WHY PUT THE SEAT DOWN?

| Madelyn Pointsouts

The Natural Order of Things

Women frequently comment on the desire to have men put toilet seats down after using the restroom. In some cases, a sign is even posted in public restrooms making this request. (see photo).

The next man in may not have the courtesy to put the seat up before using the commode. Studies have shown that over 43% of men will ignore putting the seat up – and the result are frequently dribbles on the seat. I have even seen this occur in homes I visit.

I personally would suggest that the idea of asking the toilet be put down down be abolished due to the anticipated behavior of inconsiderate men – and there are a lot of them.
