Everyone closes the lid completely when they’re done. Problem solved. Equality established. World peace flourishes.
Toilet has lid for a reason, to cover it when not in use. I am constantly flabbergasted that more people don’t get that. Do they leave the mayo lidless in the fridge too because it makes it easier to make a sandwich??
The lid is only for blocking the toilet if you are about to risk dropping something in there accidentally. If you aren’t doing anything complicated in the bathroom or need to sit or stand on the lid for some reason, it’s just in the way.
Otherwise, keep the lid up and the seat down for quick access in diarrhea situations.
If you have pets ymmv.
Close the lid to flush. So you don’t spew a vortex of excrement microparticles into the air
you realize you breathe in way more nasty nasty microparticles going outside for like 3 min that you do from your toilet flushing a couple of times a day? lots of fungus, bacteria, viruses, spores, etc.
your immune system exists dude. and it needs light exercise.
the only way aerosolized waste is making you sick is if you like go inside a sewer or waste disposal tank where it’s intensely concentrated, and it’s really the methane that’s doing you in, as the bacteria don’t float.
also your basic breathing through your nose and mouth is shooting out way more nasty shit that actually can infect other people. by paranoid logic we should all be using closed breathing systems at all times.
I keep my washcloth and toothbrush in the bathroom. The towels i use to dry my hands and my body. I don’t want poop particles on them if i can avoid it. Does my bathroom habits bother you for some reason?
No, but your believe in ‘poop particles’ is paranoid and stupid. Every moment of everyday you are shedding bacteria, viruses, and all that jazz, and breathing and ingesting them back in.
‘poop particles’ is marketing nonsense used to make you paranoid and sell you cleaning products you don’t need.
I mean… you should put the lid (not just the seat) down before you flush every time regardless to reduce the airborne particles.
That’s not even the reason I do it. The way I see it, we both should have to do seat management before use. If I have to put the seat up, she has to put the lid up. It’s only fair.
