I live in a on campus apartment with 3 other guys. One of them is my best friend, the other two are randoms that got thrown in here with us, but they are good guys. For the longest time Erik, my best friend, and I would complain to each other that their was always urine on the toilet seat. Not the bowl, but the actual seat. We never brought it up to the person we knew who was doing it because he is kinda awkward and does things weird. But I finally brought it up to him the other day ( I just asked him if he knew who was doing it) and he didn't say anything. Well like 10 mins ago he came in my room and ask me, "do you know who keeps leaving the seat down?". I was very confused. I said "umm, probably whoever last took a shit?". He asked, me why wouldn't that person lift the seat up when they were done. I come to find out that the reason why there is urine all over the seat all the time is because he won't lift the seat up to pee because he wasn't the last person to put it down so why should he have to lift it up. So then he pees all over the seat and cleans it up "half the time". I have never in my life heard of "lifting the seat after you shit" in a house of all guys. Am I the only one or is he just fucking weird?
Yes he's weird, but it actually makes sense. If it's a house full of dudes, then the toilet is more often going to be used seat-up than seat-down--why not return it to it's most commonly-used position? If you were living with a woman, you would be expected to lower the seat after urinating for the same reason. Embrace the weirdness--make it a house policy. Your life will be better for it.
In every group house in which I lived we always had a bottle of spray cleaner (Lysol, Scrubbing Bubbles, etc.) and wipes on top of the toilet with a small waste basket with a lid you could operate by foot. It was the responsibility of the person who made the mess to clean it. That being said, I always cleaned the seat before I ever sat on it. I not only put the seat down every time I use the toilet, but close the lid. Unless you're living with freaks, women will be in your house all the time. Nothing bums out a woman more than a dirty bathroom.
I suppose it makes sense, but at the same time, we are guys and we don't get all pissed off about stupid crap like this like girls do when you leave the seat up. I always put the seat down when their are girls living there just because they get all cranky if you dont. But we are MEN! and MEN don't have a little hissy fits because the seat is down. Because unlike girls, who only use the bathroom sitting down, us MEN do it both ways. I just think he is a little bitch for refusing to lift the seat up and just peeing everywhere. I will now listen to ABM (you know its a bad thing when someone does that) and start putting the seat and lid down.
Rip his dick and testicles off so he has to pee sitting down in the future. Seriously, pissing all over your living quarters because of some weirdo "dude-rule" is retarded. As for me, I have a fear of falling in and drowning in my toilet, so I always close the seat and lid down all the way. Seriously listen to this story for a good reason to keep your toilet lid down: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/sites/all/play_music/play_full.php?play=406
Weird guy. Have your other roommate and you decide that the guy must take out the trash or something. Or the both of you both take dumps and leave the seat messy for him.
this is pretty basic guy code. a communal toilet's seat should always be up, so after you take a dump you lift the seat up. otherwise you're going to piss on the seat when you stumble in there to piss.
From Answers.com There is a muscle, called the puborectalis, that loops around the very lowest part of your intestine and chokes off your bowel like a lasso. It's because of this muscle that you have continence. The sphincter at your anus is only for short-term emergencies; usually your puborectalis muscle is what keeps you from pooping when you don't want to. When you're standing up, the puborectalis is pulled tight around your bowel. When you're sitting, it holds the bowel less tightly, and when you're squatting (which is the natural position to poop in), your bowel straightens out fully, allowing feces to travel through easily and pass out of the body. So normally, no, you can't poop when you're standing up. However, it is possible to have feces sneak past that muscle, and then you would find it difficult to prevent yourself from pooping regardless of your body position. Anyone who has had diahhrea can attest to that. Read more: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Can_you_poop_while_standing_up#ixzz1F0x9G3Va
