Before this thread goes completely lifeless, let me wrap up what I was going
to say here...

The purpose of the toilet seat lid is supposed to be to keep spray and
atomized water from leaving the toilet when one flushes it.

Many public restroom toilets have no such lids, and often flush VERY
powerfully.  Such flushing power sprays and atomizes the dirty water and it
is the case that in some restrooms urine and fecal matter can be found on
walls, ceilings, mirrors, counters, and washbowls, upwards of 20 feet away.

-- Hop-Frog

The rule at our office is that you stand as far away as you can then "flush
and run", the pressure is so high that the spray can come up at least 3feet.
Of course at home, where we have a lid, the stupid low flow toilet needs to
be flushed twice just to get a fresh bowl. No really the water saver they
meant for it to be.
