Lots of people say this, but i sit and stand on it anyway.
When i was very young, i was practicing my saxophone embouchure on my mouthpiece while i was going to the bathroom. When i flushed, i looked down at the water going down the toilet bowl, and my mouthpiece fell into the toilet and got flushed away.
I can't go back in time, so ever since that day I've taken pains to remove the risk of things falling into the toilet, especially while it's flushing.
One example is if i have to retrieve something from the cabinet on the wall above the toilet, i make sure the lid is closed first.
The lid is only for blocking the toilet if you are about to risk dropping something in there accidentally. If you aren't doing anything complicated in the bathroom or need to sit or stand on the lid for some reason, it's just in the way.
Otherwise, keep the lid up and the seat down for quick access in diarrhea situations.
I use a paid service (which might itself depend on one of those 3rd party bank syncing companies, idk), but it's wild to me that banks haven't figured this out yet and cut out the middleman. They can't want their customers to be exposed to more risk than necessary
