Has anyone ever noticed-a toilet seat is hinged-to facilitate the lifting thereof.
So lift it! 
I close the entire toilet bowl, both lids. That way when you flush the water wont splash around the room. I donāt like shit and piss particals on my toothbrush all that much.
You must have an unusually powerful flushing system for Taiwan.Normally itās just a half-hearted whirlpool in the centre of the bowl.Why do you store your toothbrush in such close proximity to the toilet bowl anyway?
hereās my logic for leaving it up
-
im a man so if its down, I have to pick it up - why do women assume that it should always be ready for them? the arguement of im sleepy and hate sitting on cold porcelin doesnt wash - i have never pissed on a closed toilet - even when waking up from my wei ya slumber at 5am
-
as my bathorrom is a āwet roomā leaving the toilet seat up means that it dries off after showering
finally - if your lady really FORCES you to leave it down, heres the simple answer - just close the toilet lid - that way both people must make an action at the start and end of each toilet trip - and if you stil cant solve it BUY A SQUATTIE - no arguements there 
there was also a study done in the UK about your so called shit particles - or as they are scientifically named, faecal (sp? from facies that I also cant spell!!!) aerosols and thereās bad news for you
in the study toothbrushes were put in various locations in an appt for 28 days - one on top of the toilet (seat up) one on the bathroom sink and other in the living room next door to the bathroom, another in the kitchen (which were all routinely used), a control that was left out of its wrapper on top of the refrdgerator (and finally the unwrapped control)
the results - after being grown on an agar jelly plate (or whatever they are) ALL toothbrushes (excluding the unwrapped control) were found to have significant levels of faecal aerosols that was not found to be in proportion to the distance from the toilet
Meaning - you brush your teeth with minute shit particles everyday - the only way to stop it is to vist a love hotel everyday for the rest of your life and steal both toothbrushes :bravo:
not a bad solution

Yes, but then, according to Dr. Dean Edell, this causes no health risks, so the entire point is moot.

Yes its true, fecal matter is everywhere. The test doesnāt find whether or not there are more or less fecal aerosols in a house where the toilet seat is left up rather than down. That would be a whole new test. Iād guess it wouldnāt be all that different, but still, I think leaving the seat down is a good idea anyway, then the men and women both have to lift in order to use.
In fact I bet leaving the seat down would remind the guys to lift BOTH seats rather than piss all over the lower one.
But then again if we leave the seat down we have to TOUCH it before going so that might spread the lilā fecals some moreā¦
TOTO toilets have an automatic seat that opens and closes. They are sell the automatic seat seperately as aftermarket.
Hopefully this will help settle the dispute.
You are all missing two very improtant FACTs, Ok I use the word loosely.
According to CSI if you leave the lid open when you flush the germs from your pee get scattered around the room randomly, including on your toothbrusj if it happens to be uncoveredā¦yuk, lid stays down in our house.
Whilst in HK I read somewhere that it is bad Feng Shui to keep the lid open as all your money goes down the toilet. Mrs Poe didnāt get the first reason for closing the lid as she likes to use my bathroom in thenight (i.e. her toothbrush is ok) but she understood the importance of disappearing money alright!
I want to know who the hell sits down without looking first? Is this some type of subconscious scheme on some womenās behalf to have something to bitch about with their partner?
I guess no one should tell women about the bedsheetsā¦thatāll gross them out.
I had never given the āseatā question a momentās thought, before. Now, I have remember put the seat down because my sisterās idiot kitten falls in it if I donāt.
