I’m in the cleaning business….more specifically, I clean buildings that have public washrooms….and I gotta say….what a bunch of pigs humans are….piss and feces on the floor…and the wall…dirty diapers on the counter…..”sanitary” napkins on top of the garbage can…used tampons plugging toilets….boogers splattered on the mirror……..really, people?? —People I Seldom See

What’s surprising is that this comes as a shock to you…
And what was “[Image-1}” – Mr. Hanky??
OB, for what it’s worth, there are many of us who greatly appreciate your efforts in providing a clean public washroom. We tidy up after ourselves if we have the opportunity. However, we have no control over the piggish element of our society and their public washroom behaviour.
Personally, I try to avoid public washrooms as much if I can due to their inherent putridness and the frequent encountering of seedy characters. I had a bizarre experience at a public washroom at a mall once. When I walked in a tough looking dude was trying to tear down the door of a stall and was threatening to kill the occupant. When he saw me he whacked on the door one more time and yelled “F’ing peeping Tom!” and stomped out. My guess is that he had caught the guy in the adjacent stall standing on the toilet and peeking over the wall at him. Anyway, I did my business and got out of there as quickly as I could. I was glad not to see bloodshed and didn’t want to have to witness the terrified peeper emerge from his tiny chamber of humiliation.
Well, I’m glad you said “feces” instead of you-know-what. It certainly raised the tone of your bitch. Now, get back to work.
Yup, doesn’t even need to be a public washroom. This happens at my work place where we’re mostly professionals. People are the worst.
You’re dropping the ball at the grocery store on Quinpool. Step it up a notch.
Sartre got it right in Huis-clos (No Exit) with his famous line “L’enfer, c’est les autres”, usually translated as “Hell is other people.” .
OHHH! It’s a perfume bottle! There ya’ go OB – all you need is a perfume bottle! Another problem solved!
Mr. Hanky would be funnier; though I understand infringement laws may argue differently…
What about Sartre’s “Dirty Hands?” Don’t you think that applies here as well?
^^^ yes. Sanitary washrooms are a noble cause – worth “dirtying ones hands” for since, as the saying goes, “cleanliness is next to godliness”.
Nice to see (not really) that women are as much pigs as men are.
People be nasty as fuk… put on yer rubber gloves & face mask.
What kind of moron can’t hit the toilet doing a number two? They’re not sub-human OP, they’re all too human. You wouldn’t catch Homo Erectus missing the toilet, had they toilets. Though he might peek over the stall.
And then there’s the worst toilet in Scotland:
