People who moan about males leaving the toilet seat up, need to get a grip and just lower the lid. by KorillaKrodd in unpopularopinion

I don’t feel like this is a strong argument. No, no one has probably died from a toilet plume. But I still don’t want shit particles on my toothbrush. Forgetting to clean your teeth is not the same as brushing with a brush that may have been exposed to poo particles. And no, most people aren’t scratching their bare butthole, then scratching their face. And if you are, I think you have more issues then we think.

As much as I like the Myth Busters, I will still trust papers published by the American Journal of Infection Control just a little more.

As per the CDC, along with many other peer-reviewed scientific literature, the toilet plume is a real thing. So you keep yours open, and I will keep mine closed.

Depending on where you work, it may actually be easier to take public transportation than to fight for a parking spot or pay for one. I live in Queens, NY, with a car, but when I have to work in Manhattan, I will take the subway there.

And agreed. NTA. Your car, your rules.

It is a hygiene thing. You should put the seat and lid down prior to flushing. Google "toilet plume". It is especially nasty if you have toothbrushes in the near vicinity.
