I most certainly have seen this. We had a problem with this in a bathroom in a lab building on a University campus. Only, it was not urine. It seems that the bombadier was not so sure of his target before he released the bomb-bays!
This is a curtural difference problem. It is certain recent asian immigrants primarily from Japan and Korea who are used to "squat Pots" which are sort of like those giant floor mount urinals except set flat on the floor. To use, you drop trou' , squat and let go with your load. We 'mer'kens can barely squat without blowing out a knee or falling in.

Another problem is the water everywhere syndrome. Folks from India are used to using water to clean their bum (left hand only please) and think our use of paper alone to be frankly repulsive. Imagine if you will a semi-public, i.e. workplace crapper with a shared bar of soap and a bucket with a cup or ladle provided for all to share for such cleanup. Enjoy your dinner at the Bombay Palace ;^)
