AIBU to expect grown women to clean up after themselves?!

Ok, first post so be gentle!!!

Am I being completely unreasonable in wanting my fellow females to clear up wee-drips on the toilet seats?! I don't even understand how they can do that (unless they are squatting) - and even then they should clean up after themselves! And don't get me started on skidmarks ....... yes, in the ladies.....

I work for a blue chip company, yet we seem to only employ woman who cannot even do the basics with regards to toilet hygiene.

My mate's a cleaner and has had to clear tampons left on the floor - when there is a sanitary disposal unit near the loo. Cleaned up blood and faeces smeared on cubicule wall - someone making a dirty protest!! Toilet seat with a missed dunk shot of pooh.

Actually I just remembered (why I'm still thinking about it I don't know) but the perfect turd find wasn't my worst experience.

My worst was as a teenager when I was waiting for the loo at one of those public places they used to have on high streets (all metal loos and waxy bog roll.) A woman (well dressed and middle aged) came in, saw there was no stall free, walked to the back of the room, dropped her trousers and pissed on the floor.

Then, when she was done, she washed her hands REALLY thoroughly and walked out with a big smile.

This is was the word agog was invented for.

Bloody hell!!!!! notquitenormal.
See! no pride! even the ones that are well dressed!

AuntieMaggie · 18/02/2010 16:53

Yep they're pretty bad where I work too - I mean how do you get blood all over the back of the door???

springlamb · 18/02/2010 17:36

I always look askew at a woman who leaves the cubicle before the flush is complete. This means she is not a 'checker'. She hasn't checked for splashes or smears or floaters.
She has also not checked that her skirt isn't stuck into the back of her knickers, though she probably deserves it.
I also have a particular dislike for women who take toddlers into the cubicle with them and then allow said toddlers to crouch down and peek under the wall at me sat on the loo. This happened to me yesterday and I was sorely tempted to stamp on its little face.

monkeybum - no, YANBU. I think public toilet seats are vile. But yellow splashes are nothing - sometimes I've seen brown stains on them. God only knows why you'd poo standing up - why not just lay some loo roll on the seat and sit?

Once you get into the habit of inspecting before parking your bum on the porcelain you realise just how rank other people can be. I never sit on a public loo seat without cleaning it first (I always carry wipes/ antibac gel for this purpose).

Pineapplechunks · 18/02/2010 17:55

YANBU, it is not difficult to check and wipe if necessary.

When DP goes outside, at work, to have a a fag he chats with people from other departments and told us the other day that he was talking to one of the cleaners who told him that on more than one occasion there has been a poo in the bin of one of the ladies shower rooms. The really revolting part of it is that there is a loo in the shower too so she is doing it on purpose! What a rotten bitch.

agherereh yukky yuk yuk YANBU. It reminds me of the thread a while back where a posters friend left a shitty loo for her to clean.

pigletmania · 18/02/2010 18:04

Eh springlamb where else are we supposed to leave toddlers if we need a wee then on our own out in public

elliedodger · 18/02/2010 18:10

What really annoys me is when you enter a cubicle and find that someone has produced an ungodly smell which still hasn't cleared by the time you've finished. So the next person to go in assumes it's you who made the smell. This is particularly bad if it's a workplace toilet and the next person to go in is someone you know.

pigletmania · 18/02/2010 18:12

he he he he ellidoger smurky smurk smurk

I will carry a portable air freshner

solo · 18/02/2010 18:31

Ellie, if there is someone going in as I come out, I always say to them 'that wasn't me by the way.' well, it makes me feel better!

Pineapplechunks, she's not a rotten bitch, she's a filthy bitch which I think is worse.

jasper · 18/02/2010 20:21
