    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.

      At home both of those are invalid. You close the lid before you flush so you don’t spread particles everywhere (among many other benefits)

      Everyone opens the lid/seat to the desired level. Everyone does their business. Everyone closes the lid. Everyone flushes and washes their hands.

      True gender equality!

      That’s just basic math. +Sit the fuck down when pissing at home. Who is paying you to stand while taking a piss when you could sit down?

      I tend to sit down to pee most times (at home), so that ratio is even higher for us…

      I mean, it’ll be less than 3/4 if you always stand to pee, because people pee more often than they poop (of they hydrate sufficiently and there’s no health issue). But it’ll still definitely be over half, so the result is the same.
