I specify men’s restroom since there are alternatives to peeing which don’t involve a toilet seat.

    We had this problem in a communal bathroom in a dorm I lived in. People were practically coming to blows over it. Turns out that when the toilet flushed, it would spray piss up out of the bowl onto the seat. We all thought it was someone else, but it was really every one of us inadvertently.

    How about when there’s that bit of filth at the back, center you know came from their ass crack?

    It’s even worse when you know who it is, because now it’s like you have x-ray vision to their ass crack.

      People are required to wipe down sweaty gym equipment, they should also be required to wipe down the shitter. IDK why this isn’t a thing.

    This is why I piss into the sink instead. And since I didn’t have to touch any surfaces beside my own wiener, I don’t even have to worry about washing my hands.

      I’ve literally gone into public bathrooms with no urinals, only stalls, and the seats don’t lift up. You have no choice but to aim and pray.

      Except I’m not a degenerate and I’ll grab some paper and wipe anywhere I missed.

          When I pee sitting down, I always have some more trickle out when I stand up. That can cause more mess to clean up than the alternative. Is that not a common issue? Do I, like Hank Hill, have a narrow urethra?

    Not mildly.

    Majorly.

    I had part of my digestive tract removed. I can’t afford an accident at the urinal.

    I don’t want to touch it either, but if you’re going to stand in front of a public toilet, just lift the damn seat.

    I drive really slow in the ultra fast lane 
    While people behind me are going insane

    I’m an asshole !

    I use public toilets, and I piss on the seat 
    I walk around in the Summer time, saying, “How about this heat?”

    I’m an asshole !

    Some people can’t use a urinal. Medical issues.

    That being said, they should still be cleaning up after themselves. Leaving the seat a mess for other people is horrendous.

      I’ve seen a lot of cases where people are using the toilet as a urinal. That seems to be where most of the piss is coming from.

      That said, if someone can’t use a urinal and needs to use a toilet, I don’t know why they aren’t sitting down on the toilet. I can’t think of a condition which in which you can’t use a urinal but you can stand and pee onto a toilet seat.

    I think you’ve got two types of people doing this:

    • penis people who just plain can not be bothered to lift the seat. The types of folks who bumble through life haphazardly, don’t wear seat belts, let dishes pile up, put the sour cream back in the fridge without putting the lid back on, who never bother to wash their feet or legs in the shower because they think the soap that washes down their body will handle it, people who drink the last of the coffee without making another pot. Selfish, but also kinda physically grody.
    • vagina people who hover. These people I do not understand.

    It’s fucking gross.

    I always wipe down every seat with enough toilet paper I feel like I’m not going to directly touch any pee. It’s just an ingrained habit from decades of living with people who like their toilet seats cold, moist, and yellow.

    Tap for NSFW

    My least favourite is when it seems like they didn’t even pull back the foreskin or something, and just completely cover the entire toilet, seat, and floor, with a fine spray of urine. Lovely. I wipe down everything with like 20 squares of tp and then wash my hands before even doing my business.

        Just lift the fuckin seat to pee then omg

        Use your foot for that if you have to

        1. wipe seat. It’s fine.
        2. If you’re at a seat, be seated; standing is over there.
        3. wash hands like silkwood after

        Is this only trivial for gen-X?

            Right? This is absolutely a non issue.

            I guess unless you’re incapable of balancing on one foot for 3 seconds.

              As a reminder to passersby, there are actually people that can’t balance on one foot at all. Or even lift it that far.

                Exactly, but the vast majority of people could balance on one foot for 3 seconds. There are even walls and a door to balance against.

                Or, people could just use the hands they’re going to be washing in a few seconds.

                  Ngl, I’m not sure I want to lean against walls either. Public toilets rarely have lids, and even less often are they used when they do have them. So you’ve got the usual aerosolized poo water landing everywhere.

                  But I agree that good hand washing fixes half of the problem. The half being trying to aim a penis one handed, then zip up one handed too. I can aim one handed, not so much the zipping lol.

                  Truth be told though, the types of pathogens involved are fairly low, and they don’t all survive well on hard surfaces. But they aren’t non existent, and the ones that will transfer that way tend to be the worse ones. Enough so that I don’t blame anyone for being upset at a pissy seat, much less a crappy crapper.

      I actually never understood how some guys have apparently a hard time simply aiming. I never had a problem with that in my life myself.

        Dual stream can be an issue. But when it is, I clean up my fucking piss. People are gonna miss or splatter; a decent human being should clean up after themselves. Most people are not decent human beings.
