public toliet seats improvement question

[exist]

why doesn't anyone make toliet seats that use springs to keep the seat up at all times? then no one would piss on the seats and when someone needed to use the seat they can just push it down. tell me why this wouldn't work.

it would be hard to put the paper gaurd thing on it if it had spings.

Whenever I try the paper guard thing it ends up sticking to my sweaty ass, or falling into the can, spraying me with bowl-water or something. I just pretend no one else ever uses this particular toilet (which is hard when the seat is still warm, but I digress....)

Also, in response to the OP, the springs would eventually wear down and the toilet seat would remain at half-mast all the time, which would create more splash-back and what not when pissing.

better than piss on a toliet though, right?

[billygrippo]

in europe (and maybe elsewhere) they have these automatic pay toilets. they are usually single toilets and have an automatic door. they also self-clean. unfortunately the only ones i saw were turkish-toilet style. you know, just a hole in the ground.

so is it correct that the springs would wear out? is there any way around this?
