The Toilet Seat

[cardinalkarp]

Only problem is, where do you find one? Would I have to go to a commercial supplier to even buy one?

I went through a house once where they had one in the master bathroom. They did a pretty good job hiding it around a corner so it didn't look so tacky out in the open.

I think you missed your chance a couple years back.

That one was a bit expensive. I was thinking of something a little more affordable.

Maybe I'll just find an old trough at the family farm, and give my bathroom a true Wrigley feel. I already have the ivy outside.

Why would anyone sit on a toilet without first shecking to see if the seat is down?

That being said, my monm and three sisters trained me tp put the seat up and then put it down when I was finished. I used to not lift the seat, just aim better.

A friend of mine has one in his home. Like you, I don't know why more people haven't jumped on this idea.

He got his from a library that was being re-modeled. A friend of a friend who was working on the project snagged the urinal for him, and he's happy as can be. His wife is happy too, because they don't have issues with the toilet seat anymore.

It really is baffling that they're not in every home these days.

Why is it any more tacky than a toilet?

I usually just aim well and never move the seat (unless I'm cleaning the toilet). I never understood the point of putting the seat down. What are you trying to hide? Don't people clean their toilets?

My mother and sister never cared ether.

The bacteria post was the first good reason I've EVER heard in favor of keeping the lid down.

If someone can give me another good reason, I'll consider always flipping the lid down.

It's such an issue in my house that at some point in the past, I decided to put both the seat and the lid down just to make sure. I know in my case the issue came about at 3am and she decided to be courteous and not turn the light on and fell through.

I found another advantage of putting the lid down though. It turns out that flushing the toilet with the lid up throws all sorts of bacteria into the air. I'm basically a slob except when it comes to my everyday life, but I'm the complete opposite about bathrooms. In public restrooms I refuse to touch anything without a paper towel in my hand, but even at home I'm a little psycho about it. Once I heard that story about leaving the lid up when you flush I always close the lid, then flush. I would do that with or without females in the house.

After every condo I lived in after college, I replaced each toilet and tub in the master bath and never used the bathrooms in the unit. I've lived in the same house since '01 and never used the other 2 bathrooms, only the master bath.

I hate public restrooms, there's always hand sanitizer in my possession.

Bathrooms are one of my complusive things.

Hotel bedding is another.
