Lastly, in an airport where men were missing the urinals and peeing to the ground, an image of a fly on the urinal substantially decreased this utterly utterly unhygienic and terrible behavior.
In fact, this is readily explained by perceptual control theory! In a urinal without a reference target it is more difficult to aim near the center of the urinal bowl, so the probability that urine will be deflected outside the urinal increases.
They do. And besides, standing up close I can’t see how anyone could miss at all, unless they were too drunk to be allowed onto a flight. Now, pub toilets—but I shall tastefully say no more.

I am of course not a urinal expert, but don’t they have… drains? That you could aim at?
