All right, I admit it, I Confess!!!!

What's wrong with every toilet user putting the seat and the lid down together after making sure it is clean and free of drips.

Hardly rocket science for either gender!

I like this... that's what I do, but living in a house full of females, it's me that does the complaining. I always lift the seat to pee, and always replace seat and lid afterwards... nobody else replaces the lid... grrr... mind you, when I were a lad, only the middle classes had bogs with lids, so lid-replacement wasn't an issue in my home... the main issue was walking up and down the hall before school desperately needing a poo while dad read the paper and had a ciggie in there.

I always put the lid down as:
It looks better.
It stops stuff falling down there.
It stops an energetic flush splashing the bathroom.
It stops the dog (when I had one) drinking from the bowl.
It stops the cats (when I had them) jumping up and falling in the bowl.

Fnaar, if the rest of the household don't put the lid the lid down then there is no point having one, might as well remove it and see anyone says anything.

There is now a link with putting the toilet seat down and the incidence of Hospital Acquired disease such as C Diff!
