cuz it makes less of a mess, and is more comfortable. it's called the "toilet seat" for a reason.

When my husband and I started living together I actually told him that he had really bad aim and I don't like having to sit in his piss. And that if he insisted on standing while peeing out of some weird sense of manliness, then I would choose not to clean up the mess he leaves behind all the time, so let's see how fast it accumulates!

I especially don't get it in your own home. There aren't any other men around, so no need to act 'manly' and all it does is force you to clean it more often, which, come to think of it, probably also isn't 'manly' so what? Do they just not clean their own toilets? Ew.

Anyway, dirty toilet seats are a choice. Any time you're forced to use a toilet with piss all over it, it was someone's choice to not care about the next person using the toilet. Many people have accepted it as normal, "it's just what happens" - no, it is a choice. I still can't believe my mother accepted it all those years, tbh. :p

My husband also said it has extra advantages to sit, like being able to pet our cats. So there you have it. Oh and we've lived in Germany for a couple of years now, and I was not at all surprised they have a special word for it. Germans have words for everything.
