I do not see how you can open it without washing your hands if this is the case. You would probably want to wash your hands quite thoroughly before even touching yourself if you cannot lower it for these germ-fear reasons. And if it's really that bad, shouldn't you be closing it in case whatever germy beast is living in there decides to become of-a-single-mind and get out? I frankly do not give a shit if you are washing your hands or not. Not my problem. Also, we do not have dogs. I was pointing out that this is a habit held by everyone in this household, so I could not be accused of making a 'silly rant' just because I didn't look first. And the few times I actually had to use a toilet without a seat, I never fell in. How people do, I do not know.

As most women believe men are oblivious to what is taking place around them most of the time, I tend to leave it up. Really, this is practical. As demonstrated in your drawing, to do otherwise would involve touching the seat and/or lid. That would then require having to wash my hands. Now, you might say I should be doing that, regardless...not so. As my penis is probably covered with less germs than my hands, as it is in less contact with the world, if anything, I should wash my penis after the friendly encounter. Additionally, my mother taught me as a wee lad, never to pee on my hands, a lesson which I learned rather quickly. So, no...the potty war may continue...but I have already declared victory in whatever domain I find myself. As for Gremlin, you rightly point out that he responds differently because he is motivated by his dogs and reptiles. You make no mention of his concern for your dampened tuckus. So, there. ;) Well, having fought the potty war for most of my life, I have taken a fallback positon of gender reliance.
