Work Toilets

Should be no solids at all, but isn't always.

Shouldn't be double-matresses cut up and stuffed into a 6" sewer pipe either, but we're still not going to design our assets around the stupidity of the few...

I've also been told by a plumber who came out to do repairs that in some situations a buildup of solids can occur from urine. Similar sort of thing to "furring" from "hard" water, but with different substances.

High turbidity resulting from the low flows of infrequent use, suggesting urinal unnecessary in the first place.

The frequency of this feels disproportionate to the frequency I would expect to see this done in the outside world. Anybody else experience this in their workplace?

Not here, but it was mandatory in the Army. Almost the height of bad manners. Then again, we also kept things clean anyway and the chances of anyones' poor toilet habits upsetting someone who was armed were massively higher than my current workplace!!
 
Work toilet here has just had a NHS produced leaflet "How To Wash Your Hands" affixed to the wall behind the basins - I kid you not! We're all wondering what's next, perhaps a notice in the cubicle explaining how to wipe your posterior?
 
Some of these stories are utterly grim. :eek: Thankfully in my office of a few hundred people, every single toilet is immaculate on a daily basis. Had the occasional moment where I've walked into the cubicle that someone else has just left and been gassed, but other than that nothing to report!
 
I'm never going to understand the non western way of using a toilet.

Where I live we have a lot of refugees, a lot of them unversed in western "customs"
There's a beautiful fishing spot I go to and in the car park has a shower toilet combined public amenity. This works because it's in rural Sweden the local folk rarely vandalise stuff for a laugh....
Anyway the place is now a freaking disaster zone because of uneducated toilet users.
The fact it's a wet room is it's saving grace and it's relatively easily washed down. There's about 6 notes in all different languages kindly explaining don't **** on the floor or do your laundry here.... Animals.

I have made an observation, the toilets in my office are all cubicles, no urinals at all. Now I have noticed that a lot of the gents who frequent said cubicles put the lid down after use, not just the seat, the lid as well. The frequency of this feels disproportionate to the frequency I would expect to see this done in the outside world. Anybody else experience this in their workplace? I have a theory it's because a large proportion of the chaps have very domineering wives, I need Tosno to confirm whether or not this makes my workplace "beta".

I put the lid down before I flush because I'm not a fan of spraying droplets of the contents of a toilet all over the place and not because I have a very domineering wife. Perhaps people at your workplace do it for the same reason.

Never thought of that, excellent point. Despite the tone of my post I'm not having a go, it's just I've never seen it at any other workplace and stereotypically it's something that men are not known for doing.

I put the lid (not the seat, the lid) down because its habitual. I grew up in a house where it was just the done thing to do and so i view a open lid in someones home or a toilet which isn't a pit, as a bit weird. It just doesn't look right the other way, similarly to leaving the curtains open after dark in rooms of the house that are not being used.

In a busy toilet like a public one or a busy office, i can understand but if it was a single room office bathroom, lid goes down after use.

I do the same for the same reason. I'm surprised this isn't common and considered normal.
 
Just popped my head into a cubicle in the works bogs and somebody has upped the game when it comes to unacceptable crapper etiquette. Blood on the toilet seat, yes, blood. Not a small amount either, a big ol' smear across the back half of the seat. My colleagues are animals.
