I specify men’s restroom since there are alternatives to peeing which don’t involve a toilet seat.

        Just lift the fuckin seat to pee then omg

        Use your foot for that if you have to

        1. wipe seat. It’s fine.
        2. If you’re at a seat, be seated; standing is over there.
        3. wash hands like silkwood after

        Is this only trivial for gen-X?

            Right? This is absolutely a non issue.

            I guess unless you’re incapable of balancing on one foot for 3 seconds.

              As a reminder to passersby, there are actually people that can’t balance on one foot at all. Or even lift it that far.

                Exactly, but the vast majority of people could balance on one foot for 3 seconds. There are even walls and a door to balance against.

                Or, people could just use the hands they’re going to be washing in a few seconds.

                  Ngl, I’m not sure I want to lean against walls either. Public toilets rarely have lids, and even less often are they used when they do have them. So you’ve got the usual aerosolized poo water landing everywhere.

                  But I agree that good hand washing fixes half of the problem. The half being trying to aim a penis one handed, then zip up one handed too. I can aim one handed, not so much the zipping lol.

                  Truth be told though, the types of pathogens involved are fairly low, and they don’t all survive well on hard surfaces. But they aren’t non existent, and the ones that will transfer that way tend to be the worse ones. Enough so that I don’t blame anyone for being upset at a pissy seat, much less a crappy crapper.

      I actually never understood how some guys have apparently a hard time simply aiming. I never had a problem with that in my life myself.

        Dual stream can be an issue. But when it is, I clean up my fucking piss. People are gonna miss or splatter; a decent human being should clean up after themselves. Most people are not decent human beings.
