There is a simple solution that takes care of the problem entirely and has the added benefit of increasing general cleanliness around the operation's area and avoid any possible argument: just perform #1 seated.

TheOatmeal has done a detailed pros and cons analysis on that habit, coming to the conclusion it should not be done. My apologies for not linking, but I can't access it from work.
I sit to pee, just easier and it means I can take a leak at night without blinding myself with the lights.

#35I always leave the seat AND the lid down, to cause equal annoyance for everyone
I don't get why everyone doesn't do this, it's the best and most logical choice. Not to mention what's even the point of having a lid if it's never used.

#38Heh. My simpler solution is to just always sit (I'm a guy). It's more comfortable, requires less concentration and removes any possibility of missing. The only time I stand is for proper urinals.
Actually, sitting does not remove the possibility of missing. I once had an unfortunate encounter with a toilet where someone had installed an elongated seat on a non-elongated bowl. This made it possible to easily and inadvertantly sit in a way that resulted in missing.
You know, I think I once wee'd in my face doing that.
I hit some crazy angle and it just sprayed out.
I can't remember the exact parameters but something very odd happened.
Always sit at your own risk.Re: A game theoretic approach to the toilet seat problem
