bog at work is spotless as there only a coupleof us get the key, drivers use a portaloo in the car park that is rancid.
The worst toilet sight was at the rezerection at ingliston, a lot of women were coming into the gents because they didn't want to queue, and one bird just squatted right there in the middle of the floor then fked off, no wiping, nothing, just a big festering log stinking out the whole powder room. The hunt still continues for the phantom stter on the facebook group.

there is someone in our office who will always flush the toilet before and then after using the toilet. Weird
That's also an anti-stench manoeuvre - as soon as it hits the water, flush it away and then relax during the rest of your toilet visit without having a noxious cloud wafting around you. Also used by some people to disguise the initial exhaust tone before a deposit is made.

I do that, whenever I have to wash away the mess that the people before me have left. It's disgusting.

That smell of stale piss that you get if you don't? That's particles of their piss that you're breathing in. Not nice at all.
I hope you put the seat down first... https://www.self.com/story/toilet-plume-poop-spray

Ours always seems to be shared with builders doing work here. Every morning at about 730 one of them comes in and destroys it & stinks the place out beyond belief - they need to see a vet or something.

Today though, I came into work to see a bogey on the mirror in the toilets. Even if it was somehow accidental, I don't get how they haven't seen it and wiped it off. Dirty bds.

We have over 60 toilets in the building, all cleaned once per day. 95% of them are reasonable to use at any time - But there's one batch in particular which seem to be used by animals. No aim, no idea how to flush, and apparently adopt the European method of not flushing tissue (except as we don't have bins this just ends up on the floor).

It's a multi-tenanted building with shared WCs and unsurprisingly these ones are right next to the call centre...

The tap broke in one of the toilets. It was actually already broken but discovered yesterday

Email comes round reminding us of our responsibility to report such things so that they can be dealt with. Another email saying someone was in the staff room at lunchtime and heard a bang but put it down to someone dropping something in the staff room though could it have been the sound of the tap breaking? Boss emails saying the broken tap need not be reported but should have been picked up on routine toilet cleaning. Someone else emails saying they too were in the staffroom but didn't hear anything but they did have their headphones on.

It seems staff at the FCA would be quite at home in this thread (resurrection):

they've just been refurbed in the location where i spend most time, so that's OK. They are also kept reasonably clean. The issue is that they have installed these tiny tiny bogs with tiny tiny seats. You have to choose whether you want your cock touching the toilet bowl or your ahole fully on the seat. It's horrific.

We have a Dyson “blade” hand dryer right next door (uncomfortably close) to the single urinal in the corner.

If someone is using the urinal I will never use the dryer - instead preferring the “shake it off” method of drying my hands.

It pisses me off (literally) if I am at the urinal and someone washes their hands and then stands right next to me using the dryer, thus blowing urine around the room (and my trousers) with 300mph Dyson gusts.

The dryer is so close to the urinal that they will bump elbows with me as they move their hands around drying them. Awful room layout design.

hand driers are a stshow. My favourite one is in another office i use they have those Dyson V things but placed them weirdly high up so all it does is forcefully blow all the water up your sleeves.

I think that illustrates most plumbers and caretakers / handymen are thick as 2 short planks.

Also, why the fk can’t cleaners ever check the soap dispensers and refill. & on a related note why can’t they just bring back bars of soap instead that utter ste that’s meant to foam up but is transparently designed to minimise the amount you use, and hence storage and transportation costs etc.

Nice thought, but reading this thread I am pretty certain the bar of soap would have been rammed up someone's arse for a laugh and covered in pubes by the time I came to wash my hands with it. eek

All this strange poo behaviour must be a 'power' thing - people are trying to redress the balance in their lives. Sad really.

During vacation time, wonderful. Clean, being judgemental probably as being used by adults who are decent, probably home owners who clean their own bathrooms and lavatories.

During term time, absolutely foul hell holes within a short time of students being back.

Clearly during term time there is a greater population and throughput, to coin a phrase, but it's staggering how quickly things degenerate after the cleaners have finished leaving things shipshape. It makes you wonder how they carry on at home.

I started a similar subject recently called “Bathroom Bogies”. It was removed after 6 pages and some very entertaining stories. Good luck!
I worked for a big American software firm full of professionals, yet someone had decided to wipe a huge bogey just above the tissue dispenser. What kind of mentality would stop someone just grabbing a tissue and throwing it down the bowl?!

Thankfully the floor of the building where I work now is frequented by customers so the stter is normally immaculate

Mixed bag in our office. Numerous toilets with being a conversion of three adjoining Georgian houses. Generally okay, but over time have had the stink from hell / looks like someone threw a hand grenade in afterwards. Not pretty!

Did have an email circulated a few years ago suggesting we had a ‘pigeon in the loft’ due to the state one toilet bowl was left in. hurllaugh

Saw this picture on an urbex site recently which made me wonder what the hell had gone on!
