Quick Poll: Work Bathrooms

Ok, this forum is mostly populated by males or those who act like males. I work in a large office area with common use bathrooms. The men's room crappers all have individual stalls and are actually quite nice after the remodel. Nice bathrooms...40 year old cubicles... But the men who use our bathrooms are pigs!

How difficult is it to not crap all over the toilet seat? Seriously!?!? How are you not able to line up the output with the big hole in the center of the seat? How is this possible? Or do not wipe yourself well and it's all over you skin? What is your underwear like? Instead of skids, do you have road kill in your shorts?

Yesterday, someone managed to drop a big puddle of whizz right in front of the toilet bowl. How tough is it to point the tube down into the bowl? How did you manage to avoid soaking your pants while you pissed all over the floor?

I have used machine shop toilets that were kept up way better than these.

POLL: Does anyone else work in an environment where it's amazing how people are incapable performing the simple task of going to the bathroom without getting it all over everything?

Not so much now, but then we were on floor one above current one (32st) the man's bathroom which were shared by 3 companies on same floor were pretty dirty towards end of the day.
Not quite as bad as OP's ones. the biggest issue was people were often too lazy to drop used paper towel into trash and often it just ended up on the floor...

No bad you say? Yes, not bad at all for maybe midwesten gas station bathroom, but a complete disgrace for a building right smack in most expensive part of NYC

I think we'd all be surprised at how many other cultures don't sit on the seat. Rather they put their feet on the seat and squat. I'm not going to get into the cultures that don't use paper.:eek:

Ours usually aren't too bad, but I think the cleaning crew hits them every 12 hours.

We also have those paper liners that probably help. I have coined the term "A$$-Gasket" for that piece of paper :D Feel free to use that term, but at least give me credit for it ;)

One time my boss had a theory for the puddles at the urinal. A little gets on the floor, so the next person stands a little farther back, so on and so forth, so it's a self-perpetuating problem until there is a big puddle. I told him he must have too much time on his hands and needs more work to do:eek:

One other gripe: why the heck does our crew clean the bathrooms right by the Cafe at noon each day?:mad:

Yup. My grandfather didn't have indoor plumbing until about 1970. I didn't care for it much. In the summer, it stank to high heaven. In the winter, you had to do your business quick, before your tackle froze off.:eek:

Really quite ironic that you mentioned this as this week we had this posted in ours. It started with this



and someone added this

Yeah, the toilets and urinals at work are gross. Piss or poop all over the place. Half the times the toilets aren't flushed. I don't get it.

Unless you coined that over 15 years ago, someone that I know beat you to it. :) Odds are they heard it from someone else, too.

Our have the auto-flush sensors yet still don't get flushed. I just don't get it. I'm certainly no clean freak as I live by the 5 second rule for food dropped on the floor. But you have the draw the line somewhere. Ugh...

Yeah, we have auto flush as well...they always work after I take a dump so I dunno why they aren't working for others.

Part of the "all over the lid" issue is a cultural thing. We also have signs for "do not stand on toilets" because many other cultures are used to a hole in the floor so they don't grasp how to use one of these.

Pretty bad when you need signs. Most of our employees have been in the US all of their lives ore at least for enough years that it should not be an issue. I haven't seen any footprints on the seat though...

I'm amazed at the lack of shitting ability by the general populace. I'm also equally baffled at this piss capabilities. Luckily, I"m on the executive floor at my office and we all have pretty big offices, especially the CEO and Presidents, along with big conference rooms, so there's not too many people on the floor. There's only cubes for our admins and what-not. On the other floors in the cube farms, there 5 or 10 times the number.

The thing we experience in our exec bathroom is a constant puddle of piss in front of the urinal. We have $5mm producers visiting our office and it really makes a poor impression. I've literally went on a mission to procure these: Toilets & Urinals | Urinals | Sloan WES-1000 Waterless Urinal | B252686 - GlobalIndustrial.com

They have these in Tampa International Airport where you'd think with the volume of people, it'd be a river of piss. These are designed to mitigate the shake and spray and the dribble and leak.... so they say.

But back to the orginal post... I've never understood how you get poo splattered on the wall behing the toilet. I mean seriously... what the f is going on in there?

What really plunks my twanger is people leave the ash-gaskets on the toilet seat when they're done. What, your precious arse can't touch toe toilet seat bt you expect someone else to touch the ash-gasket your butt sat on?

About 20 years ago I worked in a large computer based company and this was a habitual occurance and a source of aggravation to all. A bunch of us made a pact and whenever we saw someone go in, somebody would check it out right after they left. Sure enough, about three days into this, the culprit was discovered. After it was verified (we caught him twice), the next time he went in a few of us quietly went into the bathroom waited for him right outside the stall door. He was surprised to see five of us there blocking his way and someone said "I think you forgot something". He played stupid and was coaxed back in and, sure enough, there was the gasket. He was red as a beet but he did put it into the crapper. He never did that again and the problem disappeared. And, I won't say where, but he was not native to this country but one where cleanliness is valued. And, yes, word spread about his antics. He didn't have too many close associates after that.
