Truth is, it doesn't bother me to put the seat down. The whole splashing/swearing thing in the middle of thenight really pisses me off, though. And then, do you use a towel or a half roll of TP to dry off? What's the etiquette for THAT situation?

I appreciate that guys don't pee on the seat. That's nice. Now if women would just stop it! I guess they think they're gonna get some sort of toilet seat transmitted disease and hover, in the vain hope that they can actually AIM and hit the water from the airspace above it. Maybe they don't want to take the chance other people have previously peed on the seat and sit in it, so they make sure the next person will... unless she is also a hoverer.
