You Find Economics in the Strangest Places.


This is an honest to goodness graduate paper on the efficiency of leaving the toilet seat up, or lowering it. Check out the equations.

All I know is that my mom goes crazy whenever someone leaves the toilet seat up, so for me, it's more economical to leave it down.

Were we even supposed to comment this week?

Ugh gross. Leave it down as a courtesy to women in the house.

That is wonderful information you have left us Justin. Yet I do believe this debate is rediculous. It take .842 seconds to raise or lower a toilet seat. Laziness both ways you look at. Guys are too lazy to put it down and girls are too lazy to put it up. Girls do complain that it is gross when guys leave it up, but i think it is gross when girls don't put it up.

Men should put it down when they are done, but also women should put it up when they are done.

It is to much work to be raising and lowering a toilet seat. Im already to busy to be spending my time on something that hard, so i just leave it down at all times ..plus it makes it funner

I wonder what grade this guy got on his paper. I for one am a girl and have never complained when a guy has left the seat up. I mean it's kind of gross but I have more important things to complain about than the position of the toilet seat.

I think that if the person, regardless of gender, to last use the toilet should put down not only the seat but also the lid thus equalizing the inconvience among the sexes.

Everyone should put the lid and the seat down. then we would not have this argument.
