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

      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.
