The two married couples in the pic - LeVar Burton and his bride, and Johnathan Frakes and Genie Francis, are still married.. 30 Years and 34 years, respectively.

I assumed as much. He seems like a reasonable, level-headed dude and his wife is probably of similar reasonableness. They probably argue every now and then about not putting down the toilet seat and things get a little heated. But, they talk it out and promise each other they’ll do better and then go to bed and read for an hour before kissing each other goodnight.

Best compromise for the toilet seat: everyone puts down the lid

Honestly it's just to damn easy to put the lid down, it's not worth the inevitable fight.

LukesRightHandMan t1_itkf2h3 wrote

It's bullshit. It's so much easier and more hygienic to put a seat down, so the default should be to keep it up.

I told my wife I’d happily put down the lid if she did. Apparently putting down the lid is too much work, so I don’t have to.

It's much easier to put the seat down if you are in a rush to go than to pick up the lid or the seat.

Bending over can pinch your bladder when you have to pee really badly. This is painful, not to mention the complicated action of grabbing only the lid or both the seat and lid as needed. Then lifting them all the way up on a curve to they stay up.

A flick of the wrist on the other hand can put the seat or lid down when needed. Gravity will let the seat fall down quickly. No real effort is needed whatsoever.

Also it is of vital importance no one gets used to sitting on a toilet without looking first. I know someone who once got bitten by a snake that was in their toilet because she didn't look first. Many people have sat in urine or even poo because they don't look before they sit. If you fall into a toilet because you were not looking that is YOUR fault. You were not looking and the outcome could have been far worse than just getting kinda stuck.

For this reason I think the whole argument about leaving the seat up is profoundly self centered of women and wrong. All three positions have benefits.

  1. All up is the easiest and quickest position to transform into the other positions and allow for a quick and comprehensive visual inspection before sitting.

  2. Seat down is what is needed 60-75% of the time, which makes it a decent default too.

  3. Lid down is the worst in that it makes visual inspection worse, it tends to lead to the bowl getting dirty faster, and it takes additional time both before and after use, but especially before. However it is the most equitable and the most sanitary during a flush.

My wife and I agreed that we were both adults and capable of moving it to the correct position.

It was only technology in the bathroom and being a germaphobe that means I’m the one who tends to close it.

The best solution is clearly "only move the seat when you need it moved". This will minimize the movements for everyone.

DataSquid2 t1_itjtxh5 wrote

When you flush with the toilet seat open how much shit and piss particles do you think you are throwing around in the bathroom?

Close then flush is the best solution.

If it's a multi-flush shit, close before the final flush.

HearseWithNoName t1_itlb7o9 wrote

This is my logic as well, but funnily enough my husband has asked that we always put the seat down after we're done. shrugs

If any of you don't know of it, you should really catch the Lavar Burton Reads podcast. It's a treasure.

Bad_Hominid t1_iting64 wrote

According to the boy himself, he left TNG to focus on his film career (outstanding move). And he simultaneously cut ties with everyone in the cast, people who were by all accounts dear friends. Why?? I can't recall the specifics and can't find the piece I read years ago about it, but I think it was this thing where he resented the fact that everyone thought of him as Wesley crusher and was afraid of being only that forever. So he left the show, flipped the bird to his friends and didn't come crawling back until, decades later, being Wesley crusher was the only thing he was liked for.

I was once told by a man in Hollywood production that it was widely known that Levar Burton had the biggest cock in Hollywood. I can’t elaborate any further because that’s all he said, but he seemed like a guy who would make it his business to know such things
