No. Closing the lid also protects your expensive porcelain from clumsy plumbers who drop hammers. If you travel on trains in China (not the flashy new high-speed ones) they have stainless-steel squatters which are sometimes heavily dented. I always wonder what happened. Possibly one of these people who poops golf-balls used it?

--- End quote ---
Famously, in Australia, poisonous spiders hide under the toilet seat... You're welcome! :evil:
While we're on the subject of urban legends, toilets in Australia don't swirl the "other way round" from the Northern Hemisphere, because 1) coriolis force is too weak, and more importantly 2) Australian toilets are "washdown" style and don't swirl at all (video bragging about superior Aussie toilet technology :psyduck:).

This is obviously the toilet for people who poop baseballs.

Am I missing something here? LOOK AT THE FREAKIN' TOILET BEFORE YOU SIT DOWN, LADIES!!! Do you change lanes without looking or take off running with your eyes closed? Why is the bathroom so freakin' different than LIFE?!?
*rant done, gotta poop*
--- End quote ---
Actually, I take offense to this. I do switch lanes without looking and there is an annual running-with-your-eyes-closed every year, similar to the running of the bulls, in my household.
That is sarcasm, of course. Its actually bi-annual.
Welu:
Jumping into the thread so excuse me if someone else made this point but at first I thought this strip came about because Jeph watched a recent South Park episode.
I've always thought of the seat up/down default as down if there's a woman in the house simply because of the odds. Women sit for both situations and blokes (usually) sit for one situation and stand for another. That's a three in four chance the seat will need to be down.

--- End quote ---
It doesn't seem as extreme in this comic.

1. Faye is (knowingly!) blind as Stevie Wonder without her glasses, yet she walks around without them on.
--- End quote ---
From their attire I'm guessing they're about to go to bed or in bed. She probably already took them off and just needed to go. I'm very blind without my glasses but if I wake up in the middle of the night and am groggy, or even not groggy but really need to get up, I just don't think to put my glasses on most of the time.

Edited three times and I forgot to say this: I really like Faye's expression in the last panel. I have that expression and thought a lot.
pwhodges:
If I go to pee at night (due to boredom)* I sit, because it's too dark to see my aim from standing - turning on the lights would hurt my eyes and wake my wife, neither a good thing. So seat down as a habit suits me too; but I also have the habit of feeling for the seat with my hands before committing my weight to it.
* You have about a 2% chance that my avatar will match that remark.
