I mean, I haven't ever imagined that the toilet seat's lid position would be a problem to anyone; I mean you just need to look at it before sitting if it's down then good, if it's up then you just lower it - easy, yet from this forum I learned that it seems to be a major "gender issue" (even a divorce reason) between men and women in the Anglo-Saxon/English speaking countries.
When I told some women of my country the story that some women there fall into the toilet hole because their men sometimes forget to put down the lid back - they all laughed and were like "are they blind??". True story.

The lid or the seat? they are two different things. We don't fall in, it's just considered rude/ugly to have the bowl

exposed.



From the context it is clear to what I am referring to.

So the lid is the cover part?

Anyway, hygiene wise, it is best to close the cover when flushing; and keep it closed.

Keeping it closed is a good idea if you have a pet like a dog or cat. They may drink out of the toilet or climb/fall in. We keep the cover closed cuz we have a cat.

^This is the BBC (local) they discus things affecting young people. I don't know the details but my guess would be

they asked women to tell them about incidences of being approached by strangers or something similar and this is

what this woman said. You wouldn't go to a newspaper with a story like this, it's not really a story. I think they are

using it as an example of something that will seem fine to some people but might upset others, basically to

encourage discussion.

I would have waited the ten seconds because I would have been intrigued, then I'd have been disappointed by the

message.

Well, they certainly encouraged the discussion. About toilet seats and lids, mostly :lol:

If that was the worst story of her to tell, I would say she was extremely lucky.

the falling in suggests the middle bit unless you're

very heavy

top bit but it doesn't seem to have a name which is why I get confused

over which bit people mean when they say seat because that gets used as a seat too. Whenever I go to peoples'

houses both bits are ALWAYS down.
