Toilet Seat...

    I know I am no man, but I want to ask all the "brothers" a question!

    Why do men leave the toilet seat up? Is it too much effort to put it back down after urinating or is it to annoy your other half.

    I ask this because my boyfriend always seems to do it...

    Its politeness, so that the next man who has to pee won't have to go to the bother of lifting it.

    I'd go along with those sentiments.

    I share an apartment with a girl. We have it sorted out. I leave the seat down for her, but then she can't complain if I piss on the seat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,818 ✭✭✭✭The Hill Billy


    Brothers - Leave the toilet seat down. Keeps the missus happy & is in the correct position for when you need to "drop the kids off at the pool".

    Instead - Piss in the sink. Run cold tap for 5 seconds to "flush".

    You're happy, she's happy & you're saving the environment too.

    Great idea! Its only a matter of time before Al Gore makes a movie telling us the environmental benifits of pissing in the sink. They can call it 'Al Gore: pissing in the sink'

    That'll go nicely with the film being sponsered by the Bush administration

    No she should leave the seat up for you. And if she doesn't you piss in her mouth. Now that'd learn her.:D

    I leave the seat down but over the years have improved my aim thus only hit the seat every second time

    I just piss on the toliet seat, but sometimes I miss.........

    I can't believe you guys haven't discovered the delights of the " sitting piss". One of the few delights of the fat middle aged man.....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 384 ✭✭Leeby


    I live with two lads, they don't leave the seat up, they just piss on it. I'd much rather have to put the toilet seat back down than having to wipe piss off it!


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,125 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    Hence why you should leave the toilet seat up. Us men are far too busy and important to waste time with the likes of a toilet seat.

    Actually that is a good idea, I'll just put the toilet seat up after I piss from now on so noone will piss on the seat. Its so simple!!!

    That's one converted Brothers, only 2,999,999,999 to go.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,125 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    No zaph, converting them one by one is impossible. It would take too much time away from our drinking. What we need to do is convert them in mass groups. Now what is the one think all women follow no matter how stupid or ludicrous it may be. That's right brothers fashion. All we have to do is get a video of some "celebrity" lifting up the toilet seat when they're done and leak (no pun intended) it on the internet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,393 ✭✭✭✭Vegeta


    sitting piss all the way(only at home or a clean toilet, public toilets make baby jesus cry), I find it empties the bladder more effectively also allowing more tasty beverage to be consumed

    standing piss is for suckers. I'd put me back out if I tried a standing piss :p

    This is no man lads, get him out! He is not taking advantage of our most precious ability that makes the world our urinal.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,125 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    Yeah try taking a sitting piss at four in the morning when you're loaded up on sambuca's down some dirty back alley or on some poor old age pensioners front door step.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,110 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    Who hasn't?
    And don't spare the old age pensioner either.


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,352 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Brother Vegeta, please note that wimmins-like behaviour could get you banned from this forum, and if sitting to take a leak isn't wimmins-like behaviour I don't know what is. In order to maintain your standing here I suggest an immediate retraction. Failure to do so will lead the Brethren to come to the only possibly conclusion, that you are in fact a Sister rather than a Brother. If that's the case, fetch me a beer from the fridge like a good girl.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,634 ✭✭✭Kolodny


    Ok, I am fully prepared for an earbashing from my fellow 'sisters' for saying this, but I have never understood why leaving the toilet seat up in such a big deal. I live with 2 guys who leave the seat up. I have to put it down when I use the loo - they have to lift it up when they use the loo. It's a fair deal surely? The only time it annoys me is if I get home really drunk and forget to check if the seat is down and find myself wedged into the toilet bowl. Although to be honest, that's quite funny sometimes.

    Yes, I'm having fun picturing it.

    The official ruling on a sitting piss is that it's only allowed when you're going to the can in darkness and don't want to turn on lights. You're "flying on the instruments" as it were.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,110 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    Even then, unacceptable. Even if you miss the toilet. You must be a man.

    Or if you are drinking a beer and eating at the same time.

    Or if you're too drunk to stand. However, this can be a risky move becaus it often leads to falling asleep.

    That's the point. It's safer to leave it up. You can't trust most of us dirty feckers not to piss on the seat.

    Did you by any chance share a prison cell with some enormous dude who asked you to go to the toilet like a girl for his amusement?

    I've been there:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    I dont mind which way the seat is, as long as there's no piss on it. It's a lot more hassle wiping the seat or if I were in a hurry to pee, from the backs of my thighs :mad: ,than to put the seat down

    Edit: the pee on the backs of my thighs when i'm in a hurry to pee is not usually mine, but the dribbly man pee on the seat.

    I must say - I never got this sentiment. YOu've to sit on the seat, and surly you don't enjoy sitting on piss, so why don't you lift the seat after you. You've far more to loose than the man.:confused: I never drop the seat, not out of spite I hasten to add, but I just never ever think of it. If I taught of it, I would do...:o

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    A few observations if I may! There are more advantages to leaving the seat up than leaving it down. This is due to our higher beer consumption than wimmin and once we break the seal we more or less have to make a visit with each refill the wimmin bring us, thus meaning we go a hell of a lot more often. As such and not to enduce some awful back problems from bending down each time it is better to leave it up. You might say that the wimmin could suffer from back pronlems having to put it up when they finish... well fear not, they will be standing up from a sitting position anyway, or so I hope, so this is not a problem. Also, as the night progress's our visual capabilities usually diminish which can lead us to not being able to make out if the seat is up or down. This can result in pee being sprayed all over the seat and this is not pleasant to sit in, so you are saving yourself from this problem by leaving it up! I once in my drunken state mid-pee realised that the seat was down and decided to lift it... it was not a pretty sight!! And finally, for those so called men who like to sit and pee :eek: WTF is that all about. Evolution has lead to man being able to stand and pee at the same time and you decide to go against 1000's of years of male progression by sitting and peeing... tut tut, *bows head in shame* plus sitting and peeing also has the awful side effect of enducing sleepness!


  • Subscribers Posts: 32,859 ✭✭✭✭5starpool


    Peeing while sitting is perfectly acceptable only if you are dropping the kids off at the pool, or unsure whether there may be some of them asking for a swim.

    Another problem with our visual capabilities being diminished is that we may be pissing on the floor, sink, bathtub, your bedside cabinet. But that is a discussion for another day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,393 ✭✭✭✭Vegeta


    I hang my head in shame

    Surely this forum is about laziness and ways in which to be lazy.

    I think sitting and pissing is even lazier than standing. You are sitting which is easier than standing and you don't even have to aim.

    Again I may be wrong but I think sitting is in fact an evolutionary step in the right direction


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 706 ✭✭✭the boss of me


    I'm all for the sitting piss, sure, standing and pissing is multi-tasking and that's not a road any self respecting brother wants to go down !!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,967 ✭✭✭✭Zulu


    ...so is **** and browsing the internet. (just saying is all)
