I mean, don't get me wrong, I always put it back down, mostly for fear of losing my life...or an eye. But, why is it that we men can never win this argument. It is seriously a futile debate, their circular reasoning befuddles us and ultimately we cave in!

WHY???

Let me guess, she's probably used this excuse "it's 2 am and it's dark and I can't see..."

You have to be kind to the ladies!
Putting the lid and seat down afterwards is really only a 3 second thing... kinda like changing the toilet paper roll... DONT BE LAZY... thats just pittyfull.
You dont want them to fall into the water, because they dont look first... that would be horrible!

DAMNIT IT MEANT TO VOTE:
Because men are supposed to be gentlemen.....

When I sit down I look first and put the seat down if needed.

WHY CAN'T WOMEN DO THAT???

They're degrading themself when portraying themselves as plain stupid, as a feminist I can't accept that.

On the other hand I try to remember to put it down mostly, and sometimes I forget but it's no big deal with us, she too, leaves it up sometimes.

yeah. i deffinately appreciate it when my boyfriend puts it down but my thing is why do most women complain about it?
its not like you have to go out of your way to put it down yourself.
do your guy friends a favor and stop bitching about it.

Because we say "pretty please" and appreciate it more than you can know when you do. Believe it or not that is a topic we brag on our men about. And in between cleanings...the pot looks cleaner with the seat down! Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you who consciously work at putting the seat down!

My wife and I have four boys and three girls. We've made a compromise. Everybody puts both the seat and the lid down. That way, the girls don't fall in, and the boys don't forget to lift the seat.

Necessity is the mother of invention. Desperation is the father.

It should be passed in the Senate and made mandatory. Let's put our Senators and Congressmen to work for us. They have been doing jack, lately! We can call it "NO Woman Should Be Left With a Wet Behind!"

An obvious pun off of "No Child Left Behind" ...very clever!

It's considerate and it's good hygiene. When you flush, a little water will 'mist up'. If your toothbrushes, cups, hand towels, etc. are in close proximity, well....
Anyway, it's a good idea to put the lid down too while you're at it.

In my household we have a mens room and a ladies room--but if we only had one bathroom I would tell my boys--if you lift it,please put it down. Why can't everyone just sit?

It's their responsibility because they're the ones who lift it up in the first place. We're all responsible for our actions and a guy lifting the seat up and not putting it down is an action so yeah just get over it.

Under that logic then, if you put the seat down, shouldn't you put it back up?
