to not understand how toilets get in to the state they do?

[LottaLottie]

I work in a pretty nice office, with pretty nice, normal people...

SOMEONE keeps getting shit on the toilet seat and it's doing my head in!

Is this common? I mean, how is it even possibly shit on a toilet seat, I don't understand... someone had smeared blood on the wall the other day. It's just vile.

Does anyone else's workplace have such vile toilets or is it just me who works with a load of dirty bastards?

Me too.

Would never ever sit on any public toilet seat.

There was a similar thread on here a while back where many posters were outraged that the likes of you and I don’t and won’t park our arses on these seats.

Outrage, I tell you. It was snobbery in its finest form apparently.

Personally I couldn’t think of anything more disgusting.

Where I work the kitchen staff are the ones that leave shit in the toilet and piss all over the toilet seat! And what's worse, I've witnessed one of them not washing their hand after going back into the kitchen

This thread is making me feel very

What?!! Tika are you just making things up?

I also remember going to Lidl one day, and the toilet door was left open but there was a horrific stench of shit coming out! The tills were right next to it so everyone could smell it! It was horrendous! The toilet was in a state. I could see there was toilet tissue everywhere, sticking to the floor and the toilet like someone had wiped their arse and their hand went through it then decided to touch everything else with it

@Itchytights

Threads like these are the exact reason I hover! People are minging 😂

No... honestly. (I can imagine why, i have seen the loos in India with the kind of platform). Wasn’t meant to be an offensive post.
Nobody wants to be un-PC so nothing gets mentioned.

There was a phantom fanny dandruff person where I worked years ago. Always on the seat.

I think people don't look back after flushing to check the loo is clean and friendly for the next person.

@Tika77 A friend of mine also works with Asian colleagues and I have heard they stand on the seat to better squat over the toilet, it's a cultural thing I think (someone please correct me if I am wrong ) His work had to put up no squatting signs in the loos.

It's a really good question. I've wondered the same about my workplace. The ladies loo is exclusively used by about 12 known people, all of whom are outwardly normal.

So how did poo get on the wall??

KateMcD that's absolutely true!

We actually have a sign on the back of the cubicle doors in our office telling people to not stand on the seats. A number of other don'ts too - all aimed at our very large Asian contingent.

Tika. This happened in our offices too. For an office with a lot of Asian employees, perhaps an investment in squat toilets is needed

Our office has horrible unisex toilets, men and women are just as bad as each other for leaving smells, bodily fluids, excreta and hairs in the toilets (and on the walls).

When the suspended ceiling was getting replaced a few years ago, the workmen found used johnnies in the ceiling void

I've found bogies on the walls, tampons too. There's four cubicles per floor (in a building with 200 people) and a queue actually forms outside - I never have time to go for a shit at work, probably it wouldn't occur to me to do so either, but it seems for plenty of my colleagues this is a normal occurrence.

This has happened in every office I've worked in. Poo smeared on the seats, unflushed poo left stewing in the bowl, used tampons and pads strewn on the floor etc

One year when the colleague engagement survey results were published, someone had complained that the bogies on the wall in the gents had just been painted over instead of being cleaned off 🤮

Strawberrisc I have also always wondered this!! I have even considered that maybe there is something that everyone else is doing that I have never been told about. I just wee, wipe and leave. What else is there to do in there!!?

Just how do these Shitesters get through the day! Mucky buggers, the lot of them

Ha ha @NoneOfYourShenanigans. I would truly love to know! It’s actually embarrassing to be in a big queue, go in, wee and wipe then come out to find the person who was directly behind you is still next in the queue!

Its because of hoverers - the shit catches the back or the wee the front. And hoverers wont touch anything so wont clean it up.

I used to be baffled by loos full of loo roll too, that easily blocked. I assumed vandalism but no idea why... until more recent mumsnet threads explained some people dont like to hear thwir poo plop so would rather put loo roll down first... and risk blocking the loo for aomeone else to sort!?

The general public are disgusting. Fuck knows what these individuals are thinking on their nights out.

Oh aren't they just, the worst invention ever is unisex toilets - basically an invitation to have a shag (and yes, people go in openly together) and leave used condoms on the side, if they bother to use one, scrubbing spunk off a wall is not the most fun part of my job! Vomit, pee and poo seem fairly tame after that!

Because fucking idiots have to hover.

Yes. If you're not grown up enough to use a toilet properly, wear adult nappies so normal people don't have to deal with your disgusting habit.

I worked at a 'posh law firm, about 60 people in the office. The ladies loos were disgusting - used sanitary towels and tampons strewn over the floor, poo on the seats and smeared on the walls, wee on the seats courtesy of the sprinklers...utterly vile.
I often went to a different floor to use the loo. The Office Manager often sent out group emails to all the female staff regarding the condition of the loos. The cleaner often complained about having to clean up such mess, and often said the gents loos were clean and never as sickening as the ladies!
Perhaps if the staff are unhappy they don't care and therefore make the loos dirty as some sort of protest! The next company I went to was great, staff were very happy and the loos were always immaculate!

If you hover, then any kind of "explosive" situation is going to spray over the seat/walls, whereas if you'd sat down lower it could only have made a mess of the toilet bowl - and could have easily been put right with the flush and possibly the loo brush.

I have also seen these signs when travelling in India and in fact seen boot prints on the toilet seat.

In areas where people are used to squatting the idea of sitting down is considered to be very unhygienic.

But where British/western toilets are the normal, and a toilet brush or similar is provided, there is no excuse for leaving the toilet in a state.

It’s the same as people who steal food from work fridges isn’t it? Especially those that actually eat people’s home made food in Tupperware. I spend so long just looking round the floor at work thinking “WHICH one of you normal seeming people does that???”.
I bet that person is the same person that leaves shit on the toilet.
