Work toilets have a 'V.I.POO' in each one?

New workplace. We have three levels. One floor has a toilet each (male and female).

The ladies have V.I.Poo sprays. As far as I know, the men do not Grin according to someone I work with, when I made a light hearted joke about the toilets having the sprays in. He said there wasn't one for the men.

Would the strike you as odd? Somewhat lighthearted.

There's a little printed sign that says "Before you have a poo, spray this in the loo. It stops unpleasant smells, so we don't all think this is hell!"

The rhyme alone makes me feel stabby.

Sausagefingers9 · 24/11/2018 21:00

Ooh v v unreasonable on the rhyme!

In reality none of us like the smell of poo so having the option to spray is nice. Would be nice for the men to have the option too though

I have worked with women before who thinking pooing at work is an abomination. Drives me mad

WishfulSprouts · 24/11/2018 21:01

Maybe they had a particularly stinky lady shitter- we’ve had to put a sign up in our ladies loos at work after ‘smearing’ incidents 🤢😮

ShotsFired · 24/11/2018 21:03

What's the betting a female employee took it upon themselves to supply the spray and signs?

KindergartenKop · 24/11/2018 21:03

That rhyme is only second to the ones that come in wedding invites demanding cash.

Women are more likely to have IBS and therefore busy ladies toilets will stink a lot more if the cubicle doors don’t touch the ground. I know this from bitter experience — used to help my aunt clean lots of loos in companies when I was a kid.

My thoughts too

StopTheSundayBlues · 24/11/2018 21:08

There aren't any cubicles. It's just one toilet per day, per floor.

I'd say a woman employee did indeed supply it but why not just supply for your floor and your floor's toilet alone?

It's expensive stuff Confused

one toilet per day? So 365 toilets a year? Grin

StopTheSundayBlues · 24/11/2018 21:18

That should day one toilet per floor GrinGrin

I buy VIP Poo for the toilets at work. It gets used as it always smells fragrant. I don't want to smell shit when I use the facilities.

thenightsky · 24/11/2018 21:26

Someone would nick it within 24 hours at my work.

Sparrowlegs248 · 24/11/2018 21:29

I work with women who think pooing in the work toilets is disgusting.

IAmBeyonceAlways · 24/11/2018 21:38

I havent used this but always wondered - does it work?

StopTheSundayBlues · 24/11/2018 21:44

IAm I can confirm it does work.

But why do you need it?

I think women are maybe more uncomfortable with the prospect of pooping in a shared loo (Or public loo -I know I can’t go) whereas men make an almighty stink in any loo thinking “when you got to go you got to go”.
I have one loo on the floor I work on and some times when I walk in I walk straight back out because I wouldn’t want anyone thinking I did that!
I could consider actually pooping if they had v.i.poo rather than spending all day holding it in giving myself tummy ache. We only have febreeze spray and bleach and I know that doesn’t work odour wise. I would celebrate if I worked in your place but the printed sign would piss me off.

Namechangeforthiscancershit · 24/11/2018 21:47

I’m ok with the spray but not the rhyme. That is horrific!

NonaGrey · 24/11/2018 21:47

why not just supply for your floor and your floor's toilet alone?

Because they are supplying it for the toilet they use surely.

Seems fairly straightforward.

sheepwithoneear · 24/11/2018 21:48

I am one of those people that think pooing at work is rank.
I hate walking in the door to our and the farm smells hit you before you have even reached the inner door.
Get a bathroom schedule people train your bowels ala Sheldon Cooper

If any of the women have pregnancy nose I wonder which is their preference?

As with others, it's expensive so I'm surprised someone is subsidising this.

There are various DIY spray recipes (as well as the basic liquid recipe that can be use with a dropper): overall, the odour blocker part of it is the oil film it creates on the water.
