To think you can just PUT THE FUCKING PADS IN THE SANITARY DISPOSAL BIN?!

Rant alert.
I was at the movie theatre with some of my friends, when I needed the toilet. First toilet, the seat is covered in blood (tmi) I think "eww" and go to the other toilet. On top of the sanitary bin, there is a used pad, face up, staring at me! I ended up using the loo at home, since the sanitary bin was so close to the toilet that I think my ass would have actually touched it!! Am I unreasonable to think that the whole world doesn't want to see your used pads, and why put them ON TOP? Why not spend 5 seconds and clear up your mess? I actually feel sorry for the cleaners....

Oh my gosh. I cannot believe I came across this post but I suppose this happens more than we think.
I saw something similar years ago re the smearing, and I think it's something to do with high intelligence and frustration - well that's what I noted from the "smearer". Who really knows?

Someone where I worked had had an explosive poo in one of the toilets today. I went in, and quickly walked out as the rim was splattered with crap.
Where my sister works, someone keeps crapping at the back of the toilet seat. We think someone's hovering as they don't want to sit on the seat.
There are some seriously disgusting people about.

TradGirl · 25/04/2016 21:03

Yep, phantom shitter in our work too. I have a suspicion who it is. She shits and flushes but leaves massive turdy bits all over the toilet Angry I would love to leave a PA note on her preferred cubicle but then I'd no doubt get a bollocking Hmm

Ahappynewmummy · 25/04/2016 21:08

I was camping once so had to use the toilet block (this wasn't a branded site just a family run one). I went to the toilet to go and use the showers and the toilet. the shower next to me was occupied and next thing I saw was a filled pad drop on the floor. I was just in shock she never picked it up either. after that terrible event I went to the toilet (the staff had just finished cleaning them I should add) and the seat had blood on it. I didn't know how to react to this mess.

ProudAS · 25/04/2016 21:12

Disgusting - the sight of poo makes me retch. Used sanpro doesn't but no doubt it does with some people.

Woobeedoo · 25/04/2016 21:14

Sometimes my work toilet cubicles leave me feeling like I'm a bizarre Goldilocks. "Too pissy", "Too smelly", "Too skiddy", "Too - oh my god no, back away, back away".

zznotxy · 25/04/2016 21:15

And us lads get an ear bending at home for leaving the seat up! Not that I ever do that if course.

AnotherPrickInTheWall · 25/04/2016 21:16

It's a well know fact that some people get off by doing disgusting things in public toilets.
I had a brief stint working as a cleaner. Someone ( a man) , would shit on the lid of the bog, wipe his shit covered hands on the walls then proceed to lock the door; climb in to the next cubicle and repeat this several times.
Another favourite trick would be to fill the toilet bowl with about two rolls worth of paper and shit resulting in not only blocking the loo but causing a flood.
Loosening the U bends on all the urinals was commonplace as well.

Kirjava · 25/04/2016 21:17

In 2 of the 3 cubicles at work today there was shit smeared on the seat. So incredibly disgusting. Makes me angry.

Ahappynewmummy · 25/04/2016 21:17

Oh and I got a few about work.

I use to work in a big retail company, my DP still does (that's how we met). once the female staff toilets got flooded because one member of staff could flush/didn't want to flush so covered it with toilet paper. another staff member thought it was nasty so tried to flush it and that's how the flood happened.

second one was when my partner was working and our friend (who's a cleaner) was doing the routine toilet clean when she came running out to my DP to have a look in the toilet (he's allowed as he's the manager of security) and saw the biggest poo on the floor inches from the toilet. when he told me I was on the floor in stitches that he was dragged in to see it but felt really bad for our friend.

BennyTheBall · 25/04/2016 21:18

Thankfully, I am not in my office much, so I can avoid the loos. If I do go, I enter the cubicles with great trepidation as to what horror I might find.

I hover. There is no way I would sit down. But I have never, ever left any drops on the seat.

We have a couple of women who shit with seeming abandon. They leave skidders and major stinkiness and as a consequence are often the topic of conversation.

bewilderedfish · 25/04/2016 21:36

Someone had shit on the rim of the seat then slammed the lid down on it in our toilet at work so you can imagine the mess.

We have one ladies toilet shared between around 8 women, ufortunately some men too lazy to climb the stairs to the men will use it. It's maddening.

ChemistryHunt · 25/04/2016 21:45

I think references for jobs should include a section for declaring of the person has been involved in any vile bathroom behaviour in he workplace.

I can understand that for some unfortunate people keeping clean when using the toilet is harder. However the stores here are obviously deliberate or not even trying to clean it up.

My mind boggles about what their houses must be like!

YelloRoses · 25/04/2016 21:48

thats friggin disgusting omg

WellThisIsAwful · 25/04/2016 22:13

My friend, who's a manager, just fired someone for a disgusting toilet-related incident.
They had just been to the toilet and realised there was no toilet paper, so what did they do? They used a piece of paper to wipe and proceeded to flush the piece of paper. Inevitably blocking the toilet. They then proceeded to poke the blockage 😷 with the end of a broomstick!!!!! And when they were done they left the broomstick out for people to use.
I'm so glad that dirty creature got fired. My friend has absolutely no tolerance for filthy people. 😂

Marilynsbigsister · 25/04/2016 22:28

Never ceases to amaze me that the worst toilets I've ever seen are the staff toilets at the Home Office in south London where I used to work. Supposedly fairly well educated (un)civil service.

By 10 am every day nearly every floors ladies was carpeted in toilet paper -some used, ewwww- and piss all over the seats.. Also very very common to find muddy foot prints on the toilet seat where some people have 'squatted' !

Do these people not have toilets at home ? Got so bad that the cleaners resorted to a pictorial guide on 'how to have a piss and a shit' in a civilised manner....you couldn't make it up'

MrsKoala · 25/04/2016 22:29

I used to do recruitment talks for universities (particular courses not general talks). The cleaners used to mutiny regularly as after when they were cleaning the theatre there would be used sanitary products on the floors and under the seats. There would be a programme of talks on all day and people would camp out and refuse to leave to quickly use the loo. bleurch.

I went to a girls school and it was a pretty regular occurrence for some one to stick a used sanitary pad on someones back as we were jostling down the hall between lessons. It was considered quite the jape. double bleurch.

Vixxfacee · 25/04/2016 22:32

I would never poo at work. I think it should be banned. Wees only Wink

Vixxfacee · 25/04/2016 22:33

Ignore the wink. Yuck I'm not a piss perv

Mslg · 25/04/2016 22:36

YANBU some people are fucking disgusting. The funny thing is, they wouldn't do it at home but think it's acceptable to do it in a public toilet. Disgusting.

SausageSmuggler · 25/04/2016 23:00

We have a phantom shitter at work. Always the same time of day, leaves an almighty stink. You can smell it from all the way down the corridor.

In a similar vein, I was once shepherding my DC's to a vacant changing room at the swimming pool only to find a heavily used pad on the floor of the only vacant family cubicle. Immediately understood why it was vacant Hmm

EBearhug · 25/04/2016 23:14

Blimey, I've lead a sheltered life. If been in some bad public and pub loos (and there's a whole separate conversation to be had about the worst loos when you'very been travelling) - but I don't think I've ever had bad loos at work, except actual plumbing issues (I did get dripped on from a leak in the ceiling. I choose to believe it can only have been clean water.)

Someone once apparently crapped in the dishwasher after being told they'd been made redundant, but it was before I started, so over a decade ago.

Seren85 · 26/04/2016 01:08

In my previous job we had issues of poo on the toilet seats or just behind the toilet in the ladies. After a series of emails asking consideration and cleanliness it ended up with us having to ask for a key to the toilets! It did stop after that. As for pub toilets I reported a poo and blood smeared cubicle to the bar staff and the response was "oh not again". We've never been back!

amarmai · 26/04/2016 03:02

so is poo smearing a kind of passive aggressiveness or maybe an expression of contempt as the poo smearer is superior or maybe revenge for something or hatred of fellow toilet users or --?

AlMinzerAndHisPyramidOfDogs · 26/04/2016 03:13

people are pigs.
