This has pissed me off for years.
I've asked,and been told that's how it is, get used to it. I now just piss all over the seat. Get used to it.

My answer...
The toilet is left with both seat and lid down.

It means whoever has to use the toilet needs to move the seat, so nobody gets an unfair advantage in the 'having to lift the toilet seat' stakes, but more importantly, it is just much nicer to leave the toilet closed...
It means when you flush the toilet it contains any splashing from the flush to the toilet itself (the typical toilet being able to easily move particles to the other side of the room, usually just next to your toothbrush sitting next to the sink) and the covering of the bowl means nothing can be dropped in and gives the use of the toilet as a handy seat for putting on socks or whatever else if you don't feel like balancing against the radiator. Also it just looks nicer...
