where is the option for "wherever it was when you were done using it"?

I always put the lid back on top of the 5-Gallon bucket (I'll try not to mention corn cobs)! We had an actual seat on our five gallon pail (that is the truth!, the "Honeybucket")
Actually, I clean up the bowl and make sure the seat is placed down (to keep unfortunates from falling in the thing accidentally, especially at night).
Remember: if you sprinkle when you tinkle be a sweety and wipe the seaty.
Nice of you , but I am sort of looking for a little more then just a "courtesy issue"Originally posted by Cod
Usually I just leave the seat up since I live on my own; however, whenever I have guest (particularly girls), I tend to lower the toilet seat and lid all the way. Guess its just a courtsey issue.

I wondered if we were getting kinda slow around here. Now after seeing this post, I have my answer
Now that's super stylish !We had an actual seat on our five gallon pail (that is the truth!, the "Honeybucket")
Actually I had done this to tell of the researcher who had researched this and found that when a toilet is flushed the swirling water "atomizes" and sends out a very fine mist/spray of bacterally laden moisture.Originally posted by BoulderHead

I think I may have guessed where this thread is going...
As far as I know spraying water into the air helps to kill bacteria, (%? <100%?) as it is employed as a useful form of water sanitation, just that, even dead bacteria can invoke a "pyrotogenic (pyro/fire + genisis/start) reaction" as the cells walls of the dead bacteria still have the protien coat and can still induce a fever from the human bodies immune reaction to what it will still recognize as "foriegn".Originally posted by megashawn
(SNIP) For a time I use to leave the seat down, but here recent with woman wanting to open there own doors and such, I wonder why they can't raise the seat for us? GOOD POINT!, I have wondered about that one too, but would want for them to place the seat all the way down, (Prior to flushing!) as well.
And that is interesting, and uhh, nasty about the bacteria thing. Wouldn't a bowl sanitizer take care of that problem though? You know, the things that make the water blue. (SNoP)
So that was YOU in the washroom, with the urine, that slid the butler off the seat, and crashed him into the library floor, holding the candlestick, that slew the attendant.Originally posted by The Grimmus

Quite possible, but as I recall, the one that I had read, had been published in the Newspaper mid, to late 90's.Originally posted by zoobyshoe
I saw him interviewed on TV in the late 1980s. He was a first-rank germophobe, the type of guy who opens doors with a tissue.
He may never suffer from a bacteriological infection but you could see his Blood Pressure was working on a really big aneurism for him.

One stat I had heard was something along the lines of if you cleaned all of the bacteria off of yourself, (your skin) 'cept one, within 24 hrs, you would have the equivalent of the number of humans on the planet, as bacteria, back (reborn) on your skin. Neat eh??
Tell me, do you think it was the work of a ring??Originally posted by photon
All the toilet seats were stolen from police headquarters.
The police have nothing to go on.
Police are pretty sure. Whoever it was, the criminals will surely be plunged into prison.Tell me, do you think it was the work of a ring??
Ya mean the police are going to scrub out the ring, then flush them down the toilet??Originally posted by photon

If not, they will be in deep doo-doo, and someone will have to come along and mop up after them.Originally posted by Mr. Robin Parsons
Do you think they can handle the paperwork??
Sure, that's their job. Well, that's what it says on the paper.Ya mean the police are going to scrub out the ring, then flush them down the toilet??
Only problem is, we can't pull up a seat, and watch the action from the throne! Yoiks!Originally posted by photon

i was thinking of starting a related thread with a poll: which hand do you wipe your ass with? there would be two options: right hand and left hand.
then, after a few people answer the poll, i'd say, "yuck! i don't use my hand, i use toilet paper."
It's implied in the other responces, could easily be added in your responce, and heck! got to leave something for you to say, NO?Originally posted by NateTG
There are/were societies where it was right hand eat, left hand wipe. That's why it's not polite to eat with your left hand when eating finger food in India. (I'm not kidding.)
Having had problems with clogging recently, I'm a close-post flush, but the option 'leave it the way you found it' is missing.
There could be a variety of reasons for this. Some people may have been taught to leave the seat up as a courtesy to the next user, while others may simply forget to put it down. Some people may also prefer to leave the seat up for hygiene reasons, as it allows the toilet bowl to dry out and prevent the growth of bacteria.
While it is not necessarily required, it is considered polite to put the toilet seat down after use. This is especially important if there are multiple users sharing the same bathroom, as it shows consideration and respect for others.
The toilet seat should always be left down when flushing the toilet. This helps to prevent the spread of bacteria and germs from the toilet bowl into the air and onto surfaces in the bathroom.
If you live with others who frequently leave the toilet seat up, it can be helpful to have a friendly reminder in the bathroom to put the seat down after use. This could be a sign or note, or simply a verbal reminder to each other.
In public washrooms, it is generally expected that the toilet seat should be left down after use. This is for hygiene reasons and to ensure that the next user has a clean and comfortable experience. It is also important to wash your hands after using a public toilet to prevent the spread of germs.
