UGH, woman who pees on the toilet seats where I work...

mexicolombiana · February 2010

So for those of you following the drama, there is pee all over 2 toilet seats (out of 5) again at work. Angry

I think I might just give up. Really unless you catch the person in the act, it's impossible to know who it is, we can only speculate it's the one front desk chick in one of the suites. I mean I know it's not me and it's not any of the women in our suite.

I really hate to harp on this but it's SO disgusting to walk into a stall and look down and see pee ALL over the toilet seat. I'm not talking one or two tiny drops you can easily just clean off yourself, I'm talking the ENTIRE toilet seat covered in urine. Lots of urine. And it splashes onto the floor too. It makes it impossible to use that stall and sometimes the person pees twice in a day and dirties another stall!

I have taped signs and had discussions about it with what seems like all the women on the floor, and still it continues. Many of the women have decided to go to another floor to use the bathroom, but it's frowned upon here, and people give you funny looks when you invade their floor's bathroom.

So in a final attempt to make the lady stop I taped one more note on the inside of each stall door (written together with some of the other women on my floor):

Dear Ladies,

Someone continues peeing all over the toilet seats on this floor.

It is clearly someone ignorant, with no home training, and no consideration for the other women on this floor.

If you know who this person is, please talk to her, and urge her to STOP peeing on the toilet seats, or at least have the decency to clean it off.

If you are the person peeing on the toilet seats, please stop or clean up after your mess.

It is unacceptable and we know ALL the ladies from this floor are fed up.

We will be looking into reporting it to the building maintenance and the management of the building if this continues.

Perhaps we need to have a training session involving all the ladies from this floor, to learn proper bathroom etiquette?

Please help us confront this person and put an end to the disgusting condition of our 11^th floor bathroom.

Also, it is not just urine on the toilet seats (how does a woman even get urine all over the toilet seat?!) but the toilets are constantly un-flushed, and there was even menstrual blood all over one of the toilets the other day as well.

Let?s please try and keep this bathroom clean. Thank you.

-From all the clean and courteous women from the 11^th floor.

Honestly, I may give up after this. I'm so angry and disgusted

(also to the one bumpie who responded to me about this a few days ago and said her boss gets crap ON the toilet like everyday, that is so much worse than my story! and I hope you can get him to stop!)

ROTF!!! ahaahahhaha let us know if anyone says anything. good luck!

We have this problem at my job but thats because the men use our bathroom as well when they break theirs or some are just "too good" to use the mens room (because its nasty) and use ours..then girls pee on it too we put up a sign that said similar things..It was taken down not even 24 hours later..

Serafeena · February 2010

Now, that's just unfortunate. Methinks you have a passive-aggresive pisser on your hands.

that's gross. we have to use a key to get into our bathroom and men never come into our bathroom, so that's the worst part, this is a WOMAN doing this! My old signs are still up after more than 2 weeks, and we'll see how long these stay up. I am just fed up, and it's not just me, it's like the most popular thing to chat and gossip about in the bathroom if you run into another woman in there!

KathrynBurkart · February 2010

I can't stand that either. Our bathroom was the same today. 2 out of the 5 had pee on the seat. And I thought men could be messy... It seriously grosses me out. Bathrooms alone tend to gross me out during pregnancy and I have thrown up just at the sight of a public toilet. Now more than ever I wish people could be neater. I just don't get it. Our office even supplies those paper seat covers so if you're afraid of sitting on it you don't have to squat. We haven't yet posted signs but I know women have talked about it.

willowcormar · February 2010

WOW. I have to say I would be mad too. I get mad when I go anywhere and there is pee on the seat. I mean come on your not going to get some weird butt fungus or something if you sit on a previously sat upon seat. No reason to squat over the thing and pee everywhere. We are women. We are suposed to sit when we pee!!! hehe. you brought up one of my petpeavs. sorry.

anvloveskme · February 2010

I am at a loss, I have no idea why someone would continue to do this!!! I work in a private building, but we have about 14 folks in the office (majority women), plus clients here daily, sharing one single stall mens room and one single stall ladies room. Our ladies room is consistently cleaner than the boys, so I can't even begin to understand how with 5 stalls things end up this way!!!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that this adds to why it all grosses me out now- because I'm just more grossed out at stuff while pregnant. I think I could have let a lot of this just slide had I not wanted to vomit everytime I walked into our gross bathroom.

bloverly · February 2010

Your bathroom dilemma is like a soap opera...I'm hooked! I hope it does some good, but, given the previous notes, etc I don't think it will. Very sad, but very true. I hope that building management CAN do something about it. I'm not really sure what exactly they could do, but at the same time...someone's gotta do SOMEthing!

CaliforniaSunshine · February 2010

Soooo gross! I hope you find the peeing on the toilet seat bandit. I think it is so inconsiderate that she does it! I just wonder what her bathroom at home looks like. Yikes!!!

jess60 · February 2010

I must've missed your OP's about this. That is terrible & disgusting. Ick!

Makes me appreciate being the only woman in the office & having the women's bathroom all to myself (except for the occasional female customer).

GL with your final note but I wouldn't get my hopes up considering the efforts you've made in the past.

ali_sha006 · February 2010

I work all by myself in a store and sometimes it gets lonely, but this story makes me so glad I don't have to deal with co-workers. And we don't have a public bathroom, it is all mine.

Sarahk8 · February 2010

I'd rather have to deal pee with that than what I just had to back out of seperate 2 stalls from at my work. Woman are so disguisting, and I"m sorry but I know its the old bags that work here. I need to make signs that say "please dont sh*t on the toilet seats" apprently. I'm so pissed its not even funny.

kg_08 · February 2010

I must say, I personally look forward to the latest installments of "pee on the seat lady". lol.. That note is good, but pretty long.. If I was in the bathroom I probably wouldn't read it for that reason. Maybe try "If you pee on the seat ONE MORE TIME you will be tarred and feathered. We're getting really cranky about your lack of hygene!"

greenmishpacha · February 2010

I would give your HR person a note, it is a BIO HAZARD if not taken care of. People can get ill if they don't look before they leap. Ick!

kimtritz · February 2010

oh. my. that is so... how the hell does someone physically DO that!??!!? anyway. that is disgusting. i get so irritated at people with icky bathrooming habits, i cannot stand it!!! and oh, i love snarky notes.

i'm just thinking of all the snarky things you could do in addition to your note, so i made a list. clearly i'm enjoying my free time.

1. appoint a bathroom monitor and have that person go in the stalls after people leave to check. if they find the pee-er, yell and point them out.
2. i think you said you have to use a key... i might be thinking of another poster. anyway. if you do use a key, change the lock, and give every good-bathroom-user a key upon inspection of their bathroom habits. this should be done by the bathroom monitor. if you don't use a key... install them, and give keys to those with good habits.
3. take the toilet seats off and have them disinfected and you have to sign them out and bring them back... like a library book.
4. ask the people you think are the pee people, to make several copies of the snarky letter.
5. first thing in the morning, put water all over the seats. the one that complains is the pee offender. the ones who laugh, are your normal coworkers.

on that note. i have to pee. bawha.

serarose · February 2010

Ugh, good luck. How gross! Since I moved to this area I've gotten used to (sadly enough) consistently disgusting public women's bathrooms. Leaving pee sprinkles all the way to huge splashes on seats, leaving full unflushed toilets full of everything you can imagine finding in a bathroom... it's just gross, and it seems to be consistent across, say, a mall or train station bathroom and the bathroom at the Ritz (although the Ritz has attendants who are more on top of it). I can't remember which book it was in, but Robert Heinlein wrote that you can evaluate the overall well-being of any given society by checking out its public bathrooms... hopefully the culprit(s) take notice of your poster!

I wanted to say something like that, but we didn't want to seem "threatening" blah blah blah, we're a bunch of lawyers in my suite so we have to be careful. If it was up to me I would have just installed cameras in the bathrooms. HA that would be so illegal.

These may very well be the funniest suggestions I've ever heard. I am printing them and sharing them with my co-workers. I LOVE the idea of making everyone "check out" the toilet seats each time you pee. I only wish something like that was possible!

I wish I could but we have no HR department or person. We're a bunch of free-standing law firms who share office space. Though, the woman who is doing this, let's call her the perp, works in the CTA retirement fund office and I bet THEY have an HR department. I just don't think I can approach their HR department...since I don't work there. Confused

Just_Jenn · February 2010

Well, my theory is that either it's someone who doesn't speak English very well, and therefore hasn't been understanding all your signs, or it's a total b***h/real-life troll-type who is loving all the drama and discomfort she's causing. (Maybe that's why she deliberately dirtied two stalls?)

I say you and the other women pick a day, break it up into one-hour or 30-min. slots, and take turns standing guard in the bathroom. (You can pretend to be fixing your hair, washing your hands, touching up your makeup, brushing your teeth, whatever, so you're not just standing there.) Each time a woman comes out of a stall, surreptitiously check it out and see if it's clean. Hopefully, eventually, you'll catch her in the act.

Keep us posted!! I've been watching this closely too, it's just so gross and bizarre!!!

cocadoll · February 2010

I would so waste a day of work to stalk the bathroom. I would check it in the morning and go back in after every person and see if it's still clean or not. Maybe you don't work close enough to the bathroom to do this. But I would still find a way.

ZooBaby2010 · February 2010

I worked somewhere that #2 kept showing up all over the toilets. It became a health concern. The company set up cameras outside the bathroom and had a person check after each person left the toilet.

Long story short, it was two women from a foreign country (I can't remember where) where toilets were not part of their culture. Turned out, they were standing on the toilets and squating because they thought that was what you were supposed to do. Someone sat down and talked with them about etiquette and using a toilet. Once they knew, it stopped.

Doubt your person is the same but...you could hope right? Stick out tongue

Wow, see sh*tting on the seats is way worse than piss (though there was blood on the toilet rim dripping down to the floor last week). That sounds like a perfect sign. Maybe next time I'll just write a one sentence sign:

"please don't piss on the toilet seats"

orienae · February 2010

Definitely one of my pet peaves, if you don't want to sit on the seat either raise it or cover it. My grandmother couldn't "hover" over a toilet seat and it was always so distressing to her when she would have to use a public toilet because someone else had dirtied it; it's just so disrespectful to others. Sit on the damn toilet or make sure it is clean when you leave.

slc2b · February 2010

I have honestly been wondering about how this turned out for weeks, but couldn't remember who originally posted this. Thanks for the update, and sorry the culprit is still in action!

mexicolombiana · February 2010

Yup the culprit, offender, perpetrator, dirty-girl is still out there.

Setting up a bathroom watcher has been discussed btw... That might be the next plan of action.

meghan_marie · February 2010

Sounds like we all need to go back to Kindergarten where we have bathroom buddies and one person goes in and checks all the stalls before and after the pisser goes in. LOL

MrsEricH · February 2010

This has been going on FAR too long. I'm really surprised you haven't gone to the management (or wherever) about this. I would have done it awhile ago.

You should have swabbed the menstrual blood to get a DNA sample, therefore ruling out possible suspects... ew sorry, I'm on a CSI kick right now.

Don't tempt me to do crazy things, I am hormonal and will do it! Then probably lose my law license over it

I just don't know what good it will do to report it to the building management! I threatened it in the letter though. The problem is that they are all individual law firms/companies in each suite so there is really no HR department or anything like that, just the Office of the Building that manages the whole building (all 34 floors here). I'll keep everyone posted...

LOL, too funny. What grosses me out, is that if they are getting it all over the floor and seats, you know they have to be getting it on themselves as well. Eww.

CinnamonBun · February 2010

I lurve the latest installment of co-irker pisser. It just keeps getting better.

mommabird77 · February 2010

Oh, you don't want to work in my office. Not only is there pee on the seats, but poop and blood. Someone even drops bloody toilet paper on the ground and LEAVES IT THERE! It is truly disugsting.

omg where do you work? I mean like what kind of office?!

gm7117 · February 2010

OK, 1st of all...do you work in my office??? We have been dealing with the same situation for years. All the good stuff...pee, poop and blood...have all ended up on or around the toilet. And we recently had someone consistently vomiting on the floor NEXT to the bowl and not cleaning it up. Really?? It's so disgusting on a regular day, but even more so when I have to run in there to throw up. I swear it makes me throw up longer than necessary...LOL. We've resorted to putting up a sign also and it seems to work on and off. Goes something like this...and is on the inside door of every stall and the entry door.

ATTENTION LADIES

(stop sign graphic)

STOP...TURN AROUND!!!!

- Is there anything left on the seat?

- Is there anything left on the floor?

- Is there any paper in the bowl?

PLEASE LEAVE THIS STALL HOW YOU WOULD LIKE TO FIND IT

Honestly, I swear people are just pigs. And we were this close to putting a pig picture instead of a stop sign ;-). Gross!
