It seems like there's an email sent daily at this company that never fails to leave me saying, "You're kidding me."

This is what I received this morning, and I'm thankful to not be on the 19th floor.

Dear Ladies (and I use the term loosely) of the 19th Floor,

I have received several complaints from the cleaning service regarding toilet paper on the floor of the women’s bathroom on the 19th floor. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. If the conditions of this bathroom do not improve dramatically in the very near future, I will close the bathroom and you will need to go to the basement; as I am sure your presence will not be welcome in the 18th floor women’s bathroom. IF YOU THINK I AM JOKING, TRY ME. I HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF LETTING THIS BATHROOM DETERIORATE TO THE CONDITION OF THE LADIES BATHROOM IN 1370 BROADWAY.


Please tell me none of you deal with this garbage at work.

I think the RA of my sophomore dorm posted something like that on our bulletin board.

Someone took a dump on the steps of my sophomore dorm. I think my RA would have welcomed a toilet paper on the floor problem.

I made a poster With step by step directions on how to properly use the bathroom in my dorms, with pictures.

I never lived in a dorm, but I living at home with two teenage boys is worse.

Only good things will come of this thread, I'm sure.

I think ours was actually for vomiting in sinks.

Ours was we had a serial non flusher.

Who the fuck takes a dump and doesn't flush? WHO THE FUCK DOES THAT!?!

We also had an issue with nose pickers. People would actually pick their nose and then put it on the fucking wall. ANIMALS!!!

I'll tell you who takes dumps and doesn't flush. 17 year olds that think it's hilarious when their sister goes to use the toilet to find a present!

Did you live with just your brothers? Admittedly at 17 I would think that's kind of funny to do to my sisters too, and all it would've taken was one time for my parents to find out and, well, let's just say that "shit" never would've happened again.

Jesus, and here I was thinking how bad it was when fuckers turn off the fan when they leave a bomb in the room... Yikes.

Nope, it was me, 2 brothers and my parents. My poor mother is now the only female in a house full of men. She's already threatened to run away from home to come live with me.

We had worse. A note and email had to go out because someone was flushing used tampons in toilets. For all the non females, tampons clog up the toilet so that bloody mess and whatever else in the toilet floats around and goes on the floor. EVERYONE knows not to do that. Gross.

Well.....that note is idiotic, but i would send it out to be more.......polite in a sense of toilet paper on the floor. Why is it even on the floor anyway?

Now if it was an issue with the toilet seat.......well...... it would be serious.

First the Jews are controlling what you eat, now they control how you poop. I would respond via email with the comment "Where are we, Berlin in 1936?" I would probably also get my resume brushed up after I clicked "send."

This is just more religious imposition. It dates back to the time of Moses, when God sent the Angel of Death upon the Children of Israel to make sure that their outhouses were of suitable order.

Edit: I'd report this to the media and see if you can get a Hollywood movie done about this.

Sad to say women seem to be nastier by far when it comes to this stuff. Everywhere I worked we always got more emails about their bathrooms than the mens'. One day I was in there and there was just this big blood spot on the floor. Blech

LET MY PEOPLE GO!

Yeah, my floormates in the freshman dorm had a problem with flushing their turds. I decided to leave a page-long eloquent note in all of the stalls outlining the reasons why one should flush their poo. It was received pretty well, I think.

In the Beta house we had a problem of girls flushing their tampons down the toilet. In a house with already terrible plumbing, that certainly didn't help. One of our guys (our president at the time, at that) left a note saying that we wanted nothing to do with their menstrual cycles and to not flush their feminine hygiene products down our toilets. He was told by the more rational section of the chapter to take the notes down. I thought they were funny.

At work now, I don't run into too many problems. Except the one time I walked into the open stall to find the employee with Down syndrome taking a dump while talking on the phone. One of the more awkward moments I've ever had at work. Totally killed the buzz of the giant log I was about to unleash on that industrial-strength porcelain throne.

Or in Stewie's case, LET MY PEOPLE FLOW!

I don't like this thread. I was enjoying my Cracker Jacks until I got here.

The women's room is always nastier than the men's. They just take it out, pee, and leave. Oh, they put it back in, too. Some women just don't care to pick up after themselves. Toilet paper on the floor, in addition to other things, etc. An email got sent out in our old building about women missing the toilet bowl and leaving a mess on the floor beside it instead. Savages.

Heh..... i just had a funny image. Ree's office building's bathroom's floor is full of TP and the boss walks in, sighs, spreads his arms out and the TP is pushed to the sides of the bathroom.

So when are you going to tell us what the funny image is?

After work at my previous job, people would wash their hands and faces using soapy gauze. When finished, they would leave the gauze and paper towels used to dry themselves on the counter tops and in the sinks... instead of in the garbage cans that were within arms reach of the sinks.

Her boss is the Moses of the TP Sea, apparently.

He's about as old so that's partly accurate.

Someone's picky and lacks imagination. Have you ever heard of the song... Imagination?

Post Warning: Disgusting

Those my friend...were snot rockets. Above the Supermarket urinals in stores I worked were spattered with bloody ones in the 80's due to overnight workers coke habits and general disregard for the entire world.

And no one ever cleaned it. For months.

A few years ago at MSG after a NYR game, someone had taken a royal dump right by one of the escalators. I think that is one of reasons they now post ushers by escalators after games.

Don't get me started about the women's rooms on the level of MSG where my friend has her season tickets in 316. It was so bad a few weeks ago that I held it and went in Penn Station. Which I never, ever do. That's how bad every stall was.

I don't remember ever going to the bathroom at MSG. I rarely do during games. I just refuse to use public bathrooms. Even in high school, i only went if i was just desperate and had to go. Dirty, nasty cigarette smell..... yuck.

I went a few times at the BAC down here though, not that bad........at least, for us guys.

So you're kind of like Shit Break from American Pie?

This is so true and I just don't understand it.

Haven't been to a game in about four years but, my seats were always in the 400s. I never had a problem using the bathrooms up there, even between periods or after the game. Probably due to the lack of lady traffic up there.

doesn't this put your shoes at risk? why would a woman do that? First, spatter factor then what if you fell over in your stunt-pee position? Yuck, yuck, a thousand times yuck!

We could tell they weren't snot rockets. Snot does not fly out of the nose in this form. The school regularly had flyers up in the stalls. Im not a forensic scientist or anything, but it was pretty clear that people were picking, placing, and smearing to get it off their finger. It was a pretty clear cut pattern that was too repetitive and clearly to engrained into the wall to be a snot rocket.

Now I'm picturing everyone in the office staring at the snot and analyzing it like the Zapruder film.

here, you see, he wipes back, and to the left...

You guys are pansies.

Bathroom etiquette in China. Think about that.



(Yes the translation is direct. The adjective for "civilized" is very widely used here)

These signs are in EVERY PUBLIC BATHROOM IN CHINA. Why? Because guys here piss about 5 feet from the urinal. The numbers of bathrooms in Beijing where the floors aren't soaked in urine are very few.

In addition, while squatters protect your butt cheeks from making contact with porcelain, they do result in dumps on the floor. I'd say well over 50% of bathrooms here have one stall that is strictly off limits because someone stumbled while pooping and just shat on the floor.

The 400s aren't the problem - every time I've sat in the 300s the bathrooms have grossed me out. Where I usually sit now? Pristine. No pee on the floor, on the seat, toilet paper not strewn all over the place.

I understand that some public restrooms have squatters without stalls? I'm a pretty progressive guy but I think I would have a hard time getting behind that.

Actually you'd have an easier time "getting behind that," Senator Craig.

whoa. For myself, a dude who hasta be in dire straits to use a urinal without a divider, there's no way in hell I'm dropping off the mail without a stall. F that.

Yeah, in the nicer public bathrooms you get stalls. In the middle of the road ones you get an individual squatter, but there are no dividers. In the worst ones it is just a slit in the ground. No running water either, so the dumps just sit there. A few times a day someone comes with a bucket of water and uses the bucket to get the poops to slide down to the end where they go through a hole.

I still double take every time I walk into one to take a pee, and there is a guy just casually taking a dump, reading the paper as if it is the most natural thing in the world.

The best public bathroom?

The woods. Pissing on a tree with nature. A squirrel is looking at you and he's like giving you thumps up saying "word...". That's the best.

You get this too? It's nice to be well-endowed, isn't it?

You guys should see some of the public/office restrooms in Japan. If you ever had to deuce you would quickly return to your hotel room. Lets just say that they don't have to put the paper on the seat.

Because you're squatting over what amounts to a hole in the floor.

You're pleased that - from a squirrel's perspective - you're well-endowed? Are you sure he's not just coveting your nuts?

What really rustles my jimmies is when some smartass thinks it is funny to drop the entire roll of toilet paper (cardboard and all) into the toilet bowl.
