If that were to happen, you could always NOT wash the backs of your legs, then deliberately rub them up against your honey from under the covers. Ah, the joys of petty vengeance.
I wonder which has caused more divorces: leaving the seat up, or not putting the cap back on the toothpaste?
This cartoon might be considered to be “R-rated”, but I personally think it’s only “PG”. Anyway, you have been warned. http://members.tripod.com/~oz2u/SitDown.gif
what about men who sit down to pee… is that taken into account? I’m not one of them, but We had a debate about this in the pub one evening in college.

Because Fido ate the Hand Grenade for me,
When the Tans came round to search the house at tea,
I said, “Take this, dog, and eat”,
He thought it was a can of meat,
It was the hand grenade that Fido ate for me.
Everyone knows that men who sit down to pee are all closet transsexuals. (KIDDING! Kidding!)
Put in another vote for put both seats down.
We actually had that happen early on in our marriage. Our cat was used to the cover being down, and landed in the toilet.

Alright, I’ll admit to this… sigh
I’m a sit down guy (not in public restrooms, only in the quiet of my own home). This is a result of a addition a few years ago to the old anatomy that makes sitting down far more convenient than splatterings all over the pant leg. (read: piercing which isn’t exactly water-tight around the jewelry).
Anyway, I say put it back down guys…
1.) It looks neater.
2.) It is just simple courtesy.
3.) Hides the yellow-stains and short hair collection from female-types.
The Sleeper has AWAKEN!
I sat down to pee for several years back when our daughters were going through their potty-training period. We didn’t want them to be thinking in terms of alternate poses…
You know, lately I’ve had to sit down to pee myself.
You see, my doctor told me not to lift anything heavy…
Ba-dum-DUM! 
joking…joking…
My wife and have solved this problem we have separate bathrooms (Water Closets as she calls them). Works for me.
I don’t understand at all why this is an issue. Everyone should put down both lids regardless of gender because of sanitation! No ifs, ands, or butts (pun intended).
If you flush with the lid up you are spewing forth nasty bits of discarded wastes into the air. They land all over the bathroom, including on the sink, the toothpaste, the toothbrushes, the scrubbies, the washcloths, and anything else in the room.
Failure to put both lids down is equivalent to not washing your hands after using the toilet.
So, stop arguing and put down those lids!!!
From a Mom 
what’s the sigh for? I sit to pee too, makes the clean-up easier. I don’t do it in public bathrooms because there are urinals and that’s what they are made for, the toilet is made to sit on so I do.
As to the question of why can’t we control it? For me I sometimes get hairs in the way and it will when it first starts make two streams. I’m sure this happens to women too but if you don’t see it then how would you know?
By ** smilingjaws ** method, surely * all * of the germs go on the lid and seat? This would appear even more unsanitary given you have to touch them to lift them up every time.
The best statement I’ve heard on this one was “A toilet’s in its natural state with its seat down”.
(Incredulity).
Sorry, I didn’t realise toilets occurred in nature.
…And at 7 o’clock on BBC,1 Holiday sees Shanka Gua visit the vast toilet fields of Iceland:“I watched amazed as the male toilet aggressively lifted its lid towards the females in a brazen display of his masculinity.”
I don’t understand this…and I’m a woman. Discounting power failures, the number of times I’ve used the bathroom without bothering to turn on the lights is exactly zero. Why would you pee in the dark? 30 seconds of the light bothering your eyes is far better than risking falling into the toliet or not properly washing your hands because you can’t find the soap or what have you in the dark.
I always have to reposition the seat after hubby uses the toilet. And he always has to reposition it after I use it. It is a non-issue. This has an annoyance factor of “0”.
Now, if you want to discuss annoying things, let’s talk about how my husband puts the cap back on the pop SO TIGHT THAT I CAN’T OPEN IT MYSELF. Why is it necessary to behave like a machine when you can simply put the cap on like a human being?
Two years and nine months.
I’m not sure that this was left down long enough.
Another vote here for the sanitary and aesthetically unoffensive method of closing the toilet completely. It’s just gross to leave it open, spewing icky stuff all over the toothbrushes! Also you can’t accidentally drop your hairbrush in if it’s closed.
Why would your daughters be watching you pee?

How did this start in GD in the first place? At any rate, it should have stayed down.
