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

    Cmon it’s not hard.

    Edit: and lid.

      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

    If men have to put down women have to lift up. Morality is when the same logic is applied to the other side. Otherwise your being sexist and prejudice.

            You don’t? That’s a moronic take. We lift we drop we don’t bitch about it. Only a petty fuck would make the seat being pre-prepared for thier specifications an issue. Still haven’t used your brain eh.

              I can make it even simpler for you, because you dont seem to get basic logic.

              Case 1: Woman uses the bathroom -> the seat is down -> everyone can use it as is. Case 2: Man pisses while standing -> the seat is up -> woman needs to lower it 100%, man only when sitting down next time.

              Also thats not even the issue. A toilet seat if fucking filthy. Forcing someone else to touch it just because you are too lazy to lower it yourself after using it for yourself is as selfish as it gets.

              I dont think this will get through to you but maybe you can stop and think about it for 10s. Why make life hard fpr other people for your own benefit? Maybe thats your egotistic worldview and you see yourself as an alpha or whatever bs, but if not your take doesnt make any sense.

                  Also do you even read what youre writing? “Have to do what others do” equals “have to do something an other person forces me to because of their fucking lazy ass” in your mind? How entitled can you get. Please stop spreading conservative bullshit your manly man grandpa taught you.

            No, I’m talking about where the urine hits the toilet. If it hits a part that doesn’t get washed by the flush, the urine dries out there and smells.

          Even when sitting down we have to aim the nozzle manually, so it’s just sitting down for a moment then getting up, which normally is more work than standing there for a moment.

          And (at least for me), it is more comfortable peeing standing up (albeit that might be because of a lifetime of doing it like that).

          Another compromise is to pee in the shower. or better yet, on there indoor plants, this way we don’t need to water them.

          Just the need of undoing your pants/belt already makes it easier to stand up.

          And some seats have that front opening, which helps, otherwise there’s often not much room to pee sitting down.

          Then there’s also some people who prefer to cover the seat with toilet paper before sitting down.

          It’s easier to stand up.

            Magic trick: With a skirt/kilt you don’t need to undo the belt!

            Also isn’t the intersection of needing to undo ones belt and needing the front opening rather small?

          Analyze the form factor of toilet. Is it one of those round ones that’s sized for potty-training a child? Emergencies only. The bowl deep enough and water low enough? Push dick down with one hand, hope Poseidon doesn’t kiss your willy. Stand up far to wipe, don’t sit down too fast. Try not to piss under the seat.

          Prefer to avoid public restrooms for shits, stand up to pee.

              The seat is the problem not the water. You have to make a choice with some variety of toilets, touch the seat or get splashed. Obviously try to stay far enough away from both, but the point is, standing up is far easier than playing this game.

                My mom was So. Excited. I stopped peeing standing up when I was 25 because legs tired but like I get it when it’s your first week doin it. We told her to aim for leaves and pay attention to which way the wind was blowing because upwind is a mistake you only make once.

                She’s back home from her backpacking trip, I don’t think she’s still using the urinal.

          The little sleeve thingy? My wife tried to use one but didn’t try it at home first. There was no bathroom/pit toilet out there either. They tried but couldn’t do it. It took me a bit to realize but once you make the connection that literally their entire life they have never had to pee standing up it makes sense that their body is just like nope can’t do it. They ended up holding onto a tree and squatting while I kept watching for critters/moral support. It was dark out and spooky.

          That night I think a raccoon sniffed around our tent which was cool.

        It’s also easier to slam it down, than bend and lift it up.
        And peeing is more frequent when there aren’t urinals.
        So everytime a pissstander arrives to a raised seat, it’s a saving of efforts
        But of course, this avoid the worst problem of all.
        Having to remember to do one extra thing after you’re done and ready to leave
        That last one is probably THE biggest asshle of the entire discussion.

        Considering how it’s after use, there would be no urine

        You lift it up to use it and set it back down afterwards

        Edit: to clarify, I am male and stand to pee. I lift the toilet seat and lower it when I’m done.

    The amazing thing about owning a penis is that I can still pee sitting down and there’s never any drama. Have to poop? Don’t even have to move! Have to fart? Go for it! Not farting in your underwear makes them smell fresher for longer, anyway.

    I see his point but, i close the lid to flush so i don’t have to brush my teeth with a pissy shit particle covered toothbrush.
