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....

This has to be one of the most disgusting threads ever but some of the post are so funny.
My friend did something like that on my loo, left blood on the seat, floor and underneath the seat it was covered and dripping.
I didn't mention it to her as I'm sure she didn't notice but cleaning it was extremly gross.

Is this just an England thing? Here in Canada, I've worked at a dozen different places, and never encountered a disgusting toilet.

I'm retired now, but I've used the loos at Wal-Mart, the mall, the bus station, a medical centre, a couple of public halls, and any number of restaurants, and never encountered anything untoward.

Maybe I have low standards.

I once found a used ovulation stick in the toilets at work on top of the sanitary bin! All I could guess was that it must have been good news and they left in a hurry to get at it! It's a big company so no idea who it was.

I used to work in retail and all of this was depressingly common. Poo smears on the wall happened a lot.
The weirdest was a lady who managed to pull the soap dispenser off the wall. I went in (fairly pg at the time, so needing to go a lot) and she just handed me the inside section full of soap. There was soap all over the sink and floor.

I've done the toilet Goldilocks thing a few times. I was in a restaurant once and there was about four/five cubicles. One had two used sanitary towels and a tampon on top of the full bin (obviously run out of room to put it in) plus blood splatters on the seat. One was blocked with Loo roll and shit. One had no toilet seat !! And the other had no lock on the damn door. I chose the lock free one and sort of sat with my feet pushing against the door. Complained to management. It wasn't a scrubby restaurant either, a chain one but a nice chain.

Working in retail, you find that toilets take second place to people pooing and weeing in the changing rooms. Fortunately, this hasn't happened at the shop where I work, as the carpet in the changing rooms is cream velvet and the thought of cleaning that up...

acasualobserver · 26/04/2016 07:59

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 --?

If the smearer is a child, a reaction to sexual abuse could be a possibility.

I've see all of these unfortunately, one workplace has phantom shitter who'd poo in the stairwell Confused. I also once encountered a used tanpon in top of the cistern when the sanitary bin was inches away. The other disgusting thing is people who use the bin but leave the pad stuck just under the lid so you get faced with someone elses used pad on opening bleurgh!

CanadianJohn Unfortunately it's not just an English thing, happens over here as well.

There was a school of nursing that had a toilet block next to the students changing room. They all used to have normal buckets filled with disinfectant and a toilet brush in all stalls. Someone had gone in and pooped in the disinfection buckets instead of the toilet bowl.

Went into staff toilet, nurse washing hands at sink so thought she had "done her business", went into cubicle, and then someone entered the next one. After I emerged and was washing my hands, same nurse exited from the toilet and left without washing her hands. I mentioned it to another nurse who stated she had also seen this women do the same thing. Fortunately she did not work on either of our two wards.

Left work one evening and found an indigenous woman hanging about the lift in the car park, who then went and did a poop on the ground in front of a car. Lovely.

Also had reported several pooped on loos to management as they occured over several days. Found out it was some visitors who could not be bothered going downstairs to the public toilets, so were using the staff loos. It was so bad management had to fork out for a staff only card lock.

I remember years ago trying a dress on in a store in Oxford Street. The Changing cubicles were open for about ten inches at the bottom and the same at the ceiling.
While I was changing I heard a sound as if water was being poured and realised someone was relieving them selves in the next door cubicle, the puddle crept quite rapidly into my cubicle , then the grunting started!!!
I exited asap and told the staff.

A long time ago the men's toilets kept getting blocked. Turns out someone was eating a yogurt and a large orange in a cubicle then pooping in the tube an sticking it down the toilet. This went on for ages, until it was noted that the same person brought these exact things in for tea break most days. Cue a sting operation by security and staff member being caught and sacked. He was also done for criminal damage due to the cost of unblocking the toilets many times!!

After recently potty training DS, going to public loos anywhere has been a trial. The things I've only just stopped him from poking his finger in.

FFS - the sanpro packaging means you can wrap it up and stick it on your bag, what's wrong with people?

And DS didn't quite make it to the bowl at the zoo recently. I mopped up - but I think one of the chimps had been in there before us. Shock

MintyBojingles · 26/04/2016 13:58

YANBU.

Someone stuffed one down the sink where I work - very professional business - and guess what? The sink flooded.

amarmai · 26/04/2016 14:10

it happens in canada too. saw out of the bowl poo deposits at former toilets at Yonge/Bloor subway station- ttc has closed a lot of their toilets because of problems. winners toilet 2 days ago had blood droppings . often seen the san pad left out and smears on walls. I think it's an expression of contempt for others.
