Co-ed bathroom at work- how do you leave the seat? (1 Viewer)

[Officer Pete Malloy]

I've always thought the "seat must go down" stuff was insane for women to get upset about. I have plenty of other unreasonable things to be upset about instead.

Great post, sugar ####.

What happens when you have a foot long+ log? Do u leave it floating to marinate and for your co-workers to admire? This is common courtesy, no.

 

[Harry Manback]

I keep the seat AND lid down at all times. Screw everyone.

 

[avoiding injuries]

Up if I pissed down if I pooped.

Up if I pooped. It confuses them with the smell.

 

[xulf]

I always put it down, lid too. I, like I'm guessing most of you, was potty trained by my mother. So seat and lid down became a habit immediately. I will note that I never use my hands on a public seat - that's what my feet are for.

 

[Rick James]

I make no conscious choice re: up/down other than just before bed when I try to remember to put it down so the dog doesn't drink out of the toilet.

I mean it's a TV show argument, right? Not a real life thing...at least not in my 30 years on this planet

I've been living with women for... too long. The first one made it a polite point- and so I did. and have ever since. takes a split second and seems inconsequential.

fwiw, I had an older brother and it was my dad who taught us the whole pee thing. no sitting down. no wiping. but no putting seat down either. I didn't have any girls or women around to know any different until that first live-in gf when I was in my young 20s.

now, with a wife and daughter, I make a point of telling my son to put the seat down- because it's being polite towards his mom and sister.

in a shared coed work-place, of course I put the seat back down (up and down with my foot). but it's gotten to a point where it's automatic- even on a constuction job-site, I still am putting the seat down out of habit.

In a coed bathroom at work- imagine 5-20 people- how do you leave the toilet seat after use?

Put it back down?

Leave it up?

Assume #1. Don't assume #2. You are #6.

i am not a number...i am a free man!

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

at home, everything down. anywhere else, stays how it was when i showed up to use it.

so if you walk in, and the seat is down... you lift it up to pee and then put it back down? and if it was up, it just stays up?

that's the kind of detail that trips me up- I'd never remember by the time I finished peeing whether it was up or down when I walked in.

To avoid any confusion you should just pee in the sink.

 

[B Maverick]

I am the exception for sure. I put the seat and the lid down. I don't want to see the toilet and I don't want anything to fall it. ONe of the kids toothbrushed fell in already. I tossed it before they could use it again.

I'm the same way. I close it all up.

Although I really WANT to vote "Up. Why should I have to lower the seat for women... they don't raise it for me."

 

[elguapo07]

Digging a bit deper here. Say you're rushing some blood and you need to ease the tension and have to "withdraw from the contest". Does this fall under the acceptable column for a co-ed bathroom?

What's this up and down with your foot nonsense? You wash your hands (i hope) when you're done. I can see how a lid can go up somewhat easy with your foot but down? Must slam down pretty hard. Seems overly complicated.

it's easy.

considering the look of most of my co-workers, no way I'm touching that seat with my hands.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

I like to leave an Andes mint on the seat.

Thanks for the mints!

Much tastier than urinal mints.

some toilets now have an extra lip on the right side to make it easier to do the foot lift.

I never did see The Prisoner going to the bathroom. Probably wanted nothing to do with #1 or #2.

If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie.

 

[elguapo07]

Seat down with some tinkle on it but I leave a hall-of-fame type floater to ensure that it becomes a men's room. 

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

This thread inspired me just now.

The nearest restroom is a jack-n-jill type deal. Basically and alcove with a sink at one end. Then there is are two separate toilet rooms...one for men and one for women. I just went to take a leak and used the mens toilet room. On the way out I went into the women's toilet room and put the seat up. I plan on doing this every time I use that restroom (as long as no females are using their toilet).

SUCKA MCs!

Been doing this about once a week since October.  Nobody has mentioned anything.  Pretty disappointing.

Find this difficult to believe, unless there is cabal of women quietly plotting your death. But they're women, so it couldn't be quietly. Just odd stuff.

Be an adult not a kid. Hit the toilet not the lid.

Thought I'd do a little name dropping and tell you all that I've met Barney Smith.

 

[SacramentoBob]

I piss all over it to mark my territory.

Saw a sign from the cleaning crew in the bathroom when I worked for Lockheed that said, "We aim to please.  You aim too, please."  Made me chuckle.

In a home toilet I always close the lid when I'm done.  Women don't like it same way they don't like leaving the seat up.

I've never seen a co-ed bathroom at work.  In men's rooms I leave it however I used it, seat up or down.  Basically, minimal touching of the toilet.
