In middle school we had a kid that routinely smeared shit over the entirety of the stall he used; i totally understand them for putting up that sign
You have never cleaned bathrooms if you wonder about the source of this sign.
I worked at a grocery store growing up. One time I had to throw away my shoes when I got home.
You have never worked in a public building if you wonder about the source of this sign.
I cleaned them for 2 years in the mids 80s. (Restaurant across from a mall in a big city) I never saw shit outside of the bowl.
Women’s was always way
betterworse than the men’s.Women’s was always way better worse than the men’s.
Is it because they hover instead of sitting or is it because every trip is a sit down trip?
Sorry. Typo. Women’s was worse than men’s.
As a kid I had no clue. As an adult still have no clue.
sorry
just another friday
My friend works at a fast food place. You wouldn’t believe some of the stuff they’ve had to deal with. People are disgusting.
You’ve never worked retail, have you?
Retail. The horror stories my better half tells will make your skin crawl.
The problem is the sort of person this applies to will respond:
“That sign won’t stop me because I can’t read!”
“I’m picto dyslexic.”
Are you aware of the legendary Ryan’s Steakhouse story?
Hell, that thing might be an urban legend, but it’s supremely well written and if I was in graphic design, that story alone would probably lead me to thinking that selling signs like this would be a good idea.
If you haven’t heard it, a web search for “The Steakhouse incident” (with quotes) or “macaroni beef toilet story” (no quotes) will probably turn up yet another re-hosting of it.
For the lazy, here’s one I found just now: http://www.ihos.com/steakhouse.html
I haven’t seen this since the late 90s / early 00s!!! Thanks for this!
Manager: This looks like a job for THE HOSE
Lmao
Well I guess reading that is now a permanent memory for me.
I was laughing so hard reading this that I had to read it to my wife and we both have been laughing historically at it
Now I want some big fat yeast rolls. Nobody else does them quite right.
Yep, that’s my takeaway from that.
Oh, also the JATO Guy story.
Truly a shitpost.
In my experience, the “NO” figure should be bent over a bit more in order to project onto the wall behind the toilet as well as the ceiling above. No better memory of working retail than going up to my boss and explaining why I needed to know where the spare ceiling tiles were.
Reminder to anyone still working retail: if your job description isn’t “janitor”, you don’t need to clean that up. It’s a biohazard and they can pay more expensive people with better equipment to do it.
Reminder to you that bosses can and will ask you to do things that are not your job. And since you need money for rent and food, you will have to do it. Otherwise, they will probably get rid of you, and will find a plausible legal reason.
No, you will not “have to do it”. Either they can afford to pay a qualified person to do it, or they can’t. If they can’t afford a more expensive person, they definitely can’t afford to fire you. You are the cheap one.
Think about it: if they put themselves in this situation, they are going to end up cleaning it themselves. “Need money for rent and food”? If you have a crappy minimum wage job, you have the power. Literally no one above you wants to do your work. You can definitely tell them “no”. Do you think there’s some shortage of crappy minimum wage jobs?
This is my only memory of South Park since I was a kid.
I wish I didn’t remember it as well as I do.
Jesus that’s realistic
It’s the DivX logo in the corner that gets me.
I had to double check which year it’s today.
The episode’s from 2006, so it makes sense.
That would make this an ~18 year old artifact.
I was in a large open plan office a decade ago with a density clearly higher than the 3 cubicles in the toilet facilities could handle. Somebody with little regard for basic human decency, murdered the shit fairy and their family in two of the 3 cubicles. Words cannot describe the scene that greeted a prospective cubicle user. Imagine 300kg black forest gateaux with pieces of corn distributed throughout being put through a wood chipper. It was quite frankly both terrifyingly grotesque and strangely skillful. I called property services who to their credit promptly sent up somebody to investigate. I saw them enter, loudly say “Fuck their mother in the arse!” and leave dry heaving into their cleaning cart. Photos were taken and emailed around to all male employees stating that the “…rancid fecal matter will be genetically tested to determine age, race and dietary preference of the individual involved!!!” Total bullshit of course, funny as hell though. We had our suspects but nobody fess’d up. I faked having a colostomy bag after that just so I could use the ambulant toilets. But that’s a story for another time.
If you work in any job where you have to clean restrooms you know
If you just go to a public restroom you know.
Women or teenagers.
The two most probable causes.
Edit: Some of y’all have never cleaned a women’s bathroom and it shows.
Stoopid sexy wamen!
See this ain’t even a sexism thing. Women’s public bathrooms are fuckin vile compared to most men’s bathrooms.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply you were sexist. I’m just memeing under the influence. I’ve had a few alcoholic wines.
And I’m about to have a few more. Cheers! 🥂
No problems friend. I just wanted to clarify my statement wasn’t based on that.
Enjoy your day 👍
I’ve never seen the aftermath of a shotgun spray, but I have seen a giant oatmeal loaf on the seat before. It’s part of why my old job stopped letting truck drivers use our bathrooms.
