    That makes no sense to me tbh. If you are trained to keep the lid down, you are alerted immediately that something is off if the seat is up - you clearly see into the toilet and see that someone forgot to put it down.

    If you are trained to only have the seat down and lid up, then the change between seat up and down is not significant enough to notice and stop muscle memory to sit and fall in.

    Maybe I’m not understanding you but lid down is a foolproof way to not fall in from my perspective. My wife converted to the lid down way and doesn’t complain

      You consider lid down to be foolproof, but I’d say seat down is also foolproof if your eyes aren’t absolutely horrible.

      My wife always forgets when she gets up in the middle of the night, and falls in, or sits on the lid and has to get up and put the lit up and seat down herself.

      So she asks me to always make sure to put the seat down for her, something that I’m happy to do, as a happy wife is a happy life.

            So you can have the lid down while seat is up? Then what you said before makes much more sense. Though not sure what purpose this feature brings. Or how that would even lool like, never seen anything like that.

              Are you trying to be purposely obtuse, or intellectually dishonest?

              Or are you trying to let me know I have a typo somewhere in one of my earlier comments, without actually explicitly saying so?

              Or do you have a magic toilet where urine can pass through the lid when its down?

                You said your lid and seat are totally independent - suggesting you can leave the seat up but close the lid. Idk what toilet you have but if I want to close the lid, it is impossible to not put the seat down. It’s like saying to turn a page on a book while leaving the current page visible - it’s impossible.

                Anyway this is completely stupid conversation at this point. Definitely didn’t have malicious intentions or being stupid (or maybe I’m being stupid, stupid people rarely know they are stupid). I feel like I’m being trolled myself tbh. So lets just shake our headsbin unison and carry on.

                  I believe that’s an interpretation mistake on your part (the italicized part).

                  I was responding in disagreement to your comment about how both of them have to both be up together, or both down together, to actually use the toilet.

                  A reminder of what I was responding to…

                  So she asks me to always make sure to put the seat down for her,

                  Seat is down if thenlid is down.

                  Our lid is seperate from the seat. One can be done down while the other one is still up.

                  I wasn’t commenting on what order they stack on top of each other.

                  I feel like I’m being trolled myself tbh.

                  For the record, not trolling at all, it’s not what I do.

                  So lets just shake our headsbin unison and carry on.

                  And yes, this is definitely not a subject we should be continuing to talk about. Have a good day.
