Older male Guest, puddles of urine around the toilet: How to review?

As someone who’s father recently had the same issues, all we did was ask him to sit down when he wanted to go.
Now with a guest that may require soft language. Hope this helps

What does your husband do when he has to go #2? I think the whole idea of men sitting to pee is a great idea for the most part. If they can sit on a toilet to poop for several minutes, they can definitely sit on a toilet to pee for a few seconds :slight_smile:

Get out the UV light, show the husband the galaxy of little yellow stars that glows on the bathroom walls. Inform him that since he was the creator of the galaxy Urinus, he is responsible for removing it. Suddenly the god creator can see the reasons for being seated upon the throne for all important functions.
Problem Solved!

It’s very inconvenient for him if he has to use a small, round toilet. And very uncomfortable for him. He definitely wishes that everyone had an elongated oval toilet. He’s certainly not the only man with that issue.

For a comparison, imagine that you had to stick your hand (or your elbow or your foot) in the toilet, touching the inside of the bowl, every time you had to pee.

If it’s a small toilet, he basically feels like he has to wash himself very thoroughly at the sink afterward, because the whole thing is disgusting to him. And sinks aren’t always clean.

For those of you saying to sit down, it might not be that simple. For my father, sitting down and getting up again was excruciatingly painful for him in his early 70’s. I even installed grab bars in every bathroom but he still didn’t sit. I finally got him portable urinals like they have in hospitals and that cured the problem, but he never thought of that on his own.

I think you need to tell him in a private message that he must address his issues re going to the toilet, particularly if he plans to use other Airbnb’s Perhaps he actually needs to see a Dr with urinary problems.
I would not like a guest behaving like this and believe in being up front re such behaviour, couched with polite wording of course.
75 is not old!!

However- I love the joke about changing attitudes to getting old that goes:
“ 60 may be the new 40, but midnight is the new 9pm!!”
So true!!
