As for raised seats, YOU try sitting down in the dark some cold night with the seat up! Talk about stress, YIPE! Another problem: when we women reach a certain age, the time it takes to put the seat down is too much time. From urge to overflow is a matter of seconds (I know, TMI. Sorry but it’s just a fact of life for us. We learn to deal with it, but finding the seat up just makes dealing with it that much harder.)
And why only the seat and not the lid? If it stresses you who sit that the seat is not down it’s only fair that when you finish you put the seat up for those who stand :D
All those commenting on the drawing of the loo have forgotten that this is supposed to be the stone-age. It’s carved from stone, not moulded from ceramics. Even if it was made from clay it would not be to modern standards.
The toilet seat goes up so that men (who pee standing up) won’t pee on on the seat. Of course, if women prefer wet seats to raised seats, that can be arranged, too.
When you flush, the water in the bowl creates a fine spray (see Mythbusters). Close both lids to keep the spray in the bowl and not all over the bathroom (toothbrush)…. now if I can just remember to do it myself. Habits are hard to break.
Hey girls, If you don’t want us to pee on the seat ( On a cold dark night ) Put the seat up when your done. The seats on hinges for a reason and it does go up too.
My ex-left the seat up all the time. One dark night in freezing January, I plopped my tiny tushee right into the cold water. We are dicvorced now —MUCH better.
Men; act like a man and have respect for everyone else in your house. It takes very little time to train yourself to always put the seat down. A worse offense than leaving the seat up is the men that don’t pick it up in the first place. They should be banned from using a toilet all together.

raised seats are always stressful to those who never look ere they sit — or whatever

And then there are those women who pee hovering in public bathrooms and leave their splashes all over the seat for the next woman. Yuck!

Nyah nyah! We can pee standing up and you can’t. Leave the seat up, guys. You’re (usually) alone in the bathroom.

I guess this begs the question of why women complain about the seat being left up while men never complain about it being left down.
Some of us need it up; others need it down. We’re big boys and girls, you think we could figure this out.

See? Women have been able to put the seat down all by themselves for millions of years!
