I stand 99% of the time, the exception being where I need to sit down for a #2 anyway, then I just take care of both of them in the same sitting.

Anyone seen _About Schmidt_? There one scene when he’s talking about how his wife pisses him off by making him sit every time he has to pee. Later on, he pees standing up and then starts intentionally pissing all over the bathroom to spite his wife.

Husband sits because as a kid his dad would bitch and complain about splatters. So he gave up and started sitting so he wouldn’t have to listen to him bitch all the time.
