Why do older generations pee all over the toilet seat? (lemmy.zip)

Ok so this is a bit odd but hear me out. Whenever I have older family members or neighbors over my house, I always find pee on the toilet seat, floor, and wall next to my toilet. It happens without fail, and it’s always boomers.

When I have friends over (Millenial age) this is never a problem. The bathroom is always much cleaner and the guys are always fine, even after a few drinks.

But boomer guys? Straight blasting bootstrap piss. It’s crazy.

Anyone else notice this?

I think part of it is that the plumbing doesn't work quite as well as you get older (split stream, inconsistent stream, etc.). I know some millennial men who make the conscious choice to sit when they pee rather than stand. I think most of it is that boomer men have relied on a the labor of their moms and wives and never really learned to be anything but slobs.

Yeah, they’ve rarely cleaned the bathroom and dealt with the piss rings. And even if they did, they’d do a piss poor job at it because of lack of practice.

That’s it. Someone else always did it for them. They don’t realize they’re pathetic.

Peeing on the seat is on, just fucking wipe it down with TP before you flush.

Jk I know they don’t flush either.

I had a GF ask me if she could hold it while I peed so I let her but asking your mom and/or wife to aim for you every time is just too fucking far IMO.

The plumbing is never good enough at any age to pee standing without making a mess.

If urinal, sure stand. Otherwise just sit.

No. Also sit in urinal.
