To be disgusted in dirty habits of women at work

I cannot believe how many times i have been in the ladies toilets at my work lately to be greeted by, and there's no nicer way of putting this, a mess in the bowl. I think it is disgusting that anyone would leave this for the next person to come along and can't believe it happens so often in the ladies. Why should i have to keep flushing other peoples business away just because they are too lazy and shameless. Then there's the getting out of the toilet quickly in case someone thinks it was me......euwww it makes me sick.
I want to write a note on the door that gets the point across any suggestions Smile

Arf at "poo troll"!

We have a phantom shitter at work leaving hideous messes in the toilets.

The worst I ever saw was a completely vertical turd pointing up from the back of the toilet seat, about 4 inches long. I mean how? How?

I love post it notes for situations like these, they can become rather funny.

You want to try some pseudo psycho bollocks?

Large photo of eyes on the back of the cubical door. Apparently if people think they are being watched they behave in more socially acceptable ways. And even if they aren't being watched, if you can plant the idea in their head - by using a photo of eyes for example - you can still have the same effect.

I'd suggest a photo of the boss, however I suspect this might have the opposite to the desired effect!

I went into the loo at a park recently and someone had put a large blood clot on the window sill of a loo. Poor person who had to clean that up!

FyFan · 25/09/2012 20:53

To be honest the life of a toilet ain't great.
There really are many things that I hate.
I'm sat on, then shat on, then pissed on some more
I cringe when I see someone come through the door.
I'm telling you it just does my head in
I'm just treated like a shit and piss bin.

There has to be more that's out there for me
I'm tired of this crap, its not hard to see.
So, next time you visit take the time to think
remember the life of a toilet does stink.

When you visit please show some respect
and wipe me as well, its how your own arse is kept.
When you are done, please show some affection,
I don't want to give the next person infection,
so give me a clean its not hard to do
and please stop me looking like I've shit myself too!

confusedpixie · 25/09/2012 21:58

FyFan Grin Love that. Read it to DP who stated "Where on earth did you get that from? No wait. Mumsnet."

PicklesThePottyMouthedParrot · 25/09/2012 22:02

Count yourself lucky. I worked somewhere where we had what was called the phantom lift shitter!

If your in a big place just complain to facilities. They might send an email around.

There are some filthsrels about mind.

GoingBlankAgain · 25/09/2012 22:05

We have an expert pebble-dasher at work toilets. DIRTY bitch looked like she'd left tomato soup behind today. Praps it was vom and not poo. All the same, wipe your smears.

PicklesThePottyMouthedParrot · 25/09/2012 22:06

"wipe your smears
Or there will be tears"

YANBU, that's disgusting.

I'm fortunate in that one of the (2) toilet cubicles in my work has a window, which I automatically open when I go in anyway. I believe there should be a constant flow of fresh air in a toilet cubilcle!!

(I also ALWAYS put the lid down before flushing as it DOES spray germs all over the place if you don't!! Yes, that is a scientific fact.)

If I have to "go", there is always a bottle of a bleach-type cleaner there so I flush, pour some cleaner down, and usually flush again, for good measure. (this makes sure the toilet is then clean for the next person.)

If I go in and I know someone has "been", very obvious 'cos they have used the air freshener (why can't they just open the flaming window!!! The smell of air freshener then pervades right out and down the stairs, making it more obvious, IMO, that you have just "been".), then I skoosh the cleaner round the seat and dry it.

I then scoosh some down the loo and flush it, so that's it clean before I go, I don't want to be in contact with other people's arse germs!!! Oh, and I always carry wipes with me as I like to be properly clean IYKWIM.

Yes, I am a bit anal. so to speak about these things! I know there have been threads on here about such matters before. What I wonder is this: when you change a baby's pooey bot, are we not all very meticulous about using wipes to clean away every trace of poo?? Would anyone just wipe poo off a baby's bot with toilet roll?? I doubt it.

So why then does that stop when baby/toddler starts using the potty/toilet, and continues into adulthood?? If you got shite on your hand, would you just wipe it off with toilet roll?? Or would you wash with soap and water? Well, to me, one's bot is the same.

I rejoiced when flushable wipes came on the market! Before that I would use some liquid soap on some toilet paper, or would occasionally use an ordinary baby wipe and flush it, but they can clog the plumbing.

I don't mean that everyone on MN or in RL has got a manky behind! I jjust remember quite a few posters saying that they always wiped carefully with toilet roll and that was enough. Can never understand why people think like that.

My 2 DS, age 4 and 5, will shout "freshen me"! Or they do it themsleves and I check they have done it properly. I have trained them to say to Granny/Grandpa etc, "please freshen me properly with a wipe or baby lotion, I don't want a yukky bot"!! Yes, it's not always possible at school or nursery, and yes, they are becoming more independent.

To me, a clean bot is de rigeur haha!!!! Sorry, have got side-tracked and gone off on one! Why not take in a bottle of bleach, a liberal dose down the loo should sort out any nastiness. And I'd be inclined to scoosh some on the seat too!

(oh, to be back in the toilets at Chicago airport, where a new seat cover "came round" automatically after every flush, it was so lovely and clean!)

Am off to have a shower before I go to bed, I like to feel clean going to bed!! (am very tired and stressed, spent ages looking for some paperwork in the black hole that I call my house my home office. I need a secretary! Hence my "rant" about clean bots, finally sitting down and therapeutic to offload, though not literally!)

SundaysGirl · 26/09/2012 00:12

What there is, ahem, 'stuff' other than wee on the seat? O_o

Thats pretty gross.

If it was just wee I was going to recommend the old standby -

'if you tinkle while you sprinkle
Be a sweetie
And wipe the seatie'

Grin Seen that on toilets doors far too many times to count over the years.

wherearemyGOLDsocks · 26/09/2012 00:47

I used to run a pub just off Leicester Square, one morning I came down to work to find some dirty fucker had shit on my doorstep!! I retreated to my office to try and work out how to tackle it. When I came back down it was gone, the cleaner had sorted it. Needless to say she got a bonus that week.

GoldMrsSippy · 26/09/2012 00:56

I used to work in an office where someone used to wrap their poo in loo roll and shove it in the sanitary bin - truly foul!!!!

ripsishere · 26/09/2012 05:55

Freshen me? clean bot?

McHappyPants2012 · 26/09/2012 06:25

Please don't put notices up, It makes the cleaners job harder.

As a cleaner I will say women toilets are worse then mens

InfinityWelcomesCarefulDrivers · 26/09/2012 06:28

Why does it make the cleaner's job harder? And urgh to women's being nicer than men's - I never thought that would be the case Envy

InfinityWelcomesCarefulDrivers · 26/09/2012 06:29

worse, not nicer :)

McHappyPants2012 · 26/09/2012 06:30

because they need to be removed and any sticky tapes that it's be put up with. ( unless it laminated and stuck up with blu tac)

It drives me nuts

InfinityWelcomesCarefulDrivers · 26/09/2012 06:32

oh I see, I assumed you could leave them if you agreed with the sentiment :o

CurlyhairedAssassin · 26/09/2012 16:15

Wow, Cubbie, that does sound a bit anal, yes! Well of course people use wipes when changing a poorly nappy because usually it has squished all over the place and it NEEDS wipes to get it all off properly to prevent nappy rash.

I'm assuming you don't do your number 2s in your underwear then sit down on it? Grin. So not really getting the need to scrub a bum hole clean with a wipe if it's already pristine after a toilet roll wipe? Ok we all know what is meant by a "ten-wipes" one and obviously when water is needed on the toilet roll to help clean it then i do it but I think you're mad to be taking some fanny wipes in your handbag everywhere you go! And what does your other half do- presumably he doesn't have a handbag?

Confused
CurlyhairedAssassin · 26/09/2012 16:16

That should be POOEY nappy. Not poorly.

101handbags · 26/09/2012 16:52

OP - we have the same problem in our ladies loo at work too - 3 cubicles and there is always at least one that's ahem... unuseable. A few months ago I spent all of 5 minutes making a notice that said 'Don?t be in a rush. Check your flush. Please leave the toilet as you would expect to find it. Thank you' and used a clip art photo of a toilet with lots of lovely colourful flowers coming out of it Smile. So I sneaked in and stuck these works of art in every cubicle. A week or so later my boss starting moaning about the notices in the toilet & they didn't last long. But I share your pain. Oh and by the way, another thing I hate is when you go in for a quick wee and it's obvious the person in the next cubicle has been in there for a while and it stinks. They are just waiting for someone else to come in... and as soon as you go into the cubicle they flush, dash out and leave. At this point you have to pray that you don't meet someone else coming in as you leave.... I went into the toilet once and it absolutely stunk, cue an embarrassed girl saying 'it wasn't me.. honest'.

McHappyPants2012 · 26/09/2012 19:17

I don't get what so difficult that an adult can not flush the toilet, put waste in the bin and wash thier hands.

In my work place I can understand patients toilets as they are ill and get mobility issues ect but staff toilets. I sometimes think how dirty must there toilet at home be
