Although not pleasant, we can all foresee circumstances - turbulence, 'split stream'(!), etc. in which pee hits the floor. It's the pee on the toilet seats (in the air and on the ground) that I find more baffling!

To those who admonish others for going to the lav barefoot or in socks ... OMG, just stop that. Unless they are your actual children, you don't need to be their mother. Feel free to sit there in judgment of them, however, if it makes you feel better.
This coming from one who does wear socks to the lav - but only the throwaway socks provided by the airline in business or first on long-haul flights. Pretty much everyone does, and the lavs are generally pretty clean up front anyway.

Some of it may be that airplanes induce anxiety peeing.
1) I am in the window seat, everyone else got up to go, this is my only chance. I must go now.
2) The food cart is going to prevent me from using the restroom for next 12 days. I must go now.
3) The plane is going to land and it will take six hours to deplane. I must go now.
In these situations, one may not really HAVE to go so the pressure behind the stream may not be in full force. I don't think this can be avoided.

Although a port-o-potty by size measures is more spacious, I wonder if they would ever consider adding those funnel style urinals on the side of the lav like that have in port-o-potties. The space issues is the main concern, but this would greatly reduce "splatter." I would think.
