Here's my solution: I went to Lowes and found a seat cover that has a hinge designed to prevent slamming. Now when I'm done I can simply grab the top of the lid and give it a push, it'll lower itself gently. Since I don't have to exert any effort (or even bend over) it's not a problem. My girlfriend leaves it wherever she wants cause I dont really see it as a problem. As far as peeing on the lid goes, however, I can't say I've ever done that- even drunk. I'm not fond of piss on my shoes which would be my expected outcome. I am, however, guilty of missing in my past tho', especially when drunk =) J Wow, who’d have thought I’d agree with military protocol!

Each toilet will have it's own roll of toilet tissue--one with the paper unrolling from the top and the other with the paper unrolling from the bottom.

I don't know if it was just so it was easier for them to inspect, or if it was just more sanitary. From a male perspective, if you leave a toilet seat down in a public restroom, it is just inviting someone to pee all over it.

There's no generic right answer for everyone but I think that there can be between particular couples: Why must Thomas put the seat down every time? I'm sure he's trained to raise it each time. Why can't you re-train your behavior to lower it each time? I'll tell you what I do later =) I must of course pose the question to you.
