We've done to death the never ending saga of which way the roll of toilet paper is supposed to hang. So let's not even go there, OK?
The real question (esp for those married - maybe this should be in the marriage folder after all?) is...
The lid and seat. Up? Down? Both or none?

I can agree with the seat always being down. After all, if it were the middle of the night and if I had the "need" to have a sit down in the dark I'd hate to get a wet bottom.
But, under ordinary circumstances, isn't it right that since the male half of the household population has to "do their duty" by physically raising the seat to do their business that the other half should also have to do that physical exertion of that lifting action in bringing the lid alone up for their own use?
I mean, that way no matter what the use of the commode, both sexes are being treated equally!

Seat and lid down. It is very "un Feng Shui" to leave the lid up. According to those in the Feng Shui know to leave the lid up is to allow your energy and finances to ---well--go down the toilet

Guess your right. Both seat and lid should be down. We just never got into that habit I guess.
On my toilet the seat does'ent stay up anyways.

I prefer seat and lid down.
A friend of mine made her husband sit down to go wee. It was her rule and he followed it.

both down. with the lid down, there is less moisture in the air, thus less chance of mildew or mold getting a foothold in the bathroom

I used to live in an apartment with mold problems. The bathroom always seems damp, so after scrubbing the place down, I thought I would try leaving the lid down to see if it helped, and it seemed to. I had no more mold problems.
I also kept my can of silca gel I used for drying flowers for arrangements in the bathroom too, with the lid off. (no pets or kids at that time)

I'd think especially in the outhouse it'd be both seat and lid down.
As for the cold war, ever think about trying a portable heater in the loo?

I have my own input into the toilet seat up/toilet seat down debate. If people would turn around and look before they sit down (both sexes) nobody would fall in.
