    If you raise it, put it back down when you’re done. If you put it down, put it back up when you’re done. That seems fair.

    Alternatively, if there’s a lid, close the lid when you’re done. Then everyone is equally “inconvenienced”.

      I always close the lid so things don’t fall in

    I put the lid down, don’t want toilet water splashing all over the place when you flush.

      I put the lid down, too. But only so that cat doesn’t drink from it.

      I put the lid up, so I don’t have to raise the lid next time I’m there to piss, which is what I do the most often there.

    But like, if men pee with the seat up, but both men and women poop with the seat down, then statistically the seat is already down more than half of the time. Now if we enforce a policy like this, that would mean more than half of the times someone walks in and needs the seat to be down is in luck, but the rest has to do double the “work”. And if someone goes in after someone who would have otherwise left the seat up, they too do double the work, so the seat changes position 4 times instead of once. I think it’s much more “just” to simply change the seat whenever you need it and sometimes you will even find it in the position you need it.

      Why do you presume everyone poops with the seat down?

    • icelimit@lemmy.ml ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I poo standing up. You can’t force me.

      Yeah it’s a silly sign and they should relax.

    People of the penile persuasion can sit while peeing. It is very easy to do.

      It comes with the risk of contamination or infection if you’re well endowed.

        Yes, even with morning wood. Just lean a bit forward. It’s not that hard.

      Just cause it’s easy doesn’t mean you should.

      Also, it’s not easier than standing.

        do you like, have severe knee pain or something? that’s the only way i can see it being more difficult to sit down.

        I find sitting easier than standing. It requires less attention (atleast if you have standards of the waste actually being in the pot).

    • sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Why though.

        • Cleaner for your penis: sitting down eliminates the last drops remaining that are common when standing up
        • Cleaner for the bathroom: zero risk foreskin messing up your aim and having pee hit areas that don’t get washed by the flush
        • Better urine elimination for men that have prostate issues or lower urinary tract symptoms. I don’t, but it’s a factor
        • More chill to sit down and check your phone while in the bathroom

    If you have to sit and you have to go immediately you appreciate those that were considerate enough to engage in this simple act of decency.

    • interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I’m the only one that uses my own toilet, this makes no difference when having to sit.
      It would be super annoying to raise and lower the sit every single time that I piss…

      source
      • QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

        if you are the only person that uses it then it is not unisex.

  • psx_crab@lemmy.zip ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Leave the seat down so when you flush you won’t inhale your poop and pee.

    Cmon it’s not hard.

    source
    • AppleTea@lemmy.zip ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      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

        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.

        Also, no way, leave the seat as is, it is the responsibility of every user to adjust the seat to their current need.

        It seems like at least half of men can’t aim anyway, so it’s better to just sit down.

    I wonder if signs like these are effective. Unless you are monitoring and handing out fines as guests leave, they are gonna just do whatever is their habit.

      I listened to it, even though I found it funny.
