2. My problem is with the really puffy ones.
Hey ladies, you have to realize that this forces the toilet seat down, leaving men with two options: 1) piss on the seat, or 2) stand awkardly, trying to hold the seat up while pissing, usually resulting in pissing all over the floor. Neither option is good for you, so do yourselves a favor and avoid em at all costs.

5. Why not just sit down?
Last I heard, men are not anatomically REQUIRED to piss standing up.

Is it such a diminishing activity to sit while peeing? (Those puffy, tall ones are necessary for people who are mobility impaired, like my grandparents who have arthritis in their knees and hips.)

Just saying that the simple solution seems to be to make use of the equipment....

10. Because standing up for a piss is easier and quicker.
"Just saying that the simple solution seems to be to make use of the equipment...."

Sure, but we're all about making time-saving use of our equipment as well. Plus, it's a lot of fun if a bug has fallen into the toilet.

No lid covers. They make the seat fall down.

3. I think we need to bring back SQUAT style toilets.
That's they got in Japan and I heard they're becoming more popular in the US.

and it's the natural way for humans to defecate, squatting, none of this sitting on a damn chair.

no need for toilet seats!

plus, sitting on a western style toilet gives u hemmroids over time.

SQUAT STYLE TOILETS FOR ALL!!!
