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?

It's not just a boomer issue, it is also guys who grew up with somebody else doing the cleanup afterward.

Old can give you a non consistent stream, but a considerate old person would then wipe their spills.

But I had 30 year old friends stop by an spray everywhere. So I talked to them about sitting down to pee.

My coworkers wife told her husband "have your friends over any time for drinks, etc, but I'm not cleaning up any piss, so after your friends leave you have to completely clean the bathroom" He started to realize how gross men can be about pissing everywhere.

I think this is the answer, but peeing on the seat is another level of dysfunctional. Peeing standing up without lifting the seat is not ok even by guys-peeing-standing-up standards. And peeing on the seat while sitting down suggests another problem, and then if you have that problem, not wiping off the seat is even more inconsiderate than leaving a few splashes on the rim of the bowl itself. I have to wonder if some of these boomers have some dementia.
