People who drop loo roll on the floor in toilets

And usually the toilets are stuffed with so much toilet paper so it won't flush, that annoys the hell out of me.

@notedbiscuits Yes it’s dangerous and inconvenient. You’d have hoped people would work that out for themselves but clearly lots don’t.

I have severe OCD so very rarely use toilets, especially not somewhere like a supermarket. But if I had to and accidentally dropped something on the floor I wouldn’t be able to pick it up, whether it was toilet paper or my wedding ring!

You don’t always know the reason why people might behave a certain way.

Cleaner here. There is not a day i don't go into work and there isn't a shit covered pair of boxers stuffed in the loo brush holder, down the toilet or in the cistern. Not a shift where im not cleaning chunks of vomit out of the urinals even though there is a bin present. Used tampons stuffed all over even though there are sanitary bins. Toilet roll on the floor is standard. I found a boot in the toilet once??? I have no clue what the hell people are thinking but a total disregard for the people that have to clean it. I'm not paid enough haha

Scrolling this thread has reminded me of the last time I went to Tesco and needed a wee. Somebody, some absolute minger, had dropped a poo on the middle of thebfloor between the basins and the toilet cubicles. The mond boggles!

They don't do it at home because they're the ones who have to clean it up. Elsewhere, their attitude is very much ' not my job '. I worked as a cleaner and I've seen it all!

I agree! I work in primary schools, and am constantly seeing bits of loo roll and hand towels on the floor!
Then I got into the staffroom and look at all these friendly, professional-looking people, and wondering what their houses look like!
I get accidentally dropping a bit of loo roll, but why on earth just leave it there?! I can honestly say, in all my years of using toilets, I've never once dropped any rubbish and thought, "fuck it - leave it there". Bizarre behaviour.

Whatever you touch in a public toilet will be fine as long as you wash your hands properly after 🙄

The irony is there will be a proportion of people who leave a public loo in a disgusting shit state who then also complain if a builder wants to use the loo at their home

What sort of public loos are you using @soupyspoon? I don't encounter ones with wet, tiddly floors (except at the beach). Also what are you doing with your trousers if they trail on then floor? I don't think this has ever happened to me.

@Didshejustsaythatoutloud My current peeve is the ones who try to return their trolley but the bay is already full, so they return the trolley anyway and then others follow suit and before you know it you have a chain of trolleys halfway across the car park so cars can no longer move safely around the car park. So idiotic- just find a different trolley bay FFS! (But of course the next trolley bay is a whole 30 metres away and so many people are too lazy and unfit to take a short walk).

I worked in a hospital as a domestic and the staff toilets were the worst! Womens again worse than mens. They were also the sort of people who would miss the bin in their office and leave it on the floor for us to clean up 🫠

I work in retail and part of my job is checking the loos (I check them every 15 mins ish and take pride in having a loo that's really clean)

I'd be on my knees with gratitude if someone just left a bit of loo roll on the floor

In the last fortnight alone I've had:
Shit smeared up the walls
Piss up the wall and all over the floor
Unflushed toilet
Used San pro stuck to the door/wall/loo
Snot wiped on the door handles
Shit smeared all over the bowl
Shitty boxer shorts stuffed in the bowl and had been flushed
Used condoms/pregnancy tests/vapes left floating in the bowl/thrown on the floor
Someone shoved a whole roll of paper in the bowl and shat on top of it
Blobs of cum in the urinal

And the worst one (I'm going back about a year) was a family (mum,dad and 3 kids) had gone into the disabled and shat all over the floor-the puddle of shit was crawling with worms

I can deal with a bit of loo roll-i can sweep that up and bin it

I'm a cleaner in a commercial/public building and the loo roll thing drives me mad, just why?!! There are toilet brushes in every cubicle, and signs to ask users to please leave the cubicle as they found it but still people leave skid marks and mess everywhere, I genuinely don't get it when they presumably wouldn't leave their own toilet in that state I clean a variety of toilets across the site, some used by workers in fairly 'industrial' jobs and some by workers in 'posh' offices, guess which are the worst? The office loos are always awful, including one cubicle where someone regularly (somehow!) cakes the toilet brush in wet loo roll (and god knows what else!) and then leaves it in the holder to dry to a hard lump, which is lots of fun for me to remove the next morning 🙄 People's toilet habits are a constant source of bemusement for me and I often wonder what their toilets at home must look like!

Ths shoppjng trolley leavers are the worst of the worst.

Nice to see their are others on here who today public loos. I thought I was a weirdo!
I don't wipe counter tops (unless it is me who has made a mess) but I tidy up dropped loo roll and paper towels

Exactly. People like this think they are right but the reality is they are doing what is right for THEM.
A scruffy, selfish individual who purposefully leaves a mess for people she deems beneath her.

I'm not a cleaner but I work in hospitality and I have to do toilet checks every hour.
I absolutely hate the people who drop toilet paper all over the floor its so lazy and scummy.

@soupyspoon what you do is extremely selfish. You are not leaving it cleaner than you found it, you are adding extra work to people like me. You just make a hard day harder not to mention how absolutely disgusting it is to clean up! Do you think staff like me are beneath you? Or that you are far superior to cleaners so it doesn't matter if we have to clean up your vile mess?

Not flushing poo away is also horrible. I think that our toilets fill back up quite slowly so if they won't flush straight away people can't be bothered to wait.

This is exactly the problem, the rest of society is wondering which antisocial idiot left the paper on the floor and you are congratulating yourself for leaving it cleaner. And because the behaviour is driven by anxiety you won’t be able to let go of the feeling of being right about this.

Well I dont have gloves or a pick up stick, if I did, then I would

The problem with washing hands is if you have to touch the tap, then you havent got clean hands by the end of it, you cant touch the tap with paper because it just disintegrates. I touch nothing at all in toilets with my bare hands so if I cant grip it with paper in my hands then I dont touch it at all.

Of course if I go into a loo and the floor is clean and dry, theres no need for me to clean the floor, so there isnt any paper I leave on the floor. The loo roll doesnt always fall out my hands either, it depends on how my hands are behaving themselves.

Sorry you feel angry.

I have tried that but its very difficult to pick paper up with paper in your fingers to protect your hand, I also have grip issues due to a disability in my hands so its better to push it to the back with my foot. Apart from the paper at the back of the loo the loo is always much cleaner after I have been in it.

Most motorway services toilets do, and my last workplace did.

I always clean up, as I don’t want the next person using the loo after me to think I’m a mucky pup!
