I have a nephew who drives his mother crazy leaving the toilet seat up. When she complains he will say things like if men and women are equal a woman is as capable of putting it down as he is. It almost has become a rebellious game with him but I have noticed he also leaves the seat up when visiting me. His mum is really worried this is becoming the norm and that people he visits will think him badly mannered and rude. He's a young adult so not a child really.

Anyone have any thoughts about the toilet seat or advice for his mum?

Except, if he's the only one lifting it up, he should put it back down afterwards.

So would that rule of thumb be the same in my gaff with three males and only one female?

What? That people tidy and clean up after themselves? Yeah. Not sure what the gender numbers has to do with it.

You use something? You leave it as you found it when you're finished. A fairly simple thing.

But she won't find it up if the three males are putting it down after themselves.

not sure Serious Debates & News Stories is strong and stable enough to deal with a subject this heavy and contentious.

I grew up in a house with 3 brothers and a dad so it was automatic to put the seat down when I went in the loo

[smudgie]

Ok.
I find if you take the seat off (especially midwinter) it does the trick.
Those little..and not so little botties on the cold loo has them begging for the seat back and promising to put it down after them.

You have to outwit the little beggars or they run rings around you.

Oh good idea! Can see from other responses that this is an international issue of contention.

Tell the mum to piss on his pillow.

I've never got why this is such an issue.

There is no right or wrong way to have it.

Very snobbish behaviour indeed.
