    Ladies, this is something that baffles me. And with this one, I want your honest opinions. . . .

    Why do woman HATE when a dude (be it your brother/father/partner/male friend) leaves the toilet seat up??

    Whats the big deal??

    I'm a girl, and I have to be honest and say it doesnt bother me whatsoever. At the end of the day, you never hear the guys moaning about putting the toilet seat UP after us now do ya??

    So here I am. . defending the Boys. . . so be honest with me ladies. . .

    My mother hates it when people leave the toilet seat down....she is thinks it is just asking for the seat to be peed on.

    Irish men are filthy toilet pigs......central europeans ftw tbh!

    There are two parts to the toliet sets, the seat part which is a ring and the lid.
    The lid is ment to be closed before it's flushed its that simple.

    Coz when they leave it down they pee all over it, as oone male does in my house, then walks away and leaves it for someone else to clean


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,756 ✭✭✭Jules


    I don't care weather its up or down, i just care that they clean it after them, if they miss!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,749 ✭✭✭CCCP^


    I thought the point was to piss all over it when it's down?

    Jaysus, that's awful. Have you tried threathening him with violence..? Heaven's knows I would, common decency ffs.
    I agree with Thaedydal, put both lids down when you're done. It aint that hard.
    But if you are going to be stubborn and not put down anything, or just one, at least make sure to wipe before you leave.
    Clean as you go and the like.

    Tried everything, in a house full of girls and one guy that dosent clean up its rather irritating. I might just put in some cherrios and tell him to aim for them, maybe he wont miss

    Being 8 and a half months pregnant at the moment makes this a little different for me.

    When I get up first things and I REALLY need to pee its difficult if the seat is up (bending over to perform this simple task could mean a mess on the bathroom floor!) hence why I have asked the male population of our house to try and remember to leave it down when finished.

    I'd be the same if the lid was left down.

    In my non heavily pregnant state tho I really couldn't give a rats, once its cleaned should there be any messes then I'm happy.

    Once used the toilet after my sister and the ring was covered in pee. I don't know how she managed it. Don't want to either

    Because if the seat and lid are up, it means the previous user didnt close them while flushing. This is incredibly unhygenic as during the flushing process tiny spores of the excretions mixed with loo water land all over the bathroom.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 521 ✭✭✭RuailleBuaille


    You have to touch the toilet seat! Jesus! :eek:

    Good manners basically. No big deal to pop down the lid.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Would the Ladies consider leaving the Toilet seat up when they're done?. Perhaps after the Flushing has been completed even?.

    Seat. Is this not the point?. Why does the seat have to be left down?.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    A box of matches is a cheap handy air freshener to have around the bathroom / toilet to :D

    You were quoting Wibbs who was talking about the lid.

    Well if you figure out a way to leave the Toilet Seat up but the lid down do let us know.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,522 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    Turn it upside down.

    When the seat is up everyone can see the underside, which is often more difficult to clean/forgotten during cleaning.

    I have your solution puddleduck - make it widely known in your house that apparently men with small penises have trouble with accuracy wheras men with big schlongs never seem to spray the seat. Regardless of how much he protests that that is bollocks be adamant that you believe it to be true. :D

    yep, or kick him in the balls next time. what an arsehole.

    as a bloke tho, i have to say that the toilets in work are gross, with guys not flushing and filling the thing with toilet roll. why?!
    any public toilet has piss all over the seat.
    i dont see why blokes are unable to wipe up if they do that.

    I presume you all wash your hands after a spray and thump then?? teeheehee:D:D:D


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


    I notice how Women always complain about the state of a toilet after a man has used it. I have come across a lot of terrible Ladies toilets in my time. Piss on the seats, used toilet roll all over the floor, scud all over the bowl and tampons and pads not disposed of properly. Who are these people? :eek:

    Same where I work sometimes. You just know that they'd never leave the toilet in that state at home. Or maybe they would, I certainly don't want to find out.

    A thump? :confused:

    I went into the gents in work the other day and I have to say it smelled like something had died in there. Then out of one of the cubicles comes a French guy who's working with us for a while and off he saunters out of the toilets without washing his hands. Dirty b*st*rd.

    Anyone know how to deal with a grown man (24) who frequently doesn't flush the toilet?

    His mantra is if it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down!
    It's so gross.....anyone there have any advice, the constant nagging just doesn't seem to cut it ;)

    buy him a potty, the ones kids use for training, get him to fill it with sprays & thumps and then put his dinner plate beside it or on it. that might help. ;)

    People build up a resistance to act of violence anyway.
    Much better to sow a seed of doubtful fear.....clean it up with his toothbrush for a few months and then arrange for him to catch you out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 55 ✭✭Sam Spade


    ladies, think about it, if you leave the seat up then the guys can't spray it and it's all nice and clean for you.

    Clearly of the green persuasion. Conservation of water and all that. The phrase IIRC came from california. Probably knit his own sandals from muesli...... Never and I mean NEVER trust a hippie....:D

    :D muhahahha. Then again I don't get the guy spraying thing. I mean I'm one and my "ahem" doesn't fly out the sides, so how hard can it be? Aim and fire, like willy Xbox. The joystick is more fun too. Sheeeet if you can play Gran tourismo with a normal compliment of thumbs surely missing the jax seat is not much of a stretch.:D
