I actually do just leave the lid down completely for that reason. I have a cat who thinks that drinking out of the toilet is the best thing ever.
I don't ask that everyone in my household do the same, but that's generally how I do things.
The thing that actually irks me about my housemates in relation to the bathroom is this:
Our bathroom door, if the door stop is not put in front of it, will close on its own behind whoever leaves the bathroom. It also has no lock. I always put the doorstop back in place so that people know the bathroom is available.
My housemates, however, rarely do the same. This means that whenever I need to use the bathroom, I always have to knock and wait for a response. There have been instances where they've been in the bathroom listening to their ipods (on the toilet, for God knows what reason) and not heard me, and I've walked in on them in the bathroom on multiple occasions because of this.
It's really NOT that hard to slide the doorstop in front of the door. I just slide it over with my foot when I'm leaving the bathroom, and it takes maybe one second to do.
