    My guesses:

    • Intoxication: They’re drunk or high enough that they’re not neurologically capable of aiming; the fact that they managed to get it out of their pants at all is astonishing.
    • Narcissism: They’re very important assistant sales managers, talking on their phone through the whole transaction, and aren’t paying attention to what they’re peeing on; just as they don’t remove their dirty dishes from the office meeting rooms after a lunch meeting. Aren’t the help supposed to do that?
    • Helplessness and/or disgust: The toilet was already filthy when they came in, and they didn’t think they were making it any worse.
    • Peevishness: They got yelled at by a scary janitor once for sticking gum under desks.

      Don’t forget fragile masculinity and not wanting to sit down to piss because that’s how women do it.

        Ahhh you’re trying to culture war this when the actual reason is way more sensible and boring than that. Why sit on a potentially dirty toilet seat when you don’t have to? Why even squat above it when you don’t have to? It’s laziness / efficiency, dear, not… 🤣🤣🙄… fragile masculinity.

        Oh, you’ve got a behavior there, but the wrong motivation.

        I sit at home, but I don’t sit on public toilets precisely because dudes have been whizzing all over the seat.

    Related question, why the fuck do some people feel it necessary to grunt, moan, pant, and otherwise loudly vocalize while shitting? Zero people want to hear you, shut the fuck up, you are gross.

      May you be lucky enough to never find out why. Those are not voluntary sounds.

        I still don’t buy it. I’ve had shits where I feel like I’m about to pop a blood vessel and still don’t feel a need to vocalize it. My brother has severe IBS and shitting is basically torture for him the way he tells it, still never hear any yelling coming from the bathroom.

    I did a practicum in a federal prison for a year and somehow my supervisor and I got onto the topic of bathroom use (probably just talking about the reality of incarcerated live). I’ll never forget it because it was such a candid moment for him when he said: real thugs sit. Nothing else added, just let it be said like that. People that don’t clean up after themselves definitely grinds my gears.

    I’ve thought about this a lot over the years, I think it’s just as simple as “all care, no responsibility” meaning if the average punter goes into a public toilet and somebody hasn’t cleaned up after themselves (mistakes happen) then that dude sure as shit isn’t going to clean up but he still needs to go therefore he’ll do his best to be clean but if he has to do some sort of gymnastics to keep himself clean then so be it and if the toilet gets messier as a result of those gymnastics then so be it, the cycle continues.

    I used to hate urinals and I still don’t like them, but I understand the reason behind it, people are animals when it’s not their property.

    Are we entirely sure no women are squatting and also creating this problem? Because I have witnessed exactly that phoenomenon occur in a bathroom before while attending the restroom with previous partners.

      Yeah, women’s restroom have piss on the seats, too. They squat to pee, and there is no aim.

      Turns out, both women and men can be gross and not clean up after themselves

    Also wash your hands afterwards! The pandemic should have highlighted the importance of basic hygiene.

      The pandemic taught me that 90% of public restrooms will leave my hands dirtier than when I started, and risk further infection than if I just go in, piss, don’t touch anything and then front kick that door open.

        I did this during the pandemic in a crowded public bathroom, and people fucking stared at me like I was insane. Granted I used a stall like a urinal, and might have kicked some stuff, but a lot of them weren’t wearing masks so…

          Yeah man, it wasn’t a great time. I only publicly lost it once. I had a young baby at home so I was taking all the precautions imaginable at the time - early days so it was still a big scary bogeyman especially for babies and the elderly.

          I’m masked up grabbing a few things at a local grocery store and this vile woman walking towards me takes off her fucking mask to do a huge sneeze. Sprayed the entire isle with visible particulate. I fucking lost it. I had a can of something in my hands and I threw it violently into the ground sending goop everywhere and started screaming about her being a disgusting bitch and asked her what the point of the mask was. Not my proudest moment. I did my best to stay home after this unless absolutely unavoidable. People are gross.

            Wait, no, I mean I used my feet to do everything, which involved a lot of kicking things in a crowded space, which added that I was a teenager & a black male was probably not a good look. I was pretty agitated though, but not angry. :p
