I only piss in sinks and showers. It’s the gentlemanly thing to do.
The gentlemanly thing would be to keep it in your pants, like I do.
you piss in your pants?
that’s gotta get gross quickly
Because it’s so much better to just leave the piss lying about elsewhere? Just pull on your big boy panties and piss yourself. It’s fine.
ok ok shit… being responsible for my mess is the upright thing to do. time for depends.
and drawers
If this was a male-only bathroom I’d still totally agree with the content of the sign.
If you want to pee standing, use the urinal. I, as a man, don’t enjoy sitting in some other person’s pee either.
Toilet seats are fully operational by anyone, (it’s true I checked). How about instead of trying to police everyone you just put it up or down yourself and stfu?
Seeing this sign would ensure I go out of my way to leave it up.
Manchild take
I’m a gentleman and so I lowered the seat as my hosts requested. But I also took a picture because it’s funny and weirdly presumptuous.
Thats a spicy take. You know the seat being down is more than convenience, right? It’s extremely unhygienic to flush an open toilet let alone the dangers of small children falling in. I recognize a public space is less likely to have a child small enough and unattended to worry significantly about.
We live in a society and all that. Personal responsibility only works if you err on the side of caution. If there is a default setting to a toilet seat and cover it would be down and closed. Otherwise, why put one on at all.
The seat is not what closes a toilet. That’s the lid and it’s not even mentioned on the sign.
up. down makes me uncomfortable. Schrodinger’s toilet seat.
Is peeing standing up something I’m just too intersex to understand? Like even before bottom surgery it was just more easy and convenient to sit down for it
You’re not using the equipment to its full potential!
How is having to pull your pants and underwear down and sit down easier and more convenient than just unzipping your fly and peeing standing up?
I mean if you’re at a urinal that’s one thing but if you’re going into a stall you’re already wasting time might as well sit down and take a break, maybe take a smoke while you’re at it
If you feel like sitting down, that makes sense, but it’s not easier and more convenient.
This assumes that men ever lift the seat. I’d prefer it be left up so that there is at least a chance I can sit on a dry, piss-free seat. Lowering a seat is preferable to the alternative.
I’m a woman and will leave the seat up at work (not at home)
We have unisex toilets and truck drivers use them - they regularly wee all over the toilet seats if left down :(
we just leave it down at home. we talked about it one day and everyone with male excretory parts just wants to get off their feet. only time the seat lifts is for cleaning.
I’ve thought of this so many times. I’m fact, I’ve thought about a spring-loaded seat hinge that raises the seat unless there’s a person upon it. If the seat is always up, it is much less likely to be urinated upon. It takes the work completely out of the hands of the user.
if there is a lid - always down
if there is no lid - always up
it is the safest, cleanest, fairest option
As someone with common sense and a little bit of decency: complaining about being asked to leave the toilet seat down when it benefits everybody is ridiculous
Unless you like sitting on the ceramic with no seat, I guess.
You like sitting on someone’s urine?
Considering how it’s after use, there would be no urine
You lift it up to use it and set it back down afterwards
Edit: to clarify, I am male and stand to pee. I lift the toilet seat and lower it when I’m done.
My brother used to say, if i have to lift it up why shouldn’t my wife have to put it down?
I see his point but, i close the lid to flush so i don’t have to brush my teeth with a pissy shit particle covered toothbrush.
I dunno if you’d want to know (or maybe you know, already) but it only helps some with bacteria, not viruses: https://www.everydayhealth.com/health-home/should-you-flush-with-the-toilet-seat-up-or-down.
Pooping is what unites us
Peeing while seated unites us
It seems like at least half of men can’t aim anyway, so it’s better to just sit down.
Especially the ones who don’t have to clean the bathroom
Even when aim is there, splashing occurs. It really shows that some men never had to clean their own bathrooms.
Also fuck you if you piss standing up in a stall when there’s pissoirs outside.
You want privacy for your little weenie, sit your ass down and scroll on your phone like normal people do.
Pooping with the seat up unites us
Ever tried pooping while standing? All I’m saying is don’t knock it if you haven’t tried it.
While standing?
Not from a janitor
The life aquatic leads to many powers trousered society would deem unnatural
Pooping in the shower unites us
The squat toilet is for pooping what the urinal is for wee. If you have really baggy trousers and are freeballing you don’t even need to undo your belt.
This reminds me of the time I was a kid and a houseguest was using our toilet like this with the door opened and I barfed when I saw him doing a shit with his shoes on our toilet seat
Cool though
Biased how. Do the math. Half of us sit down to pee, all of us sit down to shit.
Biased meaning only men have to do any work, women never have to (if it’s left down always)
True neutral would be last used position.
It’s also easier to slam it down, than bend and lift it up.
And peeing is more frequent when there aren’t urinals.
So everytime a pissstander arrives to a raised seat, it’s a saving of efforts
But of course, this avoid the worst problem of all.
Having to remember to do one extra thing after you’re done and ready to leave
That last one is probably THE biggest asshle of the entire discussion.
*most of us sit to shit. Given a large enough population I won’t rule out the possibility.
thank you for your consideration. i shit everywhere

no but a good guess

Also, as someone with male plumbing, we can also sit down to pee. So everyone can sit to pee, and half of us can’t.
Especially with the men that complain about how hard it is to control the stream, might as well sit down.
But then they won’t get to complain about how hard it is to lift the seat
not to well actually, but once you figure out a female urinal they are kinda nice. according to my mother who spent all last week texting me every time she used one on her hiking trip
That’s a thing?
anyone can pee standing up it’s the 21st century
I’m not sure I wanna see that proliferate. My trans ass could never
My mom was So. Excited. I stopped peeing standing up when I was 25 because legs tired but like I get it when it’s your first week doin it. We told her to aim for leaves and pay attention to which way the wind was blowing because upwind is a mistake you only make once.
She’s back home from her backpacking trip, I don’t think she’s still using the urinal.
The little sleeve thingy? My wife tried to use one but didn’t try it at home first. There was no bathroom/pit toilet out there either. They tried but couldn’t do it. It took me a bit to realize but once you make the connection that literally their entire life they have never had to pee standing up it makes sense that their body is just like nope can’t do it. They ended up holding onto a tree and squatting while I kept watching for critters/moral support. It was dark out and spooky.
That night I think a raccoon sniffed around our tent which was cool.

theres also realistic ones for trans men, but I don’t wanna risk getting in trouble

Leave the seat down so when you flush you won’t inhale your poop and pee.
Cmon it’s not hard.
Edit: and lid.
You mean the lid infested of the seat?
I think just being an organism with an anus leads to higher levels of poop exposure than whatever minuscule amount of particulate matter that manages to aerosolize from an unlided flush
Also, no way, leave the seat as is, it is the responsibility of every user to adjust the seat to their current need.
Yes, but I already have all the diseases that I have. I don’t need to add all the diseases everyone else has too, or vice versa.
I always put it down.
Because women love to pick fights over the smallest things./s
I close it entirely. That way everyone has to open the lid.
Chaotic neutral spotted
This issue always baffles me.
The amazing thing about owning a penis is that I can still pee sitting down and there’s never any drama. Have to poop? Don’t even have to move! Have to fart? Go for it! Not farting in your underwear makes them smell fresher for longer, anyway.

Bro wtf? I know that was a casual one liner… but it leaves sooo many unanswered questions!
