Should the Toilet Seat Be Put Down?
The eternal debate threatening household peace
This debate, endlessly repeated among couples and families worldwide, extends beyond simple habits into the realm of 'consideration' and 'fairness.'
The put-it-down team emphasizes hygiene and courtesy, while the leave-it-up team argues that everyone adjusting it for their own needs is fair. This fight may never have a winner.
Both Sides
1
Down: Prevents germ spread for hygiene
2
Up is fine: Everyone adjusts before using
3
Down: Sitting without looking at night is a disaster
4
Up is fine: Only one side always making effort is unfair
Pros
- ✓ Closing the lid prevents germ spray when flushing
- ✓ A clean look makes the bathroom more aesthetic
- ✓ It is basic courtesy for the next person
Cons
- ✗ Only the person lifting it having to move twice is unfair
- ✗ Each person adjusting to their needed position is rational
- ✗ Automatic toilet seats solve this entire debate
