How can I get my husband to leave the toilet seat down?!!?

It's very annoying when in the middle of the night, I have to use the potty and the seat is up!...


What is a way to so that I can get him to keep it down..Besides, why does he need the toilet seat up anyways?How can I get my husband to leave the toilet seat down?!!?
My sister had to do this... she took the seat completely off, no matter what happened, when he complained about it being gone, when he had to do other business..she would tell him.. ';Hey when i had to go, the seat was up..sinse you like it that way.. you got it'; she wouldn't put it back on..he learned quick...How can I get my husband to leave the toilet seat down?!!?
Ask him to, if he don't, then cut him off until he starts doing like you asked, and besides the point, whey do we men have to leave the seat down anyway? Do you leave the seat up for him? Most considerate men will leave it down when wer're done, but always wondered why we have to leave it down and girls always leave it down, can't either of you think about the other when your done with your Business in there? Sort of lazy on both of your parts if you ask me?
Let's look at this dilemma logically.





It's been an issue between men and women since toilets were invented but the real issue is two fold:





1. A toilet with the seat up is disgusting to look at unless it has just been cleaned because the vast majority of men have difficulty aiming and/or are tall so there is the issue of ';splash-up'; all over the toilet. Gentlemen, please know that it is for these reasons that we ladies appreciate you lifting the seat!





2. The biggest risk to us falling into the toilet with a seat left up is during the middle of the night. This is because, as considerate beings, we generally try to perform our nocturnal bathroom visits without turning on the lights and waking YOU up. So it should be obvious to you that we can't see if the seat is up or down. If you would prefer, I suggest that women all over the world unite and turn on every light as many times as it necessary during the night so that they can see if you've booby-trapped the bathroom for us.





Your call guys! can you be considerate so that we may continue to be considerate also???








Edited to add: OMG!!! The answer below mine is absolutely perfect!!!!!! She should get the ten points!!!! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha...absolutely perfect!
So if the lid is down, do you just sit down and pee all over yourself?





And are you 3 years old that you don't know why he needs it up? You see, us men, we pee standing up. So to keep you from whining like a child, we put the seat up to avoid peeing on it. Because who wants to sit on a seat covered in urine?





So when you grow up and become a big girl, hopefully you'll be smart enough to look at the toilet before you sit down.
It IS very annoying. Unfortunately, I think you just have to deal with it. My ex-husband always left the seat up. My current husband always remembers to put it down. It's in their personality to either remember or forget. There is no changing them!! It's just one of those things, like remembering to take out the garbage or put the new roll of toilet paper on. BTW, I think they lift it up so they don't drip or splash onto the seat you're going to sit down on. So just be glad he remembers to lift it up, and you don't sit in a puddle of pee! Good luck! :)
He was taught to lift the seat to pee so he didn't get it on the seat he just never learned to put it down when he was finished. Just tell him about it and the next time he does it tell him you're tired of falling in the toilet and getting your butt wet. If that doesn't work make him sit down all the time no matter what he is doing. That's what I do it is easier and more courteous to others. Tell him to have some respect for you if he loves you he will do it.
There is nothing you can do to get him to put the seat down. he will never do it if he wasn't ';trained'; to do it at a very early age.





Men are like dogs that have to be trained from the puppy stage. So i guess you can blame this on his mother. She should have taught him to put the seat down as a child when she was potty training him.





It's silly isn't it? I mean... you would think that just out of common sense that men would put down what they put up in the first place.





Sorry. It will never happen. I have been married for 17 years and my husband wouldn't put the seat down if you paid him too.





One time i went and bought a toilet seat cover that was very plush and thick. Every time he went to pee and raised the seat the cushion was there and would flop back down on his weenie. So he stopped using my bathroom for a while. Try it. At least the toilet seat will fall back down when he is through.





Good Luck!
I know what you're saying. But I heard a comedian talking about this subject once and he said...Why do we have to put it down...Why don't you put it up when you're done with it...lol...makes sense too, I guess. Like another poster said, at least he raises it up so you don't have to sit in the pee sprinkled on the seat. And if you know it's gonna be up in the middle of the night, then just put it down before you go potty. It's really not worth an arguement, is it???
Well, if they didn't put it up we'd be sitting in pee every time. I have just gotten used to this with my husband. I automatically put in down in the middle of the night. What bothers me even worse is the drippage that gets on the floor in front of the toilet. I've always thought it was pretty gross shakin it around to get pee off! Thank god us women are civilized enough to use toilet paper ;)
Do you know just how annoying it is to have to pee and have to lift that damn lid? If I have to remember to put the lid down, why don't you remember to put the lid up?


Get over it.


If that is the only thing you have to be mad about your husband, you don't know how good you've got it.
I had the same ongoing situation with my husband too.........finally i figured it out. After i use the toilet seat I raise it up for him. Now I am trained to expect it up all the time and do not fall in or sit on a wet seat without knowing it. I can pee in the dark now at night because I retrained myself to be RIGHT%26gt;
There is no way that I know of to get a man to close the lid when done. It is something that is learned at an early age and as with most other things its hard to change what someone has done all of their lives.


**** MILDRED IS IN THE HOUSE****
Trade him something for it. Find some thing (or action) that he wants and trade him the whatever in exchange for putting the seat down. Give him incentive to remember to do it.
Why don't you keep the seat up. It is very annoying to go potty in the middle of the night and have the seat down.

automatic toilet seat, when he flushes the toilet it closes by itself..slowly and quietly
OH MY GOD..MY BOSS DOES THAT!!!!!! ARGHH IT MAKES ME SO MAD..because we have one washroom we are in a small office..and he leaves it up all the time!! He leaves it up because he probably cant control where he pees hehe
My husband leaves the seat down for me. I guess if you wanted to make him see your serious..then go to the hardware store/walmart..and buy some glue! It will stay down then.
SUperglue it so it stays down permanently
My husband has pretty good aim and he never lifts the seat up. He's not 4 if he gets some on the seat he washes it off with clorox wipes. end of story, no arguments
Good luck with that! Charge him a quarter every time he leaves it up. He`ll be surprised how fast the money accumulates or ask him to stop putting it up.








If you sprinkle, when you tinkle


Be a sweetie, and wipe the seatie!! lol
If this is the extent of your problems, then you are truly blessed! Go and enjoy your life.
Don't feed him.
well keep reminding him over n over
Talk to him about it. Offer him a nobber. I dunno.
We lift it so we don't pee all over it!





What makes women so incapable of putting the seat down?
Ask him if he was born in a barn? And if he needs to be re-potty trained a second time?
That's just what we do..
try leaving a note. With hearts on it! yay!
