It's not exactly an open-ended question but you seem to be having fun with it. Leaving the post up.
I've always wondered, how on earth do people manage to put poop in walls? Our assholes literally point downwards. Some people really bother me.
Edit: a word
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.
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.
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.
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.
I work in construction, half the men have dirty asses cause its gay to touch your asshole. I wish I was exaggerating.
there's also the legendary twin stream
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.
Or just fuckin lift it before you start spraying your pathetic dehydrated weak prostate stream everywhere.
I don't want to sit on public toilets because people piss on the seat, man.
You ain’t licking your butt. Think about all the other things you sit on and then go sit in your house or touch your pants afterwards. Even wiping your hands on your pants after washing them
I mean it was mostly a joke. But I would actually never wipe my hands on my pants. I'm mindful of where I sit and always conscious about where my hands have been.
I use the sink so no one can blame me for the toilet seat
I use the little drains on the floor so I don't have to aim as high
true story. my son has a bit of a phobia for public toilets and one day I was out with him and his sister in the city, riding ferry etc. I could see around lunchtime he needed to go, but he refused as he usually does. after lunch it was obvious he really needed to go and wouldn't make it back home in time (1.5 hour train ride plus time to get back to the station). there was a nicish public toilet at Manly Beach and I walked him in, he had agreed to try as he was clearly desperate.
but he decided no he couldn't go.
so we catch the ferry back to Sydney. again I asked to take him into the toilet as it was quite nice, but he refused. as we got to the train station, there was no excuse. he was bursting. had to go and had no choice. took him into the toilet. it was without a doubt, handsdown, the worst I had EVER been into. there was shit in the floors, smeared on walls, on the frikken toilet seats. piss everywhere. he had no choice. thankfully there was toilet paper.
I cleaned the seat as best as I could with toilet paper. he went.
we disinfected the shit out of both ourselves when we finally got home.
As for OPs question, some people are just plain animals
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.
Amen brother. Hit 35 after gallbladder removal. I'll never poop silently again.
People don't do that for fun haha
Just pray you never have a poop they generates them.
I have constipation problems and I can't stop myself from making those noises, they just kinda come out. Very rude you're just assuming everyone who grunts and makes noises while shitting is doing it on purpose just to annoy you
They're charging up their ki in there obviously
It’s not just men and unfortunately it’s not just piss.
It’s not just public restrooms. I work in an SMALL ALL office building where 75% of the workers are remote and the people who don’t are not low-paid workers and STILL men piss everywhere in the bathroom here too. It’s insane how stupid and selfish our society is.
This is more of a rant isn't it
I'll admit, I typed it while dropping a deuce in the absolutely filthy restrooms at The Florida Mall.
Shitting in a Florida mall. Some people skydive, others free climb, then there's you.
I’ve thought about this more than I’m willing to admit. My theory is that men are scratching their bits while urinating and it causes excessive splatter. 😷
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
As men get older, it becomes more challenging to initiate urination. As a result, the distance the urine stream travels at the beginning becomes unpredictable.
On the other hand, towards the end of urination, the stream becomes weaker and may cause post-dribbling. This also increases the chances of hitting the toilet seat.
Failing to clean the toilet seat afterward is simply pure rudeness though.
Why would you need to clean the seat? Does noone else LIFT the seat beforehand?
You should still clean the rim.
Can we not bring over these ranty non-questions from reddit please
