Lifting up the toilet seat for women

[Zereh]

If you were the one who had to sit down to pee you'd be in 100% favor of putting the toilet seat back down. I'm also pretty sure if you'd ever have "fallen in" you would understand the desire to have the seat down without question. It's quite traumatic.

You lift it to do your thing, you put it back where you found it (i.e. down) when you're done.

I'm like a ninja, i leave it in whatever state it was before i got there. Then swing out the window and scale the house onto the roof and back through the front door.

Thats not an argument, the only valid argument ive seen that makes sense is that its my moms house and i should respect her wishes. And even then me and my mom have a pretty straightforward relationship so i can say stuff to her like "Yea, but dont you see it doesnt really make sense?" without it being taken as disrespectful. What she thinks is disrespectful is me not lowering the seat, not the fact that im saying she has an illogical argument. So thats why i get into an argument about it, not because i dont want to respect her wishes, its because she thinks that its the natural thing to do to respect women, but really she isnt really thinking about it much and is just entrenched in that opinion.

Its like this old person i was talking to who said its disrespectful to wear a hat in a church. And i would ask her why and she would get really annoyed because she felt she was right, but theres no logical argument to say hats are disrespectful, so she has nothing to counter me with, so goes CUZ ITS THE WAY IT IS!!! I think its just an entrenched sort of habit that if people would stop and ask themselves why for a min, they would say "Yea, why do we think that?".

As for me being more considerate if i ever fell in the toilet, i did! And you know what i can do to remedy that, check if the seat is up or down before sitting lol

By writing all this though it all makes sense, its cuz my mom whipped her boyfriend into it, so now she has the habit in her home that whenever she has to use the toilet, the seat is down. So when sonny comes to visit and that isnt beaten into him yet, he forgets and she falls in! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I guess the argument stands if youre in a household with only women, then its courtesy to put it down, but in a multi-gendered household, i view it as female capriciousness and wanting some archaic toilet seat chivalry out of their men. hehe

For another valid reason, see this picture:

moms just training you for your future GF/wife. They will get more pissed than your mom, and when they are pissed you dont get sex. which makes you sad. so in the end, not putting the seat down will lead to a very unhappy life.

The type of girls i usually hook up with dont care if i lift the toilet seat or not hehe, was just wondering what was some of the reasoning behind it. I mean, i understand whats the reasoning behind it lol some girls dont wanna lift the fucking seat when its up but you know... toilet subject XD

Somebody trade me. None of my female friends put the seat down.

I'm a dude and I still don't want the toilet just open and gazing at me when I walk in the bathroom.

Also, I've never done it because the seat is always down, but hasn't anyone ever knocked anything off the sink and had it go in?

If I had to guess why it's become a common expectation, is it's a small way for guys to feel chivalrous.

And probably the witholding the pootang, which has stopped wars, so I'm sure it can keep toilet seats down =P

Pee in the sink, everyone wins.

If I have to pick it up, she can put it down.

The only exception to this is if I'm at a buddy's house, I'll put it down so he doesn't get in trouble for it by his wife.
