My wife and I just have separate bathrooms. We're both nesters, so sharing wasn't working.
Ahh, the Two-State Solution to peace.
That's what I do but my sister said it can evidently grow mold on the seat cover if you don't use it for a few days :(
It's true, the bathroom connected to our guest bedroom doesn't get a lot of use. We keep that lid up with the bathroom door closed (to keep the cats out of the water) to avoid the mold. I've never encountered that problem on a toilet used even once a week though.
Yeah I think only if we're out of the house for extended periods of time.
I always have wanted to know: Who the hell doesn't look at the seat before sitting down? Or is the "i might fall in" response also just a joke? 🤔
People that are used to living alone or with other women. Established habit and all that jazz.
When you wake up having to pee in the middle of the night and don't want to turn the light on
Also in general, as someone with a vulva, my mental model of a toilet is that the seat only is up for cleaning.
I did it one time when I woke up at 3am to pee. Had to keep the light off to not wake the Mrs.
It wasn't fun. But it wasn't life ending. I got a nightlight for the bathroom after that.
A blind person?
They might look at the seat.
(But they wouldn't know)
I've always said if a person sits on a toilet with the seat up it's a failure on two parts.
Yes the previous user should've put the seat down but who tf just plops ass first onto something without looking first?
At that point you get what you deserve, a wet stinky ass.
When youre at home with a clean toilet, treat yourself and sit to pee
As a dude that has 2 sons that just piss everywhere, I've always told them to just pee sitting down. There's no shame in it fellas.
I mean… you should put the lid (not just the seat) down before you flush every time regardless to reduce the airborne particles.
Out of interesst: Do you then reopen the lid to check for shitstains left in the bowl, that would need cleaning before you leave?
yes
Depends on how the movement went, and the sound of the flush.
This is exactly why someone needs to invent a completely clear glass toilet.
That exists.
Add that with these lights and you'll never wonder how your shit looks again.
Yikes
The number of people breathing their own aerosolized toilet water is too dam high!
Unless you're hermetically sealing your toilet lid with aftermarket parts, this number includes you.
it is greatly reduced, though.
Ah but they're using the old why get vaccinated if you can still get the virus logic. The only logical response is to pound down some lettuce and blast those particles right back at that toilet scum. Ass testosterone checks pronto
Yes, that's definitely one of the things I should do. One day.
That's not even the reason I do it. The way I see it, we both should have to do seat management before use. If I have to put the seat up, she has to put the lid up. It's only fair.
Ah yes, the constant struggle of pushing a boulder... downhill.
I think the joke is she's constantly putting the lid down
True, but equally difficult.
Just have separate bathrooms. Problem solved.
