While I was still single and living alone I acquired the habit of
"squatting" for all of my visits to the bathroom, except for public
restrooms where urinals are provided.  I do not know of a way for a man
to urinate into a toilet without creating a mess (splashes, etc.), and
I also do not know of any men willing to take the extra time to clean
up after themselves.  I solved this for myself (since I belong to the
"minimalist" school of housekeeping) by changing my habits to what I
consider a "saner" approach to the problem.  Also, at 3am I hate
opening my eyes to the glare of the bathroom light, and you don't have
to aim when you are sitting down!  Now that I am married and in the
minority in my household (my wife and her two daughters outnumber me!),
the habit I taught myself before this keeps everyone from raising a
ruckus about a really trivial problem.
