8) There is only one bathroom. Mom makes the rules and she says put the seat down.
. . . because Mom can't figure out how to put it down herself? It's a pretty simple contraption, with only one moving part, Mom should be able to master it, same as anyone else. Or else, here's my rule for Mom: Leave the seat up for me, if you don't want me to pee on it, because I'm sick and tired of having to put it down all the time.
One rule I had in my house, and it made the house wonderfully peaceful and quiet. No talking to anyone who is not in the same room. If you have something to say, get up and go to the room they are in. Exceptions only in case of emergency, like "Bring me a roll of toilet paper". Also, it is wonderful exercise to run up the stairs to say "Supper is ready" or "The phone call is for you".
I never understood what the big deal was of the toilet seat being up. They were made to go up and down as necessary.
i just think this is a silly thing to get peeved about.
Want it up, put it up. Want it down, put it down, want the cover down, cover it....just so silly.
Scenario: Middle of the night and someone is sleepily trying to go to the bathroom without waking up to much so that they can go back to sleep somewhat easily.
1. Someone leaves the toilet seat down and forgets to lift it. Get some sprinkles on the seat that need to be wiped off. The person still sleepily goes back to bed without a big ordeal
or
2. Someone forgets to put the toilet seat down. Person falls in are now covered in toilet water, it is all over the floor and PJs. Now they need to clean the floor, take a shower, put on fresh PJs and then try to go back to sleep.
Which is better? and I don't mean for the laugh factor.
My toliet seat broke about 5 years ago, and I had to do without one for a day. I like it better with no seat at all, and I never replaced it. When I subsequently moved to a place with a working toilet seat, I never put it down. Just sit on the porcelain.
I've tried to imagine an adult "falling in", and just can't even picture it. Somebody send me a YouTube.

Typical men! Clearly you guys have never fallen into the toilet late at night in the dark.
