I’m willing to consider many a different point of view but if you want the toilet seat up there is no room for compromise! Yes I’m a guy with all the equipment in the right place (last I checked) and I still demand the toilet seat down. For it takes less then a second or two for our shooting requirements and nobody wants to look at this water (except Spot). Just think about what could be escaping after we’ve done our business even with a flush, have you heard of germs? Maybe it’s my Caitlyn side but leaving the toilet seat up is just plain nasty, so why do so many woman perform this “manly act”? I guess in a sense we all want to upset the opposite sex even if we’re acting in opposition to our parts.
