Around our humble abode each individual is responsible for insuring that the bathroom conditions are set to their personal preferences prior to availing themselves to the facilities. If I want the seat down its my responsibility to check it before being seated. If the husband wants it up he is familiar enough with the technology to see that it is in its fully upright and locked position without having to call tech support.
Most of the time the entire lid is down due to the regretable fascination a certain large mammal has for digging holes in standing water. Few things in civilian life will bring a person (or persons)to full alert status as quickly as an 8 month old 80 lb. Shepard mix leaping into the bed soaked in toilet water. Self preservation and interspecies rivalry have taken the male/female dynamic right out of the equation.
JT, what are you doing playing with your dolls, er, I mean “action figures” while your going to the bathroom! Don’t even tell me what your doing with the hot wheels.

I think it’s obvious that women should put the seat back up.

Separate bathrooms or a really huge bathroom with separate toilets.

If all else fails. Chivalry should be used.

What the heck, leave it down all the time. The surprise then is just as much fun as leaving it up.

Ewwww…
Hmmm…if small children are in the household, would you want them falling into the terlit?
Even the band (and their man friends)that I lived with put the seat down.
If the light is on, however, it shouldn’t matter. It just really matters when the light is off and one forgets the seat might be up.
I don’t have to worry about it…no men in the house.
Why am I giving this so much thought? I really have no life.

I put the seat down. I’ve knocked to much stuff off in there that was never seen again.

Both lids down…you haven’t lived until you’ve had to dig Hot Wheels and action figures out of the toilet…
