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.

[–] morgan_423@lemmy.world 80 points 11 months ago (4 children)

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.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.one 4 points 11 months ago

And this is why god invented the paper ass gasket

[–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Exactly, don't even sit on it to shit. That's what core muscles are for

[–] DrQuint@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

This is the way.

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 21 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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.... πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ™„... fragile masculinity.

I work in construction, half the men have dirty asses cause its gay to touch your asshole. I wish I was exaggerating.

[–] Llewellyn@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Okay.. how did you get to know about their dirt asses?

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] Wahots@pawb.social 2 points 11 months ago

I'll give your straight coworkers that one, none of the gay men I know talk about their assholes.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@sh.itjust.works 10 points 11 months ago

No it's both you should see the amount of men who physically recoil when I tell them I sit to pee

[–] evatronic@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Fuck that, I love sitting down to piss. It's like a free break AND I get to let the boys out for a few minutes?

The only times I won't are when the bathroom is already filthy, or the toilet water is too high and my junk goes for a dunk if I sit.

[–] Boggy@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (3 children)

You either have an annoying plumbing problem or a massive piss lizard. I guess both is possible too.

[–] Getawombatupya@aussie.zone 7 points 11 months ago

Yank toilets have this wierd bowl design, where there's like 2 litres of water in the bowl at all times

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Lost it at piss lizard 🀣

I'm not going to brag, but my junk hangs low. I'm also in the US. Some toilets are ridiculously full by default, especially older models.

I bet you eat corn the long way.

[–] playxdestroy@sopuli.xyz 2 points 11 months ago

Lmao I looked at your history, you’re a weirdo

[–] Esjee@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Legit can't understand why anyone want to sit down to pee when it can be done standing up.

As for the poor aim issue, get better.

[–] weew@lemmy.ca 22 points 11 months ago

there's also the legendary twin stream

[–] Odusei@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

You're forgetting misfires can happen soon after ejaculation (and probably other things).

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Could be some sort of health condition maybe? Like, they had to have a spray nozzle grafted to their urethra?

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.one 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I sometimes switch mine to mist on accident.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I get you, the switch is right there! Such a stupid design.
