I am getting fed up with work at the moment, we have a unisex toilet that everyone uses, I always wipe to seat down ( not that i make mess, just to be curtious )and give it a scrub with some bleach after anything other than a pee.

I came back from work after holiday to find the toilet seat smeared with ahem! And pubic hairs, yes more than one, all over the back bit under the seat hinge.

The sink was dire, no toilet roll restocked, hand paper towles not stocked and no anti bac soap in the pump.

Would i be unreasonable to tell them its disgusting and that if i see it like that again ( yes i did clean it ) i will make a formal compliant to AM?

Im sick of these people i work with TBH, lazy, disrespectful and sometimes stinky, ugh, why do i work there!!!!!!

what should i do?

Yes, I would make a complaint

And leave a note taped to the door asking people to clean up after themselves

I worked in communal offices and the state of the loos was disgusting at times - I felt sorry for the cleaners as times - grim

Have you got a camera phone? I would stop cleaning and start taking photos & note time/date etc.

Is there another toilet on another floor you can use? (am assuming not because you would not be cleaning otherwise presumably) Or is there a toilet in a local pub/Starbucks/public convenience? If so, the next time the toilet is in this state I would take a photo, email it to management (AM?) and inform them that until the toilet is maintained in a sanitary/hygienic fashion you will need to leave the premises/use an alternative floor's toilet.

You should have a nominated H&S person in your dept? Complain to them. It is a H&S risk - as norovirus/D&V season approaches they risk wiping out everyone who uses that toilet, which also then becomes a productivity issue for the business.

But whatever you do, do stop cleaning it! You are only enabling them to avoid addressing the problem. Suggest signs reminding people to leave the toilet (not in this case as they found it!) clean and tidy and reminding ppl to wash hands etc. Do you have office cleaners?

capricorn76 · 27/10/2010 15:58

My old workplace used to be like this. Everyday one of the loos would have an unflushed poo in it, wee splatters, pubic hairs and loo roll on the floor. After a few weeks of this I lost my rag and wrote a note on the wall vowing to publicly expose the woman responsible if I ever caught her and asked if she gave a toss about the mimimum wage cleaners (or colleagues) who had to clean after her.

I then got pulled in to an office to be told that a complaint was made against me for being threatening! The scummer did stop it though so it worked Grin There are some really dirty bastards out there.

Hedgeblunder · 27/10/2010 15:59

Urgh yes dirty fuckers. I never understand it-do they do it in their own houses?!?!

DuelingFanjo · 27/10/2010 16:03

yes, that's horrible.

though I would really hate to sit on a bleached toilet seat TBH, I think that's a bit OTT.

MalificenceBloodandSand · 27/10/2010 16:06

There is a woman who works on the public reception of the Council offices where I work who doesn't ever flush the toilet or wash her hands after she has visited the toilet, she even goes onto a different floor to the one she works on (mine) and aways uses the same toilet at the same time every day (5pm) - she is a scummy cow and before she moved onto reception her desk was such a pigsty that the cleaner refused to touch it, mouldy cups, you name it. Angry

OTTMummA · 27/10/2010 16:09

Sorry DuelingFanjo, i bleach the bowl, not the seat, i just wipe that down with my own babywipes, Blush yes i have ocd.

Thank goodness for these responses, makes me feel better.

Its only a small toilet, its not hard to keep clean, really, a quick wipe down, some bleach in the bowl at end of day would keep it clean fine.

We are responsible for cleaning the toilet BTW, so it is everyones job, and i resent having to do it the first 10 mins after coming back of hols.

Grim does not cover it.

Photos. Stuck on a public wall, every day. "This is how the loo was left today, Thursday, 28th October" etc

OTTMummA · 27/10/2010 16:10

I also work mainly with men, so im started to feel like they see it as my job, which pisses me off even more.

If you are responsible for cleaning it then cant you have a rota so someone goes in there at the end of the day to give it a good scoosh round. It might then make the guilty party rethink their scummy ways as it is a lot easier to clean as you go (or gone as the case may be, than to clean a erm... build up

crimsonpetal · 27/10/2010 16:14

If you start taking photos of the loo and putting them on the wall, you will look absolutely mad as cheese. Just so you know.

OTTMummA · 27/10/2010 16:18

You would think so oldraver, i have introduced a rota before, that lasted ,ooooooh, all of 48 hours, they don't even do their paid to do jobs properly so i highly doubt cleaning a bog is at the top of their priorities.

It is quite depressing really, i don't want my co workers seeing my shit smeared on the seat or my pubs lingering on the edge, so i take measures to avoid that embarresing senario.

OTTMummA · 27/10/2010 16:18

i would rather be considered mad than unclean and foul tbh.

StandingAtTheBackLookingStupid · 27/10/2010 16:30

That sounds uttely revolting. I am afaid I wouldn't care how mad it made me look - I would have to take then to task over it.

I don't understand how they manage to get crap on the seat. In all my years of toilet use, even through tummy bugs etc, I have never got crap on the seat. How does their bum hole come into contact with the seat - surely you sit,crap and stand up ? What am I missing ?

pigletmania · 27/10/2010 16:32

Don't your work have cleaners that come in every evening and clean the toilets? Make a complaint to your line manager.

Discowife · 27/10/2010 16:35

That is disgusting. I would be ashamed to leave a toilet the way the OP described it..arent they worried someone will know it was them????

StandingAtTheBackLookingStupid · 27/10/2010 16:36

x post OTTMumma - I agee, let them think you are the mad woman who won't tolerate their mess.

I also live with two males - dh and teenage ds and they never get crap on the toilet seat. Occasional skid marks that they never seem to notice, yes - but that is as bad as it gets.

Discowife · 27/10/2010 16:36

Actually leaving phots might shame the person in to being reasonably clean. dont let them know it is you putting up the photos though!

I would also complain (possibly annomously, so i could put photos about!)

MadBanners · 27/10/2010 16:52

Is there another toilet close that you could use, and just leave that one to them!?

Disgusting buggers, I do not let Dh get away with that, never mind people I work with.

scarylooker · 27/10/2010 16:58

We had someone at our work we called the Phantom Crapper. On the seat, the floor, even on one occasion the lid of the toilet. Never worked out who it was, but it got to the stage where people were coming out of the loos shouting loudly to the entire office floor "Phantom Crapper's been in Trap 2 ....".

Absolutely vile, at one point the cleaners actually threatened to go on strike.

Discowife · 27/10/2010 17:19

We had one! and my dh has one at his work scarylooker!

Except they just left mahoosive unflushables.... not anywhere outside of the toilet. I remeber one time where it was so big it actually stuck out of the water..and went in to the hole
