I keep on telling my sister to keep the toilet seat up but she insists on keeping it up. I just don't know why but I feel it much better if that seat doesn't stay atop the toilet bowl rim...now im looking for an explanation on this simple querry that I have...I think it's psychological but I would really appreciate an answer. :) HAPPY MYLOTTING !:)

In both scenarios it is purely a case of geneder convenience! The last thing a woman wants to do is walk into the toilet late at night and sit down onto a hard, cold rim or even disappear into the toilet! lol. And men always put the seat up to not make a mess so leaving it up saves time! We can be lazy by nature remember!

You're right, James! I almost fell into the toilet once when my hubby left the toilet seat up. And it was in the middle of the night, it certainly woke me up after that!

Women need to sit down to pee. Men don't. I almost fell into the toilet bowl once because I thought the seat was down for me. Men need to lift the seat up to pee and have more room to shoot. I may have a solution. Close the toilet seat cover. When she wants to pee, she just lifts the cover and sit. When you want to pee, you can lift both the cover and the seat, and pee. What do you think? Everyone does a little work and no one falls into the toilet...

That's because women don't want to sit on the cold toilet, and the men didn't want to drop some pee on the seat. Just my opinion.

for convenience, i guess. women sit when they use the toilet, so naturally, we want the rim down. and men wouldn't want to stain the rim, so they keep it up. =)
