Men should put the toilet seat down. There are many good reasons for this nice habit. After all, men do not have to half undress to use the bathroom. They do not have sit and stand back up. Taking a few extra seconds to leave the toilet seat down is not that difficult a challenge for men.

One of the reasons that men should put the toilet down is to keep women in the home from falling into the toilet. Women go to the restroom more times a day then men. Men might ask why a woman would fall into the toilet. First, we usually leave the bathroom light off so that it does not wake you in the middle of the night. Aren't we nice? So, we stumble into the bathroom and go through the whole undressing bit. We just sit on the toilet without looking because we are half asleep and not really wanting to wake up more. Then there you have it! Men leave the seat up and we fall in.

When women fall in the toilet, not only are we awake, we now need a shower before we can go back to bed. We left the light off to keep you asleep. If we fall in and scream, men are sure to wake up. If we have to turn on the light to shower, not only will the light wake you up but the running shower might too. It would be so much simpler if men would just leave the toilet seat down after they have finished doing their business.

Another reason men should put the toilet seat down is to protect pets. Pets are more likely to lean over the edge of the bare toilet and drink water or even drown then the toilet seat edge. Some pets are nervous about toilet seats. If the toilet seat is up, the toilet bowl seems to call to pets to drink and play in them.

Why do men even have to lift the toilet seat? Can't men just lean a couple inches forward and miss the seat? If you are so good at aiming and you don't have to undress to use the bathroom, why not just aim for the center of the toilet? Then men would never have to worry about remembering to put the toilet seat back down on the toilet for women.

Look, you can put the seat up. If we can lift it up after you put it down, you can put it down when we leave it up. And why do we have to lift the seat? Because - we do have good aim, but urine does not. It doesn't matter how good of a pisser you are, any guy who has ever pissed in the woods through clear sunlight can see millions of little disgusting piss droplets that get flung out of the stream, so we would pollute the rim of the seat if we didn't lift it. Secondly, turning on a light doesnt wake someone up unless they are sleeping under neath the bulb, which they arent. So stop complaining, cause when you fall into the toilet, not only is it funny as hell, but you have no one to blame but yourself.

Ladies I understand your frustration when men leave the toilet seat up! Trust me. I moved in with my GF and I always simply forgot to put the seat down, I really meant to put it back down but I always forgot! So one day I used the potty and my GF had left me a sticky note reminding me of it, whatever..., however it occurred to me that it would be cool if I had some sort of reminder that I can use to put the seat down, but also not feel like she was demanding it from me. What I did was to come up with a sticker with some funny designs and a short message to get the point across. I first tried it in a party at my house, everybody loved it and surprisingly the bathroom was kept clean the whole night. Then gave away some of my stickers to other friends and the results were outstanding. I could go on and on...zzzz but just try them yourself check them out at www.pottytrainmyman.com that is my site, you will crack up! Thanks to you all and good luck! Humor keeps us loving life.

This whole thing is absurd. I have never understood why women want the seat down, or why people close the lid at all. If you practice decent hygine and cleaning, the lid is prefunctory; just one more thing to move before use. As to the seat, why should a man put it down after peeing, since he lifts it up to keep from peeing on it! It's no big deal for a guy to lift the seat, why can't women put it down? (Oh, the middle of the night thing? If your eyes are that bad, maybe you should have at least a nightlight so that you don't break something wandering around in the dark.) And if you're training your sons to sit to pee, why not go all the way and just castrate them, that will take care of even more problems over time.

I grew up with 5 sisters, I learned to work the lid when I had a chance at using the bathroom. Or should I say IF I had the chance. What I hated was the "fuzzy top". You know, the fuzzy thing that goes on the lid. Two things about it. It makes it impossible to leave the seat up, and it takes me that much longer to realize the lid is closed when I'm peeing in the dark.

I'm a man, I've been shiting for 33 years, and never fell into the toilet. I'm sure you can do as good.

...and Jason - boy, have you been burned. You sound like every other immature guy Ive met. Why dont you grow up and stop being so hateful and chauvinist. You sound like a stupid person, thank g-d I dont know you.

I dont think that articles was anything special. I dont mind that my husband leaves the seat up, but do mind that after a day or two I see yellow stains on the underside of the seat, and on the base rim - and Im the one that gets the clorox and wipes it down. He should be the one cleaning it!

I think all the reasons you gave for putting the seat down are lies and garbage. I think the real reason is that you women are controlling bitches who like to have other people under your thumb. You like to nag us to put the seat down so that you can feel your little power trip satisfaction if we actually do what you say. I think women are crazy power-tripping control freak jerks and I hate you all for that. The solution is for none of us men to put up with your crap and just yell at you to "shut up!" if you nag us about stupid things. Then you cows eventually learn to shut up.

My mother-in-law taught all her boys to SIT when peeing. If there is no urinal present, you SIT. Period.

Beign a man I allways find this topic a bit unfair. I find that putting the lid completly down solves this problem. You won't fall in because the lid is down and you know that the lid will allways be down when you walk in so you can expect to lift it without having to check to see if it's down or not.

Very true about pets -- and I would add children, too! My one year old makes a beeline for an open toilet and reaches in to touch everything she can -- closed, though, she basically ignores it.

"Why do men even have to lift the toilet seat?" YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ! No, no no. It splashes. If they don't lift the seat, then the next person sitting on the seat will be sitting on lots of microbeads of urine. Haven't you read the statistics about how much invisible urine and fecal matter can be measured throughout any bathroom? Gentlemen, please, definitely lift the seat!

I agree wholeheartedly! :-)
