I hate to tell you but closing the lid doesn't help. In fact your entire house is covered in a layer of fecal matter due to inside toilets.
The problem is women tend to sit without looking. So having the seat up results in this post haha
Are these women just... How to say this delicately... Dumb? Like you walk into the bathroom facing the toilet. You can't help but see it. Are you telling me they drop their pants and just do a trust fall onto the rim? I'm guessing no. I think it's a meme and women just don't want to have to put the lid up before going.
This is 1000% a thing and I would be shocked if the majority of women who have lived with men haven't experienced this at least once in their lives. It happens just like in this post: in the middle of the night, you don't turn on the lights and you just go through the motions without thinking because you're half asleep. Not a fun way to wake up. Super jarring, kinda hurts, gets your ass wet, and that lip of the toilet is just generally a little grosser than the seat.
I mean, I'm a guy, I generally just leave the seat down 99% of the time and pee without lifting it. If there's any drips or splashes I'll just wipe it up. But every time I go in to poo or pee sitting down at night I always just check to make sure the toilet is how I want it. There's no reason not to just give it a quick check.
Muscle memory, going on autopilot, and it not being immediately obvious in the dark. Idk what to tell y'all, when you sit down to use the bathroom 100% of the time it's just not top of mind when you're barely awake.
And some of us can't get back to sleep easily if we turn on the big light at 3 am.
