One woman is just about ready to stop sharing a bathroom with her boyfriend — and yes, it’s exactly for the reason you think it is: peeing on the floor.
The couple bought a house together last year.
Ever since they moved in together, the woman's noticed a big problem in their bathroom.
“Nearly every time I go into the en-suite bathroom I notice water on the floor, the toilet seat, wall etc.” she wrote in a post on Reddit's Am I the A–hole forum.
Well, at least she thought that it was water — at first.
But “when I wipe it up, it's sorta pale yellow so my immediate thought is; it's urine,” she explained.
She brought the issue up to her boyfriend, “at first he accuses me of doing it but eventually admits to having bad aim,” she wrote. “Honestly, I don't care if he can't aim properly, at least CLEAN IT UP?!”
She was ready to blow.
She had it and told her boyfriend that he was banned from using their bathroom.
“He can use the ugly bathroom downstairs,” she wrote.
“I'm not going to put up with it because it's disgusting,” she added. “Now he's calling me immature, controlling and apparently I'm treating him like a child. We literally argued about this for hours.”
She asked people in the forum if she was out of line.
For most people, peeing on the floor was a ban-able offense.
“[Not the A–hole]. If he doesn't want to be treated like a child, he needs to stop peeing on the floor. If he has bad aim, he needs to either sit down or clean up after himself," one person wrote. "I'm a guy, and this is just common sense and courtesy."
"[Not the A–hole] … and his mother failed him," another commenter agreed. "My 4-year-old can not only hit the toilet every time but I just had him pee out of the car two days ago and not a drop hit the inside of my car … so yeah your BF is a d–che and needs to learn how to flipping pee."
A third person knows someone who does the same thing — his 10-year-old son. "The difference? He's actually (kinda sorta) starting to (on occasion when I nag) clean it up. Trust me: he will be sitting, aiming better, or cleaning it up before he becomes [a] freaking adult! OP, your BF is a child."
Some people thought she went too far.
“[You're the A–hole] for going out with someone who can't even p–s in the toilet. Get a grip," wrote one person.
“He should clean it up, but you bought the house together. You don’t have a right to 'ban him from rooms,'" someone else wrote. "What if he said you were banned from the bedroom for farting in bed? Or the kitchen for cooking garbage food? Work with him like an adult to fix the problem and stop it with the banning s–t."
"You both own the house so you don’t have say where he can pee," added another commenter. "But he’s a child for not aiming or cleaning up his mess."
The woman had to admit that some of what the commenters wrote was valid.
“Yeah, we both bought the house," she wrote. "I can understand your point.”
If all else fails, maybe it's time to invest in some toilet targets to improve her boyfriend's aim.
