Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 It isn't the effort it takes to put it down, it's not realizing in the middle of the night, in the dark, that it is up.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Besides, it's the height of bad manners to leave not only the toilet seat up, but also the lid. At least that's what me mum taught me, and she could teach " Miss Manners " a few things. ;-) One of the few things she managed to drum into me... she had a very poor student here! LOL!

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 In my family (and, fortunately also in my boyfriend's) everyone was taught to both a) make sure everything was flushed and away, AND b) close the lid. That way no gross surprises, and no wet bottoms for anyone (cuz sometimes guys gotta sit, too!). Oh, and no free drinks for the pets, either. Anyone remember that Seinfeld episode where he knocked his girlfriend-of-the-day's toothbrush into her toilet and didn't tell her so she used it? Ewwww!

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 It's also good Feng Shui to close the lid. How you ask? Chi is attracted to water, we know that right? Therefore chi is attracted to the open bowl of water in a bathroom. You sure don't want to " flush " away all that good chi - so always - always shut the lid!!!!

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Oh of course , the lid. I grew up in a European house, where the toilet is in a separate cubicle, and the bathroom is a different entity all together. Toilets did not have lids. The first time I saw an American style bathroom was in a suburb of Madrid, Spain, where a friend of ours lived at the time. It had been built to house Americans who worked at the air base in Torregon. I thought having the toilet in the same place as the bathtub was pretty gross. Then we went to visit an American couple, and I thought I'd die laughing at the sight of a toilet seat covered with lavender plush. If I ever build my own home, it would have the toilet separate too.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Oh how interesting... when we were apartment hunting in San Francisco, we eventually just stopped looking at Victorian style buildings... beyond all the other problems with Victorian architecture, most of them had split bathrooms, and none of us were willing to deal with that <laugh>. Different perspectives, I guess. >I thought having the toilet in the same place >as the bathtub was pretty gross. > >If I ever build my own home, it would >have the toilet separate too.
