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.

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

A likely story, seat pisser. J'ACCUSE!

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] pineapple@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

There is this thing called lifting up the seat. DO IT!

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 4 points 1 day ago

I doubt the overwhelming majority of the seat pissers are reading your comment.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

[–] pineapple@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

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

This is why I piss in the back tank of the toilet, so the next person peeing never thinks it flushed.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Ah yes, a good old fashioned upper-decker.
Take a shit up there sometime if you really hate someone.

[–] yannic@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Not mildly.

Majorly.

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

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 33 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

The one's on doesn't are the ones who also doesn't at home and if they do they don't put it down afterwards.
Those people need to be forced to lick toilet seats until they learn some basic manners.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And new seats even have a bump out so you can use your feet.

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago

User name checks out

[–] fyzzlefry@retrolemmy.com 4 points 2 days ago

Its whatever, just wash your hands people.

[–] _deleted_@aussie.zone 29 points 2 days ago (12 children)

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 !

[–] mbp@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 day ago

I've seen this man!!!

[–] LavaPlanet@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

My ex used to laugh about how he would purposefully piss on public toilet seats. Absolute sociopath. I guess Dennis was giving us some screening questions.

[–] EchoCranium@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

More specific, the target practice gets more wild at a pub.

[–] morgan_423@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Zeko9381@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

because sitting just to piss is gay apparently (heard that from multiple people)

[–] neuracnu@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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.
[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 36 points 2 days ago (1 children)

People who hover hover because of people who hover.

For a second I thought you'd come up with a new epithet for people who don't hold up their end of the social contract: penis people. I thought, "that's a new and fun way to call someone a dick." 🤔

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 NSFWMy 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.

I avoid public bathrooms for this reason

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 2 days ago

or shit on the toilet seat, or the walls.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

I usually sit to pee; but since there's piss on the seat, I stand and end up contributing more piss to the already pissy seat. It's a vicious cycle of piss.

[–] SreudianFlip@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago (9 children)

Just lift the fuckin seat to pee then omg

Use your foot for that if you have to

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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?

[–] skeezix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Everything is trivial for gen X. Both the older and younger are clueless

The restrooms at my workplace can get down right nasty. We get a ton of temp workers (I started out as a temp), and they are given very short breaks from the assembly line. At least 20% do not wash their hands. People carry on phone conversations and scroll TikTok in the stalls. The seats, after their breaks, are usually pretty gross. The floors around the toilets get very gross by the end of their shift.

I loathe that spironolactone makes me thirsty, and in turn makes me need to urinate somewhat often. My hovering game is on point though.
