Sorry Margaret just wanted to add my two pennorth on this subject.

If he lifts the seat and lid and leaves them up he's done as much work as she does lifting and lowering the lid alone.

No, lowering the lid doesn't take as much effort as lifting it as you have gravity to assist you.

Yes it's a bit disconcerting going to sit on the loo and suddenly finding yourself a few inches lower than you thought you were going to be. Actually the opposite once happened to me - I sat on the loo without noticing the lid was down and before I realised it the floor was very wet... it was on a train - I rushed out of the loo and beat a hasty retreat to the other end of the train!
I look on men leaving the lid/seat up in the same way as we were talking about snoring partners the other day - at least you know they're still there to carry on with their bad habits.
