You're thinking of the seat, not the lid. Although women are wrong about this. The standard should be a single seat manipulation per urinary event. That's the only fair way to do it. Why should the men manipulate the seat twice and women never?
- grahamplace 4y agoIf your goal is to minimize pathogens transferred from seat to hand, you can think of the man's second seat manipulation as "zero cost" in the sense that their hand is already contaminated and they'll need to wash thoroughly Man 2x, Woman 0x = 1 "contamination" cost incurred Man 1x, Woman 1x = 2 "contamination" cost incurred
- nsxwolf 4y agoThis is an interesting view. Like anything else it's important to establish what the goals actually are.
- itronitron 4y agoAgreed, lid goes down prior to each flush. Guys raise the seat if they are standing up, otherwise anyone else using the toilet just needs to raise and lower the lid.
- yamtaddle 4y agoYeah, this has long been my response to the stupid seat-up/seat-down controversy. Fine, lid's going down too. That way stuff can't get knocked or dropped in, and it reduces flush-spray, so it's better anyway.
- sidlls 4y agoNo, two of the relationships I’ve been in have involved women who absolutely loathed if the lid was down, or if the seat was up. It had to be lid-up, seat-down at all times.
- eru 4y agoI had to teach my (female) partner to close the lid, too. She got it after a while.
- eru 4y agoHuh? You open the thing, sit down to do your business, then close it. It's two simple manipulations for everyone, and for civility.
