    My guesses:

    • Intoxication: They’re drunk or high enough that they’re not neurologically capable of aiming; the fact that they managed to get it out of their pants at all is astonishing.
    • Narcissism: They’re very important assistant sales managers, talking on their phone through the whole transaction, and aren’t paying attention to what they’re peeing on; just as they don’t remove their dirty dishes from the office meeting rooms after a lunch meeting. Aren’t the help supposed to do that?
    • Helplessness and/or disgust: The toilet was already filthy when they came in, and they didn’t think they were making it any worse.
    • Peevishness: They got yelled at by a scary janitor once for sticking gum under desks.

      I’ll admit, I typed it while dropping a deuce in the absolutely filthy restrooms at The Florida Mall.

        That sounds like playing Russian roulette with a pistol, lol. Only bad experiences allowed. A mall bathroom is already dicy, but in florida? Glutton for punishment, haha.

    Related question, why the fuck do some people feel it necessary to grunt, moan, pant, and otherwise loudly vocalize while shitting? Zero people want to hear you, shut the fuck up, you are gross.

        I still don’t buy it. I’ve had shits where I feel like I’m about to pop a blood vessel and still don’t feel a need to vocalize it. My brother has severe IBS and shitting is basically torture for him the way he tells it, still never hear any yelling coming from the bathroom.

      My guess is humans all have different digestive experiences. I never understood magazines and reading on the shitter. I’m in and out under a few minutes, while I take it some don’t have as flowing of a digestive track?

          We all have our cross to bear. For some, it’s massive, painful and prolonged shits apparently? I even read about some shitting only a few times a week? I’d be concerned

      I have constipation problems and I can’t stop myself from making those noises, they just kinda come out. Very rude you’re just assuming everyone who grunts and makes noises while shitting is doing it on purpose just to annoy you

      Bro, keep eating good fibre and you’ll never know. People do this because they’re blind to the consequences of their shitty diet. Every sodie and highly processed white flour hamburger bun provides them with copious energy and almost zero fiber.

    I did a practicum in a federal prison for a year and somehow my supervisor and I got onto the topic of bathroom use (probably just talking about the reality of incarcerated live). I’ll never forget it because it was such a candid moment for him when he said: real thugs sit. Nothing else added, just let it be said like that. People that don’t clean up after themselves definitely grinds my gears.

        You ain’t licking your butt. Think about all the other things you sit on and then go sit in your house or touch your pants afterwards. Even wiping your hands on your pants after washing them

          I mean it was mostly a joke. But I would actually never wipe my hands on my pants. I’m mindful of where I sit and always conscious about where my hands have been.

    I’ve thought about this a lot over the years, I think it’s just as simple as “all care, no responsibility” meaning if the average punter goes into a public toilet and somebody hasn’t cleaned up after themselves (mistakes happen) then that dude sure as shit isn’t going to clean up but he still needs to go therefore he’ll do his best to be clean but if he has to do some sort of gymnastics to keep himself clean then so be it and if the toilet gets messier as a result of those gymnastics then so be it, the cycle continues.

    I used to hate urinals and I still don’t like them, but I understand the reason behind it, people are animals when it’s not their property.

    As men get older, it becomes more challenging to initiate urination. As a result, the distance the urine stream travels at the beginning becomes unpredictable.

    On the other hand, towards the end of urination, the stream becomes weaker and may cause post-dribbling. This also increases the chances of hitting the toilet seat.

    Failing to clean the toilet seat afterward is simply pure rudeness though.

    Are we entirely sure no women are squatting and also creating this problem? Because I have witnessed exactly that phoenomenon occur in a bathroom before while attending the restroom with previous partners.

      Yeah, women’s restroom have piss on the seats, too. They squat to pee, and there is no aim.

      Turns out, both women and men can be gross and not clean up after themselves

    true story. my son has a bit of a phobia for public toilets and one day I was out with him and his sister in the city, riding ferry etc. I could see around lunchtime he needed to go, but he refused as he usually does. after lunch it was obvious he really needed to go and wouldn’t make it back home in time (1.5 hour train ride plus time to get back to the station). there was a nicish public toilet at Manly Beach and I walked him in, he had agreed to try as he was clearly desperate.

    but he decided no he couldn’t go.

    so we catch the ferry back to Sydney. again I asked to take him into the toilet as it was quite nice, but he refused. as we got to the train station, there was no excuse. he was bursting. had to go and had no choice. took him into the toilet. it was without a doubt, handsdown, the worst I had EVER been into. there was shit in the floors, smeared on walls, on the frikken toilet seats. piss everywhere. he had no choice. thankfully there was toilet paper.

    I cleaned the seat as best as I could with toilet paper. he went.

    we disinfected the shit out of both ourselves when we finally got home.

    As for OPs question, some people are just plain animals

      Worst I ever saw was a porta-potty on China Beach in San Francisco.

      My wife was the one that couldn’t wait any longer. I went in there and spent 10 of the most vile minutes of my life arranging to make it usable. I won’t try to describe it other than to say it was overflowing with solids and looked as though it had been on its side at some point.

      To this day my wife uses that as the benchmark of what a good husband does for their wife. If she has a girl friend that thinks their boyfriend or husband loves them she’ll say “Yes, but would he do this…” and tells that story

    Also wash your hands afterwards! The pandemic should have highlighted the importance of basic hygiene.

      The pandemic taught me that 90% of public restrooms will leave my hands dirtier than when I started, and risk further infection than if I just go in, piss, don’t touch anything and then front kick that door open.

          Who the FUCK is out there shitting in public restrooms? Obviously you don’t leave the house in the morning before you shit and then shower, in that order. Only an insane person takes a dump in a public restroom.

            I’m a contractor and work in other people’s homes and sometimes you just get that bubble in the gut when you least expect it and gotta run to the nearest Wendys so you don’t gas out your entire clients house, okay?

        I did this during the pandemic in a crowded public bathroom, and people fucking stared at me like I was insane. Granted I used a stall like a urinal, and might have kicked some stuff, but a lot of them weren’t wearing masks so…

          Yeah man, it wasn’t a great time. I only publicly lost it once. I had a young baby at home so I was taking all the precautions imaginable at the time - early days so it was still a big scary bogeyman especially for babies and the elderly.

          I’m masked up grabbing a few things at a local grocery store and this vile woman walking towards me takes off her fucking mask to do a huge sneeze. Sprayed the entire isle with visible particulate. I fucking lost it. I had a can of something in my hands and I threw it violently into the ground sending goop everywhere and started screaming about her being a disgusting bitch and asked her what the point of the mask was. Not my proudest moment. I did my best to stay home after this unless absolutely unavoidable. People are gross.

            Wait, no, I mean I used my feet to do everything, which involved a lot of kicking things in a crowded space, which added that I was a teenager & a black male was probably not a good look. I was pretty agitated though, but not angry. :p
