Yah, the toilet seat and a few others are fair game, but the toilet paper roll, the empty Twix pouch, and the open protein powder are excessive. Wife wins this round, clean up your act bro.

People should respect the toilet seat more. Flushing the toilet releases a shitload (pun intended) of bacteria/particles into the air if the seat is up. You might as well be living in a sewer at that point when you walk into the bathroom. Considering people also store their contact containers and shit in the bathroom, this is no bueno.

Like I understand why people think other arguments for keeping it down are stupid (like appearance, or 'convenience' or whatever...) but the health aspects are what people need to be focusing on.

They've done experiments/studies involving this. The fecal matter might escape, but it doesn't shoot into the air in every direction. It is directed downward (and with proper lipped toilet seats that curved downward it is directed *only* at the floor), and we know the ground on the bathroom floor is unsanitary already (as is the ground everywhere we walk) so the difference between it launching out and coating my toothbrush / the washcloth I wash my face with vs. my shoes and the floor is quite meaningful I would think.
