CMV: I should not be solely responsible for putting the seat down.

I have noticed my significant other REALLY hates when i do not put the seat down. I understand i am also the one that picks it up. 

The problem here is that i am actively working towards a goal that we both benefit from: no piss on the seat.  Granted, it is nice for both of us to not have to sit on the seat that might have piss on it.  But at the same time i am expected to do the work of picking up AND putting down the seat when the ratio of me sitting down to her sitting down is very small, most likely 1:3.  

My point here is that if I am actively working for a goal for both of us, especially one that she enjoys 66% more, I should AT MOST be responsible for 50% of the effort.  

In order to change my view on this matter, you must convince me that it is justifiably my responsibility to both pick up and put down the seat.  This, or any points you think may sway my opinion.

Thank you!

We are not talking about an all else being equal scenario. 

You don't have to use the bathroom standing up, you want to use the bathroom without having to sit. She cannot use the toilet with the seat up. She has no other options. You are making a choice to do something with the seat that is specifically for your benifit of which she derives no benifit. 

Given that you are doing something specific to you of which she derives no benifit, something which prevents her from doing what she needs to, it should be you who puts everything back into order. 

What you're asking is like for her to do your dirty dishes because she also uses dishes sometimes. She cannot derive any benifit from the dirty dishes unless she addresses their dirtyness, while you gained the benifit of their use without setting them back to a place where they could be used again.
