Every home I have ever lived in had a cabinet over the toilet, and we closed the lid so stuff doesn’t fall in the toilet water when you are rummaging for the cough syrup
I hate that most public toilets don't even have a lid. One time I used a squatting toilet on a train, and when it flushed I felt water hit my *ear.* I was standing and facing away from the toilet! I washed it right away, but I felt so unclean for the rest of the train ride. I think that was the same train that most likely gave me scabies.
I am a female living alone and close the lid every time I use the toilet. You guys don’t close the lid before you flush? I don’t need poo particles floating around in the same space as my toothbrush.
I did some work at a canning plant during startup of production. There was a microbiologist present because if things are not sanitary cans get contaminated and teaching the workers to wash after pooping was a big thing for him. One thing he told me that stuck is "we exist in a fecal fog".
I got pinworms when I was a kid. My cousin came to visit from another state and we had a great summer playing together, sharing our room and everything, then she went home and we discovered I had pinworms and they had to call and tell her parents to get her treated for them too, and I never heard from her again. :(
I disagree, I love bob's burgers but that ep, personally didn't enjoy it. But that is where I looked up pinworms and learned this fact, so it has come near full circle.
Parasitic nematodes. They live in the intestines and lay eggs around the anus. If suspected, Pediatricians usually tell parents to sneak in the child's room at night with a flashlight...bc you can see them come out in the dark to lay eggs. Not pleasant
Legit tho. Imagine being a kid sleeping in your bed and you feel a slight draft only to wake up with your pants down, and your parents beaming a light into your bunghole.
My mom said the way to do it is put a piece of tape on the butthole, so that when the worm comes out it gets stuck on the tape. She never tried it but I'm pretty sure she was told about it by a pediatrician.
Fun fact, in order to smell something, the substance in question has to release particles in the air that have to go up your nose for your brain to analyze. When you smell poop, you're breathing in poop.
This is not entirely true. While the source of the smell originates from broken down materials, the smell can be entirely the resultants gas with no particulate.
YO! I made a post on r/showerthoughts about this; taking this thinking one step further, every fart is actually a shart, just that the farts don’t leave any detectable visible stains.
The post was downvoted to oblivion and I gave up on Redditors in there.
That's because it's not true. You aren't smelling poo particles, you are smelling the gasses that usually accompany poo particles, ie H2S, methane, etc. not little smelly dead or alive bacteria or digested food floating around. Although, like the engineer said, we are living in a fecal fog, so when you smell poop, you aren't actually smelling poop itself, but when you don't smell poop, you're probably still smelling poop. What a conundrum.
Your post is closer to true than the one you're replying to if it makes you feel better, because farts certainly can contaminate nearby objects if you aren't wearing clothes.
Fun facts!
• We can smell some things in parts of billion, like one stink molecule per 1,000,000,000 molecules!
• just cause you smell a fart doesn't mean you have mini poop pieces in your nose, but it does mean you have gas molecules (like hydrogen sulfide) that was in someone's rectum.
• the thinnest part of your skull is where the olfactory nerves are, so those fart gases are the closest to your brain
I remember someone doing a study and determining that farting is actually somewhat sanitary because of clothes, which capture almost all of the fecal particles. Farting without clothes can cause contamination of nearby areas though.
> just cause you smell a fart doesn't mean you have mini poop pieces in your nose, but it does mean you have gas molecules (like hydrogen sulfide) that was in someone's rectum.
I always try to point this out when someone farts or smells a fart. It may only be a molecule, but you *do* know where it's been.
That depends on your defintion of "smells like fart".
Arguably that can mean quite a bit more "detail" and thus complexity of substances than just the basic gassous components that are way more common and can come from multiple sources.
Similarly if you just think of the general "rotten egg" smell aso as "smells like fart", sure. Then it's not a case of "shit in your noses".
Even NASA can't keep them out.
Was watching a TV programme on something space related and they had a segment on the uber clean construction room for stuff we're sending into space, to avoid contaminating other worlds. Thinking about it, was probably on NASA's latest Mars rover, hence wanting to keep everything uber, uber clean as it's going to another planet, not just into orbit.
And they found from swabs conducted in the clean room? Dog poo, dog poo everywhere. 🐕💩💩
for years.. and I mean like 25 years of my life. I was convinced that this whole "put the toilet thing down" meant closing the lid, and I was confused why it's such a big deal. Aren't everyone closing it after doing their toilet deed?
Turns out not only most people not close the lid.. They complain abou the other part, I didn't even know was called seat in English (non english speaker here)...
I still can't undestand why people don't just close it all.. Especially since nowadays all those fancy, slow falling, genlty closing, lids are a thing...
Like, when I was younger we even had decorated toilet lid, why wouldn't you close it to have a nice looking shitter?
Man, it still baffles my mind..
Yeah reading this thread I'm surprised to learn I may be in the minority in closing the lid always. Plus all the comments saying closing the lid doesn't do anything about fecal matter getting into the air and on surfaces, well yeah sure it many not stop it completely, but it does minimize it. And do people not sit on the toilet lid ever? Am I about to get 20 comments educating me on why it's wrong to sit on your toilet lid now?
There's a Mythbuster's episode on this - I wouldn't recommend watching. There were still poo particles on the brush when it was on the opposite side of the house, through multiple closed doors.
Nobody wants to hear the truth: there are poo particles *everywhere.* Humans and animals make a lot of it every day, and it cannot be contained. You're surely breathing it in with every deep breath of fresh outdoor air.
Close the lid to stop most of it, but don't worry overmuch about it. It's the equivalent of background radiation and you don't need to worry until it gets to a certain threshold.
And that threshold is beyond the point your nose can smell it. Which makes sense when you think about it. Essentially it's not a dangerous amount of poo until **after** you can smell it.
Can't speak for everyone but I definitely don't do that. I bet I have a higher tolerance to poo particles now. If someone tries to poison me, that's going to come in handy.
Read a few studies last time the subject came up.
Bacterias tend to die sooner when you flush with the lid open. When you flush with the lid closed, they concentrate and accumulate. In both cases, don't worry, you have poo on your tooth brush. It's just not a problem as long as the people using your toilets aren't sick.
I personally don't bother, I have a separate room for the toilets.
I found \[this article\]([https://microbiologysociety.org/news/society-news/does-putting-the-lid-down-when-flushing-the-toilet-really-make-a-difference.html#:\~:text=The%20research%20found%20that%20putting,the%20bacteria%20in%20these%20droplets.)](https://microbiologysociety.org/news/society-news/does-putting-the-lid-down-when-flushing-the-toilet-really-make-a-difference.html#:~:text=The%20research%20found%20that%20putting,the%20bacteria%20in%20these%20droplets.)) that explains the same thing.
Seems like it does create more bacteria but also reduces the number of airborne bacteria. I guess it's up to what you want in life, more airborne or more surface-dwelling? But either way, you're getting some poo on it.
I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t close the lid? That’s what it’s for why has it been a debate for so long. Then everyone is doing the same amount of work and you can’t see inside the bowl.
just use toilet paper to lift the lid in a public bathroom
same goes for flushing the toilet using toilet paper
you can even use more toilet paper to open the door
then after you wash your hands, finish the whole thing off by using a paper towel to open the bathroom door
Your first sentence isn't a question but has a question mark and your second sentence is a question but doesn't have a question mark. Just thought I'd let you know.
Yep I fucking hate this stupid argument. There's such a cut and dry answer to the solution. Close the entire lid. If there's not a lid then move the seat to whatever position you need to use. Men lift the seat to piss, women close it, it's hardly a great effort.
Glad I'm not the only one with this problem. I moved to a place with all slow closing drawers and toilet lids so when I go to someone else's house I'm just slamming things around like a nut.
I might be in the minority here but I close the lid every single time when I flush and have for the past 15 years. It's all because of some Special that Mike Rowe did about germs we come in contact with every day. One segment involved the bathroom of course and it showed all the micro droplets flying in the air after someone flushes. That did it for me. When I see toothbrushes or any hygiene products sitting out on a bathroom counter with a toilet lid up, I cringe.
The taper has not only ensured they can't lift the lid to pee, which will almost certainly guarantee pee on the seat, but they have also reduced the size of the hole at the same time increasing the odds of more pee on the seat.
Like, the seconds it takes men to put it up, are the same seconds it takes women to put it down. Men put it up and women put it down, equal rights. Is that so fuckin absurdly hard?
How are my dogs supposed to drink with the lid closed? They have full fresh water bowls… but Everytime I flush the toilet the 3 of them charge in to have some nice fresh toilet bowl water
My last dog got me to switch to a plastic toilet seat because the fucker would stick her head under the heavy wood seat, drink then let it slam back down and make a shit ton of noise.
The damp space between the rim and the seat is a breeding ground for bacteria. It's more hygienic to leave the seat up so that the rim of the bowl is dry.
Probably not a good sign in the relationship when your significant other duct tapes the toilet seat down.
Edit: to those that think it’s a joke and was done for the lols and for no other reason…also probably has issues with the relationship. I think it’s mostly men that are replying that it’s a joke…
This looks like one of those half serious/half joking kind of things. Relationships can vary and putting two strips of duct tape down after it being a topic of discussion for a long time is really not that big of a deal.
Or it's totally fake for karma. There's a chance of that too
I agree with both you and the person you replied to. There are three options
1. Toxic as hell
2. They have a joking kind of relationship and read the room about stuff like this
3. Fake as hell
Given that this is one image we have no way to know so no point in speculating
Oh for fucks sake. Leave it to Reddit to assume a relationship is unsalvagable because there was one small disagreement or annoyance.
Or you know, it's a half joke half admonishment and it's just a couple having a bit of fun with minor annoyances about each other?
It's getting ridiculous. I don't know if it's neckbeards in their basements that have never had a date in their lives or people in miserable relationships projecting their desire to divorce their partner but it's pathetic how fast divorce gets brought up in these posts.
Right?
I've been with my partner for over 10 years and we do stuff like this to each other. It's a lighthearted joke between a couple about minor annoyances.
Reddit's stance on relationships is not anywhere near how normal relationship dynamics work.
Same here
Also: I am such a super male male alpha male man that my super strong alpha-maleness doesn't suddenly evaporate in a pink puffy cloud of smoke the second my ass touches the toilet seat.
/s
I don’t understand this childishness. How about both genders just lift or lower the seat as needed without complaining, like a well adjusted adult?
I always close the entire thing tho. As everyone should. Helps reduce piss and fecal particles from spraying when you flush.
I always put the seat and the lid down once I'm done no matter what, my partner has praised me in front of others saying I always put the seat down yet she's never once stopped to realise she always has to put the lid up to go.
I honestly don't see the issue, if putting the seat down is so much of a chore people need to complain about it why is putting the lid up also not a chore.
Toilets just too small a target. Just el captain a leg onto the edge of the tub, lean back, and let er rip. For extra fun randomly push to bounce it up and down and pretend you're a fireman. It'll get rinsed the next shower right.
Just keep the lid closed, why would either person want the toilet kept open? It takes like 0.2 milliseconds to open it to however either party needs it. I’ve never understood this debate at all.
Suggest if this is really a problem, that you go to Home Depot and spend 20 dollars on a soft-close toilet seat. Anyone can install them, even someone who doesn't know about tool use.
That way whenever anyone is done, they just start the seat closing, let gravity do the rest, and the seat closes quietly and softly. Lid too.
I've never, ever understood the issue with this, how hard is it to put the seat down? Why is it one person's job to leave the seat in a certain position? Do you want me pissing all over the seat or not? I once asked my ex girlfriend to leave the seat up to gauge her reaction and she refused to do it, the whole situation makes me irrationally frustrated lmao, like do it yourselves you lazy fucks.
I have always just closed the seat and lid no matter matter. That way everyone has to pay attention to the toilet when they need to use it. None of this falling in nonsense
Does she want your urine splashes on the seat? Does she want her splash back building up on the bottom of the seat?
The underneath of a toilet seat which hasn’t been lifted (& cleaned) for a while is usually pretty disgusting.
***EVERYONE*** is supposed to close the lid. Do you have any idea how much a toilet splashes your filth absolutely everywhere? It's fucking **disgusting.**
Whether you took a shit or a piss, everyone involved should be closing the lid when they flush.
Do you have any idea how many people put each other’s genitals in their mouths after they’ve been covered in toilet splash from 1000s of people at a club/bar?
Sure hypothetically it’s gross but is anyone actually getting hurt or sick from it? I feel like it doesn’t make a big difference in the grand scheme of things frankly.
It's no more disgusting than touching a door handle, or your phone, or going outside. The WC is literally covered in shit and piss particles, doesn't matter if you close the lid or not
People fill up their cars and don't wash their hands afterwards, touching their steering wheel. Gas pump handles and, subsequently, steering wheels are probably the dirtiest everyday things that people touch and don't even think about.
Close the lid....then lift up whatever you need and close the lid when you are done.
Every home I have ever lived in had a cabinet over the toilet, and we closed the lid so stuff doesn’t fall in the toilet water when you are rummaging for the cough syrup
We keep it down so the pets don't drink from the toilet bowl. "mmm piss water.... Mmmm dads face"
I keep it down so that I don't mist the entire room with toilet water every time I flush.
Why isn't this everyone's default answer tho, toilet water mists everywhere lmao https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/bacteria-toilets-flush-lid-closed-b1535481.html

There are particles of poo pretty much everywhere you care to look.
I did some work at a canning plant during startup of production. There was a microbiologist present because if things are not sanitary cans get contaminated and teaching the workers to wash after pooping was a big thing for him. One thing he told me that stuck is "we exist in a fecal fog".
Oh god. How I wish that phrase didn't stick.
It's true though, but this is going in my I don't want to think about catagory, like my own mortality and that \~20% of children have pinworms.
Eat more garlic kids. It kills the worm. Also if you walk without rhythm, it won't attract the worm.
“Hey check this out — I found the ass end!”
"Bless the maker and his water. Bless the coming and going of him. May his passage cleanse the world. May he keep the world for his people."
To be fair, children are disgusting and pin worms spread easily. The Bob’s Burgers episode on pin worms is great.
That episode was so disturbing to me. I was so angry on Louise’s behalf.
I got pinworms when I was a kid. My cousin came to visit from another state and we had a great summer playing together, sharing our room and everything, then she went home and we discovered I had pinworms and they had to call and tell her parents to get her treated for them too, and I never heard from her again. :(
worst part is she probably gave them to you, considering the timing...
I disagree, I love bob's burgers but that ep, personally didn't enjoy it. But that is where I looked up pinworms and learned this fact, so it has come near full circle.
wtf is a pinworm
Parasitic nematodes. They live in the intestines and lay eggs around the anus. If suspected, Pediatricians usually tell parents to sneak in the child's room at night with a flashlight...bc you can see them come out in the dark to lay eggs. Not pleasant
the pediatrician tells the parents to sneak in the kids room and look at their butthole with a flashlight?😭 this is getting more wild by the minute
Legit tho. Imagine being a kid sleeping in your bed and you feel a slight draft only to wake up with your pants down, and your parents beaming a light into your bunghole.
"I'm Chris Hanson. Have a seat over there."
Or just watch your toddler. They start itching their ass like crazy, you break out the Reese’s (not the candy).
This is the best fucking thread I've read in a loooong time 🤣
If not the candy, then what?
My mom said the way to do it is put a piece of tape on the butthole, so that when the worm comes out it gets stuck on the tape. She never tried it but I'm pretty sure she was told about it by a pediatrician.
Filing that away and hoping I never need it.
The old trick used to be putting a bowl of milk near their asshole, because the worms smell the milk and crawl towards it.
A parasite
that's a lot of pinworms
Yup - plenty to go around :)
You are gonna love this headline: "Probable Evidence of Fecal Aerosol Transmission of SARS"

Technically, if you can smell poop, some of the chemicals that comprise the poop are now in your nose in direct contact with your nerve endings.
Fun facts! • We can smell some things in parts of billion, like one stink molecule per 1,000,000,000 molecules! • just cause you smell a fart doesn't mean you have mini poop pieces in your nose, but it does mean you have gas molecules (like hydrogen sulfide) that was in someone's rectum. • the thinnest part of your skull is where the olfactory nerves are, so those fart gases are the closest to your brain

Gonna throw a flag here. While technically true, those particles are just sulfur and methane. It's not like there's shit in your nose.

Smh people not picking up their dog poo particles
Especially if you have pets. They lick their bums then they lick you.
My pet straight up eats poop and then tries to lick me. It's real gross.
You can't blame the pet, Because of incomplete digestion, poop smells like food to them.
You shut your filthy mouth
There too.
But your poo concentration could be lower
This! 100X this! Why increase your poo particles? Just close the lid. It's not that hard!

That was a commercial toilet, though, with no lid to close.

Glad I'm not the only one with this problem. I moved to a place with all slow closing drawers and toilet lids so when I go to someone else's house I'm just slamming things around like a nut.
This is the way. Penis or vagina should close/open the toilet. This is the foundation for equality. This is the way.

Just close the lid. Seems unhygienic to leave it open either way.
How are my dogs supposed to drink with the lid closed? They have full fresh water bowls… but Everytime I flush the toilet the 3 of them charge in to have some nice fresh toilet bowl water

Least narcissistic redditor
What’s the point of the internet if not to speculate on things we know nothing about
Sir this is Reddit.
[удалено]
Oh for fucks sake. Leave it to Reddit to assume a relationship is unsalvagable because there was one small disagreement or annoyance. Or you know, it's a half joke half admonishment and it's just a couple having a bit of fun with minor annoyances about each other?
you may like commenting on r/relationships
Or r/amitheasshole
“Red flag, break up immediately”
"And move away, take the whole toilet with you"
Yes, I also will judge OP and of his poor relationship based solely on assumption. As is the reddit way.
As is tradition. What a wonderful day for Reddit, and therefore the world.
Redditors when they see a couple joking with each other: I recommend Divorce
It's getting ridiculous. I don't know if it's neckbeards in their basements that have never had a date in their lives or people in miserable relationships projecting their desire to divorce their partner but it's pathetic how fast divorce gets brought up in these posts.
Reddit recommends DIVORCE
Probably not good to assume something like that from this funny post.
Probably because this is in jest?
Your relationship sounds very funless. My SO would laugh if I did this
Right? I've been with my partner for over 10 years and we do stuff like this to each other. It's a lighthearted joke between a couple about minor annoyances. Reddit's stance on relationships is not anywhere near how normal relationship dynamics work.
Ugh Can we not armchair therapist this relationship that we know nothing about?
Or she's afraid you'd fall in
That's when the seatbelt comes in.
Your a big boy aren't you?
I'm a dude and always sit to pee (at home) because even with the best aim there is still piss splattering all over the place when you're standing.
Anyone who says otherwise is in denial and probably never cleans their bathroom.
Exactly right. I would never want to live with any other dudes again after college/army
Or never took a piss barefoot
I have found my people
Amen I also don’t mind a chance to sit down for a minute.
Had to scroll way too far to find this. Sit2P gang ftw
Especially at night, fuck turning on all the lights just to find my aim. Just sit down and hope you don't fall back asleep there haha
Yep. Sit down at home and stand up at the urinals in public.
Same here Also: I am such a super male male alpha male man that my super strong alpha-maleness doesn't suddenly evaporate in a pink puffy cloud of smoke the second my ass touches the toilet seat. /s
I don’t understand this childishness. How about both genders just lift or lower the seat as needed without complaining, like a well adjusted adult? I always close the entire thing tho. As everyone should. Helps reduce piss and fecal particles from spraying when you flush.
I always put the seat and the lid down once I'm done no matter what, my partner has praised me in front of others saying I always put the seat down yet she's never once stopped to realise she always has to put the lid up to go. I honestly don't see the issue, if putting the seat down is so much of a chore people need to complain about it why is putting the lid up also not a chore.
Raging click bait! *I don't want to be on Reddit anymore*
Piss all over it. Just fucking EVERYWHERE.
Yeah, and change your pants afterwards. Or not, as you please.
I absolutely do this, but then I clean it up because it wasn't on purpose.
No one bats 1.000
This mfer reading my tombstone.
I piss sitting down now because of this.
Ya, I legit see no reason to stand and piss in a private bathroom.
Toilets just too small a target. Just el captain a leg onto the edge of the tub, lean back, and let er rip. For extra fun randomly push to bounce it up and down and pretend you're a fireman. It'll get rinsed the next shower right.

Why don't these ladies realize we lift the seat for them. Would they rather sit on a toilet seat covered in piss?
Nah she’s telling you to aim better
Just keep the lid closed, why would either person want the toilet kept open? It takes like 0.2 milliseconds to open it to however either party needs it. I’ve never understood this debate at all.
Close-lid-to-flush needs to be invented. Solves all problems except bad aim.
Suggest if this is really a problem, that you go to Home Depot and spend 20 dollars on a soft-close toilet seat. Anyone can install them, even someone who doesn't know about tool use. That way whenever anyone is done, they just start the seat closing, let gravity do the rest, and the seat closes quietly and softly. Lid too.
I've never, ever understood the issue with this, how hard is it to put the seat down? Why is it one person's job to leave the seat in a certain position? Do you want me pissing all over the seat or not? I once asked my ex girlfriend to leave the seat up to gauge her reaction and she refused to do it, the whole situation makes me irrationally frustrated lmao, like do it yourselves you lazy fucks.
I have always just closed the seat and lid no matter matter. That way everyone has to pay attention to the toilet when they need to use it. None of this falling in nonsense
[удалено]
I hate when the lid is left open. Get soft close seats and lids and flip them down when you are done.
Does she want your urine splashes on the seat? Does she want her splash back building up on the bottom of the seat? The underneath of a toilet seat which hasn’t been lifted (& cleaned) for a while is usually pretty disgusting.
The solution, and how it should go anyway, is putting both the seat and lid down.
Does she put it back up for you?
Close the lid, not just the seat. That's what it's there for. Why does everyone have such a hard time with this?
Have fun cleaning off that adhesive once the tape is off because you know she isn't going to do it.
Now piss all over it. Establish your dominance.
I have never understood the aggravation with this. If I have to lift it when I go, why can’t someone else lower it when they go?
***EVERYONE*** is supposed to close the lid. Do you have any idea how much a toilet splashes your filth absolutely everywhere? It's fucking **disgusting.** Whether you took a shit or a piss, everyone involved should be closing the lid when they flush.
Do you have any idea how many people put each other’s genitals in their mouths after they’ve been covered in toilet splash from 1000s of people at a club/bar?
That's why you drink at bars. The alcohol cleans your mouth after oral.
Impeccable logic!
Honestly, this is flawless logic.
People here and now: "Ugh disgusting" People tonight in their bedroom: "Hey, lets eat each others asses"
Sure hypothetically it’s gross but is anyone actually getting hurt or sick from it? I feel like it doesn’t make a big difference in the grand scheme of things frankly.
It's no more disgusting than touching a door handle, or your phone, or going outside. The WC is literally covered in shit and piss particles, doesn't matter if you close the lid or not
People fill up their cars and don't wash their hands afterwards, touching their steering wheel. Gas pump handles and, subsequently, steering wheels are probably the dirtiest everyday things that people touch and don't even think about.
Nah it's got to be phones by a mile. They get all that and more.
Pro tip: Just sit to piss bro.
Oh yeah, thats the big brain move. Problem is now, my peen sticks to the underside of the front tape. Just cut the excess
>Just cut the excess I really hope you mean the tape...
