dirty buggers in toilets

Is it too much to ask that if you go to the toilet (outpatients this morning) that the person before you does not leave shit splattered all over the toilet bowl? I tried three toilets this morning before I found one that looked clean enough to use. I mean why do it ?. Is it too much to ask for people to clean up after themselves for heaven's sake?. It only takes a quick wipe with the toilet paper and then a good handwash. No sodding wonder Nova Virus is rampant. I feel sorry for the cleaners because there is now enough money in the world that would warrant that cleanup operation never mind the pittage they earn. And these are 'ladies' toilets.

Re bogies on walls - a couple of years ago we were provided with the verbatim comments from our annual employee engagement survey. My favourite comment was from one chap who was asking the company to stop painting over the bogies smeared in the walls in the gents and could they please actually clean them off instead

I think loo brushes are generally not available because people leave them in an even worse state than general pebble dash in the bowl.

I don't think I've ever done any damage that a couple of flushes wouldn't fix so don't really worry tbh.

I vividly remember being forced in desperation to use the only unlocked loo on a station platform late at night. It was a men's. The walls were covered in poo smears and inside the pan was a peaked heap of poo. That was years ago now. I generally find station loos not too bad these days although I'll avoid, given a choice.

"I think if the owner of a toilet wants it to be left clean then the very least they can do is provide a toilet brush or access to disinfectant or gloves. If they don't then they clearly don't care about the state of their toilet so why should I? Seriously, I don't get the Mumsnet idea that loo brushes are totally disgusting but you're supposed to stick your hand down there. Urgh."

I do agree there SHOULD be a toilet brush - there usually is. But I don't have a problem grabbing a few wads of toilet paper and wiping if I have to. It IS my mess. However, if there's no toilet paper, as is sometimes the case, not much you can do.

Oh god, I’d forgotten about bogies on the wall. At one place of work, there was at least one filthy fucker who would wipe bogies on the cubicle, and sometimes they were bloody.

Who the fuck does things like that?

GeorgeW78 · 02/02/2018 18:31

Some of these have made me laugh even though they're disgusting. Shocking behaviour, almost unbelievable!
The stuff that's requires effort (rather than laziness) - I can't understand what they get out of it, they don't get to see anyone's reaction (shock value could be a thing), they probably don't know who has to clean it up so it's unlikely to be revenge (unless it's at their work). Aren't they worried about getting caught, especially at work? Do they take a moment to appreciate their handiwork? I hope the turds fall on the turds!

Oysterbabe · 02/02/2018 18:32

At my work someone drew a smiley face on the wall in shit.

MsHopey · 02/02/2018 18:36

My poor husband is a cleaner at a supermarket for minimum wage.
He cleans shit and period blood up on a daily basis. Skidders are shit (literally) but it's kind of a lazy accident, it's the intentional smearing of shit and blood that is worse, because of course someone has to clean it up.
Worst he's ever know was some people were sleeping on the car park in their caravan, they wouldn't move and were causing a nuisance. The police moved them on in the end, but not before they took the contents of their toilet and threw it up the walls, mirrors, ceiling, anywhere they could get it.

FancyNewBeesly · 02/02/2018 18:45

When I worked in a cinema I'd find bottles of pee in a screen at least twice a shift. Luckily I only found human poo once, but that was enough.

Helllllooooooo · 02/02/2018 18:58

I worked in retail many years ago. We found used tampons and condoms on the shop floor. Utterly disgusting.
Have you seen the video of a woman in a long gown walk and leave a shit behind? Pig

Helllllooooooo · 02/02/2018 19:03

No way would I stick my hand in a public toilet to clean my crap off it! All the germs off other people’s crap would put me right off. Also there is then the journey from the loo to the basin, touching the door, locking it etc.
So if people did that, they would leave germs on the lock. Then if I come in after, lock the door, pull out an old tampon and put a new one in with the shit germs from someone else on my hand... I’ve basically got someone else shit in my fanny.

Yuk

I had to take my 4 year old to the toilet in Aldi at 10am the other day. It was rank, had definitely not been cleaned the night before (or possibly the whole week before!)
There wasn't any toilet paper or hand soap which is inexcusable in a shop full of products. I complained to the manager.

TheCrossKeys · 02/02/2018 19:18

I used to work in a nightclub and every Friday night, for months on end, when tidying up we would find hidden somewhere in the club a pint glass containing shit and piss. It was never hidden in the same place but we knew it was there somewhere and obviously couldn't be left so we had to hunt until it was found, like the world's most disgusting treasure hunt. We checked CCTV, increased glass collections, banned glasses from the toilets, and so on and the shit-glass still appeared every Friday night.

I briefly worked in a hotel in my early 20s when I needed some extra cash for Christmas and that was fucking grim. Used condoms left in the bed or on the floor or thrown and left where they landed. Shit in the bath. Shit on the bath towels. There was a long term resident, his company was putting him up in a suite while he was doing work in the area, and he kept pissing in the wardrobe. He was eventually asked to take his custom elsewhere. Sick in the lifts, sick under beds, sick sprayed up the inside of closed bedroom windows. Blood. Period blood on floors, on bath towels, used sanitary towels stuffed down the back of radiators or left floating in the loo. I always refused to clean up sick and blood. I'd be given a list of rooms to clean at the start of my shift, some would have notes added such as 'RS' which mean the guest had ordered room service the night before so you'd know that there might be trays or bottles or whatever to send back to the kitchens. One morning I walked into a room tagged on my list as 'RS' and found that the guest had indeed ordered room service. He'd ordered three dozen bottles of Coke, the single serving glass bottle ones, and when those bottles were empty he had refilled each and every one with piss. He had then placed them all over the room. They were on every surface, balanced on top of the TV, lined up along the headboard, balanced on the curtain rail. I radio'd for the head housekeeper and she came up to see, she looked at the room and then went to go into the bathroom presumably to see what damage he'd done in there, when she pushed the bathroom door open three piss bottles that had been balanced on top of the door fell off and shattered so then there was glass everywhere as well as piss. While cleaning it up we also found that he'd pissed in the kettle, pissed in both coffee cups, emptied out the little plastic UHT milk cartons and pissed in those, emptied the complimentary shampoo and shower gel and pissed in the empty bottles and, because he hadn't done enough already, he'd also pissed in the bit of steam iron where the water goes.

People are fucking animals.

Christmastits · 02/02/2018 19:28

@TheCrossKeys how can someone piss so much?

Crispyturtle · 02/02/2018 19:29

I used to work in a police bar, and every copper I met would say something along the lines of ‘you wouldn’t believe the way some people live’ with an ashen look on their faces. People are absolutely disgusting.

I now work in a hospital, & am always surprised how many people leave their litter scattered around their beds when they’re discharged, considering there’s a bin in every room / bay. I stripped the bed when I was discharged Grin

TheCrossKeys · 02/02/2018 19:31

We think he had help, he must have had help. There were around three or four of them in seperate rooms but booked under the same room. We guessed it was a group effort but still boggles the mind as to why? What possible point is there to leaving piss everywhere?

TheCrossKeys · 02/02/2018 19:32

Booked under same room = booked under same name

SwanVests · 02/02/2018 19:35

In my old office there were two toilets which were generally accepted to be ladies upstairs, gents downstairs. Everyone abided by this unwritten rule apart from the owner of the company. Every morning he would come in, get his print out of yesterday’s trading and fucking destroy the ladies toilet. It was awful. We tried putting febreeze cans, toilet brushes, bleach etc in there to stop him leaving inch deep shit on every inch of the bowl. We even left the cleaning bits on the toilet seat one morning. He just moved them back and did whatever the hell he did. One morning we had a temp in, she went to the loo before we had chance to warn her and her contact lenses fell out 😂😂😂

Caenea · 02/02/2018 19:49

At my old job (in a banking office), someone kept shitting in the shower in the gents loo.

The cleaners went on strike and refused to clean the gents after the third time of finding it and a witch hunt ensued to find the mystery shitter.

It remains the greatest disappointment of my life that I was on annual leave the day they found the individual who'd been doing it and he was sacked for "unprofessional conduct" in the middle of the open plan office.

mslevine86 · 02/02/2018 20:00

Why are people so disgusting?!
I remember walking into one of the cubicles in the ladies at my old work and there was a perfect curl (think poo emoji) on the back of the lol seat. How do you not notice it when u turn to flush? Sent an email out to all the ladies in the office saying it was like Glastonbury, one of the women in the office took one for the team and cleaned it up as it wasn't fair on the cleaner.
In my current work there is someone who has a poo every morning and doesn't flush it properly so there's always a small poo sat in the bottom of the loo. I was told if staff aren't happy in their job it's one of the first things to be noticed - complete lack of hygiene.

Ikanon · 02/02/2018 20:02

When pregnant I was faced with this in a hospital and cleaned it up myself out of desperation. Disgraceful.

rockduck · 02/02/2018 20:02

I worked in a nightclubs years ago. It had many different rooms. And about 7 different sets of women’s/men’s toilets. One particular set of men’s only had urinals. And after closing one night I went in to clean and there was a huge shit on the floor. These toilets had NO cubicles, so the dirty fucker shat on the floor in front of others?!?! Still can’t my head round that one

loubeylou68smellsofreindeerpoo · 02/02/2018 20:06

I used to work in Burger King may years ago and cleaning the loos at the end of the day was one of my jobs. The men's loo was vile, burger wrappers blocking the urinals, shit piss and puke plus half eaten food everywhere. The ladies weren't as bad but one day I had a lady I knew come in pleading with me to let her tweenage daughters use the loos after they had been cleaned and locked. Allowed them to saying please leave it clean, when I checked after the little gits had shit on the floor Angry

ManicUnicorn · 02/02/2018 20:31

I almost started a thread on this very subject a few weeks ago after going into a toilet and find the pan smeared in shit stains whilst out Christmas shopping. It's so grim, and seems to be a running theme in public toilets. Ive been known to flush the toilet several times when I go, and clean the pan and seat if needs be. No way would I expect some other poor sod to clean up my piss and shit!

It's the cleaners I feel sorry for.

chocorabbit · 02/02/2018 22:13

I have never seen a toilet brush in public toilets.
