Why is the default "down?"

[Ecthy]

Why does ck only open threads about wiping butts and toilet seats?

[Whaleboy]

Ok, I've wondered this for a long while. Why is the default toilet seat position have to be down? Why can't it be "up?"

Gravity?

If that sort of thing really concerns you, then I suppose that for the same reason, you never, under any circumstance, fart.

We typically don't wear kilts in America. There are boxers and pants in the way. It's the Scots who shouldn't bust one.

Not so.

Flushing the toilet is not the same kind of situation like a gardern hose, where if you put your thumb over the nozzle you can spray further.

But it is.

FFS people, it's a poo-chute. Close the lid.

if you need it up put it up, if you need it down put it down. end of.

So you never get caught with your pants down?

How about when you sit on the damn seat? Don't you fart then? Doesn't this get it all blown on your face?

. I feel more comfortable with the toilet seat down when I flush the toilet. (I also keep my toothbrush in the cabinet).

ah but then you won't know if you have a floater, which could prove unfortunate...

in my house it's simple; keep the seat down or the dog will get sick and puke all over the bed

I don't seem to ever have floaters. I'm special that way.

I'm sure it's mostly gases. You pretty much have no choice but to grin and bear it. I hate the thought of inhaling gases that have been in other people's asses (for some reason my own ass gas doesn't bother me), but what choice do I have? Walk around in a contained breathing unit?

The default down is third down and seven.

Doesn't anyone else have a little room for the can off the main part of the bathroom. Any particulate matter is NOT getting on my toothbrush since to do so it would have to exit the bowl , squeexe under or around a closed wood frame door before making a 180 degree turn to enter the medicine cabinet where I keep it.

I know it's like that in the rest of the world, because you're just smarter than Americans, but the USA almost always has toilets in the same room as the shower, sink, etc.
