A question - dried-up urine under the toilet seat, as left by my husband

Sorry about the unpleasant subject matter here!

There's a toilet in our house that my husband often uses, and I sometimes use.

When I go in, underneath the toilet seat there are lots of yellow marks all round it. This seems to be dried-up urine 🤢, I guess from when he has missed the target (the toilet bowl).

Please tell me, do all men do this? If so, why? if you have a male partner in your house, do you expect them to clean this up?

If I miss it's my job to clean up . would not expect Dw to clean up after me.

I have never met a man who cleans the toilet. Partly my problem for enabling their delusion that loos are self cleaning.
This is why I stick to cats now.
Take him to the scene of the crime and shame him into being responsible.
It’s no wonder women end up not wanting to shag men who are basically elderly children.

Just get him to sit down to pee. Does he get the floor sticky aa well?

Hate to tell you, but both males and females of all ages do this. I think it’s either sitting to far forward on the seat, or that last drip which then runs under the seat from standing up that little bit too quickly and not having dabbed with toilet paper properly first.
But yes, it would be nice if everyone left toilets clean for the next person to use.

I always assumed any mess under the seat was caused by a bit of wee hitting the bowl and spraying back. So I'm likely one of the culprits. I think if it was a man missing that badly the mess would be everywhere. It's not something I worry about TBH as I'm not the one who has to lift the seat and look at the underside of it when I go!

But 'who left what mess' isn't a road we go down in this house, unless it's really gross or deliberate. So it just gets cleaned when the toilet is cleaned, which is a shared household job as all yucky jobs should be.

Nope not every man is like that. Although my male flat mate leaves the seat up, there are no visible piss stains to be seen!

Should I send him round to show your husband how it should be done @Clotheswoe ???

I check to make sure that I have no left any wee on the toilet seat, and I would tell my partner to clean it up if he left any wee there.

My 4 year old son now tells my DH off for leaving the toilet messy. This is slowly embarrassing my DH into changing and I am hoping my son will grow up with better habits.
