I’ve been a devoted sitter for a while. If you stand, you are peeing on your floor. Maybe not a lot, maybe not even a perceptible amount on any individual trip, but definitely some, and over time, a lot. I’m of the opinion it’s weird to pee on your own floor, and have been enthusiastically lambasted for this on multiple occasions. Some men for example find it unmanly. Which, putting aside for a moment the fact that there is no inherent correlation with manliness and goodness, is bullshit. Unless they stand to pee when pooping, they already pee sitting down on a regular basis. All I’m doing is increasing the frequency of seated micturation.

I mean, I’m usually a sitter but sometimes there’s a knot in my back that, well when it relaxes it uncorks the damn dam

You’re weird because apparently you don’t clean your bathroom floors.

Sure, microscopic amounts of pee gets on the floor. Then, every couple of weeks you clean your bathroom.

You know that when you flush a toilet you aerosolize a bit of the contents and they drift out and land around the room too. Does that bother you?

  by your own logic, why bother using the toilet, or even having one? Just pee on the floor like a real man. I mean you clean it anyways.

  That’s why you close the lid to flush…

    Every toilet I’ve seen has a big air gap under the seat.

    I’m sorry to tell you this but closing the lid doesn’t stop viral aerosol contamination and it’s been researched www.ajicjournal.org/article/…/fulltext

  I guess I would just say that I feel the acceptable amount for one to pee on their own floor willfully is none. Flushing may present a new issue after the fact, but I can’t see a way around flushing. I can however see a way around electing to pee in a sloppy manner because I’m lazy. Though arguably sitting is famously more comfortable than standing, so perhaps impatient would be more accurate than lazy.

    Nobody’s talking about willfully peeing on the floor, we’re only talking about microscopic amounts of pee mist that could drift away from the stream when you’re peeing from 50 cm from the bowl instead of 10 cm from the bowl.

  I just don’t want to piss on other peoples floor. Its one thing to piss on my floor and for me to clean it up, its another thing to piss on someone elses floor and expect them to clean it up.

    So, don’t piss on other people’s floors. Aim better. You can still do that while standing up.
