    1. Men, women, and everyone in between and between all sit at some point when using the toilet.
    2. It’s unsanitary to flush with the lid up.

      It doesn’t make any difference if you flush with the lid up. Poop particles will still go everywhere, even if the lid is down. There was a study on it that came out earlier this year.

      The most efficient thing to do is leave the toilet seat the way it is when you’re done. Minimal effort.

      The most fair thing to do, oddly, is to leave the seat in the opposite position it was when you got there; everybody flips it once, it may be before or after you use it. Fair.

      It’s unsanitary to flush with the lid up.

      I’m in this camp though, so it’s always left down.

        I’ll remember this one, I love it when people are actually logical about things.

        Reminds me of canal locks. The etiquette is to always close the doors after you leave, and people get angry when you don’t. But it’s infuriating because it actually creates more work for everyone. If you leave the doors closed then the next person always has to stop their boat to open them, but if you leave them open there’s a 50% chance the correct set of doors is open for the next person to sail right in. If you’re in the unlucky 50% it makes no difference, because you had to stop to empty the lock anyway and afterwards you get to sail off without closing them.

        People also think closing them saves water, which is another can of people-not-understanding-physics worms.
