My wife does this all the time, and if I don’t check before I spritz I get an unexpected ball splash.

NSFW for potential topic sensitivity I guess.

    It is most efficient to leave the toilet seat in the position it is used. The same argument applies for the bidet settings.

          If a toilet stinks, it’s not cleaned properly, there is an issue with the trap or the floor seal is cracked or damaged. If there is a toilet that constantly smells like rotten eggs, it needs to be inspected to ensure sewer gasses are not leaking into your house. (Depending on where you live, water may contain more sulphur which also smells like rotten eggs. That can only be fixed with a good water filter system.)

          None of the 7 or 8 toilets that I own stink because they are cleaned and maintained.

          It’s only “sanitary” to close the lid when you flush it when there is a higher chance that poo water may spray out. Otherwise, water is just going to sit in there and evaporate.

            7-8 toilets? Either you have a large house, or are a very enthusiastic toilet collector

              Two houses. My first house was cheap enough not to sell when I moved to another state so I keep it as an investment property. It’s also the house where I learned how to do most of my own repairs since I was fairly broke back then. Either you pay someone a lot of money to do home repairs or you learn how to fix things properly so they don’t break again.

              Home ownership is expensive so it pays to learn everything you can about home repair. As a perk, I take pride in my work so I know it will get done properly. However, I’m not perfect and have made my fair share of costly mistakes. Those mistakes taught me how not to be lazy, so that is nice.

              Also, I was ripped off a few times by shady service people. That pissed me off enough to learn how to inspect other peoples work and verify that something is actually broken and that a repair cost is valid. (HVAC companies are the fucking worst, btw.)

        Actually some studies were done about that and found that the distribution of bacteria was unchanged in total value the only thing that changed was the positioning of the spread throughout the bathroom with the lid open versus closed.

        Unless you get something like an rv style toilet that has a sealing lip the lid actually locks against, but ain’t nobody using that in their house
