Recently started my new job so trying to make a good impression as you do. Went into Ladies yesterday. There was only one spare stall. I noticed that there was a used sanitary towel hanging out of sanitary bin where someone hadn't pushed it through enough ( yuk I know ) I finished up and came out only to find a colleague outside who went into same one straight after as there was a queue. Now this person I've heard gossiping about everything and nothing is sacred, and I think everyone's a bit intimidated by her but seem to go along whatever she says ( older, related to the owner, power position). I've been out on site today but now I'm scaring the crap out of myself in case she confronts me..or sends a shaming email round for when I get back. E.g. she tried to identify someone who hadn't turned a tap off to " name and shame" by discussing with other team members who had been in the ladies and when. I feel mortified but it wasn't me! Should I have tried to move it? or said something? Or am I just being an idiot? I feel pretty intimidated anyway as I'm still on probation.

No of course you should't have to handle someone else's used sanitary items. Gross!

You know it wasn't you. Why on earth say anything? And if she "confronts" you simply tell it like it is.

As for the email discussion about naming and shaming someone for not turning off a tap - HR issue if ever there was one!

Eew gross no of course you shouldn't have moved it. Yuck.
If she 'names and shames' you via email then respond!! 'I did not leave a used sanitary towel in the bathroom. Please speak to management if there are any cleaning issues. Fuck you.'
