I had to drink about a pot of coffee just to get started today. Consequently, the restroom was my first stop upon getting to work. Apparently all the other males had the same problem. I know this, not because there’s a line, there isn’t. I know because of a overpowering smell of urine in the air.
This isn’t normal. It takes me five seconds to realize why. There are rugs underneath the urinals. With wet spots in the center. Rugs? Why the fuck are there rugs underneath the urinals?
Who thought this was a good idea?
Are you insane?
What are we susposed to mark territory now?
I work with embeciles!
Oh one other thing. Gentlemen if you’re using a short bat, step a little closer to the plate.
It seems some elderly (and the more pretentious) people have these in their homes. They always disgust me, so putting them in the guest bathroom is quite counter productive imho.
They never smell in these cases, though, but the very concept shocks me. I mean, who the hell wants to wash this thing when it gets all stinky and gross? Why not use a damn mop on your damn floor??
That’s nothing. I work in an old building that’s been remodeled several times. The upshot is that there’s an old sewer line running right underneath the room in which I work. It was blocked off and everything during the last remodel, but last summer something broke. That’s when we discovered that the - I dunno-whatcha-callums - the vertical sections that allow you to connect the pipe to stuff in the building - those things hadn’t been capped off properly. So human waste was gradually seeping up under our room. And you could smell it. To the point that eyes were watering. So what did my lovely tightwad company do to fix the problem until the plumbing was fixed? They gave us each a scented candle for our cubicles. Tra-la.
Okay, in general I agree this is not the greatest practice in the world. However, once in awhile expediency takes precedence .
For some reason whoever sited the single urinal in the men’s locker room at my job decided to place it for optimal use by a six-year old. I mean, it’s just sad - The damn thing is barely off the floor. We refer to it as “The Goatfeeder” ( and yes, we capitalize that when we say it ). “Splatter” is damn near inevitable unless you want to urinate while on your knees. Consequently we’re in the habit of throwing fresh towels under the thing periodically ( we have a laundry service that delivers about 50 a week ).
Nasty? Well, yeah. But it beats mopping the floor .
On a toliet in the Mens restroom?!?!? are you nuts?!?! Those things are usually dripping with yellowness, no one lifts the lid, and i refuse to touch a damp lid to lift it (but at least i can aim, unlike most of the people i work with).
Remember, someone always has it worse. While the OP’s problem can be easily fixed (take the rugs), this one would require drastic changes to my 100-year old high school building.
The bathroom near the locker room always has a smell. The heating pipes (We have steam heat) run through the bathroom. To keep the bathroom from becoming a sauna, fans cool off the room. Unfortunatly, this draws the smell out of the (usually unflushed) toilets. Mmm. Urine and fecal smells, plus a temp greater than 80 degrees. Probably why the mantancance staff has all but forsaken the room.
Also, there’s a (hopefully not) permanant yellow stain in front of the urinal at the Rite Aid where I work.
I’ve been meaning to get this one out of the backlog, and since this is the Pit:
<quick hijack>
This one is for the rat-felching dipshit who shat on the floor in front of the toilet in said bathroom.
You think that it was funny? I can’t even chalk it up to goddamn sophomoric grossness, since you were a fucking freshman! Good thing that you got expelled at the end of this year, since a third year of your puerile behavior would probably have drove me to a series of extremely embarrasing and strange pranks (forking your lawn, placing, er, unusual objects in your locker, etc) Is the fact that you formerly attended one of the top prep schools in the area lost on you? Apparently so, since your asshole-licking self likely would fail even in one of the God-forsaken public schools around here.

Sitting is just not viable for men, besides, most people would find the sight of it hillarious and extremely humiliating for everyone involved
This is just another case of rampant sexism in the modern bathroom
I used to date a guy that liked to sit and relax on the toitie when he was having a pee - perfectly natural.
Not in public restrooms though - in those you have to do the human hovercraft.
Oh, and for the record, I could care less if you gents want to spray piss hither and yon in public rest rooms - just don’t pee on my fuzzy matt, thank you very much.
