“She obviously expects us to raise the toilet seat and then put it down again when done!”
That reminded me of a time many years ago, when I was in college. One evening I went to a party at a house shared by several girls. At one point I used the toilet, and when I came out, one of the girls asked me whether I had put the seat down. I just told her that it was already down when I went in there.
I think they should be spring-loaded myself, especially in public unisex bathrooms. Keeps the overspray from “hovering” off the seat.
