How are the toilets in your work ?

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 s
tter is normally immaculateThe bogs in my last office were awful. No heating so freezing in winter. The traps weren't big enough so you had to climb on the pot to get in and out. The urinals used to regularly block, no idea how, so they would flush when you were using them and start to overflow. Facilities had the great idea of turning the flush off, so then they stank of piss. Disgusting fkers would stand at the urinals picking their nose and wipe it on the pipes in front of them.
This was in an office of professional office workers. Someone once shat themselves and then tried to flush their undergarments, which of course blocked the toilet.
I heard the ladies was even worse, used sanitary towels on the floor etc.
My new office is much nicer. Cleaned every hour.

i used to work at a well known and well loved manchester 'institution' brand... they have a shoddy 60s tower block, which i think they have now exited, but it's a listed building so fk knows what will happen with it. It was like a space ship when it was built though, I am sure, and used to be fairly luxurious... this all when manchester used to be proper horse and cart territory, particularly around there with smithfield market and so on.... anyway... the whole building had been left to delapidation for years... decades. They were spending the minimal on it. It even still had all the old pneumatic comms system in place because it was cheaper to not remove it. The toilets were not amazingly plush and fairly run down, but at least you got a good flush and a decent sized stting space. However everyone (apart from newbies) knows not to go in trap 2. Trap 2 on every floor (23 floors) had a hole in the ceiling directly above the bog. This was for leaks. I am not sure who designed it that way, but it's just a horrible horrible idea. If anyone had an issue in floor above you, you would get wet with fk knows what if you were sat on that toilet. Everyone has story of how they learned about it. I once got a single drip. A drip which chilled me to the bone. Never used trap 2.

My work has 3 cubicles which get cleaned 6 times a day. Despite this they still get in a terrible state. When I went in yesterday the first cubicle had wee all over the floor, the second one had a poo which was left floating in the pan with a big skidmark and a small piece on the actual toilet seat. The third one had a poo on the floor (yes it really did).
It just got me thinking what condition must the toilets be in in other work places.
Maybe the cleaners think the 'Please leave the facilities as you found them' applies to them? It just got me thinking what condition must the toilets be in in other work places.
Been lurking on the forums for a while now but just created an account now so I could say some of the descriptions here are the funniest things I’ve read in ages, was sat at my desk this afternoon reading through these giggling away like a lunatic! Some very funny stuff....thanks for brightening up an otherwise quiet Friday afternoon
"Piss Crystals!" - said the bloke with a spanner and piece of pipe in his hand in my toilets today. Apparently (and this may be a massive wind-up) urine forms crystals in the pipework that eventually build up so they block the flow. He was holding a piece of pipe when he said this but I declined to have a look. I have a new password now.
3 urinals and 7 cubicles between 3 toilets at my work. Overall not too bad, I don't know how some people think it's acceptable to leave the mess behind that they do. We used to have a very large Chinese man working for us who's visits to the toilet had to have a 40 minute window before daring to enter after. I don't know what his diet was but I have never smelt anything like it. If you already happened to be dropping your kids off as he comes in, it was a case of finishing up and escaping before he had time to take to take his seat otherwise you'd be gagging within seconds.
My most frequented toilet has 3 cubicles in a row, IMO same rules apply as urinals, go at the end and if there's someone else leave a gap, some people in our office must be lonely as they insist on using the middle cubicle so we can be poo partners?!.
Lastly, spitting. I'm in Oz and it is customary for blokes to come in the the toilets and gob up all they can whilst taking a pods. Is this a normal thing? I don't remember this in the UK, find it disgusting...

What a strange topic !
But, we have hundreds, spread all over site. Ranging from freshly refurbished ones in the management suite, to ones in forgotten parts of the plant, untouched since the 80's (and uncleaned too !)
The main ones are cleaned regularly but the one in the emergency bunker are a bit 'stained' to say the least.
We have our own sewage treatment too. Had to do safety documents on the mutrators and the bio-discs in the past, but never the actual maintenance work, The subterranean room where all the effluent flows in from site is something to behold!

As somone who works in an office the toilets in my last few places have been ok.... All time best was when we spent a summer renting some offices in a manor house as work couldn't be completed on site. A few loos hidden away and a lovely place to go with full 3g connection (was a while ago).
But there are then those on the shop floor and
they're bad.
Currently working with a supplier which most afternoon certain loos get blocked...... Wtf an international business and their loos blocking are as regular as the buses that pass outside...

Spotless, the toilet paper is folded into triangles at the end and the staff call "house keeping" before entering.
The only downside is that the lights go off if no movement is detected for 15 minutes and there are no sensors in the cubicles.
Not sure you're meant to be have your lunch in there?The only downside is that the lights go off if no movement is detected for 15 minutes and there are no sensors in the cubicles.
In my last job I suffered a broken ankle due to one of my colleagues doing his business on the floor. I slipped on it and went up in the air and broke my ankle. I had the poo all up my upper leg and back. I have never felt so dirty in all my life and was violently sick when it happened.
After a couple of weeks my colleague did it again but got caught from a visitor. They lost their job on the spot and I proceeded to seek legal advice to sue them. This did not work and now the individual is a manager at a rival company.

Which industry do you work in?
Captainfred said:
At the time I worked in the retail industry. Not my ideal job but was a stop gap. This incident really impacted me financially.
I'll be honest, I am absolutely fascinated by how horrendous that is.The person that did it. Do you have any idea why they were deliberately crapping on the floor? Did they ever say anything about it when caught?
Currently getting on my nerves: stupid cleaners that keep putting the caution wet floor sign up EVERY fkING DAY in front of the sinks / hand drier so it’s in the way. You useless bds - no it will not absolve you of responsibility if someone slips and breaks their neck. I’m on the verge of chucking it out the window.
Secondly, the floor area under the urinal is constantly wet (yes the thick cleaners should put the sign over there if they are so desperate to use it) because something leaks. It’s been doing it for at least 2 & 1/2 years and the lazy bd maintenance crew don’t do fk all to fix it. So gradually the building gets ruined I suppose.
Thirdly I’m lucky as I have an office nearby so use my own soap (see previous complaint about cheaparse foam that does fk all), unlike all the other poor buggers

They had a grudge against the company and wanted to make the cleaners life a misery. When they got caught they apologised profusely and then broke down when they were sacked. The person is now high flying in a rival retailer so I am assuming he is over the stage of doing the toilet on the floor. The person that did it.

In my own businesses I don't recall serious issues in the toilets, even those used by the many Indians I employed who weren't familiar with Western style toilets.
Having read this thread though if I had a business again I would definitely add a further round to the interview process whereby someone would have to witness the applicant taking a no1 and no2 and mark them for aim/timeliness/amount of paper used/stench/noises emitted etc and passing that would be a go / no-go test for their employment. If videoed then this test could also be a revenue earner in a spin off business turds4pervs.com or something.
