How are the toilets in your work ?

Well that’s it the management have closed the building and looks like we will all be out of jobs. They were struggling for a while and the dirty protest toppled them over the edge.

Ah

Hope your going to be ok.

What a nightmare before Christmas

Work in the financial industry for a household name insurance company. Our current problem is a phantom pisser who is spraying his urine all over the floor. Throughout the day it turns stale and stinks out the toilet cubicle. Last week someone shat on top of a blockage in the toilet. The turd was immaculately placed on top and of course down the side of the pan too

About 4 or 5 years ago in a rail industry related office in central London there was a 6 month period where every couple of weeks someone would crap in a mug and leave it somewhere in the office.
As far as I’m aware they never found the culprit and it just stopped.
Also, when I first started in the industry in 2002, on HS1, someone laid what was apparently the worlds biggest cable in a portaloo, before the days of camera phones, people were coming from up and down the line to marvel at it for a couple of days before management found out and it was disposed of.

A few years ago, when I was contracting, I was having a light hearted discussion about hourly rates, and he said "If you aren't being paid for a 10 pound st, your hourly rate is too low"

I’ve got two stories.

One I was working for a water company down south, someone had taken to having a poo in the bin. The solution was to remove the bin which did amazingly seem to work. We never did find out who it was.

The second was working for an electricity company in their office. They had a lovely brand new office, but it was really poor quality. Quite often the urinals would block and the only way to solve it was to literally take the tiles off the wall and rip the pipes out. The main issue was a “6 foot long poo battleship” which was stuck in the pipes under the building. Every day the toilets would get fuller and fuller until they were all at the brim by the end of the day. Then by the morning it had subsided to normal levels…

Ah yes, everyone loves to be paid "time and a turd".

Last place - one of the Banks in CW

Toilets were a disgrace, almost always blocked, sometimes would have a 15 minute walk around the (huge) buiidng trying to find one.
It got to the point were you needed a Jason Bourne type recall to know all the routes, fire exits, staircases etc!

The toilets outside the trading floor smelt of sewage, no idea how the MDs (or anyone) tolerated it, but the company culture was dreadful.

Placed before (City, asset manager) - immaculate toilets, plentiful in number and more space. Company had a "nice" culture

What is the cliche - you can tell the class of the hotel by the toilets?

Pretty clean where I work, but annoyingly I do sometimes have to clean it myself, because the cleaner is pretty dreadful about staying on top of it during the working day.

I have complained to her about it of course, but she just muttered something about being unreasonable given that I work at home but she still has to go to the office!

Haha!
Yes. My chief of Domestic operations gets funny about stuff like that, too. She doesn't have to go to an office or work F/T though.
I do work from home.

My sister's other half works for Evei. When he goes to the depot, they purposely pee and crap on the floor. There's a lots of Eastern Europeans who work there so there's also pictures showing how to use the toilets correctly. Not squatting on the rim for example.

Squatting on the rim is normally South Asian people in my experience (running building sites with labour from all over the place). It tends to break the toilet seats so becomes an issue.

Unless you're a Reform Party nutter, in which case none of those pesky foreign johnnies know how to use a toilet, and you've probably got some pretty strong doubts about the Scots!

Reading between the lines, yes

As a lorry driver my works toilet can often be a lorry wheel or jump over a field gate if out in the country , if not it’s normally motorway srvs / customer toilets , I feel sorry for the cleaners , there’s some horrendous sights , the other week a soiled pair of pants just left on floor on cubicle , no excuse for not disposing of it in bin .
My pet hate is toilet paper placed all over the seat then just left .
I once went to use a shower at memory services to find some animal had st all over the floor and just left it , felt so sorry for the young lass who had to clean it up .
And don’t get me started on lorry drivers chucking bottles of piss in every lay-by they night out in

Seen those pictures , we were banned from using toilets at a calsberg site after someone apparently st in the cistern
It’s hard to believe but after driving for 40 yrs I’ve seen it all , and where drivers are concerned I wouldn’t doubt it
We’ve just had signs just go up asking drivers to lock the doors on the disabled toilet as apparently some office girls have walked in on drivers having a st , it beggars belief they need telling to lock a toilet door , it’s 2 nd nature I’d of thought , but for some obviously not

I've just started working on a motorway project and it amazes me how many bottles full of piss are on the verges.
Must piss in the bottle then open passenger window and just throw it out.

I work in both gendered toilets as part of my job and have seen it all , but still this thread has absolutely made me laugh out loud!

One of the worst I saw was a women's toilet where the seat was smashed in, st up the wall behind and sanitary products stuck to the side of the cubicle. This is in a food preparation factory......

I generally either work from home or visit clients. The bathroom at home is kept spotless and when I visit clients they generally have visitor toilets which tend to be kept clean.

I have been through a lot of airports through work, I've seen some absolute states. The business lounge in Dublin Airport that I went visited recently, had a toilet where it looked like someone had tipped a job lot of curry down the pan. It didn't smell like curry. The dirty git didn't appear to have bothered to flush, or wipe by the looks of it. A trim thought, you have to sit next to these people on the plane.

Glasgow Airport. The toilets that are basically down that cylindrical stair case. Cubicle on the left. It's ALWAYS st up badly like someone fired out one up the back of the toilet.

I am about to take over running a factory, I have seen the toilets for the office staff, need to pluck up the courage to see the ones for the factory floor……
