Toilets intended for residential usage have a lid on the seat. The majority of people would probably agree that the toilet simply appears nicer with the seat and lid closed, which is why manufacturers choose to make them in this manner.

Those lids were made to help keep your bathroom cleaner, but they also play a crucial role in limiting the spread of bacteria. You see, every time you flush a toilet, tiny particles that are released into the air can spread germs around the restroom.

For your generally spotless bathroom, this is bad news. Due to the fact that you want the restroom to be a relaxing and respite-filled space, hygiene is crucial.

Fortunately, there is a simple solution to this problem—just close the lid every time! The lid was created to keep germs in the bowl and down the drain, where they belong!

The OP of today's story had a problem with her roommate's boyfriend, Jack. The thing is that he never remembers to put down the toilet seat.

The OP brought it up, and he apologized but said he only grew up with brothers and had a hard time remembering to put it down. Well, he did it again, and the OP spoke up, which led to an argument between her and her roommate.

Read the entire story for yourself below. 

The story's title

The Reddit story went viral with more than a thousand comments in less than a day of being posted

All this Redditor can see is good news

It's insane for someone not to close the toilet lid

If he was conscious of it, then there wouldn't be a problem

He should feel embarrassed about because it's gross

Putting the kid down is important

The resting state of something

The lease needing limit on guests

It is gross to flush with the lid open

It is not something much to ask

A passive reminder is better than calling someone out

Guests need to be asked to not be guests anymore

As simple as it can be

It is basic etiquette

Closing the lid is important

What equality means...

Lowering the toilet seat

Although relaxing showers and opulent baths are highlights of our days, thinking about germs can be a little disappointing. When you flush the toilet and forget to close the lid, germs can float around your bathroom and land on towels, hairbrushes, and even toothbrushes.

No one desires that, which might be what the OP is avoiding, and that is totally understandable.
