gross, dude. I don’t pee on the seat and make a very serious point of raising the seat including in public restrooms. And if there’s women using the same toilet, about 99% of the time I’ll lift the seat to pee and then close the lid afterwards.
Blue or purple would be an interesting conversational topic.
Male. I think the faux pas is more not lifting the seat. I live in a female dominated household (two daughters, one wife, at the last count) and I’ve been browbeaten into submission on that score.
Making an apology is the normal course of action if you make a mess in a someone else’s house. After going, on return to the dinner table, I believe the accepted course of action is to tap your glass, cough discreetly, and say “Many apologies. I’ve got a long, floppy penis, and during my visit to the bathroom, I have redecorated your toilet seat a delicate shade of yellow (substitute relevant colour). I liked the colour scheme, so I’ve left it for you all to admire.”
I think you’ll find that your hosts will find that perfectly acceptable. I know it worked for me.
If you sprinkle
when you tinkle,
Be a sweetie and
Wipe the seatie
It’s not “gross,” but it is inconsiderate.
Isn’t it kinda gross to be sitting on a seat liberally doused with piss but then wiped off (but not cleaned)? I mean, we’re objecting to the unsanitary qualities of piss-on-the-seat here, not the unaesthetic qualities, correct? If there were pure, sterilized water sprinkled on the seat, no one would have a problem, apart from needing to dry oneself after one has sat in it–you wouldn’t be all skeeved out, though. Well, if he used some toilet paper to blot the sprinkled piss, you wouldn’t feel the difference but you’d still be sitting in the same disgusting germs, wouldn’t you?
ETA: as to the poll question–I am a man (I am NOT an animal!!)
I’ll admit I’m not entirely clear on one detail here. Did this guy pee standing up, with the seat down?? Because otherwise, how do you get piss on the seat in the first place? To answer the OP’s question, I’m a man, and I’d give him all kinds of grief about it, assuming it’s a friend. (Friends must tolerate much more verbal abuse than strangers, at least with my friends.) The only reason you don’t raise the seat on the toilet is because you’re going to sit on it. And if you experience any kind of accidental sloppiness, you clean it all up before you leave the room. Yeah, I’d be saying something like “dude, after this, you piss outside with the rest of the animals.”
You mean he didn’t lift the seat? That’s disgusting. Obviously, if I peed anywhere I wasn’t supposed to in somebody else’s house, I’d clean it up (unless I was trying to send a message).
I always put down both the seat and the lid when I’m not using a toilet; otherwise things fall in.
maybe he’s trying to mark his territory.
Does your husbands’ friend have a thing for you?
gross, clean it up

Another solution to this problem would be to issue the friend with a urine collection bag when he next visits you.
I don’t know much about them, unfortunately. They may come in various sizes so you need to call and ask the guy how large his penis is before you make the purchase. I’m not suggesting you fit the bag personally when he arrives (you can if you want to, of course) but he may require training of some kind before he actually needs to use it. Urine Management systems are notoriously error-prone if used incorrectly.
The bags are available with capacities of up to 2 litres, so as long as you don’t provide too much beer, everything should be OK.
No, he’s more like a little brother… he’s mostly afraid of me.
Chez Guevara, they come in the same sizes that condoms do; medium, large and extra large. Small doesn’t exist, curious.
Baldwin, he didn’t put the seat up. He wasn’t drunk.
Female here and I find it horrible! Yuk! Although I know I wouldnt have the balls to bring the seat sprinkler up on it!
Guy. How f!#@$ing retarded do you have to be not to lift the seat and clean up afterwards? And that includes the rim and the floor if you missed.
Sprinkle some water on your husband’s kitchen chair and when he sits in it tell him not to worry because you’re confident it’s sterile.
Male and completely unacceptable. This is the point where I would go back in the room and say “Do I look like your fucking monkey butler? Go clean up after yourself!” and then give him grief at precisely calculated intervals for the rest of the evening.
Reminds me of a roommate I had at Georgetown senior year… had worse aim than a blind, palsied fireman and never cleaned it up, yet somehow his bedroom was tidy and spotless.
Male. It’s very poor manners to sprinkle the seat and not clean it up., Not sure that making a scene over it was the right reaction though. But if someone fed me the “it’s just urine! It’s sterile!” line, I’d offer to wash their dinner plate with it.
Male - Does your husband have a customary time he grabs the paper and walks into the bathroom for 15 minutes on the throne? If so, get in there before he does and pittle on the seat. I know it’s hard, awkward, and a bit childish - but so what! He said you over reacted, he obviously doesn’t understand or was posturing for his friends.
That aside, I’ve been yelled at enough by Mrs.Phlosphr to know to wipe if I miss the bowl.
This is a good one.
And agreed on the comment that urine is only sterile while it’s in the body. If left to sit around, that’s an entirely different matter! (It’s obviously not a complete antiseptic since you can have urinary system infections.)
I don’t really see it as having anything to do with urine specifically, as it could just as easily have been spitting, drinking from a jug in your fridge, whatever. Fact of the matter is a guest came into your house and did not extend you or your belongings the respect they deserve. He was a pig and I see nothing wrong with you calling him on it.
You doing so insures one of two things; either he’ll be more respectful to you or the owner of the next house he visits, or he understand why he’s never been invited back.
Male. As others have said, there are a number of things wrong here.
- The guy can’t be bothered to lift the seat first.
- The guy can’t be bothered to aim properly.
- The guy can’t be bothered to clean up after himself.
Yes, he’s a jerk.
The other day I went in to the bathroom at work and there was pee on top of the urinal! How the hell does pee get on top of the urinal? Now that’s some lousy aim!
Male.
It’s gross not necessarily because he mis-aimed (I’ve accidentally done that), but because he didn’t clean it up.
I always lift the seat.
I usually kneel so that there is less splashing.
If I get any on the rim, I wipe it off. (never got any on the seat).
If I see any shit splatters on the inner sides of the bowl, I try to piss them off (that is, I try to disintegrate them with the force of my urine stream–it’s like a game, Pissing Off the Shit).
Maybe some day, I’ll be too old to kneel. If I ever win the lottery, I’m installing a urinal.
Oh, and male, by the way.
