Researchers have invented two new urinal designs that could significantly reduce the amount of urine splashback, keeping public restrooms cleaner.
Researchers have come up with two new urinal designs to prevent the spillage of "ill-aimed pee."

I have to imagine that a fair amount of that is intentional. Some people are just pigs.
100%.
Fun fact: intentionally leaving pee on floors and toilet seats is a lesser-known but frequently-observed associated trait of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).
I guess it’s some kind of primal lizard brained “territorial” thing, I dunno.
Two things that rattle around my brain constantly:
- Leave it better than you found it.
- Be mindful of the work you leave for others.
For a while I worked for a shitty little marketing company that had, shall we say, a high frequency of narcissistic traits among the C suite. The men's room in that office was the worst I've ever seen in terms of there always being puddles of piss on the floor.
Also, a very large majority of the execs didn't wash their hands when they were finished.
I’m struggling to find sources for this but I’d love to learn more. Anything you can share?
I'm pretty sure they are either making shit up or regurgitating something that was made up by someone else. Most bad habits that people attribute to some personality disorder is just nonsense and you can fairly easily disregard it. It's like the asshole that says they're OCD because they think it means you're a little quirky.
Fuckin’ Thomas Kinkade
*some men...it's pretty difficult to miss the bowl when seated lol
Yeah, but there's plenty of women who don't want to touch the toilet seat so they hover over it and get it dirty as a result.
Ironic isn't it? It would have been fine if everyon just sat down. Just whipe the seat with a cleaning tissue first if you don't trust it.
I can’t explain the psychology behind it, but this really simple design technique apparently still works.
Apparently some men need a reason to aim, and will continue doing so even after they realize they’ve been bamboozled.
