Counter point: I know plenty of people who close the lid and then flush, then leave. So when you open the toilet you're greeted by a floater or shit streaks over the bowl.
I flush with it open, check if it's clean (otherwise use the brush and flush again) then leave.
If you want to close the lid you'd have to close it, flush, open it and check, clean, close it again. Are you doing that?
Counterpoint, if you leave the lid open, you're flinging shit particles all over the bathroom, potentially onto toothbrushes.
That was tested with Mythbusters. When your toothbrush is nearby there was hardly a difference if you flush open or closed, sorry :)
‘Hardly a difference’ and ‘no difference at all’ matters when it comes to ingesting doo doo particles. I opt for the absolute least amount possible… preferably none.
Ah, it had no lid, and unfortunately that part of the end-scene is cut off on YouTube. It was this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb-_KRh8asM
The control toothbrushes outside the bathroom had the same amount of fecal coliformes on them. That stuff is everywhere, it doesn't matter if you flush lid open or closed.
Run this quick experiment for me.
Hold your toothbrush/phone/anything on your bathroom counter above the toilet, with the lid open, then drop it. Repeat the experiment with the lid closed.
Which one offered a more preferential result?
I've never in my 33 years in life dropped something in an open toilet bowl. My toothbrush is above the sink, not the toilet. The only thing I store above the toilet is a spare roll of toilet paper.
I avoid the non-preferential result by...well...not dropping things in the toilet.
I'm in my late 30s and have literally never dropped anything in the toilet that I wasn't intending to.
Sounds like a personal issue; maybe try not to be so clumsy?
