In my house I believe I am the only inhabitant that always closes the lid after making a deposit in the porcelain bank.
There are a few reasons it exists, and it's definitely not to stand upon whilst fixing something to the wall (Mrs P)...
Youngest offspring discovered another reason for why it's there earlier as she fumbled her toothbrush and scored a boghole bullseye.
One of the paradoxes that Mrs P comes up with is, she doesn't like me drinking water from bathroom sink due to all sorts of droplet nastiness eminating from the bog, yet is happy to have the toothbrushes sitting in a cup just above said bog and is an offender for not closing the lid.
I remember reading somewhere that flushing with the lid down spreads more germs than leaving it up. Thinking about why it must be due to the nozzling effect from a reduced air gap.
This is the only reason I am still drawn to TW4TD, I read scores of idiotic posts from Clown Shoes every day but once in a while a post like this comes up that actually brightens my day.
I would like to contribute to what should be a 10 pager.
I never close the lid because I see it as an inconvenience in the convenience.
I have two uninteresting toilet tales.
1/ My friend used to put her toilet cleaning brush thing in the dishwasher and I always found that unacceptable.
2/ I always have a sit down piss

1. Has that always been the case or are you just getting lazier and worse at aiming as you get older? 2. That is indeed gross.
I once lived in a flat with a small bathroom, the only toilet being in said bathroom. The only place I could put laundry basket was next to the loo. On two occasions I came home a little the worse for wear and, next morning, found my socks in the netty.
(Better than finding that I'd shat in the laundry, obviously).
I flush and then shut the lid. I make a particular effort to do so if I ever have the misfortune of using a public throne as I always leave it as I would wish to find it. I like the fact that the next person to use the same stall probably comes in, sees the lid is shut and fears the worst, but is then rewarded with the sight of an inviting bog.

Pretty sure this is incorrect.
In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!

There's no way in the world I would ever consider opening a shut loo lid in a public toilet *shudder*, I'd walk straight back out and find another cubicle. As it is I use loo paper to lock the door and to press the flush and will hover so no part of my body touches the actual toilet.

I trust you'd be steering well clear of this particular dunny then?
Probably avoid pressing play if you've got a delicate stomach or happen to be in work right now...

I'm exactly the same, I won't touch anything in a public toilet.
I once walked into a public toilet in Seoul there was a plaque on the wall and written in Korean and English it stated it was the best public toilet in Seoul for that year. Made me smile anyway.

I'm sort of thinking that you might have got 1 and 2 muddled and fuddled
As for the sit down piss - I first discovered this when I was in a sh1tty camper van thing in Belfast with a Soton friend of mine - don't ask.
It was 25 years ago and I caught him sitting there and asked if he was having a sh1t. He replied "No, feck off you c4nt, I'm having a lazy piss.
Since then I have never looked back.
I'm with you on the sit down p*ss. When you're inebriated, by drinking or smoking, your aim is off. Sit down, relax, and it all goes down the pan and not on the walls or floor. If your toilet smells like a toilet then that's years of p*ss. I don't like cleaning so sitting down means you don't have to.
Don't believe a word I say. I'm only kidding. Or am I?

I too enjoy the pleasures of the lazy wee. It can be a time saver too. Usually clean my teeth at the same time as having a lazy one.
As humans we need frequent reminders of our impact on the natural environment and the consequences of how we have created niches into which nature has evolved specialised forms of life.
I have a patent in which links the bog lid to the light switch, because going for a late night dump without switching on the illumination can result in a nasty case of an ailment known by the name of its discover, Claude Balls.
I once dashed up the stairs in my Mum's house desperate for a piss after a long and traffic heavy drive from London. Instant relief was followed by puzzlement in not hearing the sound of urine on water and looked down to find that I was peeing on the toilet lid that my sister-in-law had studiously closed. Well, on the fabric of the toilet seat cover actually. Which I suppose is better as it soaked it up and could be removed for a quick and guilty launder in the sink.

That’s an odd thing when you think about it… when people had fabric toilet seat covers… just imagine the germ infested environment that must’ve created!
