I find it utterly repulsive and would never live with someone like that. I cannot understand why men feel they need to stand anyway. My husband sits - far, far more civilised.

Most men seem to have some 'manly' idea of marking their territory, I suppose, with a disgusting expectation that someone else will clear it up. A bit like a puppy

The toilet obession continues in another thread:

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a bloke to clean his ps off the seat when he's finished, I don't lift the seat or regularly cover it in piss, there has to be something wrong if it randomly changes direction and goes all over the seat surely???

[Impasse]

Well, stop pissing on the floor then.

[Rawwr]

If you've had a few drinks too many, just use the sink with its vast easy-to-catch aperture. It makes so much sense if you think about it.

[Krupp88]

No need to make a mess - but to sit down to pee?.

Civilised is being sat having a poo whilst reading the news (Telegraph) on the(Wifes) iPad.

Unless you're some sort of exhibionist, who will know? You won't suddenly become a girl because you don't piss on the floor or sit down to urinate. Some may tell you otherwise, but how often do you invite them to witness your toilet habits?

[Captain Muppet]

It's my toilet in my house and I clean it. So I avoid making it dirty, because of logic.

Is mumsnet full of the sort of people who assume women do all the cleaning? Seems rather sexist to me, but then so does women's football, but apparently it's a triumph of equality.

The second one pretty well illustrates a moronic section of modern society - "am I being unreasonable to ask him to flush after a piss" what a stupid question - it's not unreasonably to ask your OH to do anything, but it's pretty stupid to have to ask a million faceless souls on the internet if it's okay to bring up a pretty harmless gripe she has.

"should I nip it in the bud or learn to live with it" that's just crazy, she's debating living with the guy, sharing her day to day life with him because she knows and trusts him and he knows and trusts her - but not the pee thing though, oh no - that's just a shortcut to anarchy and death.

And as for the bint who's oh so proud her Husband sits to pee... you're living with a broken man, one day he's going to realise and leave you for someone else - but does anyone really let rip without lifting the seat? That's just wrong.

I actually sympathise with this woman. I think it's vile and disgusting to pee on a seat without cleaning it up. Regardless of this, blokes should have the decency to lift up the ring before peeing and still clean it up.

Peeing on the floor is equally disgusting and admittedly it does sometimes happen but you clean it up.

There are simply no excuses for this. I'm probably OCD about this but I hate using other people's toilets. If you lift the ring up you'll quite often find vile yellow dried up piss along the inside edge of the seat.

Bottom line is, clean your mess up!

[Council Baby]

Nothing wrong with sitting down to pee, makes good time of the break to browse forums and make sure the last dribble doesn't run down your leg.

Each to thier own, however is it a indication of sophistication if one sits down to tiddle?

I'd say its reasoanbly sophisticated to lie about doing it to your tedious moaning wife.

Like I said, who will know either way? However, I'm absolutely certain that pissing on the bathroom floor isn't sophisticated in any way.

I find it utterly repulsive and would never live with someone like that. I cannot understand why men feel they need to stand anyway. My husband sits - far, far more civilised.

As it happens, I tend to sit down when urinating in the toilet at home.

Standing risks splashing the seat or the edge of the bowl, and I regard it as bad form to splash everywhere and not to wipe up. And I certainly can't be bothered wiping up every time I need a wee.

So the seat never gets left up in my house.

But that women sounds like a ghastly harpy who must be miserable to live with.

Her tone sets my teeth on edge and makes me very pleased indeed that I am no longer burdened with such a creature.

In fact, today is my Decree Nisi day. So only six weeks to go before I am a free range chicken.

You know what, I might even leave the bog seat up to celebrate.

[budgie smuggler]

Tried it once, somehow messed up the angle of the dangle and pissed out of the front of the toilet (the gap between the rim and the seat) onto my pulled down trousers. Not my greatest moment and shouldn't think I'll be doing it again

[eybic]

I never lift the seat before peeing and if I do pee on the seat, I clean it up. The toilets in some places I've worked are vile, it's as if blokes walk in with their d**ks out peeing as they walk.

That happens when you have a tiny cock I'm told, it doesn't dangle enough to get the right trajectory.

[Mercury00]

I sit down to piss as I have a shy bladder and haven't got the stamina to stand there straining, I'd just end up blacking out or something.
