I made a deal with my girlfriend:
I'd leave the toilet seat down for her,
if she'd leave it up for me!
Heh!
This was a compromise only after she failed to grasp the significance of "The Aerosol Effect": Flushing disperses an aerosol that leaves a disgusting film on the toilet seat, whether the lid is down or not. Ergo, to avoid sitting on it - ugh! - the seat must remain up. (Who has time to wait until the flushing completes to put it back down?)
