Maybe if your MIL were not licking the flat surfaces in your bathrooms so often this wouldn’t be such an issue for her.

That’s because the spray went on your walls and countertops. Leave the paper there through several flushes - you’ll see.

The problem is that the lid doesn’t actually solve this problem. Aerosolized fecal matter stays in the air over the water in the bowl; it’s released when the lid is open again. It has been studied—not just by Mythbusters.

I'll take decreased aerosolized fecal matter over full spray every day of the week.

At the price of messing around with a toilet lid, I’ll pass.

Get a seat without a lid before her next visit. Make yourself a drink and wait.

Suggest she come for shorter visits and pee before arrival.

Mother-in-law is rude and you cannot change that.

Flushing with the lid up is gross, but still: MIL is rude and that won't change.

This has been covered at least six times already. She is talking about the lid, not the seat.

The unsuspecting female does not want to sit on the lid while peeing.

This is the classic example of completely missing the point. The purpose of the post is about the MIL loudly and regularly complaining about “x” in another person’s home. Is that rude? YES. Yes, she’s F*ckin rude.

Is “X” bad manners? Yes, sure, fine. Little children who do “x” should eventually be taught that “x” is not the best manners and they should do “y” in the future. It’s Not relevant at all to the post and there are SO MANY PEOPLE who post regularly that are way too damn stupid to understand how to answer questions.

It’s disgusting to flush a toilet with the lid open. Dirty toilet water gets splashed around the whole bathroom. That’s not an opinion, it’s science.

OP you need to teach your kids to keep the seat closed. They should not grow up thinking it’s acceptable to not close a seat. Gross and also horrible unsuspecting female who sits on it. Team MIL
