to expect the toilet seat not to be cover in (period?) blood

The toilet that we have to use at work actually spurts out water so when you finish it looks like you have pissed on the seat when youhavent. Bloody annoying.

maybe wasn't the most catchy lyric...

what's that Go-Betweens song about period blood? This thread title always gets me humming it

You don't sound too happy at work mother2b...what could YOU do to improve situation ? I mean overall...

I suspect the pee on the seat was because whoever was there last actually straddled and peed because she couldn't bear to sit down on a public loo seat. Should have wiped it clean though! yuk!

Kerrymum, we don't have the paper loo seat covers here because THEY COST TOO MUCH MONEY and our health as toilet users doesn't matter when there is profit involved!

I work in a hospital and in our outpatients department there is a SINGLE toilet between 50 members of staff, men AND women, which opens straight out into a corridor.

So, not only can you not get in it most of the time, you can't relax long enough for a no. 2 (which was probably hospital management's intention ) as there's always someone hovering outside, but it is usually in a DISGUSTING state and more often than not either has (a) no loo roll, or (b) a loo roll sat on top of the sanitary bin (very hygienic), or (c) no soap or paper towels.

Domestic Services only clean at night, so you can go all day like that, and apparently for 'health and safety reasons' they are not allowed to clean bodily fluids, so if there is a puddle of pee on the floor (has been before) or any shit, one of the nurses has to clean it up. (That also applies up on the wards, by the way, and includes blood and vomit).

Then we have to go and poke patients in the privates. Well, I don't personally, but you know what I mean. Hurrah for the Health Service.

(I think I need to think about my current propensity to either start or reply to poo related threads )

Having cleaned pub loos in the past I can assure you all that when it comes to disgustingness girls far outrank boys.

nightynight: I also watch them! and i am more than wiilling to pay the 50c to use them, just for the joy i get watching them!!!!

I am going to india for 6 weeks later this year, then i will be coming back on here with the grossest toilet stories!!

I was in Malaga in March. I was coming up from a subway, and on every step of the final flight there was a fat, grey human turd ... with a farking palm leaf on the top of each, like a little bloody (I'm so pleased with myself) flag. "

How did you know it was human poo ?

sarz, I am so sad, I always flush teh loo and watch while it cleans itself, and wish that our loo at home did that!

however those loos cost 50c a go, and the grotty ones in the parking stops are free, so I am trying to organise myself to use only those now

At my work the toilets get cleaned twice a day and inbetween cleans they are so gross - is it such a big deal to flush the toilet?? - i have started taking my dettol antibac wipes in my bag and giving the seat a rub beforehand!! and these are the ladies - would hate to see the men's

Has anyone ever been to the toilet in a german service station?? they are amazing! firstly everything has sensors so you dont actually have to touch them and second, when you flush, the toilet seat turns 90 degrees and the half that you just sat on gets cleaned!!

Kerrymum - surely Hep and HIV are only transmittable if you have an open wound on your own hands when you touch the blood? And I thought the viruses died fairly soon after exposure to air anyway?

To the OP - that is rank!!! Bleugh! I work in a big City bank and it is truly disgusting what some of the loos contain when you walk in unsuspecting - I think some of these women are too up themselves to look behind them when they get up off the seat!

And this is why I'm too afraid to use a mooncup - I know I'd only spill the damn thing and have to spend the next half hour mopping up!

ROFL Rgee!!! The grimmest thing ever!

You think girls toilets are bad - you should see the boys.

A lot of blokes wee with the seat down to test their aim - so wee all over the seat. If they lift the seat its wee all over the top of the bowl.

Then you get the biggest turd in the world left floating for your attention.

And have I mentioned the gay graffiti?

Re the period blood - I bet it was a mooncup wearer!

Am I the only person who doesn't find period blood gross, certainly not as gross as piss anyway?

As a Saturday gal years ago I worked in a well known kiddies retailer, which had a baby change room and a separate toilet.

One day, a lady sidled up to me to say her mother had just had an..ahem..accident. On approaching said toilet, the smell was so strong it made my colleague run up the stairs gagging. We daredn't go in after that, so the boss rolled up his sleeves and investigated. I bravely held open the door (I'd do anything for £1.97 an hour in those days) and witnessed the poo carnage in front of our disbelieving eyes. The sh*t had literally hit the fan - it exploded so quickly out of her arse, it had ricocheted out of the pan, onto the walls and onto the ceiling. The boss turned to me with a straight face and said "have you got a brolly?".

(BTW YANBU)

It is amazing at how filthey some women are. We have someone in our building who does a huge smelly dump every day and leasves skiddies and the most awful smell - so bad it pervades into the corridor. Purlease!

An aside; why is it that on exiting any kind of public loo area, you ALWAYS have to pull the main door thus touching the filthy handle, rather than push it, which you could do with an elbow ? There's 2 way traffic, so why not spare those of us who have washed our hands from having to do this ?

I couldnt tell you the amount of times ive been to the loo at work and the last person has not flushed the loo! (after a poo!)I agree if someone leaves the toilet in that sort of state theyre hardly likely to wash there hands when they leave! I work in a GPS Surgery too!!!

It was rank.

eurgh - speak to your Health and Safety department about this unsanitary situation.

I work in H&S and we had a massive thing a few years ago about cultural differences when it comes to toilet behaviour!

Loads of people laughed until they realised we were serious!
