Men pissing on toilet seat, why?

[BrickHare]

Just why? Why can’t they wipe it up? We have a communal toilet at work which everyone uses, however piss is always on the seat after a male has been. I know this because there’s only one toilet in the staffroom and everyone can see who uses it. This never happens after a woman has used the loo. It’s disgusting that other people are having to clean it up. Suggestions at what to do?

Some folk are just disgusting. There's a guy at my work who doesn't wash his hands after using the toilet. And worst still he has no social shame about it. Last month he was doing a number 2, and when he finished he just walked right past me straight out the door! We had a working lunch last week and I ended up starving myself becuase I was unsure which of the buffet items he'd touched.

Projecting much?

How do you explain women's toilets being left in such a state? Can't blame men there.

Many toilets have male cleaners btw, it's enough to start an uproar from people like you.

Whenever this crops up on (maybe more international) forums, there are often professional toilet cleaners/attendants who claim that women’s toilets are often worse. A bit pissy in the Men’s but sometimes an absolute war zone in the Women’s, and not just confined to piss on seats from the hoverers.

Oh, and the ‘why don’t they dab with toilet paper’ thing? That’s not how cocks work in this regard. Men shake them for an anatomical reason. Apparently there is a method involving pressing along the … er .. taint into yer bollocks, but it sounds like a faff.

But who are these blokes who piss through the toilet seat rather than lifting it?

I do wonder if it’s a mixed sex toilet how o/p knows it’s men.

ime if the piss is on the actual toilet seat it’s female hoverers responsible. Men lift the seat so the piss is often on the rim of the bowl/the floor.

I find hoverers ridiculous - too good to sit on the seat yourself but also too good to clean up after themselves. Pathetic.

Because within the staff room there is a single toilet cubicle, so you can see who uses the toilet, I said this in the thread 👀

If there’s piss already on the seat I’m not cleaning it up. Why should I?

Why do some of those who prefer to hover not lift the bloody seat… 😤

This is interesting, I never knew this was the case for some men. Thing is, it happens to me too & I'm a woman!

If I use a public loo, I hover (I won't sit down) if I need a wee but try to wee slowly because otherwise if I just let go it can go down my leg, you can't just control & aim into the bowl, it's definitely an age thing but even so you clean up after yourself.

The only reason I can come up with is bc they can. And that’s not a good reason

Marking their territory
its beneath them to wipe up their own piss.

When I worked in an office we had

1. A phantom shitter who didnt flush
2. Piss on the seat more or less permanently.
3. Someone put onions in the tank
4. A woman who would randomly take the mirror off the wall and to her car to squeeze her blackheads
5. A person who was so incensed that the grab rail was down that he partially wrenched it off the wall. All in the disabled loo. Only 2 disabled employees including me. Other bloke was in a wheelchair. People are nasty.

Our ladies toilets are pretty grim too to be fair

I really disagree with that. The minute particles that may be in the air are not remotely like sitting or standing in a puddle of piss. On any thread about hygiene I'm always astounded by the level of revulsion people have for perfectly normal natural human matter....dead skin cells on a towel that's been used once so must up in the wash, tea towels washed every 5 minutes etc. It's not like you stand over the loo breathing deeply is it? Leaving actual visible puddles and skid marks is inconsiderate and unpleasant but seat up / down is no more or less considerate either way.

Mumsnet loves some ridiculous hyperbole. I wonder how some posters function in real life the way they bang on about their bullshit on here.

I've lived with 14 different men in various houses (family, houseshares, DP) in my life and not one of them left piss on or around the toilet habitually. (One of my student housemates had a pretty grim drunken accident once, and was appropriately mortified.) Maybe I'm just lucky but I've never seen this as something "men" do.

None of the women I've lived with have done this either but some women's public loos have been shocking.

Exactly. It’s usually women that lead on the potty training. Just train boys to sit. I did and my sons are clean. My youngest won’t go near a urinal - thinks it’s weird to get your knob out in public view.

Yes! Why on earth would anyone teach/actively encourage boys to pee standing? It's a recipe for piss everywhere.

You say this like it’s some revolutionary idea you’ve had. All 2 year olds are potty trained and pee sitting down. Then they grow into men and of course they pee standing up. Your youngest will pee standing up as an adult too, it would be a very rare man who never does this. It’s perfectly normal for men to pee standing up and not make a mess. Only piggish men and women leave any mess in toilets.

I really think some mumsnetters live on a different fucking planet 🙄

There used to be jokes about B&B landladies' notices about leaving the WC as you would wish to find it. I only ever saw one once, in a Paris students foyer. It was fairly easy to decipher. Laisser le WC comme vous vouler ... etc I was 15, now 79, so can't remember the whole of it. It was long.
I have a male guest at the moment. On occasion he has been deeply embarrassed about spillage on the floor. What he hasn't noticed is the build up of a hard deposit on the porcelain from a reaction between urea and limescale. Needs pumice to shift it. Bring back Ajax.

Who stands up and goes for a pee at work anymore? Most men have an nice sit down Infront of 10 mins of YouTube on the company's expense. I guarantee that if your boss is a man, it's him that's doing it.

That's a good point. A guy in my office openly admitted the same thing, why should he be in and out in a minute when the women got a five minute bathroom break.

Argh my ex used to do this and give me the absolute rage! After 45 years practice I could piss in an egg cup backwards from 20ft away-while blindfolded with my shoe laces tied together ffs! How in God's good name can you miss the toilet?!?

DP moved in recently and oh my days am I fed up of having to keep cleaning the toilet! I already cleaned it pretty much daily, but this is, quite literally, taking the P! He’s aware he does it as well, because when I asked how he’s going through an entire toilet roll every other day (considering it was lasting me almost 2 weeks prior to him moving in), he said he’s using it to wipe up splashes when he goes to the toilet - apparently that is only happening for very big splashes though, because I’m still finding drops that are very clearly pee on the toilet and/or the floor (and yes he’s still doing the wiping up since my query about the toilet roll … since when he does so, I usually find toilet roll ‘bits’ on the edge of the loo or on the floor!)

But what I REALLY don’t understand is why they (the ones that drip - I know it’s not all of them because this is not the first time I’ve lived with a man, but it is the first time I’ve experienced this issue!) I don’t understand why they don’t do anything to prevent the dripping/splashing?!? Why don’t they dry with paper when they are done?! Shaking it may well dry it off but it just flicks the wet around, like it would if you shake your hands after washing them instead of using a hand towel to dry them! Surely it’s better to dry off any potential drips than it is to have to wipe them up?!

and also.. if they are just shaking off the drips, surely there may be more drips. Aren’t they then just putting pee onto their underwear? I can’t help but think if I merely shook myself off and didn’t dry after the loo, my underwear would very quickly need changing! Urgh!

In my DP’s case, it may well just be he doesn’t realise on the occasions that it’s smaller drips, perhaps can’t see them (or doesn’t care that much, thinks he’ll just do it later, collectively, who knows?) and the toilet is always magically cleaned by the same fairies that also do the dusting and the washing up etc etc ….. but in public toilets, especially when people can see who was in there last, why don’t they check after themselves? I always look back to make sure toilet has flushed properly and is left in a suitable condition for the next person - I’d be horrified/mortified if I thought I’d dripped on the seat or something like that!

Men are very definitely a different breed!

He'd not have lasted passed day 1!
