Do you teach your sons.....

To lift the seat or to pee on it. I know that this is trivial amongst the greater issues of life, but I am out away from home 2-3 days per week, and nobody like to sit in pee. I have noticed it only in the last ten years or so in public restrooms that young men and boys will walk past a row of urinals and go into a stall, but you can see that they don't sit down. When I go in a stall sometimes there is adequate light to tell if the seat is dry, but just as often not. When I was a kid there were no where near as many times that we would use a public high volume restroom but we were still taught that you use a urinal unless you needed to sit, and you would always lift the seat in a one holer. Are kids being taught today to go hide in the stall so no one can see their teeny weenie? Are they being taught to not touch the seat because it may have germs on it and that they are better than the next guy anyway? Or do guys think that their aim is good enough so that they think that there is no spray getting on the seat? Here and there you see the tissue seat covers but they are for general sanitation and it takes about a dozen to absorb pee on a seat. Fathers need to raise there sons.
 
LOL. This hits home here.
We have 3 boys, SO wife has to put up with 4 males.

The boys can be real pigs.
I taught them to lieft the seat. Use a piece of T paper to lift it. set it down on back of toilet while you go. Use to close toilet set and LID. Even use to touch the handle to flush.
Throw it in the can in bathroom.

NOW, do they do all that. Not usually at home, wife screams to often. But whenever I take them to a relatives house I try and use BR after them and they do leave it clean.

Part of the problem is today in public restrooms the fear of "odd" people and germaphobia.
 
"odd" is out there and lurks. besides, its not just what you mentioned, one is at their most vulnerable while while in this position.
 
I taught my son that you respect the females. Always lift the seat to take a leak, but also always put it back down when finished. There is nothing "macho" about being a slob instead of a gentleman.
 
Let me tell you as a kid getting kicked hard in the back while taking
a pizz makes you leery of urinals the rest of your life.
 
(quoted from post at 09:05:33 12/05/12) i think it is time in today's society for all
facilities be enclosed in a private stall.

Be careful, you may get the Dave2 treatment. But then again, peeing when out in the field on a tractor is probably a good topic. Where to go??? Under the tractor, behind the tractor, or on the rear tire. Taught my sons to go under the tractor
 
Reminds me of when I was a kid. One cold winter day, one of the neighbors was putting down the road on a B John Deere. He had to take a leak, and with heavy clothes on, he simply stood up and peed in front of one of the rear wheels.

As he was zipping up and sitting back down, he glance back and found there was a lady in a car following him and waiting for a chance to pass.
 
Popper I have the same philosophy. How do ya like the toilets in the men's room in the mall in Sioux City on weekends? Lots of little boys need to be trained. Jim
 
Mrs B&D is still furious that I installed a urinal in one of the
washrooms during renovation. Jealous I suspect ?
Only drawback is that the boys are more interested in
distance than accuracy.
 
Nothing is more disgusting than finding a bathroom and needing to sit and some slob was too lazy to lift the seat. It's not just little boys either.

Some of the comments reminded me of riding in the back of the old deuce and a halfs on convoy, when some of the guys would have to "go".......

Was she running her windshield wipers? :D
 
I can't speak to public toilets, but at home "everyone" was taught to close it up when done. If the girls need to go they lifted the lid. Boys lifted both unless they needed to sit. Both where required to close it up when done.
 
went in the army during the height of the viet nam
war. was housed in ww2 barracks for about 50 men
with 1 large open show area, 1 long urinal and about
12 or commodes along 2 walls. the commodes were not
seperated at all, there you sat shin to shin and
thigh to thigh. took me well over a week before i
went down late one night to take a bm. maybe that
is why i prefer to live in the country where i can
use the "discretion of the woods" is needed.
 
Always liked the one that said, "Men with short bats stand close to the plate, the next guy might be barefooted."
 
Don't have any sons but I grew up with two sisters and now have a wife and daughter. I always lift the seat before I go and put it down when done. To be honest I do it as much for myself as for the ladies. I mean really, I don't want to have to clean up my own mess the next time I do need to sit anymore than anyone else does.

As far as the deal in public restrooms I always do the same thing and lift the lid if needed, but I don't put it back down when done.
 
We had two boys and one girl. They were all simply required to leave things clean, the way they were found. If they wanted to live like an animal, then go to the barn!
The only issue I recall is the older boy couldn't remember the difficult task of pulling the lever after filling the toilet. After having to pull up a stool and sit there and study what he had left behind, he learned to pull the lever!

like your choice of word, show. "1 large open show area"
Did you ever take a shower over there?
 
I remember one of the many times my mother was pitching a
fit about the seat not being put down I got smart with her her
argument was how hard is it to put the seat down? I said idk
your the one that has a problem with it. After a big fight I
started putting both down she got real mad I said what"s big
deal she said if I gotta go in hurry I might not have time to lift
lid bein the smart azz I am I said we"ll then do what you tell us
you miss the mark clean the mess needless to say there was
no more arguments over the seat issue. I prefer both bein
closed in case you drop something you don"t need to go
fishing. She just wanted everything easy for her.
 
yes, glass windows all around, kinda a showy place,
can really put on a show there, showed up there, saw
a show there, should have showed up, when i show up.
actually, should have read "shower". thanks
 
after forty some years of being "taught",i built my wife her own bathroom.LOL since i spend about as much time in the bathroom as in bed these days,rule is lid up at night down at daylight!
 
I'll confess I wasn't the best at putting the seat back down when I was
done, that raised the ire of SHMBO and my two daughters. When #2 daughter
was potty training one night she forgot to look and sat on a toilet with
the seat up, went swimming in the toilet bowl and I got yelled at. I
started not only putting the seat down but the cover two. About 2 weeks
after this change #2 daughter made a midnight run to the bathroom didn't
check and proceeded to make a big mess as she peed all over the toilet
cover. SHMBO woke up and surveyed the situation, boy was she mad, I could
tell she was thinking about letting in to me about it but thought better
and focused her anger to the daughter who that very night, at that very
moment, learned you need to check where you're about to place your
backside, no problems since. I have since lobbied the girls of this house
to believe that men are smarter and more capable then girls as in that if
they approach a toilet they instinctively access the situation and raise
or lower the appropriate seats and covers without even thinking about it
to configure the device for their immediate needs, and that ability is
important to any women that share bathrooms with us men because if we
didn't have that ability they'd set on an awful lot of wet seats. That
didn't work so well so now in the name of domestic tranquility we don't
talk about this anymore.
 
Little bit off subject, but I remember Dad telling about a deep southern boy in boot camp on the first day. He stated he had 'to go', and was pointed in the general direction of the latrine. Some time later the drill sargeant was dressing down the entire company and wanted to know who had taken a dump in the urinal.....
 
We were taught to lift both lid and seat to pee, than close
both, to keep the cats out. I still do the same, this cat we
have now would be in there in a second if lid was open. Gotta
watch the baby now too!
 
Being raised in the country, no houses in sight, I taught #1 son to go the the edge of "the clearing", find a bush or tree, turn your back to "the clearing", and go.

So first day at the new daycare center, he did just that. 8 screaming kids immediately run to the house, and tell the lady, "GUESS WHAT THE NEW KID JUST DID!!!" She was mortified, he was mystified, and we had a little "time and place" talk about that sort of thing.

As far as me, I generally sit, because its the only place I have time to read my magazines. If I do stand, its put the seat up first, then put it back down when finished. I do recall one halfway humorous argument with wifey when she had to put the seat down. I, in turn, complained that she should have put it back up when she was done, for my future convenience. "Leave things as you found them", I always say. However, it apparently wasn't something that SHE always said.
 
At home,I am similar to wishbaker and johndeereman,next to impossiable to please everyone,so raise the seat,do your thing and the girls need to do the same as far arranging the seat to suit thier need.
The public restrooms are disgusting. Every time I see pee on the seat,floor and wall,evil thoughts go through my head. I sincerly believe a very tough feller who witnessed the deed should give the offender two choices. A. Get on your knees and lick up the mess you made here or B. Have me take you head in hand and mop it up with your face. B Actualy offers two options also. You can remain conscious if you prefer or you may be rendered unconsious if you please.
 
My wife is a fisherman and there has been more than
one time I have told her to not glance over at a
particular boat in the area. Some guys like to even
stand up on the covered bow section for all to see.
 
I have been known to use a coffee can in the boat, and hope that from a distance, that it looks like a bait can, with a worm in it!
 
Ever been in a lumber/home center that sells toilets and seen the seats/lids taped shut? There's a reason for that. One of our local lumber yard employees noticed a little bitty guy standing on tiptoes and peeing in one of the display toilets. When you gotta go, you gotta go.
 
I have two girls, but my Grandson who will be 3 this month was a blast to see getting potty trained. Taught him to pee on a tree in the yard. He thought it was funny so he learned pretty quick. When he is at our house, my daughter gets the stool for him to stand on to pee, but she leaves the seat up when he is done.
