Sometimes we use the other bathroom, same deal. I never find the lid down, she never finds it up.
I feel like this is some magic that should never be talked about openly, like we agreed without speech and discussing it would break something. Lived with many women, this has never happened.
I’m just being weird, aren’t I? I love her for it in any case.
Wife is your wife peeing while standing up? 🤔
It’s a power move.
You should always close the lid before flushing. Look up the words “fecal spray” but not while eating.
In the words of David Mitchell; “Clearly it’s fine then”
You should both close the lid before flushing, since that limits the splash of droplets. Flushing with the lid up will get droplets everywhere. youtu.be/egkzyAFJ-g8
Um, close your damned bio-waste disposal, maybe?
You’re doing right by closing it, she isn’t. She should fix that disgusting habit
everyone puts both seats down
its the only fair rule
Same deal in my house. Better not to bring it up yet. You can use it to know who used the toilet last when something breaks.
I got her a bidet soon as she moved in. Much nice than the “pussy bucket”, the “tabo”.
And here as well. I decided never to mention it. It’s just how it is, don’t question the laws of science.
Pee together and let the lid function collapse
You must not have the soft close feature. I hate standing around for 20 seconds waiting for the soft close seat to drop so I can pee (learned the hard way that if you force it, it wears out in a couple years). So that would probably have killed this little ritual as soon as she had to go twice before you came along to put the seat down for her. It would annoy you sometimes too I bet, unless you stand up to shit.
Still, even though you don’t want to spoil the magic, maybe there are other ways to show affection, because (in order of importance):
Admittedly, none of this is what you asked. But it’s weird how many people try to make toilet seats a fairness thing. If the lid is kept down, everyone has to take it from closed to open and back to closed again. Isn’t that fair?
Keep the toilet, ditch the wife.
really throw her off her game. start sitting down to pee.
Cute. Do you not have other people over?
Or pee at different frequencies?
I’m confused, what about the seat?
Well, if the lid is down, then the seat is also down.
The wife presumably keeps the seat down to pee, too.
Never mention it.
EDIT: I wasn’t clear. I’m talking about the seat
Huge difference, thanks for clarifying. You have a real unicorn of thoughtfulness!
Our house was definitely NOT that thoughtful.

no problem in m household :)
btw, flushing will make droplets of what’s in the toilet bowl airborne, so i always put the lid down at the time of flushing. That’s the default state of our toilet

This. Being able to pee without necessarily setting down is great when you’re outside, or in a public toilet but I see absolutely no sense of doing that at home.

I tried getting into the habit of sitting down and found that there’s a topological problem for me. See the angle of my dongle is thus that the stream hits the bowl in such a way that some of it escapes under the brim.
This doesn’t happen all of the time, but often enough to put me off the practice. As having to mop up after every fifth time is a bit annoying and feels less hygienic as having a little splatter.

oh yeah that does sound like a hassle, just like headphones, one size/shape does indeed not fit all

I’ve been putting the lid down ever since my gf dropped her bottle of fancy lotion in the toilet.
