I only leave the toilet seat up when my wife and family are out of town
Why do you leave the seat up?
Because it makes me feel good and I hate having to touch the toilet seat.
It's fine that you leave the toilet seat up when your wife and family are away. If no one else is around then they aren't affected by it. But when they're home then you should put it down because it's rude to leave it up.
That's what I said I do, I'm not inconsiderate. I told you I only do it when I'm home alone.
That makes sense. I think it's good that you're considerate of your family like that. Perhaps one day, you'll have your very own toilet just for you and you can leave the seat up whenever you want!
