Toilet seat belongs down - and the lid with it! It’s not only logical, but also just.
The thing is, at least in our household, the lid has to stay up.
I actually thought as you do, as that would be a perfect compromise, both parties would have to work to use the toilet.
But from what I’m told, is the late night half asleep moments where you forget to put the seat down, and you fall down into the toilet, that is being prevented by making sure the seats always down and the lid is always up.
It’s a low hanging fruit way of maritial bliss, so I go with it.
Flushing a toilet, yes, as far as I’m aware, any toilet, regardless of the design, creates an aerosolized mist containing small particles of fecal matter. So, every time you flush a toilet with the lid open, you are covering your bathroom and everything in it in a microscopic layer of shit… enjoy brushing your teeth later.
That makes no sense to me tbh. If you are trained to keep the lid down, you are alerted immediately that something is off if the seat is up - you clearly see into the toilet and see that someone forgot to put it down.
If you are trained to only have the seat down and lid up, then the change between seat up and down is not significant enough to notice and stop muscle memory to sit and fall in.
Maybe I’m not understanding you but lid down is a foolproof way to not fall in from my perspective. My wife converted to the lid down way and doesn’t complain

My wife always forgets when she gets up in the middle of the night, and falls in, or sits on the lid and has to get up and put the lit up and seat down herself.
So she asks me to always make sure to put the seat down for her, something that I’m happy to do, as a happy wife is a happy life.
So you can have the lid down while seat is up? Then what you said before makes much more sense. Though not sure what purpose this feature brings. Or how that would even lool like, never seen anything like that.

Are you trying to be purposely obtuse, or intellectually dishonest?
Or are you trying to let me know I have a typo somewhere in one of my earlier comments, without actually explicitly saying so?
Or do you have a magic toilet where urine can pass through the lid when its down?
You said your lid and seat are totally independent - suggesting you can leave the seat up but close the lid. Idk what toilet you have but if I want to close the lid, it is impossible to not put the seat down. It’s like saying to turn a page on a book while leaving the current page visible - it’s impossible.
Anyway this is completely stupid conversation at this point. Definitely didn’t have malicious intentions or being stupid (or maybe I’m being stupid, stupid people rarely know they are stupid). I feel like I’m being trolled myself tbh. So lets just shake our headsbin unison and carry on.

Lid down so the flush spray is mostly contained is enough reason, no?
We never have that problem in our household. 🤷
We have a toilet that flushes in the front to the back in a jet, there’s never any splash.
Where the falling in problem tends to reoccur, if not prevented.

Actually our bathroom sink is outside of the bathroom toilet, with a door seperating them. 🤷

It’s less about the splash and more about the microscopic sprays of faecal bacteria. You don’t want that E. Coli on your toothbrush.

Seat is down if thenlid is down. But whatever works for you and your wife!
Our lid is seperate from the seat. One can be

You consider lid down to be foolproof, but I’d say seat down is also foolproof if your eyes aren’t absolutely horrible.
