Toilet seat not staying up?

I had one like that uears ago. aftermarket bog seat and pan too far back.

IIRC one day the cistern had an issue and fitting a chleap plastic one of smaller depth cured all the problems.

One of the long term plans :-) This WC happens to be in the bathroom as the famous cracked bath. We solved the bath problem by using a different bathroom, which also solved the WC lid problem, but, when we did use it, I solved the problem as above or, during the night, always sat rather than stood which meant I didn't need to turn a light on, and could 'let go' without worrying about seeing to aim.

I once lifted the lid in an 'all girl' household.

A chisel would have been needed to scarpe off the encrusted dried uric acid crystals

I have a french male friend that does that, we all take the piss out of him , but it is actually more hygenic as you don't get the splash back.

You can prove this to yourselves rather thatn arguing about whther ir shoul d be a EU directive, stabnd bare legged and piss in the toilet, unless you aim really carfully you'll feel the splash back on your legs, and you might even start to wonder where else those little splashes end up.

Its less hygenic because you instead spray the underside of the toilet seta and it dribbles down teh ouside of te pan

I am sure in your case givcen you self avowed dyspomania this is true.

The more sober of us however managed quite well without spraying the area.

I tend to sit in the middle of the night, because I don't need a light to aim, if sitting. However, I am convinced that I pass more standing than sitting, i.e. sitting, there is the vague suspicion that the bladder is not quite as empty as it would have been, had I been standing. Is that bollocks, or fact? Anything to do with how tubes are routed? No idea, just a feeling.

Its normal for prostate cancer

What is normal for prostate cancer? Not passing everything in one go? It is OK standing, just not convinced about sitting.

To pee or not to pee standing up is the question. For starters, sitting dow n ensures that you don't leave behind any pee on the toilet seat. Sitting d own also improves your bladder and prostate health, reduces LUTS, and fully empties your bladder. Some experts also associate sitting down to pee with better sexual performance, thanks to improved prostate health.

I suspect it is more to do with conditioning. Sitting down for men (who have been trained to stand up) sends the wrong signals to the brain.

Who else gets an improvement or surge in flow the minute the flush kicks in? It's all in the head.

A dentist friend said that tooth brushes should be several feet away from a toilet because the flushing action (if done with the lid up) sends aerosols quite some distance.

Assuming an aerosol forms when you flush it will still be expelled from the gap between the seat and the rim and will probably travel farther because it will be going faster. Maybe some uni will waste money to investigate?

MythBusters[1] proved that it made little to no difference where in the whole house you parked your toothbrush. :-)
