I came here for this. You could even argue it's easier for the sitters to put it down if you let gravity do the work.*

Also, if you go by the "seat always down" policy, a dude who just wants to pee has to both raise and lower it in one visit. Nah.

There seems to be a lot of contention about this topic so I've assembled an easy HOW TO:

Step 1: Observe Toilet
Step 2: Adjust Seat As Needed
Step 3: Use

Hopefully that resolves the issue. Thank you.
