Let me start by saying that I am NOT one of these people who gets upset if the toilet isn't spotless, I will happily use a festival portaloo (Well, not happily).

That said, I am sick to death of having to mop up other peoples bodily waste. I'm aware that we are not equipped with the most accurate devices ever, and that accidents happen. A bit of misting on the floor and leaving it, I can understand. Same with a couple of drops the seat, although a decent human would clean this up. But if you miss utterly enough to leave a small puddle right in front of the bowl, you leave me with two options - risk getting it on my trousers, or mop it up with bog roll. This is not acceptable. Both options are ****ing disgusting. Make a mess, then clean it up. It is a professional environment, not a seedy pub.

I can only assume that their opinion is "leave it for the cleaners". Well, if that's how you think, I hope you drown in a cesspit.

This is all bad enough, but today just tipped the scale - not only did someone make one of the bogs in here look like an explosion in a curry recycling plant, they didn't even bother to flush (Not that it would have made much impact) Its disgusting. Whoever you are, when I catch up to you, I will help you learn about bathroom hygiene by buggering you to death with a loo brush.

Agreed. I don't mind the odd drop, even less about mess on the floor. However I though most people grew out of peeing on the toilet seat at aged 9. Apparently not.
 
Only slightly related but when I was in halls at university there was a phantom ******. He would pooh on top of the toilet seat with it down. What has been seen etc.
 
Should have taken a picture and circulated it around the office. Time of visit, etc. Find and shame is the name of the game.
 
i went to the toilet today and there was a bloody tampon floating in it. i struggled to hold my stomach down once that caught my attention :/

edit
i took a photo - should i circulate it around the office?
 
I thought this was routine with work toilets, that's why I only use mine if needed. its a disgusting place, and to make it worse, only 2 people work here at a time, and I know im not the culprit :p maybe some peoples tools are not big enough to get a decent shot in.
 
Yup happens in our building.. Just send an email round to everyone in the office pointing out that the individual that has done that and not cleaned it up should be ashamed of themselves.
 
Don't forget to wash your hands.

Always, it's the conundrum of what you do to exit the toilet with freshly washed hands that always does me in. Normally involves using shirt, or timing my exit with someone walking in.

Anyway, OP - at least you haven't had to deal with what we had here. Company decided to bring a load of people onshore from a middle eastern location, decided not to orientate them in Western hygiene customs.

Cue several weeks of muddy footprints on toilet seats, broken toilet seats, poopy everywhere, and one very upset and thoroughly hacked off cleaner.

edit - also, come to think of it someone keeps decimating the throne in the visitor's toilet in reception. I'd hate to be the client/customer who walks in there before a meeting.

I know a fella that I could have sworn placed a rose head for a watering can on his, just simply by how much he sprayed! It was only one day in chatting (don't even ask how the subject came up) with his missus that she explained he once had to go to hospital to get his foreskin removed from his zipper ....
:eek:

Guess I'd be shaking a bit too :D
 
There was someone in my old office building who was so impressed with their no.2 every morning that they wished to share it with the rest of the floor. Mysteriously this stopped when a small department was relocated. Fortunately now we are located in a new building with all the meeting rooms and people seem to take better care of the facilities.

you realise this was posted on an internet forum where no one gives a **** (pardon the pun) and not an internal email which probably would have unearthed the culprit ;)
 
You want to try construction site toilets, luckily I control the money so I specify a single shower / loo / ladies / disabled bolted to the side of the zoo toilets and keep the key in my desk.
 
Office I was working in last year had somebody who seemed to be afraid of touching a toilet seat with their bottom. I'd occasionally go into the toilets and find a stall where somebody had basically used about half a roll of toilet paper to cover the toilet seat.

It was incredibly weird, must take ages to do and then they just leave it like that afterwards.
 
You think that's bad? In my first proper job, I was based in a fairly prominent public building in London. The public areas were closed for refurbishment for a while and on the day they were reopened, some bizarre person went to the toilets and smeered faeces all over the walls. Just why?
 
I had a romainian working for me, he use to wizz all over the floor and not even touch the bowl. Sometimes he would come out of the toilet with his boots covered in it. The final straw was me going into the bog to find **** all round the bowl and no attempt to even tidy it up.

He was sacked about 30 seconds after I came back out.
