If you leave the bathroom in a noxious state, is it more polite to leave the door open or closed when you're done?

Asked by laureth (27199points) November 29th, 2009

Where I came from, it was considered polite to leave the bathroom door open when you’re done so any offensive smells would soon dissipate and the next person using the john could do so in relative comfort. However, I have lived with roomies who insisted that the proper way to behave in this situation is to close the bathroom door, containing the poison gases in a way that would not offend the people in rooms nearby (but heaven help you if you go in there).

Which is considered more appropriate in your house?
