Close the lid before you flush!!!

[ecomindia]

This was scientifically tested and proven to be absolute bullshit by the TV show 'Mythbusters'.

The tested for bacteria in all rooms of the house and every room has some bacteria, but the kitchen actually had far more dangerous stuff than the bathroom.

And Comscout is correct, you actually weaken your immune system by making everything in your live germ free.

yes, kitchen definitely is more dangerous as of germs..
we keep unwashed items there , wash the vegetables, fruits etc..
in many places, we keep dustbin in / near the kitchen..

but we are going off-track.. it was all about flush lid ;-)

Just remembering to Flush seems to be too difficult for some people.

I second that! Some horribly disgusting people out there.

Hint: Put the toothbrush far away from the toilet.

What is so difficult with that?

In many, many parts of Europe and Eurasia, you don't have that pesky toilet seat problem:

Turkish Toilet...

That's what we call "Indian Toilet" here in India

(btw, Yoga gurus recommend this as good for muscles and
everything that is in comes out very well ;-) )

I'd say, back to the basics; behind the bushes and use leaves afterwards but avoid the fig leaves.

I like to be comfortable when taking a shit. Squatting on the floor pooping through a little hole doesn't cut it in my book. Seems like exercise to me.

Also go's by another name,Squat toilet. BY the pic it looks like yours is missing the flush handle?

The only question is: how to get the males in your house to pee with the toilet seat down?

What's harder is to train the females in your house to put the seat down themselves...

I solved this years ago. A shall share here.

I was called into the bathroom with a condescending "I want you to put the seat down" comment.

I made my eyes get big. I said "OH.... MY... GOD..."...

I pulled out my cellphone and mock-dialed 911.

"Yes, we have an emergency at (address)". Pause.

"Yes, Adult female. Awake and breathing". Pause.

"I think it's a broken arm -- she's unable to move a 1 pound object." Pause.

"Yes, she is responsive, but seems confused by her inability to move the object." pause. "No history of mental illness that I am aware of". Pause.

"Yes, I understand. I would prefer a helicopter rescue if one is available." Pause. "Yes, I will immobilize her arm by tying it to her body and wait for paramedics. Please hurry". Hang up.

This solves the problem, guys. The toilet seat silliness was never spoken of again.

HHHHmm if it's down and then it will get it on the under side, and you then have to lift it up, and get it on your hands even more then.

Unless you lift it up and wash your hands, then put it back down and wash your hands again. But Others may not have washed their hands, and got stuff on the door as well, so I'll need to wash once out side the bathroom.

Women and toilet seats, here's another story. I knew how particular they are about toilet seats so with this new girlfriend I made the effort to put the seat down. So what happens? GF yells at me for leaving the seat down so I didn't complain, I just always left it up. Couple years later she has a Feng Shui lady go over her house who suggests to leave the seat down, so then she tells me leave it down. Naturally I reminded her who was right in the first place.
