Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Please. For the love of God. Close the lid on Porta Potty and those dump toilets found in national parks. There is an exhaust vent to let the stink out. They don't work when you leave the lids up.
Grandson was being scolded by the females in the family about leaving the seat up. So, I tried an experiment. I declared that I like both seats down. The seat plus the cover seat. Well, I didn’t press the issue, but the cover seat never gets put down. Apparently the toilet needs to be at the ready to sit on but never ready for standing or just being in it’s fully closed position. Thankfully, DGS is getting better at putting the seat down. It was getting him in trouble.
Not intending to hijaak. Being male, and single living on my own without a spouse to report to, I've in the past had the seat up (more convenient for the guy). Plus, regardless of seat up or down, I've always thought, gotta touch the bar either way, so what's the point?
But after I having a discussion with a female friend about the seat up vs seat down controversy, I've switched to seat down. Main reason, that's the courteous thing to do. I've got to the point now that feels odd to leave the seat up.
Now about the hovering controversy, I'm gonna let the women here fight their own battles and know when to stay out of the scrum .
No, my friend was an American Ivy-Leager.Do you have a Russian video of that one?!
A business idea: disposable water soluble paper funnels for men and women on a wall dispenser. Seat on a spring so it is up unless sat upon.

... Imagine my surprise during our train journey when I went to use the toilet in the car and it was merely an opening in the floor that dropped human waste on to the tracks below.
Has not been standard practice in the US for quite some time. May still be true elsewhereThe practice of dropping human waste down to the tracks is in use worldwide, even here in the US. There was once a story of some US hikers getting dumped on when they were walking under a trestle rail bridge. Don't ever walk under a rail bridge, or even along a rail.
It is not as gross as one immediately thinks, because dispersed human waste would disintegrate into the soil, not too differently than waste from wild animals.
And this is also why they lock up the restrooms on railcars when the train approaches a station, or within a city limit.

You do not wish to be in a house late at night, wherein a female in a hurry rushes into a poorly lit bathroom and, ahem, falls in.

Believe me. I know this all too well. One of three boys growing up with a single mother. Yep, one night she fell in. I’m not sure if she whooped all three of us or what, but about 50 years later, I still have a memory of it. Another good reason to have the seat down and the lid closed. Double protection from any inadvertent fall in’s.
I agree.
As an aside, I am the mother of six sons.
^ this creeps me out. The fact that I used to walk along railroad tracks. And now I find out that human waste could have been strewn about. The speed of the train obviously creates a large debris field when a train toilet flushes, making it harder to notice.
You should be awarded a congressional medal of valor. I'm saying this as the father of only two sons. How in the h*ll did you manage??!!
LOL, as you can imagine, there were some bumps along the way . . .
