Do you put the tolilet seat lid down before you flush ?

It has been proven that bacteria from a toilet flush can travel approx six feet.  Always put the lid down.  Also highly recommended that toothbrushes, floss etc. get put in a medicine cabinet.  Gross eh?

down at the center, but it is skewed toward the left. when u bring it out for peeing, u do it from the left.

The really really first thing that I do when I go inside a public rest room is to glance at my reflection in the mirror before I look at the queue for the stalls. When I get into the stall, I check for cleanliness first, then toilet paper second.  If everything is OK, I proceed inside but before anything else, I check the lock. If that's OK as well, then BINGO!! I go and do my business.

i HATE those auto flush toilets. has society gotten so lazy and germaphobic that they cant use a tissue to flush? \ni can kind of understand it in the handicapped stall, because someone who is disabled may have difficulty flushing\nbut you just gave me another reason to hate the dang things...cameras in there? (shudders at the thought)

If you are the only  gender using this toilet...males leave it up...females leave it down.  If coed toilet leave it down as it helps avoid problems. Clean toilets impress women so you can score some points here if you wipe up any spills...clean it after using for the BIG one.\nModern Toilet was invented by English guy Sir John Crapper ?  think that was his name  :-)   Enjoy your reading room.

This is funny, I walked in on my fiance in the middle of the night and found him sitting to pee in the dark. His explanation was that if he was to stand, he'd need to turn on the light in order to aim into the toilet. By sitting, he could avoid the bright light, and also not worry about leaving wet spots on the toilet for the next user....me!

This is funny.  From an etiquette point of view, they should be free to use your bathroom.  However, I have a friend of mine who gets his jollies off of clogging my toilet from his stool.  So, for him, under NO circumstances can he use my toilet.  I know it is poor etiquette, but I can't afford a plumber every time he stuffs up my toilet with his crap.

It is my understanding you do this so any sediment that might be in the lower gage valve will be flushed out.

Well, the toilet was made with a seat, so, yes, put it down for it to be "properly made" like a bed.  If there are females using it, then it's a courtesy, yes, but the seat is used more often than not with BOTH males & females - we all have to sit for #2!!

I do a pattern everytime. \n\n1. Wipe from Front to Back\n2. Wipe from Back to Front\n3. Wipe from Front to Back again.\n\nRepeat until toilet paper shows no poopy

I have never understood this.  I have tried it a couple times, like I will come home and bring the mail in the bathroom with me.  But all I get out of it is spending more time than I needed to on the toilet (because I was busy reading instead of getting up and leaving) and a numb rear end.  Toilet seats are not made for long periods of sitting.\n\nI have been told its for peace and quiet, but I could find a much more comfy spot for peace and quiet.

Dear Lord!  This one is worse than "How do I know he really loves me?" or even "which came first, the chicken or the egg?"\n\nOK girls, here's what us guys do when we use the toilet.\n\n1)  Enter the bathroom\n\n2)  Look at the toilet (this is the part women seem to have the most trouble with)\n\n3)  If lid is down, put it up.  If it is up, continue\n\n4)  If seat is down, out of courtesy to those who will sit after you, put it up.  If it is up, continue\n\n5)  Flush when finished - wash hands\n\n6)  Leave Bathroom\n\n\nNow, for you poor unfortunate ladies, a slight adjustment to step 4 is all that is required.  Somehow, I think you can probably handle that.  \n\nNow could you please find something else to bit*h at men about ?

I'd like to say that I never will, but well, now I'm relatively young and my leg muscles still respond, in the future, who knows... But I don't want to think of the possibility! :-S\nLOL

Not to my knowledge.  I've done it before, except I wasn't strong enough to get it all the way in.  Therefore I left it sitting in front of the container.

The short answer is that toilets flush to the shape of the toilet - not because of northern or southern hemisphere location\n\nThe longer answer is that in theory it is possible that the "Coriolis effect" will change the the rotation of the flush. The Wikipedia link below has a detailed analysis. It can be abbreviated to "it's possible in an exact, scientific, controlled environment"

When u r having a bowel movement and you flush before u r completely finished, thereby lessening the "shock" value to anyone who might be in "range" or soon to come after u!
