I work for a property management company. That should have read, "I baby-sit school children all day." This e-mail to my boss stems from a problem that comes up quite regularly, but not quite to this magnitude. Names have been changed to protect the innocent. Happy reading:
Boss Lady,
So, this has been a recurring problem. It's been an issue before but it's just reared its ugly head in the past couple of weeks. I received a call this morning about this issue and received an e-mail just a little bit later so I decided to go check it out. Usually when they call it's that there are used paper towels or coffee pot stains on the counter. This time there is poop on the floor. Little baby turds. There is one on the floor and one hanging on the outside of the toilet rim. Clearly a feat like that is intentional because you can't just miss and have it miraculously stick to the side of the rim. They had to have used their hands. (I can't believe I'm typing this e-mail.)
Anyway, I had maintenance clean it up so it's fine now, but apparently there are boogers on the back of a couple of the stall doors in the men's restroom. A lady from that floor called almost immediately when I walked back in the door as I got back from looking as this mess to tell me about the men's room and make a suggestion. She suggested that we put locks on all the restroom doors that could only be accessed by tenants on that floor. I suggested she stop smoking by the front door! :) I didn't say that, I just wanted to. (She has a bad habit of smoking by the front door of the building.)
Anyway, I told her that I would talk to you about it, but that ultimately it would be something that is charged back to the tenants and it may be hard to justify that to the other tenants in the building if it were building-wide. That may be something that would work for just their floor though, since there are only 2 tenants on that floor.
Moral of the story: We can't lock the bathroom doors AND you should poop in the toilet, not on or around the toilet!

I don't usually speak in abbreviations but OMG. Who would stick their poop to the side of the toilet?! That's so very wrong.
I have quite a few acquaintances who work in retail, and, sadly, this sort of thing wouldn't surprise them one bit. People are disgusting.
You could totally have that particular poo placement by random chance. You wouldn't have to actually use your hands if you got a little lucky.
The one gas station restroom I went in one time is another story. It was one of those one-toilet types and every inch of wall and floor was smeared with crap. That took work. I think I managed back out before stepping in it, but just barely. The sucky part was that I really had to go to the bathroom and it was one of the stretches of the Interstate where the next stop was like 20 miles away.
Oh, and the last panel on that image is hilarious.
Cripes.
Ugh.
ajajaja that picture is soo funny, all the instruction to use in the chair in the correct way, the most funny is the one in where the figure looks like as it is in the toilet.
