At the risk of becoming known for bathroom polls, I felt like this follow-up question to my last thread deserved a thread of its own. So here we go: if you’re peeing in a toilet, do you bother lifting the seat?
For me, the answer is always yes, and sure, I’ll usually use my foot to lift the seat.
Yes, and even before I was married (or even engaged), I always put the seat down.
In fact, when I got married she constantly complained that I put both the seat and the lid down. What can I say, I don’t like chancing that things will fall in the bowl.
I never bother. Don’t care. Don’t miss either, though.
I never understood the “men never put the seat down” cliche. Just be glad it’s up.
Always. Even if it looks too manky to touch I use some TP to lift it.
Can’t vote. There’s no “Yes, unless it’s near last call and it’s obvious that the seat is already thoroughly contaminated” option.
Good LORD lift the seat!
If I’m at home or at a friend’s place, I’ll take some tp and wipe the rim if someone else has obviously left piddles. It’s a lot easier to clean when wet than dry. shudder
At a bar or at work (when I had a job 
), I don’t usually bother, because I know somebody will come at the end of the day to clean it. Then again, in both those places, I usually use a urinal rather than a toilet.
I always do at friends’ places, because I don’t want to be rude.
I always do at home, because I’m lazy and don’t clean my bathroom much (not nasty but not spotless either.)
I voted the “yes, always” option because there wasn’t a “yes, ALMOST always” option. When I don’t, it’s only at home, and a particular species of laziness sets in.
I rarely use a definitive, but in this case I can’t recall a time when I ever did not lift the seat. So I would have to say always.
That’s the one I needed too.
Man, I want to fucking crucify the guy who said, “only if I am at home.”, either that person is a giggling troll or has pissed all over the seat on the rare occasion I couldn’t wait to take a shit and had to do so in a public restroom.
Where’s the “I piss orange. I have to piss sitting down like a goddamn girlie-girl every fifteen minutes.” option?
Always. I had two sisters, and am housebroken.
I always lift the seat. I always put the seat down. It’s a simple thing to do and my wife appreciates it. I’ve taught my son to do likewise.
I do that. When I was a teenager Dad remodled out our bathroom and put the medicine cabinet over the toilet for some reason. :smack:
Always, but if it’s a public restroom, and the urinals aren’t available, I’ll generally lift the seat with my (shod) foot. And I’ll leave it up, while at home I generally put it down - living with 4 females isn’t worth the hassle of avoiding that step.
At home I sit to pee so I don’t lift the seat, but when I pee standing I always lift the seat.
When peeing standing up, I always lift the seat.
In a 3am bathroom visit, I’ll sit. I don’t want to have to wake up enough to aim reliably.
I always lift the seat.
And more importantly…
I ALWAYS put it back down. I cannot stand it when the toilet seat is left up. Future wife, provided she exists, will LOVE me…
