Simple, don’t sit down before you check

how would one hurt himself sitting on the toilet seat? (in fact I’ve hurt myself sitting on the toilet while it was closed; that bang was horrible)

Blame the Ghoulies [see the movie’s poster]

You know, the lid should also be down so nothing falls in, and to keep pets out, and because it looks better for company.

That’s the problem with unisex public toilets. You can generally tell what gender the last visitor was.

Toilet ghost leaves a very haunting sound when used in the middle of the night, (after snacking on sauerkraut and hard boiled eggs)

If you’re afraid of a toilet ghost, get a nightlight

Could it be Clayton? He’s a boy. Maybe Dad needs to teach him to put down the lid. And always put it down as long as he lives with females.

Someone must have drawn it that way just to make you look bad.

Wait until the toilet ghost teams up with the phantom flush.

So, as a male, I am expected to put the lid UP to do my water painting, then put the lid DOWN again so females don’t fall in because they don’t check the lid status? But females don’t have to put the lid UP after doing their business? Seems inequitable to me in this day and age of equal rights.

End of the week she will remember she cleaned the bowl when claning the bathroom and forgot to lower the seat herself.

When it comes to toilet issues, logic is not a valid approach. Their ability to shame you will overwhelm any logic you can summon. But I agree, put both the seat and the lid down, whatever end you use to relieve yourself. Who wants to look in there?

Also, it she insists that it be left up…might not Adam pee on the seat if he has to pee in the dark? Goes both ways. You say he should turn on the light first and see it is down? Shouldn’t SHE turn on the light to ee that it is up? This is one of those “darned if you do, darned if you don’t” scenarios.

“I’m not gonna debate you, Jerry.”

Name the movie, win a prize.

So when are they selling face recognition based toilet seat which opens/closes automatically based on who comes in? It would solve all this problem! It could even automatically play music or sound for those who would like “the sound” masked.

Maybe Gumbo thought it was in the way of his midnight lap.

We discovered that the public toilets in Italy have no seats. Eww.

Next let’s discuss which way to hang the toilet paper!!

The ghost is named Adam. Coincidence? I think not.

Could just leave the seat down and pee over it.

Unless Adam is on his knees, that is one tall toilet!

Adam’s talking out of his @ss.

I always put the seat down and close the lid before I flush. Flushing aerosolizes the water, and contents of the toilet bowl and expels it out in to the air. It can be measured. Mythbusters did a program about this. We all live in a cloud of poo.

I’m the only male and I still check if the seat is down before I sit! C’mon Laura get with the program!

My mother always wanted the seat to be up by default, that way she knew it was less likely to ever be wet in the unwanted manner. Men always put the seat down when they need to sit, women should as well.

I’m thinking elves…or else aliens!

They are either really short or they got their toilet at the big and tall shop.

I solved that problem, 2 bathrooms, one up and one down.

My Toto in the master bath automatically opens the lid (seat on button press) when you walk up to it. Then puts seat down and shuts lid 25 seconds after last motion detected.

It’s great, but makes me careless in the the other, less advanced, bathrooms in the house.

Boy, they make this guy so stupid……ain’t funny McGee!

There were five males and one female growing up in our house. My bride said she was happy to find the seat up. She figured it hadn’t been whizzed on.

Couch won’t be empty for a whole week this month.

That toilet seems awfully high.

The Toilet Ghost is not to be confused with the Toilet Monster, who gets little kids when they have to get up to go during the night. It is possible that one is safe until the toilet is flushed, but then a very quick exit from the bathroom is necessary before the now-awakened Monster comes up to get its victim.

My Mom always told us kids to close the lid when we were done. So, as C noted above, ya just need to look before you sit.

Took more time to complain than to put the seat down

I knew this comic strip would resort to toilet humor some day.
