How about everyone just leave the seat however the fuck they want because it's a trivial issue?

Happypants · 2013-06-21T22:14:28+00:00

Maybe look before you go plopping your butts on any old hole.

Raudskeggr · 2013-06-22T03:51:16+00:00

I never understood why this was a contentious issue. It doesn't bother me when I come across a toilet seat that's down. I take the .5 seconds required to move it to the desired position.

Likewise, If a toilet seat is up and i'm doing a number two, again I will simply move it to the desired position with no fuss or need to be concerned.

Why a few women (not sure how many, but I don't think it's even most women) think that it's somehow this grevious barbaric offense to leave the seat up is entirely beyond my ability to comprehend.

The rationale of falling in just strikes me as bizarre. Don't people look? I always look. Even if I'm not sitting down I look to make sure the seat is up first. These women who are constantly falling in must be backing up to the toilet like semi trucks with no rear-view mirrors or something.

I just don't understand why this is so bothersome. It's something that is absolutely meaningless to me in the course of my daily routine.

Sovereign_Individual · 2013-06-21T20:37:19+00:00

Everyone should just close it completely if that's the option. You should close the very top before you flush. If you leave it open when you flush it pushes lots of germs into the air.

Ding_batman · 2013-06-22T01:42:46+00:00

My old workplace had a uni sex toilet. There were about 15 women and 3 men. In a general staff meeting something about the toilet came up. I thought it was the perfect time to request that people put the seat back up when finished. One of the guys laughed and a couple of the women. The rest of the women gave me frosty looks and wouldn't talk to me for a few days. Best few days I ever had.

TRAUMAjunkie · 2013-06-21T21:15:15+00:00

Dear female staff, be grateful we pick up the seat in the first place.

KyoskeMikashi · 2013-06-22T03:42:59+00:00

This why I shit on the ceiling

XDingoX83 · 2013-06-22T03:04:47+00:00

I never understood how women have so many fucking problems with toilet seats. It's not hard to see that the seat is up and they have to put it down prior to pissing. Really how fucking stupid do you have to be to fall in a toilet because you were too lazy to look.

AlexReynard · 2013-06-22T02:14:28+00:00

And this is why I still shit into a chrome bedpan and toss it out the window onto the Irish.

GrimB0LD · 2013-06-21T22:40:20+00:00

Scenario: Female puts toilet seat up when she's finished. Some time later, another female worker arrives and finds that the seat is up. Blames male workers for not leaving it down. Everyone freaks the fuck out over a trivial issue.

Wolf_Protagonist · 2013-06-22T12:13:34+00:00

I have only ever sat on a toilet with the lid up once. That was all it took for me to start checking every single time.

It seems like since women have to sit for every transaction, it wouldn't be hard for them to remember.

notnotnotfred · 2013-06-22T00:35:37+00:00

put the lid down too, limit poopasol (that's the aerosolized poop spray that results when you flush)

2013-06-21T21:43:44+00:00

Ah sweet gender equality.

jay212127 · 2013-06-22T02:42:53+00:00

Pissing With the Lid Down makes pissing increase a difficulty level and Habitually wipe the seat off after use.

complaints about my habit approach near zero, and the habit of checking and cleaning the seat has saved my own buttocks from someone's carelessness.

rvaen · 2013-06-22T03:18:08+00:00

Dear everyone, please read the future and leave the seat appropriately. Barring that, please find more ways to insert passive aggressive nonsense into our workplace. Thanks a million.

evilbrent · 2013-06-22T01:15:30+00:00

I tried once to use the line "why can't women ever, just once, just to be polite, leave it up for the next person?"

She didn't think it was funny.

VortexCortex · 2013-06-22T01:01:23+00:00

Telling indeed. A trivial thing which should be a non issue: The state of a seat prior or after using a toilet. Yet, it remains an issue worthy of discussion simply because females generally prefer a seat to be in a certain position.

Imagine the ridiculousness that would ensue would that folks had preferential treatment among political spheres.

TheToeSnail · 2013-06-22T04:02:18+00:00

I like how they fixed their bad formatting/grammar at the end in the parody too.

scanspeak · 2013-06-22T09:06:55+00:00

Toilet seat up or down? First-world problems.

Shermanpk · 2013-06-22T09:56:50+00:00

After way too much thought I have come to the conclusion that if each party leaves the seat and lid down everyone dose the same amount of work as they require.

Females have to lift the lid. Males have to lift the lid and seat.

RyanLikesyoface · 2013-06-22T11:19:36+00:00

I once had a girl complain about me leaving the seat up at my own house.. I still don't get how this is a thing. It's kind of funny that so many women take it so seriously too, it's not going to kill you putting the seat down.

slinkyman98 · 2013-06-22T16:03:57+00:00

I will never understand the seat thing. Just put it down if someone lifts it up. Do you not look at the toilet before sitting down? Hate it when people bitch about this.

castellar · 2013-06-22T01:55:51+00:00

I'm done with this subreddit. About 5% of the time someone posts something interesting and important. The rest of the time all you see is menial bullshit or misogynous rants. This subreddit is doing next to nothing for Men's Rights despite the name and there's no real reason to be subscribed, unless you subscribe to the "Hurr durr women are sexist and I hate them" bullshit, too. Seriously, the active participants in this subreddit need to take a good hard look at what they say they're doing and what they're doing in actuality, because in actuality it's childish and hurting the real cause of Men's Rights. Grow up.

Theophagist · 2013-06-22T06:23:15+00:00

The core of this isn't even the toilet or the lid. Whoever printed the sign feels that she and other women are entitled to having the seat exactly the way she wants it.

Every time you turn around they are demanding agency and calling it equality.

naderslovechild · 2013-06-22T09:42:21+00:00

If I didn't sit down to pee I'd leave the seat up HOPING someone would fall in. Seriously, if you're that dense, you deserve to fall in the shitter for my amusement.

kevinwayne · 2013-06-22T08:45:16+00:00

Females have a "Staff," too? /s

Mytecacc · 2013-06-22T13:15:09+00:00

because mens rights is really about toilet seats?

M1s4n7hr0p3 · 2013-06-22T13:19:47+00:00

Am I the only one here who doesn't bother with the seat? Urinary marksmanship FTW. And if you get it on the seat you grab a square and wipe it up. I don't get why this is such a hot button issue between genders. In any case, a lot of the women who use public restrooms (unisex or otherwise) don't even make contact with the seat to begin with due to this rampant germaphobic bullshit.

2013-06-22T14:01:42+00:00

I discovered a girlfriend was entertaining another male when her 8-year-old daughter accused me of leaving the seat up on a prior visit - I never do. So when I responded that it wasn't me, she suddenly realized she'd betrayed mom. LOL!! By the way, that woman had been abused by virtually every male she dated and/or married (3x) - but not me.

That girlfriend called me 17 years later and we had a conversation leading to a date, which got canceled. She was just as difficult to reason with as ever, so we parted again.

2013-06-22T14:15:15+00:00

My stock response to this is always: "I'm sorry you've lost the use of your arms"

mrdoink20 · 2013-06-22T15:09:24+00:00

You know, if we just made the toilet hole smaller and made it part of the toilet without a hinge, this petty shit wouldn't happen. Just a lid you know? Who needs a fucking hinged toilet seat? Why doesn't everyone just fucking sit down? WHY DOESN'T EVERYONE JUST FUCKING STAND UP?

truth-informant · 2013-06-22T18:38:26+00:00

That workplace uses co-ed toilets?

nc863id · 2013-06-22T03:38:50+00:00

This is a perfect microcosm of the MRM as a whole. We're more than happy to put the seat down out of consideration for you, just put it up of consideration for ours in return.

SERIUOSLY, PEOPLE lol.

anarchists_R_vermin · 2013-06-22T10:35:20+00:00

The workplace doesn't get it right because it should have separate bathrooms for men and women.

outcastded · 2013-06-22T12:40:38+00:00

Bring the downvotes, I guess..

As a guy, I promote sitting always. That is more comfortable, it's cleaner, and easier to use toilet-paper afterwards. This is made for standing.

rapscallionx · 2013-06-21T23:42:22+00:00

I pee on toilet seats i know women will use just to spite them >:D

scottsouth · 2013-06-22T06:58:31+00:00

Wrong. That's too equal. Equal rights only applies when women are being treated unfairly, not when men are being treated unfairly.

3rdfloorrowdy · 2013-06-22T03:15:07+00:00

You guys are seriously arguing about a toilet seat. This is a men's rights issue?

This is why this "movement" is a joke.

EdgarAllenPoeish · 2013-06-22T01:33:27+00:00

Separate Bathrooms. Problem Solved.

zomgitsduke · 2013-06-22T12:01:31+00:00

The seat should.just always be up. That way no one posses on it. It's best for both parties. In fact, toilet seats should be spring loaded up so the seats don't get covered with anything.

KRosen333 · 2013-06-22T00:00:58+00:00

....

This is the stupidest post I have ever seen in this sub, and I have seen some pretty dumb ones.

How about everyone just leave the seat however the fuck they want because it's a trivial issue?

Repeating this here because why the fuck do we care about people asking about the god damned toilet seat?

OH YEAH REAL BADASS, I'm going to go into the toilet and leave EVERY SEAT UP HAHAHA! That will show those feminists who are denying male rape victims recognition and help they deserve!

... I'm starting to think this sub is a lost cause.

fff32 · 2013-06-21T22:16:25+00:00

I see /r/MR is now /r/atheism.

Kuonji · 2013-06-21T22:19:17+00:00

Different fonts. I'm guessing one of the signs was up first, then someone made one to compliment the first one.

MisterDamage · 2013-06-21T23:03:47+00:00

Here's an idea, why not just everyone sit down to do their business, its more comfortable anyway.

(if you maintain cleanliness of course.)
