I wish they didn’t, but they always seem to. Except an ex of mine who sat down to pee (not at my request, it was his preference. Seemed weird to me, but it wasn’t my penis so meh). My live-in-LL’s boyfriend has started staying over pretty often in the last couple of months, and I’m noticing yellow dots and streaks where there were never any before. He never offers to clean the bathroom, either! 
Thanks, TokyoPlayer. Makes sense to me.
We could always blame the bowl, as the Pogues did:
“Tried to take a late-night piss
But the toilet moved, so again I missed
On Rainstreet.”
I have a little portable blacklight like this one. It came with a spray that neutralizes the odor cat pee stains. The black light is to locate pee stains. They light up white under UV light.
It is really sobering to look at the tiles near a toilet bowl in a house where men pee standing up straight. I appreciate it hugely that my husband pees sitting down and that he teaches that to our toddler as well.
Sometimes when I have a splitter, one stream goes in the bowl, the other hits the rim. If I’m lucky. To avoid the middle-of-the-night bathroom cleaning sessions, I tend to sit down these days. At home, at least.

No errant droplets spray from
My laser beam stream
Only on request.
My husband doesn’t seem to spray too much.
My son does constantly (he’s 7).
Seriously, he’ll be peeing and get distracted or bored and just wiggle or turn. I try not to think about it too much.
I got tired of cleaning up after myself, so I solved the problem by peeing into an empty quart-size yogurt container, and then dumping that into the toilet. In my house, the bathtub faucet is within easy reach of the toilet, so I use that to rinse it out afterward (dumping the rinse water in the toilet as well). I change it out every time I finish another quart of yogurt, which is rarely more than a day or two. Haven’t had so much as a wayward drop for months, and I don’t need to turn the light on at night.
Well, yeah, but with me, you’d have to allow shaking to get those last few droplets out of the urethra lest they dribble out onto your khakis at an inopportune moment. ("Water from washing my hands spattered me in the front, that’s all that is, okay?.. “Really? Must have been backed-up plumbing, 'cause it looks like it only ‘spattered’ that one time.”).
So yeah, with me it’s shaking that may miss the bowl.
Then there’s what George Carlin called the “piss shiver”, which is that thing that we guys sometimes do involuntarily, when we have to go so bad that when we let go, the whole body just seems to spasm. So again: a kind of shaking that misses the bowl.
About the “splitters” mentioned upthread? I’ve had those happen myself, mostly after ejaculation when I failed to “skin it back” (in the 60’s, this became a southern colloquialism for getting laid: “Skin it back, boys! Skin it back!”) and that little drop of come right at the outlet will cause that to happen.
I have also had “the squitters” which make an interesting pattern in the bowl itself, but you didn’t ask about those, so we’ll save that for another time.
Thanks for letting me “vent” about this very interesting subject.

My husband seems to be an excellent aim - I never see drops around the toilet or on the seat. However, when we have family over - ALWAYS drops around the toilet and/or seat. If you’re at another person’s house, could ya just have enough manners to mop up after yourself???
And I don’t care HOW badly I need to go, or how long the line is for the women’s room - I never use the men’s room because it’s like a piss-a-atorium all over the floor and toilet in there. Ew.
even with perfect aim you might get spatter. depends on the force of the stream it may splatter hitting bowl side or water.
I’m constantly amazed and dismayed when I use a public urinal or toilet. It’s as if everyone but me just unzips, puts their hands on their head, closes their eyes, and rotates like a sprinkler.
I make an effort to minimize splashing no matter the receptacle, but it’s no use. The floor around our work urinals is just covered in urine. I expect this in an elementary school boys room, not where adults pee.
Perhaps the longer your urethra, the better control you have…
Yes. It’s why I generally sit down. I have a 34" inseam. If I stand, simple physics guarantees that splashing will occur.
I found a way to avoid spraying while standing.
Place foot in toilet bowl.
Pee down your leg.
Removing pants/shoes is optional.
brittekland I’m curious about the motivation behind this thread and your feelings on this. In your post (#9) it appears as if you are saying 'well if everyone just agrees with me and did what I say…" which is sort of a scary concept.
There must be more to this story, would you please share?
Why is it scary? Are you compel to do what I say or allude to unconditionally without presenting a good argument? We can’t poll and discuss this issue? It seems you are alluding to being offended by what I alluded to be a logical solution.
And you are putting words in my mouth. I said it “seems” to make logical sense. I can’t be the only one who thought about the little peculiarity in this culturally accepted illogical and unsanitary male behavior.
I think this pretty much sums it up.
This happens because once the first man does it, the next one doesn’t want to step in his piss, so he stands back a tiny bit, but in the course of the next few guys, someone’s going to miss again. Then the next one to use the urinal after that stands back a tiny bit further, and so on, until you get a 12-inch radius of pee stain on the floor. Yes, it’s disgusting.
I was born with a random spray nozzle. It may or may not, at any given urination event, come out at any angle in any direction. If I’m at someone else’s house I will sit down or bend my knees to bring the sprayer really close to the bowl. I wipe it up if I get any on the rim. The exception is if we are drinking lots of beer. If I am peeing often and in copius quantities it jets out in a very straight and predictable line.
This is the most disgusting thing I’ve heard in quite a while.
Are you married? Just curious.
