My grandfather was fastidious about keeping the toilet seat down (yeah, I know...odd for a guy...) and would give us a hard time if we left the lid up. He said it was 'cause rats come up out of the toilet and get into the house. I'm still not sure about that one? Anyone wannna confirm that??? I kept the lid down from then on, however.
