Okay, so at the coffee shop I work at, we have a staffroom which also doubles as a bathroom. Regardless, it’s off-limits to the public (we DO have public bathrooms). Tonight, a guy comes running in and just runs into our staffroom (people often mistake it for the public bathroom, but realize their mistake quickly). I didn’t think much of it, and decided to let him just use it anyway since he’d already run in and locked the door. But my co-worker tells me minutes later that apparently the guy shit ALL OVER THE FLOOR. What the hell? I can’t even begin to comprehend why someone would DO that. I was so nauseated by the thought of it (apparently it was diarrhea-esque quality) that I had to make my co-worker grab my things from the staffroom after close. I’m glad for her because she cleaned it up (having had to do it in the past, unfortunately), but still. Disgusting. I wish I had been the asshole I should’ve been and told you to use the public bathroom at least! —Jdp21

  1. Is it just me or does this city have an extravagantly over-the-top douchebag community? Don’t get me wrong, I believe that every type of social aberration has it’s place in our multicultural, moral relativistic “Just Society”. I know that many have struggled long and hard (that’s what she said) against mindless bigotry and archaic standards of “acceptable” behaviour in order to carve out their place in the world with peace and equality but I just can’t help but think some assholes are “just putting it on” and being far more assholish than they really need to be. Really – who shits on a floor? I’m not trying to be Johnny hatemonger here, but tone it down a bit.

  2. Accidents can happen. Bodies do bad things when you don’t want them to. However, there is no excuse for not cleaning up your mess.

  3. Oh – that’s naaasty. What is wrong with people?? Can’t even clean up your own mess? Did mommy make oll the dirties disappear for you and now you think your disgusting shit gets cleaned up by magic? Wake the fuck up people!

  4. I was eating a macaroon when I read this. It’s now in the garbage….thanks.

    This is friggin disgusting and there’s no reason he shouldn’t have used every last piece of paper towel and toilet paper to clean it up himself.

  5. Can I have the rest of that macaroon, RC? Since we can’t pass food digitally yet, going downstairs to the bakery.

  6. Shit happens (*snort*), but there’s no excuse for not cleaning up after yourself. I threw up at work a few years back and I made sure any stray chunks of vomit were cleaned up before I left. That’s just what you do.

    Last time i flew into Pearson, I walked into the washroom in T3 and there were shitty foot prints all over the floor and someone told me not go to in a certain stall because it was a mess. Apparently there was a pair of soiled undies in there too. Lovely. The prints were all the way out the door too onto the carpet flooring in the main hallway!

    As soon as I got to my destination I took a clorox wipe and scrubbed the bottom of my shoes, threw my pants in the wash (my pants sometimes run right to the ground) and wiped the bottom of my suitcases. *shudder*

  7. LOL, a friend of mine who’s expecting next month said the best part of being preggers is being able to eat and sleep whenever without being judged! She told me this as she was lounging on her sofa watching a movie while her husband was in the kitchen doing the dishes 🙂

  8. Our lunch room at work has built in washrooms that are not for the public to use. To access the lunch room staff have to enter a code.

  9. Hey Oceanchick, the staffroom is where we store our coats and other regular clothes while we work. So, no, we don’t eat in there, you idiot. <3

    Anyway, Kim_NS, don’t be a bitch. Lol. It’s easy to say I “made her” do anything for me. I didn’t “make her” do anything, I asked. Sorry for my poor wording. I was too nauseated by the thought of it, and I don’t get paid enough to clean that shit up (literally). If I had to deal with it, the mess would have been worse. She, on the other hand, has worked as a cleaner before and has had many experiences cleaning up that type of mess, so she volunteered (I didn’t TELL her to clean it up). I’m not apologizing at all for not cleaning it up myself. :-/ And if you think I should, you can go to hell.

    And for any of those that think I was cruel, I bought my co-worker a couple drinks after work to make up for it.

  10. having the shiselly drits and no place to go is a bitch. the poor fuck probly didn’t do it on purpose. ahem, shit happens(groan). xs cargo in bayers lake is a bad place if you need to go in a hurry. just before last christmas, of 2009, a lady had to go real bad, and they would not let her use the bathroom there, no public one. she had to wait for a cab, and then went down the road to a micky d’s, and relieved herself.
    i thought it was sposed to be a bylaw, that any business,open to the public, has to have a public washroom.what about lil kids, are they supposed ti piss or shit their pants. this place is fucked, if they can’t spare a few bucks for a shitter for the public, and any other place too.
    that should be a warning to anyone reading this and going there. and yes, i did report them to health board and civic licencing dept.

  11. “Okay, so at the coffee shop I work at, we have a staffroom which also doubles as a bathroom.”

    Your statement implies that your staffroom is also a bathroom. In my experience a staffroom has always been a room separate from the staff washroom, where staff take breaks, heat and eat lunches, keep belongings, etc. I was MERELY asking you to clarify for which you labelling me an ‘idiot’ only serves to demonstrate to all who the real ‘idiot’ is here and buddy, ’tis not I! Sheeeeesh! Over-react much?

  12. <3 aka - Mouse ears! It's been a while since we've *mouse ear* -ed.

    How are the treats treatin’ ya, RC? I could use some sweets. Oh – food porn alert: made boeuf bourguignon tonight for the first time. Not quite Julia Child’s, but it’ll do. Lover-ly with a bottle of french vino. 🙂

  13. I sure hope you had another mop to clean the rest of the store with the next day and not used the poop-covered mop after this use…

  14. ooh gross thanks max…that’s definitely a paper towel kinda mess. i have cleaned up my fair share of bodily fluids and mops just don’t cut it

  15. Bleach, don’t forget the bleach. It kills everything, including the smell.
    & I agree, not cleaning up your own shit is pathetic.

    Missed you today pg ;(

  16. did you get some face time with za commander? apologies for not stopping by avatar man^^

  17. There was a woman who did that at a local bar I used to frequent in Dartmouth a few years back.
    I knew the bartender, they had a pretty good idea who it was ,so they watched her, had a waitress in the bathroom moments before she went in… while she was in there , a waitress & customer went in & caught her on her way out, shit all over the floor, the seat, the wall !
    She ended up trying to file a complaint about being unjustly barred. Didn’t matter she’s never allowed back…the whole idea of doing something in public like that is really fucking nasty !

  18. Suckers — I think you’re only required to have washroom facilities by law if you serve food.

  19. Okay…
    Sorry, jdp, when I suggested that you should have helped, I didn’t realize that you were a man.
    ‘nough said.
    = p

  20. When someone runs in the door spewing bodily fluids I think of one thing: EBOLA.

    On bad nights when the scotch is gone I think of something else: ZOMBIE OUTBREAK.

    I hope the cleaner wore a hazmat suit and you stood watch at the door with either a shotgun or a banjo.
