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?

    You should ask them! Maybe they’ll start thinking about it.

    I’ve had a few occasions where I’ve gone after someone who left droplets after themselves. I (discreetly) brought them into the bathroom and kindly asked them to please clean up so I can use the toilet. Perfect amount of shame having to clean it up while knowing I’m waiting, in dire need for a wee.

    Never had to repeat myself either, but I don’t invite or visit people who would have to hear that more than once. (Except for children and perhaps teenagers, they can need a few reminders if they insist on standing).

    Their aiming is failing them. Fruit of the years. The older generations have that ingrained mindset that peeing is done standing, while younger people just reached the conclusion sitting down is cleaner and much more comfortable.

      I’m listening to a podcast for about 10 years now. I still enjoy it, they are my age, and generally i find their opinions very agreeable. One thing that kinda shook me is how much they agree that as a man, you DO NOT sit and pee. It came two or more times and i find it one of the weirdest hill to die on. They went as far as saying that if they would visit one another and one would theoretically walk into someone taking a pee and they would sit there, it would probably change their whole relationship. A relationship that is being friends and business partners for like 20 years. It’s not some Alpha male podcast, it’s about video games and the hosts are 40 year old left leaning nerds.

    I think part of it is that the plumbing does work quite as well as you get older (split stream, inconsistent stream, etc.). I know some millennial men who make the conscious choice to sit when they pee rather than stand. I think most of it is that boomer men have relied on a the labor of their moms and wives and never really learned to be anything but slobs.

      That’s it. Someone else always did it for them. They don’t realize they’re pathetic.

      Peeing on the seat is on, just fucking wipe it down with TP before you flush.

      Jk I know they don’t flush either.

      I had a GF ask me if she could hold it while I peed so I let her but asking your mom and/or wife to aim for you every time is just too fucking far IMO.

    I stand-peed all my life until I had to clean my own toilet. After a while I realized that sit-peeing reduced the need for cleaning by a few orders of magnitude.

    So maybe, the boomers either never clean their bathrooms or they enjoy it?

    Yeah I’ve noticed it. There’s several reasons I think, some good and some bad:

    • upbringing

    • can’t be bothered in their old age

    • losing eyesight causes them to miss seeing drops after the fact

    • wrinkly plumbing tends to make fountains instead of streams

    • can’t bend to clean up, because of bad backs/legs

    • shaky hands and bad aim if very old

    • revenge for not cleaning up after your messes when much younger? 😂

    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.

    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.

          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.

    I’ve complained about this, but I don’t know if it is Bommers only. I’ve seen a lot of Gen Alpha with shy dicks as well.
