    Loud as hell URD exhaust!
    Ok a few observations at my work.

    1st - Why do European and Asian people use the toilets to urinate? They rarely lift the lid and leave it wet for the next person with a BM? Are they really that nervous that someone will see their tally
    wacker?

    2nd - This morning I was in a stall and look over and the guy next to me is in his socks only. Ive seen this often and dont know why they need to take off their shoes for a BM.

    Also this same guy dropped/flung part of a turd over to my side of the stall. Then he reaches down with a piece off toilet paper and attempts to clean it. But instead just smears it and then leaves it...wtf?

    Has anyone else seen this strange behavior at their work place.

    BTW - I work for a fortune 500 company not at truck stop in Tijuana, MX.

    Epic thread topic.

    I had a guy at my last office that would do what I called a "see saw wipe". He would make a big catcher's mitt out of TP (could hear him unrolling for an eternity) and then literally wipe back and forth about 50 times with the same wad. Doesn't he know he's just grinding and smearing the poop? You could just her him rubbing back and forth over and over, like he was sanding a piece of wood.

    This is at a Fortune 75 company!!!

    Massive grunting like someone is giving birth is also another favorite sound coming from a stall. Even some guys that walk up to the urinal to pee sound like they just pissed out barbed wire. Go see a doctor!

    I also work for a Fortune 500 company and am just as baffled at the behavior I see in the men's room. The thought that most often goes through my head is "I wonder if they do that %$#! stuff at home". It really is amazing what some people do.

    My summer job in high school was working at a marina, I used to have to clean our restroom each week and was amazed/disgusted/terrified at what people manage to do in the bathroom. How the hell does a person manage to smear s**t on the f**king side of the stall, or BEHIND the freaking toilet???? It was a horror show, I don't even want to imagine what some people have sitting inside their underwear.

    Yep, each department in our building takes turns cleaning the building. I am astonished what I find. How in the fuck is there that much pubic hair in the urinal?! Where does it come from?

    We have this one civilian employee that I genuinely believe spends three of his eight hour workday in the stall sitting there. We only have one toilet and I have to go to another building if I ever have to use it because this guy is ALWAYS in there.

    haha back in the day when I had a slave job at a grocery store, I had to clean bathrooms. The worst I ever saw was in the women's bathroom. In the stall, all over the back wall, was literally splattered shit about 6' up the wall and on the sides of the stall. All I could imagine was someone ran in there, dropped their drawers, and bent over like a double barrel shotgun and exploded up and out. How they got such height with shit splatter still baffles to me this day. And why they couldn't just sit down to explode also stumps me. They must have gotten shit all over their back, when they could have contained it to just their ass if they sat down.

    Needless to say, I refused to clean it up claiming it was a "significant biohazard". They made our floor care contractors do it, somehow.

    If available, I use a stall for the privacy. Don't want a gay eyeing me up.

    I work with some folks from India (and they are all very nice & professional) - they don't make a mess, but the first thing they do after coming out of the stall is turn on the sink and fill up their hands with water and slurp some while splashing their face. I'm simply attributing it to a cultural thing.

    Oh and in general...for anyone...how about a courtesy flush!!

    Bathroom stalls in Deutschland go all the way to the floor. But at the beer gardens in Munich the urinal is a two sided trough. Too drunk to be homophobic and I could care less really.

    One of my customer accounts has 90% Japanese workers, and you go to use a stall and there are always shoe prints on the SEAT. They still do the stand and squat method. Mexicans actually from Mexico seem to throw their shitty wipe paper in the trash instead of flushing it, too. God, I could go on for days about bathroom complaints.
