    ~50% of people are capable of using it while standing, that doesn’t mean all want to. I’ve heard a fair number of men rag on men who won’t sit on their own toilet and splash piss everywhere, since it just makes a mess you have to clean up. So the math is actually tipped more in favor of sitters, who make up a non-zero proportion of people who are able to pee while standing, plus everyone who’s obligated to pee while sitting.

    I think it’s weird to care about lifting the lid, but leaving it up shows you left it open while it flushed and that’s kinda gross to a lot of people.

      People who pee standing are banned from my house. I don’t even care if they’re willing to sit, I’m not taking the risk, specially if there will be alcohol involved and they could forget it and make a mess on my bathroom.

          I just don’t invite people to my home until I’m reasonably convinced they sit to pee. Usually if it comes up in a conversation and they say it, I’m not sneaking behind bathroom doors to hear them peeing if that’s what you thought. And if my bathroom is a mess after someone came to my house for the first time, they’re not getting invited again. Never happened though.

            Bro you sound like a real life Seinfeld character. I feel like you need a crocheted sign in your loo that says “stand to piss, you get the dis” or “sit to pee, you’re alright with me”
