So the cats can't crawl out. (Bilge has taken over my mind. I'm fucked.)
It is a hold over, to limit air flow and prevent an obscene amount noxious fumes from entering the water cloest. These days, it prevents the vast majority of water that aresolizes from spreading around your bathroom.
It is covering a place where a social taboo occurs.
My thoughts and opinions, take them as such, nothing more, nothing less.

The lid is for comfort.
Its more comfortable to sit on the lid rather than the seat when I am locked in the bathroom masturbating.
Lids are there so that you can sit in comfort while eating a sandwich and drinking a swift beer. They`re also a useful surface for writing letters on.
Actually I think its probalby because people put so much crap on the back of their toilets, and sink next to the crapper, that to prevent massive clogs from random stuff falling in a lid was necessary. Seriously, how many peoples places have you ever visisted that had enough stuff on the back of the toilet to fill a small closet?
We keep our toothbrushes in a drawer for the air floatie reason.
Lids are most likely for aesthetic reasons most and then cleanliness reasons second. Who wants to see poo streaks?

LOL...Logjam, resistance is futile, come to the dark side...use the cat...er...force..whatever. I USUALLY keep the lid down to keep my razor or toothbrush (yes, Di) from falling in. I'm pretty aggressive when it comes to teeth brushing and face scraping....like I can pare away the ugly, or something, and often times those darn things just go flying, ricocheting off three walls and the ceiling before splash down.

Hell, I don't even keep my toothbrush in the bathroom at all!!! I keep it in the dresser drawer in my bedroom.
It a good place to do a line of coke
Gives women something else to bitch about..._______Happy crappin' http://homegrownmedia.com
Leave the toilet seat up at my house. I'll give you something to bitch about.
Go ahead. Leave an open toilet at 3 AM so I douse my entire bumbum in stanky danky pee pee water because you can't close the lid and I'm half asleep. You'd wake up to the sound and feel of THWAP THWAP THWAP THWAP, soaking wet thongs slapping across your eyelids. That would be my way of wringing them out.
Why I oughtta. I'm going to beat you with doniker's underwear toothbrush, that's what I'm going to do.
(doniker, i am sure your toothbrush is clean - i'm just having some fun with the newb - welcome to poopreport, Howleykook. your website looks promising!)
That's exactly what I was referring to... I think I'm going to enjoy it here - feels just like home. Thanks for the warm welcome._______Happy crappin' http://homegrownmedia.com
Put that lid down first, mister. I've got a rolling pin and I'm PMS'ing like a banshee. It could get all sorts of hormonal up in here.
PS Loved the nut bra commercial. Where's my chocolate bar?

So that women have yet another area in which to emasculate men. Remember those carpeted thingies they put on the lids in the 70s and 80s?
But seriously folks...let's talk about this lid thing. Why isn't the ready state of a toilet lid up? Why don't women put the lid down and raise it after they're done instead of us putting the lid up and lowering it after we're done? It seems more inviting with the lid up....like it is looking forward to the disrespect and torture it is about to endure.
Just a thought.....
When you flush, thousands of droplets of highly dirty bacteria-infested water are thrown into the air. Granted, the turds go down; but they have been sitting in the water for seconds to minutes before flushing, to be joined by dirty toilet paper. The harder the flush (i.e., the more pressure), the more droplets escape. In a public toilet, without a lid, there is no getting around it; that water vapor will be in the air. At home, we have the choice to put the lid down before flushing, thus keeping at least some of the dirty droplets in the bowl or on the underside of the lid. Did I say not to lick the underside of the lid? Don't. Of course, there is still room for a small amount of droplets to get out, between the lid and the seat and between the seat and the rim; but the amount is far less, the projection is far less, and the danger of airborne infection is far less. So--when you have the choice, put the lid down before you flush. Obviously, the softer or more liquid your poop, the more it gets mixed with the water that gets blown all over everywhere when you flush.
Hmm... maybe we should seal all kids into plastic bubbles? I'm sure I've gotten sick far more times by kids than by inhaling poop air. Not that I want to inhale poop air. I'm just sayin.
A closed lid also keeps the dogs from drinking out of the toilet.
My dad always puts the lid down because he told us in Philly that rats crawl up thru the sewer pipes and into people's houses so its good to keep the seat down. I dont know if he was breaking our balls BUT I have continued the tradition. I have a lovely clear dolphin toilet seat that I purchased at Target (Tarjay) When you put the lid down at least it makes the poo streaks look nicer._______The Thunderous Crapper 63 Enjoying home toilet advantage since 2004!
I was a big believer in keeping the lid up, until I got a cat who likes water sports.
Hey Uncle Crapper, our brave and fearless leader, Dave, loves fuzzy toilet seat covers.
There is nothing worse than staggering into the bathroom at 3am and peeing on a toilet seat that is down. Gets my fuzzy slippers all wet.
Toilets have lids...
(1) ...because turds like their privacy too.
(2) ... so that the bogyman doesn't escape from the bog.
(3) ...so that people who have waited 5 minutes too long have one more excruciating detail to add to their poop report.
(4) ...in order to torment those poor hung-over souls the morning after a long night of worshipping the Budweiser and Taco Bell gawds.
(5) ... so that cartoon toilets have mouths for those silly toilet bowl cleaner commercials.
(6) ... so that the toilet bowl won't feel jealous of the toilet tank.
(7) ...so that the practical joker's object of affection won't see the celophane wrapped over the toilet bowl.
(8) ...so that the Wisdom of Ages won't escape from the Great White Oracle.
(9) ...so that made-for-TV producers have one more silly sight gag to add to their umpteenth remake of the Poseidon Adventure.
(10) ...so that T-Rex has a crunchy side dish to go with his main course of lawyer.
(11) ...so that dogs won't drink from the porcelain water bowl.
(12) ...so that defense contractors can charge the federal government an additional $6000 for their already over-priced bombers.
(13) ...so that we have something to talk about on PR besides P.
(14) ...because Thomas Crapper's daddy was always telling his noisy, wise-assed son to "put a lid on it already"._______Yo quiero Taco Bell.
I personally think that the toilet lid on home toilets is foe esthetics. Ever since the beginning of indoor plumbing, home toilets have always had lids. Think about it- could you picture one of those black or white commercial-type seats that you see on public toilets on the one in your bathroom? Something about it just wouldn't look right._______Sam Walton has recently requested patrons not shit at Wal-Mart, they are over-stocked!
i always break off the toilet seats when i shit :(
Why the lid? Why the fuck not?!
sorry, I'm a little tired and grumpy this morning... _______Rock-n-roll! Poopy-poo!
In my house it's to keep the cats OUT. _______Merry feeking Christmas and a crappy New Year to all!
To keep the dog out.
Drop your blood pressure medicine in the pot once, and you'll know the answer.
The lid might go back to the time of chamberpots when poopers were in the bedroom and disguised to look like chairs or thrones. The pot was underneath the usual seat with the hole which was underneath the flat seat of the chair. After some wealthy person used it, often before going to bed, the lid was lowered to disguise the fact that a crapper was in the bedroom and to contain the stench until the poor chambermaid came to carry the pot to be emptied. A friend has a very old bed that has the mattress way above the floor. At the end of the bed there is an equally old set of wooden steps that can be used to climb into bed. If you lift the second step, there is a chamber pot. You really want to put that lid down before using the steps.
I think they have lids to keep the stank from seeping outta the toilet bowl.....hmmm or maybe cuz they don't want baby's that just learned how2walk to play sink the battleship w/his fathers unflushed doodie?
