Sounds like you might want to read about splashback:

it would not be unlikely for urine droplets to travel a distance of 5 feet to the side of the urinator,” Dr. Truscott tells us in an email. “And if someone were standing next to him, they would most definitely get small droplets OF THE OTHER MAN’S URINE on their pants and shoes

Your hands are almost certainly getting covered in your own pee unless you're a sitter. If you're a sitter, then you're probably still touching something in the bathroom that someone else peed or splashed on. Either way, wash your hands!

"covered in your own pee" is quite the exaggeration. Much like the person above saying a drop or 2 of piss from not wiping after yourself means you have "piss soaked" underwear.

I'm so weary of overly exaggerated claims. People ruined the word literally by using it in the exact opposite of it's actual meaning. It is now a meaningless word. Good job lazy fucks
