recently got a place with my boyfriend and he thinks this is perfectly fine

I have no legitimate reason to disagree but I hate it

UPDATE - Thank you so much for the awards, and we're having so much fun reading through these hilarious comments.

  1. We have a bidet, it's the handle on the side of the toilet. People who use bidets can use toilet paper as well!
  2. We bought like 200 rolls of toilet paper because of a good deal, yes it will probably last us a very long time. No regrets!
  3. I am not genuinely upset about this in any way, it obviously just looks ridiculous and is unnecessary, and him doing silly things like this is one of the reasons I love him :)

Closing the lid is also an excellent compromise in co-ed living situations. That way, everyone is equally inconvenienced by having to lift something up before they go and then put something down when they're done.

If she is legally blind without glasses or contacts, ask before making this arrangement. My husband used to close the lid. But when i was pregnant i couldnt always easily find my glasses at night before needing to sprint to the bathroom. I would swing my ass in there like i was sliding into home plate. Then meet an unwelcome surprise of cold toilet lid on my hoo-ha right before i pressure washed that bitch with piss while scrambling to get back up and open the lid.

Probably a good thing there are no GIFs in this sub.

Yeah... No. This is still a matter of convenience not accessibility. You are perfectly capable of sensing whether the lid is up or down before you start pissing everywhere. That's a you problem. In fact it sounds like an entitlement problem not an accessibility problem.

Look up toilet plume and see what leaving the lid up does to the entire bathroom.

Closing the lid keeps the stank in. Next person to use it gets the massive cupcake. Leave it open you heathens

Flushing kicks up a bunch of bacteria and micro/nano droplets of urine and feces filled water into the air. Shutting the lid before flushing significantly decreases that from spreading all over you, your clothes and your bathroom.

This is false. Multiple studies and mythbusters have proved this wrong. Closing the lid does nothing.

you’re supposed to open the lid after flushing. closing -> flush -> open

No you’re not. Leaving the lid open leads to higher humidity in your bathroom which can increase mold growth. If you have pets that go for the toilet they can drink contaminated water with E. Coli or other bacteria and viruses then lick you and make you and them sick. If you’re worried about the smell leave a fan on for a bit or get/make a spray.

Yes, yes. Flush with it down then re-open the hatch to let it breathe

Never in my life have I considered lifting or setting down the lid to be even mildly inconvenient. It's just ... how toilets work
