      I have. Men with bad aim. Skill issue.

      One possible fix is adding a urinal target. I’m sure you could implement a similar concept in a regular toilet.

      A urinal target, sometimes known by the specific types urinal fly or urinal bee, is an image or mark placed inside a urinal to encourage users to aim in a particular place so as to avoid messes and reduce cleaning costs.

        Perfect aim still splatters small droplets all around. Try placing a newspaper next to your toilet.

          Ok this is actually a great point, and I’d like to pose another question. If you’re gonna pee standing up with the lid open, what’s the optimal angle to minimize splatter? I would love to see an experiment or simulation to find the optimal angle.

            Oh great, catching half the splatter with the underside / inner rim of the seat. So much better.

            The way to avoid splatter is to reduce velocity. By sitting down.

              Sure, because shit lining the underside doesn’t come from people sitting down, and noone ever gets the seat sitting down. It is a toilet, there’s a reason someone is supposed to clean them several times a day in a public setting.
