Peeing in the water..... Aibu

[inmyshoos]

Partner (male) thinks EVERYONE knows it's not ok to pee in the water. That it makes a horrible drum roll noise and no one wants to hear that. Having been married before I know not everyone feels this way... Not why I divorced him BTW
Wondering what's the 'norm'....
Not just weird curiosity BTW, trying to settle a difference of opinion between father and son.... In a light hearted way obviously.

Is he being unreasonable to think peeing in the water is NOT ok? Let's have your votes ladies

We all pee onto the bowl. The water makes so much noise.

I have no idea where anyone in my family aims their wee. How is this even an issue. Doesn't everyone else just sit and wee?

I literally couldn't care less, as long as it's in the bowl and not on the seat (not envy).

Where does he stand on no. 2's?

One would hope that he sits!!!

I thought you must have meant in the bath / pool / sea. But toilet? You are asking if its wrong to wee in the toilet?

The ideal place is where the water meets the bowl, minimal noise and splashback.

Going straight on the bowl sprays it everywhere, going straight in the water makes noise but also can splash a lot

Do you not have an extractor fan, ours is so noisy it covers most bathroom noises, I live in a teeny tiny house and this has never even crossed my mind to be an issue.

I'm glad to see that I wasn't the only one who thought that this was about swimming pools!

But surely poos make more noise?

Hopefully he sits, but at my old work place we had to have signs saying dont squat on the toilet seat, someone obviously did and shat all over the toilet

@sproutburger

I asked DH to sit down when he goes to wee in the middle of the night and stop waking me up with his Niagra Falls racket.

Jeez with the reaction I got you'd have thought I'd asked him to chop his willy off or something!

Can you get your partner to have a chat with mine pls

I sit down to pee at night as it is far easier when half asleep and means I never leave the seat up

It’s threads like this that make me love MN! Bonkers

Mind blown that anyone even considers this

I’ve heard men say this before, I think there is a general understanding that this the unspoken code of how to pee politely in men’s loos. But it wouldn’t bother me one way or the other in our own home 😂 Everybody pees!

How come nobody has mentioned hot tubs yet?

@toomanyplants

My OH and adult DS both sound like a pair of camels when they go. Can't say it bothers me, as long as their aim is good that's fine!

I would rather they aimed for the middle, which would be the water, rather than miss the whole toilet, or hole, altogether, which seems to happen far too often.

That’s nuts! I don’t think women can direct our wee, but I think the best place to wee is straight into the water - much more hygienic than having wee trickling down the toilet bowl.

I wish Ds could pee into the water or if this was the bigger worry- his always seems to go onto the back of the toilet bowl, ie outside the actual bowl!

Our house is newish, small 3 beds and I hate that peeing sound.
It is SO loud.
Our toilets are upstairs only.
When you are downstairs you can hear it as very loud.
Also if someone goes for poo we can hear it downstairs as the poo hits the water making that deep splashing sound- and gets really loud downstairs.
I always now put tissue first so it’s not so hear able.
It’s actually very embarrassing.

I thought you meant in the bath too!

@inmyshoos Where the F else does your DH suggest everyone pees then? Of course it's going to be in the water in the toilet.

This is an odd thread. Your title says nothing about it being in the toilet bowl. Bit like when someone posted a thread with the title 'my DH has shit on the floor.' Then when you read the OP, it turned out he has got shit on the floor, because he got it on his shoe from the outside. It was a click-bait thread. Bit like this one.

I'm told that if you put one foot on the rim of the toilet bowl and wee along your thigh it can be virtually silent.
(Apparently it is best to remove your trousers first.)

Your DH is trying to control how you urinate WTAF

It's never crossed my mind - and I mean never - to be annoyed at the sound of pissing. Or even pooing. We all do it. There's no getting around it, it needs to be done.
