maybe this'll help, Scarlett; the only thing that makes me put the seat down (and I lower the whole lid, not just the seat) was a little fact I learned from Readers Digest some time ago. The simple fact is this:

Toilets will splash contaminated water up to SIX FEET AWAY when flushed with the lid open.

get out a tape measure; how far away is your sink? your hairbrush? your TOOTHBRUSH! good god its enough to make you sick.

but now, my wife bitches about 'always having to lift the lid'. this compaining occurs with roughly the same frequency that the 'put the damn seat down' argument happened, despite the fact that its impossible to acheive splashdown when the lid is closed. so is it really because you're getting your bum wet that you complain? or is it an inherent part of being female?
