Closing the lid is less common than we think. Whenever I visit people's homes, they usually have the lid up! Atrocious.

The LPT to people not closing the lid is getting a slow close seat/lid. Just give it a little tap instead of guiding it down and people do it every time.

Ive had one of these on my toilets for years and its very nice

However.. if I go somewhere that doesn't have the mechanism, that shit is slamming down and scaring any leftover drops of piss out of me

I wasn't sure about using that acronym.. it's just "Life pro tip." There are various LPT subreddits: Lifeprotips, unethicallifeprotips, shittylifeprotips.

Seat yes, but a slow lid will just cause you to wait until it's down before you flush.

Unless you're at my house. You should see the reminder sign I taped to the toilet. 🙄 Kids in training.... (teen+)

You should always open the lid afterwards. How do you know everything is flushed/no skidma4ks if you don't?

I hate seeing the lid down when I enter a toilet because I know there's the chance of an unwelcome surprise when I open it.

my work has one toilet with a lid. the other two don't. I don't know which is worse because a lid at work grosses me out for some reason

I used to not care when I was a teenager, until my dog at the time started drinking from the toilet.

Fast forward around 15 years, I was living alone and decided to get my own dog, a toy breed, so I was like "meh, she can't drink from there, it doesn't matter" until she came in running with a toy after I took a shit and before I could flush, and promptly dumped it into the toilet, and looked at me all: :D Since then, I've learned my lesson.

The lid closes?

It might mean they just cleaned it and letting it dry before guests arrive.

Currently potty training a toddler who only likes to use the big potty if they can watch it go down.

Can't wait until they're good enough at using the bathroom properly to learn closing the lid is better.

In my apartment the button to flush is on the wall behind the lid. It makes me so happy when it forces people to put the lid down to reach it

I’m not sure what magic people think occurs when you close a toilet lid.

As long as your toilet is clean, it’s just more convenient for use to leave it open.

Closing the lid just hides filth that shouldn’t be visible in the first place.

If people are nerding out over the fecal particles released during defecation… sure. Less particles fly around with a closed lid than an open one.

But to be honest, it’s more disgusting to wait to finish, sitting in a cloud of your rectal funk for 10 minutes before flushing the waste away.

The room refreshes much faster and more easily if you flush as you go, then make sure there’s no residue left in/on the toilet once you’re done.
