My ex always did. I think sharing a bathroom with his older sisters was responsible for that.

I envy you guys being able to stand up in public restrooms. I wish women could do that.

Aiming probably isn't the problem, splash is. I prefer tall urinals in public because I feel the splashback hit my pants on the short ones.

Maybe some guys just piss with more force?

i was taking a shit at work last week and someone went in the stall next to me to pee.

he dropped his pants all the way down around his ankles, to the ground, like he was going to take a shit.

but nope, he faced the toilet and i heard him pissing standing up. i could even see his belt down around his ankles so his pants were dropped all the way.

some people have some odd fucking habits in the bathroom.

It is about picking the correct pissing angle. When the urine stream hits the urinal porcelain at more of a glancing blow instead of a abrupt change of direction, there will be less splashback and it can be minimized altogether with some experimentation. Dont piss straight into it or even into the water. I kinda aim for the inner sidewalls, this way the urine stream does not splash and has a chance to expend all of its forward velocity and by "sticking" to inside wall and having a gradual change of direction before gravity carries it down. This way it calmly flows into the water on its own (like a fountain with flowing water down a vertical wall) with no splash and no piss droplets on your pants or shoes.

From what I've heard from the ladies in my life, women's restrooms are a far cry more disgusting then the men's room. So obviously sitting down to pee isn't more hygienic when you're dealing with a bunch of pigs.

If you splash, wipe the seat. Common courtesy. People just need to learn better manners.

i sit to pee in my own bathroom or if i'm at a girl's apartment or something. but in public or at a guy's place (unless i know he sits, too), i stand.

why? because it's cleaner and it's respectful to the person's bathroom i'm using to sit if they sit. i'd rather not clean my bathroom more than it has to be and not have it smell like a typical guy's bathroom.

like it or not, if you stand to pee, droplets splash out of the toilet and land outside of the toilet every time you pee. if you disagree, you're wrong.

This, though at beginning and end of stream, public urinals are tough to navigate. You don't want to get so close that your shorts/pants touch. Yet you don't want to stand so far that during the "dribble" phase on the fade you start sprinkling your clothes with splash back.

It's a tough gig this pissing business!

Any people don't put the toilet seat up when pissing leading to piss being all over the toilet seat >_< not that I would take a shit at a public bathroom

Yeah, why if the only problem is with urine being sprayed all over the toilet seat, then there are so many workarounds for it. Like installing a small shower head. Just make it mandatory for everyone to use it after peeing. Should be made into a habit, just like flushing the toilet.
Forcing men to sit is just uncalled for. Dicks were not designed to be peed with while sitting, cos if it were, it shouldn't touch the toilet when u sit down.

lets go back to our ancient ancestors. They didn't squat to go pee cause it would run under their feet.

My most ancient ancestor (that I remember) just used to pee in his pants. He also used to pick fights with lamp posts and run around naked in winter.

I think I'll stick to using the loo thanks.

our ancient ancestors didn't have bathrooms they had to clean because it smelled like piss...
