Everyone who can stand should count their blessings - I am an amputee and have no legs, so the only way I can get into/out of the bathroom on most planes without an accessible restroom (which includes almost all single aisle planes) is to use the floor. I bring latex gloves and an old pair of sweats that I use expressly for this purpose and plan accordingly so that I don't have to use the restroom except for very long hauls or emergencies, but still when I do have to go, it can be a nasty experience.

Let's be realistic too. Yes, I've had my share of blind aiming, but some women aren't all that innocent either. No one want's to sit on a strange toilet seat, and a few of the ladies bend over and take some wild shots themselves.
Either way, people have to clean up after themselves. And yes, I've stopped and reminded countless people heading to the lav in their socks.

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.

At the Airport
People are getting ready for the turbulence and start to sway. Or could it be to do with the number of bars at the airport?

Middle eastern and asian carriers it seems to be standard ops to keep an eye on the lavatories in all classes which on a long 7-12 hour flight is needed.
I mostly fly BA where the Cabin crew won't lift a finger to do anything not explicitly in their job description and thus leave them to rot in all classes.

Im not sure what people think urine contains but apart from the smell generated from the breakdown of amoniacal compounds there is little threatening in urine. Im sure we have all watched survival shows where people have drunk their own urine out in the desert! Toilet door knobs are another matter, no telling what has been rubbed off on those but a fair dose of e-coli is a high potential risk.
