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?

Their bladder doesn't work as good because of their age. Their eyes aren't as good. Their brain isn't as good. They have more chronic pain. There is more dribbling of pee that occurs once they have finished peeing. Maybe they looked at the toilet seat and saw nothing but something leaked between checking the toilet and pulling their pants up. Some old people can't wear khakis because they would dribble pee through them.

That's sad

Yeah, getting old doesn't sound fun

You take a lot for granted when you have it. I once had to have a medical procedure done on my rectum and while I was in recovery it would leak. Nothing crazy, but I had to go clean up periodically. Really made me appreciate having full control over my downstairs region. Was not a fun time lol.
