Why don’t they use the urinals? Or at least put up the seat? Are they sociopaths? Germophobes? I just don’t get the motivation behind this disgusting and VERY common phenomea. I just returned from a restroom with four sit down stalls and three of them were thus “decorated”. Although I am an agnostic who leans to atheism, I cannot help but hope that there is a specially hot corner in hell for these folks.
It’s a genetic predisposition, just like folks who spray posts all over the wrong forums.
(You can get a feel by reading the forum descriptions here. Cheers.
(And I agree with the substance of your rant, for what it’s worth.)
It’s our way of giving it to “the Man”. :rolleyes:
It’s also a territorial marker.
Mudd- why is this not a general question? Surely not a great debate…
Territorial marker? Isn’t that for Dogs? What human being goes into a public restroom and thinks “man this is my territory baby and I am going to pee all over it!!!” Seems more like some kind of psych disorder.
You’re asking for speculation (IMHO) or ranting about the seat decorators (BBQ Pit).
Men are lazy pigs, would be my guess.
Patty- No I wasn’t asking for speculation, I was hoping someone with some psychological training would have the SD. As for flaming, your’e the one calling folks lazy pigs. Just wondering if there is a name for this condition, accepted theories about why this is, etc.
Beerbaron, I suspect that this “condition” is not considered to be medical or psychological, therefore any discussion of why it happens will consist of a lot of opinion.
Mine:
Why people don’t use the urinal to start with.
-
There was a line up and the stall was free.
-
They have a mild problem with urinating in front of other people.
-
They wanted to spray the seat with urine and piss peopl off.
Why people don’t clean the urine off the seat.
-
They are lazy pigs. Having accidenty sprayed the seat (easy enough to do) they leave the mess for someone else to clean.
-
They are neurotic about cleanliness. They spray the seat accidently and don’t clean it because they’re afraid of what they might “catch” from the seat. They didn’t lift the seat up for the same reason. These people only used the public toilet as a last resort and are absolutely busting by the time they resign themselves to it. This is also the reason why the seat (and their trousers) got sprayed in the first place.
-
They are maliciously messy. They spray the seat on purpose because they know it’ll piss people off.
Pun not intended :).
I didn’t say there was anything wrong with being lazy and dirty.
Wishing people into Hell gives the OP the qualities of a rant, that’s why I suggested the pit.
I don’t think that it’s intentional. They don’t want to use the urinal or there isn’t a urinal available so they use the stall. They don’t want to lift up the seat because they don’t want to touch the seat. They have bad aim. If they think that touching a seat is gross, imagine how they feel about a seat covered with pee albeit their own so they don’t clean it up.
Haj
Also note that sometimes, if there’s a bit of skin over the opening of the penis (the name of which escapes me at the moment), it might cause the urine stream to go in an unintended direction, making a bigger mess. This problem is pronounced for men who are uncircumcised, for obvious reasons.
You’d think after a while they would correct for this. Or maybe pull back the skin (if this is not possible, see a doctor). Or sit down.
Not to mention that sometimes the eye of the penis may be stuck together in the middle (with various bodily fluids generally) this can strike circumsized and uncircumsized men and causes the stream to split. It is normally only possible to get one of the streams into the bowl, for those without the bladder control required to stop midstream, a quick decision must be made about which stream contains the most urine.
It is just that it is such a common thing. Are people really that germophobic? Are people really that afraid to use a stand up urinal? In the example I recently experienced, the restroom wasn’t a busy one, so there were plenty of urinals available. If one is bashful of using the urinal, and their aim is so poor, why don’t they just sit down when they use the stall? One needn’t touch the seat with hands which might later be used for eating this way, and one can (and should) wash hands afterwards anyway so what’s the difference? Are you saying that posessed with a sudden urge to defecate they would crap their pants rather than sit down in a public stall? None of this makes any sense to me. I still tend to buy into the sociopath explanation…
What’s up with men who urinate all over toilet seats?
-
Poor or non-existent aim, may be blind.
-
Have had a shower head installed on the end of it to keep it ‘down.’
-
Don’t give a P where they P. :rolleyes:
We haven’t even touched on the pee hard-on yet. These are generally only found when a man wakes up and finds his member locked in military attention but tragically it is caused by having more water pressure than the Hoover Dam waiting to be let loose. Most men’s erections point at a somewhat upward angle so we have some conflicting requirements in our hands. Pee hard-on’s can also result in split streams, deviating streams, wandering streams, and partially blocked streams. One of my life’s goals before I die is to tame one of my pee hard-on’s like a cowboy conquers a bronco but I have a sinking feeling that this is an elusive goal. Still I can dream.
It is a Well Established Fact that men are not allowed to use adjacent urinals. If there is a row of three, it can at maximum accomodate to users - one at either end. If some inconsiderate prick decided to use the middle one, he is blocking the use of either alternative urinal. In the same manner, if there are four urinals on the wall, there can be a maximum of 2 users at any given time. The rules are quite similar for the use of stalls.
I personally think this should serve as a lesson to all the ladies who complain that we men never put the seat back down when we’re finished. They should just be damn glad that we put it up in the first place!
