Lids up or down?

1) Do you keep your toilet lid (not seat) up or down by default?

2) Do you grill with your grill lid open or shut? 

Two little mini-disputes with the Mr. and I am curious to see the majority rule

Re: Lids up or down?

  • 1) Do you keep your toilet lid (not seat) up or down by default? Down typically

    2) Do you grill with your grill lid open or shut? It depends on what we're grilling, but I think H usually grills with the lid shut (he does most of the grilling.)

  • Down and down. Though the grill is gas, charcoal would be different.
  • 1) Do you keep your toilet lid (not seat) up or down by default?  Down.  I will never understand why people leave it up.  Even clean toilets are gross.

    2) Do you grill with your grill lid open or shut?  I'm pretty sure DH grills most items with the lid down.  We have a gas grill, if it matters.

  • Down on both.

    It makes me crazy when visitors leave the toilet lid up. Between the cats and the toddler, I think it is best to keep the lid down.

  • Down and down. Especially with the toilet. My two year old tries to put everything he can in the toilet.

  • 1) Do you keep your toilet lid (not seat) up or down by default? Typically down (in case we do not latch the door we don't want the dog getting in there)2) Do you grill with your grill lid open or shut? Depends on what he is grilling but typically down as well.

  • Down on both for me. I wish DH would be better about putting the seat down though. I absolutely hate touching the toilet seat.
  • Up and it entirely depends on what's cooking, whether it's just getting seared or cooked through, how hot the grill is, etc etc.

    I try to keep the toilet lid closed, but H and I both forget regularly.  And my cats like to use it as a post litterbox footbath, and the dog will drink out of it, so we have lots incentive to remember, but we never do.

  • 1) Do you keep your toilet lid (not seat) up or down by default?  I keep the lid up.  Since having DD, if I have to pee, I have to pee, and I need to do it immediately.  Having to put the lid up is time I don't always have.  This is an issue only because DH is in the habit of putting seat and lid down after he pees.  I can't fault him for it - it's not that my way is "right", but man do I wish he could break his habit for my sake LOL

    2) Do you grill with your grill lid open or shut? DH is the grill master.  I've never turned the thing on or cooked on it (we're such a stereotype).  I believe he grills with the lid shut for the most part, unless we're doing something like pizza or shrimp that cooks up very quickly and should be watched and removed ASAP.

  • Lid down for me but DH refuses to listen.....  this is one of my annoyances with him.  He can't even put the seat down. I told him if my pregnant ass falls in, in the middle of the night, it will not be pretty!! Oh and one of our cats loves to play in the toilet, always fun!

    Lid down for cooking on the grill.

  • 1) Do you keep your toilet lid (not seat) up or down by default?  Down! I believe that when you flush, tiny particles of pee can fly into the air, swirl around and land on everything in the bathroom, including your toothbrush! So we keep the seat down to prevent that as much as possible, haha. Any scientists on here that can back that up?

    2) Do you grill with your grill lid open or shut? I believe DH likes to grill (charcoal) with the lid off.

    This is true, and not just for pee! Lots of studies have shown this. Oh and I'm not a scientist, but I do have biology degree, does that count? lol.

    having said that there are plenty of times in our house the lid gets left open (as I always witness the cat drinking out of the toilet).

  • Down and down.  The pets will get into the toilet and that grosses me out plus the particulate thing plus I just think it looks nicer.
  • 1) Do you keep your toilet lid (not seat) up or down by default?  Down for sure.

    2) Do you grill with your grill lid open or shut?  It depends on what we are grilling but usually it's down.

  • Toilet - Down.  This has been drilled into DH since he was potty trained and I had to learn the habit when I first started going over to my in-laws house.  Now it is automatic.

    Grill- No idea, DH does the grilling.

  • Toilet lid must be down. Between the cat and the idea of germs, I always keep it down.

    DH does all the grilling. I believe it depends on what he's cooking whether it's up or down

  • Down and down

    The dog will drink out of the toilet if left open so it is down the bulk of the time. The only time left open is at night or if i'm in the shower, but even the little fingers are roaming the house so it's best down. 

    We have a gas grill, so the bulk of items are with the lid shut.

  • Down and shut.

    W/ the toilet, DS will not only put stuff in, but he will climb right in if the bathroom door is open.  I try and keep the bathroom door closed all of the time anyway.
