So I worked at a dental office, and in the middle of a filling, a patient jolted up and ran to the bathroom. She was in there for 20 minutes or so, and then walked out of the office.
When we checked the bathroom, there was shit everywhere - hand prints smeared on the wall, footprints on the floor, the entire surface area of the toilet. I don’t know what evils occurred in there, but she didn’t clean a thing.
But here’s the part that really stunned me. An hour later she returned and said she was ready to finish her filling, like nothing ever happened
I think of myself as a reasonable person. If I shat all over someone’s bathroom, I’d rather spend an hour cleaning it than leave a mess like that. But if for some reason I did leave that mess, I would never show my face at that office again. I would go to some new office and ask to fix my weird half filled tooth and never speak of it again.
You are missing the story … What happened when she came back?
We awkwardly completed her filling without speaking much. Just another shitty day in healthcare
Damn, I wonder if that person is legit schizophrenic or something like that
Huh, must have been the wind
Isn’t it so much fun when you’re in the middle of the city and just aren’t allowed to go to the bathroom at all?
Interesting article, and one I am sympathetic to, but the inclusion of “Western” (and democratic, to a lesser extent) alongside educated, industrialized, and rich when transitioning from talking about a “lack of sanitation” to “adequate sewage disposal” was kinda… jarring?
Other cultures may not have the same type of porcelain thrones we use, but I think the EIR parts still have effective plumbing, even without being WD. Or do they just not have any of the same issues and pressures around public toilets?

Went to use a restroom at a gas station last week it was closed and the dude said some homeless man went in there and spray painted all the walls and threw shit everywhere they even found piss inside of the soap dispenser
That’s dedication
people are disgusting. but it should be illegal to sell food and drink without providing toilets (which it is in certain countries).
Often these signs mean you can use it if you’re a customer. “Public” in those cases means rando off the street.
“Don’t forget the key.”
hands you a key chained to a 3 ton, triangular weight
Worked at a gas station. On my first day my supervisor gave me a folder with screenshots from the CCTV and told me to check it, before I give someone the key to the restroom. It was some kind of a black list with images of people who made such a mess that they checked the cams to see who it was and ban them eternally.
Once had to tell someone that they’re not allowed to use the restroom due to previous incidents. Felt like I dodged a very disgusting bullet…
I worked at a bunch of these places, usually the only person on site. It was near impossible for me to keep toilets clean while also keeping on top of everything else. It got pretty horrific in there at times.
Around here they all use keycodes, which I have been including in OSM for general use 😇
They will soon find out that without a restroom the experiences will be even worse
“taking the toilet won’t stop people from going to the bathroom”
I have altered the deal…
Pray I don’t alter it further.
Hi :3 I think the term as used in the poster more accurately means “no non-customer restroom”
Whatever happened, i know it involved shit, urine, blood, cum, vomit, abortion residue and used needles (worked in retail)
I worked in a late night pizzeria that served the post-bar crowd. The amount of shit-filled undies (men’s and women’s) we’d find throw in the corner was unreal. So remember that folks, there’s a reasonable chance whoever you’re flirting with at 130am isn’t wearing undies because they’ve already shat themselves.
I thought the diarrhea didn’t come until the hangover
When you start drinking at 16:30 you’re already past the first hangover at 01:30
They can’t control the fact that happy hour starts at 4:30. They can’t even control the fact that they have a drinking problem.
And that was all in the corner of the dressing room, not the bathroom.
It was probably the woman’s restroom too. (Food service)
Yeah, we had a problem like that in my food service journey in the 90’s.
Monday:
Place is busy
Front end girl runs up to the manager, girls room wall is smeared.
Manager goes in to clean it
Wednesday:
place gets busy
Manger herself walks into the restroom and it’s worse, comes back out to clean it. I offer to take care of it, i don’t love the idea, but I’m not grossed out very easily. (honestly, it was better than cleaning the grease traps, those things are miserable)
Thursday:
place gets busy.
Manager checks on the restroom, it’s clean
front end girl was taking her break on that side of the dining room.
One customer uses the restroom
Another front end girl goes in and the wall is smeared. Screams for the manager.
The customer looks all nervous and gets up to leave. The manager rips her a new asshole. Kicks her out in front of everyone in the dining room.
It was the 60yo who smelled strongly of cat urine. who’da thunk it.
I cleaned it again, got my pick of the shifts the rest of my days there. We never had another incident like that.
Of course, the men’s room is just always covered in urine. Old men and young kids miss, even people with aim splash back out of the toilet enough to get it on the walls/floor/under the urinals.
I’m impressed the manager dealt with it rather than making one of you. That’s leadership.
Especially in min-wage fast food, she was nice.

I don’t know what happened to them, but it used to be where I live that the bathroom would have floor-to-belly-height urinals and the entire bathroom floor would be gently sloped towards them, and the walls would be tiled to the same height.
This meant that cleanup could be done by blasting everything with industrial detergent/disinfectant and literally power washing it all into the urinal drains. Now in New construction I only see the wall mounted urinals, and a floor drain in the middle to meet code requirements, but often the cleaners don’t know that they have to put water into that drain to prevent it evaporating out and letting sewer gasses flow into the room (ew.)Overall a downgrade for both staff and visitors.
Enpissification.
Builder charges X for a bathroom, builds it out of cheaper fixtures, gets signoff from the client by using “premium” trims that cost them pennies more.
The f’d up part is that for most things being enshittified, we’d GLADLY pay $1 more for the nicer product for them to include $0.10 of screws they’re saving by putthing crap together with plastic.
its deeper than that, Cost of operation. Who pays the cleaning staff to disinfect those tiles so bacterial growth doesn’t occur? Plastics and many cheaper materials are bio-inhibitors. They can be covered in fecal and urine waste and not be literal petri dishes for bacteria, fungus’s and mold.
they also look plain (IE: “Industrial”, currently a desirable artistic trait. When we live in a society that is all doomer and see’s everything for its resale “potential”) and last a relatively long times(plastic erosion is significantly slower than cheap tile). In a era where operating a business is less about making or selling products you believe in, but making sure your investors (bank/shareholders) get paid. its one major cost(staff) off the top.
More so when most businesses rent the buildings they use, they do not own them. You want to blame anyone, blame the landlords that charge based on location, not based on business profits + their own costs.
Anecdotally, when I worked night shift in a restaurant, the women’s bathroom was always way worst than the men’s room
Yeah, a bunch of piss really isn’t a huge deal, but the women’s room could be a legit biohazard.
You know it had to be REALLY bad for them to put up that sign.
I’m sorry. I’ve never learned how to use the toilet. I’m trying to teach myself.
Ah. I think I see where I went wrong. I need more green thumbs and less red thumbs.
What does the top say? I must know.
I like how this is both funny and sad at the same time.
I need to know more.
Have you ever been inside of a gas station bathroom? I’m sure it was something like that, over and over. Once or twice is a bad experience, eventually it stops being worth it.
This must just be for the places not blessed by our midwestern lord and savior Kwik Trip. Most Kwik Trip restrooms I’ve been in are cleaner than my own bathroom.
Ah modern grill in lake view , food is good though
Frank and Artemis?
Needs a poop emoji sticker…
Fair.
