Mysteries of the Universe, Part Two

A more current query on my mind tonight is this:

I am more than grateful to know that my fellow man washes his hands after using the restroom, especially in public restrooms. The thing I don't understand, however, is how guys manage to get water all over the counter around the sink when they do so. I can only guess that it is being done intentionally, as I cannot convince myself that collateral splashage could amount to so much. Unless, that is, the soapy water I often see is the aggregate result of not one, but multiple hand-washers.

Anyways, I'm curious also as to whether this phenomenon has been observed in women's restrooms as well.
