarios
For anyone that thinks about shit plumes: Iirc last time I heard it mentioned and looked at the study, it was based on public restrooms with high pressure flushing mechanisms, not the slow flush tank dump I think most people have at home. If it sounds loud and splashy, maybe a shit plume, if it’s a sploosh swirl blub blub, prolly not a shit plume. Pouring water on shit doesn’t really aerosolize it, power washing it does.
I mean easy to check, put a sheet of film on the toilet when flushing and look at the splash pattern
‘Splattern’
My wife does this, no lie. Took me awhile to figure out why the lid was always up after she moved in.
You made a good choice
#1 step is to get a slow closing lid and seat. That will solve all arguments
it’s the middle of the night and the house is silent. You finish your business and in your sleepiness know that you have to put the seat and lid down because you don’t want all that bacteria on your toothbrush, your towel, your clothes. So you turn around grab the lid and
#SLAM
you whisper “fuck”
your baby is crying and your wife is awake. You’re not going back to sleep
i’ve never understood this tbh.
Just check it before you use it, and adjust it if needed, unless you’re hyper conscious of the particulates that tend to result from flushing, in which case fuck it, close it everytime.
close it everytime.
I belive that is what your supposed to do, and the main reason why there is a lid.
Only other potential reason I can think of is oder, but if your toilet smells that bad you ain’t flushing and cleaning it enough.
That’s what we do at my house, close all lids.
I’ve started reflexively putting the seat and lid down because otherwise my toddler will put whatever he can in the toilet.
Close the fucking toilet you heathens. All of you.
Close the lid so the cat doesn’t drink/fall in?
If it’s a problem from there, it’s not a battle of “who needs the seat in what configuration,” it’s a battle of “who deserves to touch the icky parts and who deserves the icky parts touched for them” at which point we’re through.
I used to have to tell my female friend to put the lid down when she stayed over. My cat loves drinking from the toilet so if the lids up when I open the door and I don’t catch him in time he’ll just dunk his head in it.
You should really put it down when you flush too which minimises the amount of fecal or urine particles that get into the air.
If you raise or lower the seat to how you need it, before you use the toilet, then you don’t have to worry about this issue at all.
I remember reading some years ago on reddit that leaving the lid open (flushing or not) probably contaminates the air.
So now I open the lid and the seat and when Im done I close both of them, ~no matter with who else I’m in the house.
