Toilets should have a pedal like on some trashcans that temporarily lifts the seat when you step on it.

[–]mattacular2001 171 points172 points ago

This is one of those things that you patent and don't post on the internet.

[–]testmypatience 15 points16 points ago

[–]CoachMingo 53 points54 points ago

also a pedal for flushing in public bathrooms so you dont have to touch the nasty handle

[–]dreadflintstone 203 points204 points ago

My wife and I have separate toilets in the house.

I had a urinal installed in mine. It's pro as fuck.

[–]Bunze 89 points90 points ago

[–]Kamakazi1 148 points149 points ago

You want pictures of CaptainJizzBeard's bathroom? Sicko

[–]down_vote_magnet 170 points171 points ago

Fuck you. Having a urinal is awesome. I want to see.

[–]CaveBacon 13 points14 points ago

I've always heard that they aren't great for homes as they can always stink to some degree.

[–]down_vote_magnet 20 points21 points ago

I didn't say I want one, I want to see someone's bathroom who does have one.

[–]tainterator 14 points15 points ago

I would imagine it's a clean place, what with the jizz being in his beard and all.

[–]goodolarchie 156 points157 points ago

Question for you. When you shit in the urinal, do you lift the flush handle up or down? Quick follow up. What do you do to keep your urinal poops smaller than the urinal cake? I want the poops to go down but the cake needs to stay. It has work to do.

[–]mus7ard 76 points77 points ago

what the fuck

[–]somnolent49 14 points15 points ago

What do you do to keep your urinal poops smaller than the urinal cake? I want the poops to go down but the cake needs to stay.

Simply keep a re-purposed potato masher next to the urinal.

[–]Sklaj 8 points9 points ago

This is brilliant. I usually just stomp it down with my foot. Your way is so much more sanitary.

[–]somnolent49 4 points5 points ago

It really is. Though if you want a more hygienic option, while still preserving the simple pleasure of foot stomping, I suggest replacing your bathroom loafers with a pair of these.

[–]xkostolny 6 points7 points ago

re-purposed

Nah, just give it a quick rinse in the sink and it's good to go.

Depending on how you want to flavor your potatoes, you may also want to rinse it off after using it in the urinal.

[–]TheArtofXan 1009 points1010 points ago

Well this is a good enough place for this rant: What the hell is with the pee splatter under the front of the seat? When I lived alone the bottom of the seat was always clean, but when cohabitating with women, there is always pee spray on the bottom of the seat. Is it blow back? Is it some sort of revenge knowing that lifting the seat could mean grabbing it by the bottom of the seat, right where this secret pee trap is located?

[–]Padington_Bear 119 points120 points ago

In my experience, it often happens that the pee shoots forward instead of straight down. It depends on how I'm sitting. If I feel it spray forward I quickly adjust my posture.

[–]TheArtofXan 68 points69 points ago

Ok this seems to be a legit answer, so follow-up question: Do you clean it up afterward?

It seems like the girls in my life are unaware of this mess (makes sense, as they never lift the seat and don't see it) so it just builds up until I clean it.

[–]Padington_Bear 118 points119 points ago

I'm afraid that it rarely occurs to me that I'm making a mess. I guess that because I don't see any drops visible anywhere, and I never have a reason to raise the seat, it's out of sight out of mind. However, out of consideration for the men in my life, I'll try to be more conscious of it in the future.

[–]TheArtofXan 42 points43 points ago

I tip my hat to you, for both your candor and your openness to the issue (which is really a minor thing after all)

[–]Dracolis 254 points255 points ago

One of the first times I saw my wife (girlfriend at the time) pee was when she was over at my place drinking, years ago. She started to piss and it sprayed out UNDER the toilet seat onto the floor.

There is no aim with that thing.. It just goes where it wants to. Apparently if you lean the wrong way, it just kind of rockets straight out.

[–]queefofengland 127 points128 points ago

i can confirm this. happens when you have a powerful stream.

[–]cantstopqueefing 102 points103 points ago

[–]CaveBacon 73 points74 points ago

[–]kamchatka 7 points8 points ago

Queefing constantly likely isn't helping.

[–]JohnAdamZiolkowski 25 points26 points ago

Whatever you do, don't cross the streams.

[–]fzer0 30 points31 points ago

I find it hard to believe you can't control the strength of the stream. You know start at say 20% and work your way up to full power once you've figured out which way you're pointing. Simple bathroom etiquette if you ask me.

[–]AuntieSocial 9 points10 points ago

Unfortunately, controlling the stream tends to redirect the spray (think about doing it with your finger on a hose - at low flow it's just not going to go the same way it will on full firehose). So you not only don't get a good idea of where it's going to go this way, but it could make it either worse to begin with, or worsen as you let go. Then bob forbid you so much as shift your weight a millimeter during the process, because that just re-rolls the dice all over again.

[–]beeprog 75 points76 points ago

And you married her as though you never saw a thing, like a true gentleman. Or it's a fireside story for the kids to hear. Both outcomes warm my heart.

[–]m4rx 309 points310 points ago

I had brought up that fact, once. I also happened to mention the time there was period blood on the underside of the seat, focusing on that as the main part of my argument for not wanting to put the seat up. The response I got was, "I DON'T WANT TO TOUCH THAT SHIT EITHER!" Followed up by, "Well, it's not my blood."

I guess I have periods too.

[–]beeprog 50 points51 points ago

You're putting words to things I've seen and just written off as 'anomalous result'.

[–]hodor_annyong 511 points512 points ago

[–]flashdude 419 points420 points ago

My guess is that the piss hits the bowl so hard it explodes into a piss explosion inside the bowl, resulting in piss matter flying up and hitting the underside of the tiolet seat. Pissplosion.

Thank you. It boggled my mind for years.

The most hilarious thing to me is when women say "Men leave disgusting bathrooms", hahaha.

Maybe in a personal home setting, you would be right. But in public bathrooms, women are BY FAR worse at their zero fucks given.

[–]cheezy8 6 points7 points ago

I work at a store and out of the two bathrooms the womens is always DISGUSTING. Whether I'm in there to use it, or to do a forced "bathroom check" it's absolutely fucking digusting.

From my experience women have messier personal bathrooms as well.

[–]ifuxwithdat 8 points9 points ago

I honestly have never touched the seat. I use my foot to lift or lower it. Why would you touch a toilet seat? Shit's nasty.

[–]shadowofthe 150 points151 points ago

This is why I pee in the sink

[–]Frightened_Inmate_1 13 points14 points ago

I hope you turn on the faucet flush that shit out when you're done. Otherwise the pee just sits in the U-bend and you have a sink that smells like piss.

/speaks from experience

[–]jonnichols 527 points528 points ago

I have always argued this with every woman that brings up the topic of toilet seats and men. Are we the only ones who bother to check the position of the seat or lid before we sit down? I've never once sat on the toilet rim by accident.

[–]Kelderm2 65 points66 points ago

As a male, I failed to check one time and I fell in. i didn't blame other people for not putting it down, i blamed myself and wallowed in self pity and toilet water. Never again will I not check.

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points ago

i never understood people falling in. are you walking into the bathroom backwards? do you just go by number of steps and sit without looking at the toilet?

[–]OsoBarbilloso 356 points357 points ago

As long as there are an even number of men and women sharing the bathroom, there is about a 60%-70% chance that whoever uses the bathroom next will need the seat to be down.

My roommate and I solved this problem by closing both lids every time.

[–]CaffeinatedGuy 573 points574 points ago

That is the only solution. However, public toilets don't have a lid.

For public toilets, shared or not, the only mathematical solution is to not touch it after you are done. This way, you are only moving the seat each time it needs to be moved and there is less unnecessary movement.

If we do this your way and I put the seat down after I take a piss, and the next person in there is male, he has to lift it, and put it back down again. So, for every male peeing following a male peeing, your "solution" leads to unnecessary touching of the seat.

Solution, stop fucking moving the goddamn seat.

[–]ughduck 75 points76 points ago

Graph of the extra seat moves incurred by the "put it back down" strategy above "leave it be": http://i.imgur.com/vrTA0.png

Only at all reasonable if there are many more woman than men or you shit way more than you piss.

[–]FartingBob 133 points134 points ago

[–]avelertimetr 46 points47 points ago

I say, we don't lift the seat when we pee. That way, nobody has to move the seat.

[–]Hallelujah_Popcorn2 11 points12 points ago

that's what I do

[–]gobearsandchopin 6 points7 points ago

so... do you clean up the inevitable splatter on the toilet seat, or when you take a shit do you just sit in your own piss?

[–]you_been_mangoed 34 points35 points ago

Hear, hear! Then you don't accidentally drop anything in it when you wash your hands next to the sink :(

Unless, of course, you're me, and you manage to do the impossible. As in, you drop your contacts case in the sink at just the right angle to make them slide down one side of the sink, get propelled up the other side, fly through the air, bounce off the back of the toilet and then slip between the hinges at the back of the toilet lid. splash

(how that happened, I still haven't figured out)

[–]lasercow 6 points7 points ago

[–]andrewsmith1986 203 points204 points ago

My roommate and I solved this problem by closing both lids every time.

That is the proper way to do it.

I'm shocked that more people aren't taught this by their parents.

[–]Bapoos 675 points676 points ago

Women would then shit on the lid and ask you to lift it up next time.

[–]paradigmx 34 points35 points ago

Then maybe their parents should have taught them to look before they shit, it's not my fault they where raised in a barn.

Not just explosives man, they gotta be rocket propelled hence why dildo said bazooka. I personally use a rocket pod as it saves space for having that many rockets.

[–]I_Key_Cars 42 points43 points ago

Your supposed to close the cover before flushing to stop the shit spray.

[–]Araya213 4 points5 points ago

This is only true in the southern hemisphere, where toilets flush backwards and the water/shit comes up and out of the toilet.

[–]kingofbigmac 21 points22 points ago

My roommate and I solved this problem by closing both lids every time.

I am a guy and my pet peeve is when the seat is up. I always shut the lid, makes it easy and no one blames me for leaving it up because every time someone uses it after me the seat is down.

[–]AphoticSketch 22 points23 points ago

When I see a toilet with the lid up all I can actually see is a giant mouth nagging the fuck out of me.

[–]myreddituser 17 points18 points ago

plus, who wants to look inside a toilet every time they're in the bathroom?

Just close the entire thing... and... buy a no-slam lid. It's awesome (until you go to someone's house that doesn't have one).

[–]Jesus_In_Drag 488 points489 points ago

Every so often my wife gets mad at me because she fell into the toilet... how in the world do you not look at what you are going to sit on?

[–]knylok 827 points828 points ago

It's simple. You see, when a woman walks into a washroom, she immediately closes her eyes. It's very important that she not behold the toilet. This creates challenges in unfamiliar bathrooms.
Now that her eyes are closed, she turns around and lowers her pants/lifts her skirt.
This is where things get fun: from the far side of the room, based on memory or inference, she must fling herself, butt first, onto the toilet seat. The friend she brings with her gets to judge her landing and award points, redeemable for cash prizes later.

At least... that's about the only way I figure that women are falling into toilets without checking the seat position.

[–]mazterlith 58 points59 points ago

Probably because all their life they never had to put the seat up. It's so foreign to them that they forget occasionally to check.

[–]bannana 219 points220 points ago

Down with lid closed is the default position.

[–]phfgd 89 points90 points ago

My roommate (male) & I (male) used to have issues w/ the toilet seat. Obviously both of us would stand to pee, but he would never lift the seat & thus piss all over the front 1/3 of the seat. Whenever I'd have to go #2, I'd have to wipe off his piss or if it had dried, spit on the seat & try to wipe up the dried yellow stains with TP. My solution was to put the seat & lid down on the toilet. Thus, if he was reaching down to lift the lid, he might as well grab the seat. It worked, except that I think on more than one occasion he would walk in & not notice the lid & start peeing. Finally one day he walked out of the bathroom clearly aggravated & yelled,

"[my name], stop putting the fucking lid down! You made me piss everywhere again!"

"[his name], I put the lid down because otherwise you piss all over the seat, & I have to sit in that when I take a shit!"

[both of us stand there realizing we are both at fault]

"Fair enough, I'll make sure to lift up the seat." "I'll stop putting the lid down."

It was a surreal moment of both of us realizing we were wrong. Kind of like this

[–]wickensworth 91 points92 points ago

Aw hell no, you weren't at fault for putting the lid down to block your roommate from pissing all over the seat like a selfish little dipshit. Your only fault was in not immediately yelling at him the first time he pissed over the fucking toilet seat.

[–]84960718640 329 points330 points ago

[–]webslingga 77 points78 points ago

yes, he should def look first

[–]shygg 32 points33 points ago

maybe he was mentally challenged and didnt know how to actually go to the toilet, I mean he was peeing on the same toiletseat as op. And just as op he would need to take a shit from time to time. This would mean...he would also have to sit...on pee. OP's roomie is retarded

[–]MagickalMonkeh 68 points69 points ago

er in what way were you wrong?? cos you didn't act like his mom & wipe up after him all the time? I can't see how you could've handled this any better. If it had been me, I'd have probably just lost it one day and frog-marched him into the bathroom to clean up his mess

[–]grte 54 points55 points ago

Your roommate is gross and you're an enabler.

[–]McFeely_Smackup 31 points32 points ago

The part where you were wrong is when you agreed that urinating onto a toilet seat was a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

seriously, WTF?

[–]electricmice 12 points13 points ago

actually you're not at fault at all. people need to learn how to live with another person. peeing on the seat is just completely retarded. if a human being can't even adjust his habit to not do so, then he should commit suicide.

[–]paradigmx 3 points4 points ago

I have done it this way since as long as I can remember when living with someone, and always to the dismay of my mother. Except when I live alone, then I leave the seat however the fuck I left it last.

As far as I'm concerned, if I have to lean down and touch it, so does everyone else that plans to use it.

[–]Alexi_Strife 16 points17 points ago

God damn cis-toilet seats setting the standards for what is "default" and what is not.

Apparently, females pull down their pants and just sit on stuff without looking. My personal experience does not back that up though.

[–]Swiisha 56 points57 points ago

Reminds me of the time I lost my virginity…

[–]thehollowman84 76 points77 points ago

To play devils advocate, statistically it makes more sense for it to be down than up. Women always need it down, to pee or poop. Men need it down to poop (unless you're super manly). So out of the 4 things that the toilet is required for, 3 need it down, and only 1 needs it up.

[–]saviourman 65 points66 points ago

Someone posted an article about this once on the math reddit (it was analysed from a game theory perspective). In the article they came to the conclusion that the minimum amount of effort will be expended if everyone leaves the seat how it is when they finish using it. Obvious when you think about it.

Unfortunately this means guys have to do more seat movements than girls, for the reasons you state in your post.

[–]MrCalifornia 37 points38 points ago

Makes so much sense. Why guess what the next person will do, if you're wrong you made 2 people touch the toilet.

[–]swine-fu 31 points32 points ago

That doesn't account for men:women ratio and the relative frequency of wee:poo.

[–]likwidmatt 5 points6 points ago

Plus, all the beer I drink makes me pee a lot.

[–]seasonsofmylove 3 points4 points ago

You are suppose to put the seat AND lid down for hygienic reasons. When the lid is open and you flush toilet water and all of the bacteria in the toilet bowl sprays into the air and onto things nearby, this includes the air you breathe and sinks nearby where toothbrushes are commonly stored.

I wouldn't give a fuck about guys putting the seat down if this weren't the case, considering I always look before I sit and I don't care about touching toilet seats. Having said that, I always put the lid of the toilet down BEFORE I flush and I think that everyone should get into that habit. That's what they are made for...

[–]BeardMilk 136 points137 points ago

I don't want my woman to have to touch the toilet seat, those are the hands she makes my sandwiches with.

[–]orbital667 88 points89 points ago

Uhm... you seem to have skipped the step where between being on the toilet and making your sandwiches she should be washing her damn hands. Touching the seat should happen somewhere in between those steps. As it stands now, I picture you a fan of turd sandwiches.

[–]the_girl 88 points89 points ago

Don't blame me, I voted for the giant douche.

[–]BeardMilk 7 points8 points ago

It's all about texture.

[–]Trollatio_Caine 5 points6 points ago

This is getting to be a little too nutty.

[–]aoeui-dhtns 52 points53 points ago

I for one make it into the bowl and don't spray on the floor. But I'm less than 100% reliable when the seat is down, so I always put the seat up if it isn't already.

If the goal is to minimize seat-touching, then we should make no unnecessary seat adjustments. In other words, change it when you need to and otherwise leave it how you used it.

Seat position should be read-through cached with a most-recently-used policy.

[–]obsa 8 points9 points ago

Hnnggghh. Yes.

[–]equatorbit 49 points50 points ago

I think we should have a social contract. I will call it the one touch rule.

-If it is down when I need to pee, I will touch it once and put it up and leave it up.

-If a lady needs to pee, she can touch it once, put it down and leave it down.

-If it is up when I need to pee, no touch.

-If it is down when a lady needs to pee, no touch.

Equal for all.

[–]7echoalpha 108 points109 points ago

In full disclosure women should be informed of the fact that men often hit the seat with their stream and that they should actually lobby for the seat to be up at all times.

[–]lasercow 133 points134 points ago

men who pee standing up with the toilet seat down are savages and unwelcome in my manpad (OR MY MANCAVE!)

[–]5eraph 73 points74 points ago

Naw man, it's the challenge round. Smaller target, double the points. However, double the punishment for failure.

[–]lasercow 28 points29 points ago

no. no matter how good your aim you still micro spray all around.

this is half the reason I always put the top down. so no douchy guys pee on the seat.

the other half of the reason is to limit spray from flushing

[–]jsnoots 44 points45 points ago

Would a woman just walk into a restaurant, assume a chair is behind them and just sit and fall on the ground?

That being said, after I stand and piss I close the toilet lid, otherwise the dog will come strolling out with a smile and a wet beard.

[–]McFeely_Smackup 16 points17 points ago

Falling into the toilet because you didn't look before you sat down to shit is basically Darwin trying to kill you before you reproduce your stupid genes...but unfortunately modern toilets aren't venous snakes or cliffs and it's only mildly annoying instead of lethal.

[–]andrewsmith1986 203 points204 points ago

I close the lid after I am done. (if there is one)

The rest of you are heathens.

[–]aoeui-dhtns 7 points8 points ago

Me too but I love this argument

[–]PeppermintDinosaur 45 points46 points ago

Seriously. The nasty stuff that gets kicked up when the toilet gets flushed can settle on everything in the bathroom otherwise.

[–]aquasucks 37 points38 points ago

Not in any significant amount.

However, the immediate splash from the flush can settle on the seat if it's down. So that's a bigger worry IMHO.

[–]Akasazh 23 points24 points ago

Not once in my foul bachelor frog lifestyle did I contract any disease from not doing this. Go one with your clean bathrooms, the cleanlyness is just an illusion. Disinfect all you want. It wont save you. Germ anxiety is a far bigger cause of illness as perceived uncleanlyness is.

Or don't. Disinfect every inch of your house, it's yours. I'm not advocating filth either. It just that biologically a little bit of uncleanlyness is benificial to your health and your children's.

[–]EmptyParad0x 27 points28 points ago

Man here, I do the same. If the seat has a lid, why not close it? Who wants to see shit stains in the toilet?

[–]sirblastalot 90 points91 points ago

Maybe you should scrub the toilet once in a while.

[–]Tangled2 110 points111 points ago

You're supposed to blast the shit stains off with your piss.

[–]PonyPunch 18 points19 points ago

Not to sell out my fellow women here, but am I the only one who just puts the seat down when I find it up? Eh, I just don't care. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't really knock me down a peg as a person to put the seat down.

When my boyfriend comes over and uses the toilet, he usually puts the seat back down when he's done peeing because its my house. When I visit him, I put his toilet seat back up because that's his house.

Ah whatever. This'll get buried.

[–]Hewgag 28 points29 points ago

I've always believed YOU should put the seat in whatever goddamned position YOU need it in.... Don't expect others too.

/end rant

[–]Closed0perations 13 points14 points ago

By god that was the most concise rant ever.

[–]StupidFatHobbit 6 points7 points ago

It's just women trying to justify never having to move the seat themselves. If it wasn't for men, it would always be down, therefore we're at fault.

[–]Zebba_Odirnapal 48 points49 points ago

If you're unable to look before sitting, you deserve what you get. You'd think a lifetime of falling into toilets would convince some women to look before sitting, but nooooo

[–]interneteer 21 points22 points ago

The fact that both parties were able to use "you're" correctly is astonishing.

[–]turnipstealer 6 points7 points ago

I thought everyone just lifted it/closed it with their foot like I do. Apparently not.

[–]Skaevola 11 points12 points ago

Wait, the reason that women want the seat put down in the bathroom because they don't want to touch it?

Mindblown

[–]Popcom 10 points11 points ago

Nobody should have to leave the seat up OR down. I am 28 years old, and not ONCE have I EVER fell in the toilet. I don't pull my pants down and put my bare ass on anything without looking first. If you do, then you deserve to fall in. If you only want the seat put back up because you're to lazy to lift it, then you hardly have an argument anyway

[–]Mandon 16 points17 points ago

Women fought for equal rights for a reason... we piss with the seat up. Most times we have to lift the seat up. So put the seat down when you have to use it. Its not like we sit on the rim when we have to shit. Look before you sit. However, yes, some men need to learn to stand closer to the toilet when they piss. It is gross.
