This might not be for blind, heck, i don’t even know where this topic belongs. But the question that’s been bothering me for several years is: why the eff are men supposed to leave the toilet seat down after using it? Why’s it called a great etiquette? Why can’t whatever gender uses the seat move it to how they want? TC 240K
Men are always "wrong"
Couldn’t agree more with this 🤣
This is what I think - Everyone washes their hands after using the toilet. This works for men. But for women if the lid is up then woman has to lift up the lid and wash hands(as everyone knows how the lid looks underneath if not cleaned) and use toilet and again wash hands 🤷♀️
So the seat isn’t covered in piss for the ladies to sit on.
Because toilet seats are meant to be laid out horizontally but some men doesn’t know how to aim right so men are asked to lift it up before using and put it back to how it’s originally after?
The solution is to put the seat and the lid down every time so 💩/💦 doesn't spray into the air when you flush.
This is getting too much. Equal rights and Same pay are ok but Toilet Seats !! Jeezus !
I know this is kind of a troll post but I'm going to give a serious answer. It's because most women who don't have previous experience living long-term with a man have literally probably NEVER seen a toilet with a seat up (or at least, not for many many years, they probably did when they were living with parents as a kid). As a thought experiment, ask a hypothetical 8 year old girl if she knows what a toilet seat is. Sure, she'll say, it's that U shaped thing that protects your butt from the dirty toilet when you go pee pee and poo poo. All right, you say, now ask why don't they just make toilets shaped like that in the first place? It's probably cheaper than having to attach a hinge to every single unit. If you ask a boy he'll probably eventually get the idea that it's easier to aim when the hole is bigger, keep the seat clean for pooping when you do peeing, etc. But the girl is unlikely to have any idea. So if you live decades/years of your life either alone / in a girls dorm / with female roommates, and use only women's restrooms when in public, what do you see EVERY time you come across a toilet? You see: a toilet with the seat down. So hopefully that illustrates why it's kind of jarring to suddenly be dealing with a toilet that has its seat up like 50% of the time when you go to use it. You might not be in the habit of checking the seat before sitting down in the middle of the night, etc. Suppose you start working at a company and when you go pee for some stupid reason completely irrelevant to your body, the urinals have covers on them that you have to lift before peeing. This is annoying. You try leaving the covers open but 50% of the time when you come across a urinal the cover is shut and you have to open it again. You start to get frustrated and bring it up with building management, but all they do is make a snarky post on Blind and don't change their behavior at all. That would be pretty annoying, wouldn't it? (I was going to use a more reasonable analogy with residential life but unfortunately most homes don't have urinals...)
Consider it this way, if a girl only uses a toilet. No need to lift the toilet seat at all. When a guy starts using it, toilet seat needs to be lifted. So it is because of us(boys) toilet seat problem started 🤣 this is how I was convinced lol!
As a guy, I started to pee seated, in order to keep the toilet and the surroundings clean. I saved a ton of (cleaning) time and I keep it clean. I’m ready to live with a lady.

Apparently because your female can sit down without looking and feel cold or something. I don't understand this either but just go with the flow.
It’s like saying forgetting to wipe your ace in a hurry - why would someone sit on a toilet without the lid down
It might be dark in the middle of the night. And like, maybe you really have to go... Come on man, you're an engineer. You need to think about the edge cases. That's like half your job.
