I housekeep at a hospital so this is far from the worst thing I've found, but can anyone explain the need to...

No poo, no pee, no dead baby underneath. Just every papertowel pulled out of the dispenser and 89% of those going in the toilet. I truly believe there is a fetish that involves getting off while thinking about someone else cleaning up your messes. Good grief.

    Looks like someone was in there with a young child (or children)--and they didn't supervise their children.

    Hmmm...unable to supervise kids even though you are within three feet (or less) of them? Yay parenting skills.

    A shame it wasn't a hot stove.

    I work I'm a hospital and I honestly could never do what you do. The housekeepers in our ER are busting their butts on a daily basis. Kudos to you for having the patience and physical stamina to do it!!! Oh, and there really is no excuse for that bathroom!!!

    Haha, thanks. I loved it when I worked in the ER. So many interesting people, things, and messes going on at once. It is an assbusting job, but not too shabby really.

    I don't get it either, but I also don't think people understand proper bathroom etiquette.

    Otherwise, I would not have had the experience of sending an email titled "don't fling the monkey poo"

    Speaking of restroom etiquette... It's far from uncommon here in Thailand for Thai guys to check out your junk whilst at the urinal. And I don't mean the odd surreptitious and furtive glance either, more like actually physically move to a better vantage point and unabashedly stare. It can be quite disconcerting to say the least.

    It's also not uncommon for clubs/pubs etc to have bathroom attendants who give massages. The first time I experienced it - standing at the urinal, mid-flow - I got quite the shock. :happy:
    Just go into the women's restroom and gawk at their junk too. You're in Thailand afterall. :wink:

    I work in a public library. What normally goes on in there is horrible .
    Recently someone stole our tap, from our accessible washroom.
    I hear you, what part of public , for everyone, is not understood

    Well duh...obviously they thought it was a urinal, and thus was supposed to be dry at the bottom and were trying to help you out.

    LMAO ... I think I'd punch him/her if someone approaches me from behind and starts giving me a massage while I'm in there.... :laugh:

    In london one train station required a deposit or a payment (not sure which) to use the toilets. I think they had the right idea

    Some of the rest rooms here are starting to do the same

    Exactly, Thailand... Some of those 'woman' have more junk than me! :happy:
    I'll be the judge of that...

    As much as I would hate the idea if I was bursting when I was broke, it's not a bad one really.

    At our workplace we don't employ anyone in a specified cleaning capacity. All the women keep on top of making sure the ladies toilet is clean. And some of the men keep using it & crapping all over the can. Needless to say this has caused some friction.
