Serious toilet post. Don’t look if easily 🤢

[Northernraider]

People will steal anything. Our surgery was small and people would steal loo rolls, changing mats, potties. The girls could usually spot the pattern with loo rolls! That was easy to sort with those damn dispensers but they’re a devil for the elderly and/or people with arthritic fingers. We gave up providing a potty and obviously the wall changing mats came in.

The mess people make in loos , obviously the poo is extreme but even my gym which is a nice Nuffield one, toilet paper and sanitary towels etc on the floor. Pee on seats. Not occasionally but almost every day. This week a lump of chewed gum stuck on the shower controls! We have a great team of cleaners there.

I’m off on a rant again, I need, a holiday, only 3 weeks to go!

This is why I prefer dogs to people .

Obscene - if caught they should have their face rubbed in it!

Ah, but dogs steal ... apart from the usual like the odd sarnie if they're being naughty we've had one who raided the fridge once and instead of the nice cooked ham she chose a large block of lard! Another time she nicked a bag of pineapple chuck sweets and ended up with a face looking like a prune as she was so thirsty!

The funniest though was our Piggy who used to run into our greenhouse, nick some leaves off a lettuce, and run out again. We had visions of one day she'd run out with a whole one.

Well that's down to the owner lol. Mine never steal food.

Jade once when she was about 5 months old ate my lunch when I was taking a photo. But never since and the others haven't either. They won't even go near each others dog bowls at meal times.


They're recalls not the greatest but they have food discipline etc.

I doubt it’s a conscious act though. What on earth is the world coming to? I’m on MHF defending dogs.

They usually only do it once, Pootle certainly learnt her lesson after raiding the fridge.

Our Bella was a bugger though when we first got her as she loves milk as I thing her original owner used to give her it. When I have a mug of tea I like it strong so take the mug with the brewing tea into the lounge on a tray with a small jug of milk, if I had to leave the room whilst it was brewing the chances were high that the milk would mysteriously disappear!

Best one though although not doggy related was my pet rat who used to nick my fizzy drink ... consequently he ended up with the name Sprite.

Years ago we babysat my daughters dog st the time, a Dalmatian bitch.

My wife forgot about the 9” mas cake that she’d made and was maturing and feeding with brandys which was wrapped up in foil on the nest of tables in the dining room.

She came downstairs to find two thirds of the cake gone and crumbs and foil everywhere. How the dog survived I don’t know! She drank loads of water, was sick many times and then went back looking to hoover up the crumbs!

I just find it unexplainable that someone can leave a toilet like that, not that have I been unfortunate enough to get a toilet in that condition but if I did there would be someone outside the door waiting to go in with my luck…

I would die of shame if I had to leave it like that…

I think it is the perpetrators perception, that it is someone else's job to clean up the jobby

Scenes like that, encountered on campsites all over the world is the reason we have never bothered installing a loo and shower at Jasmin camping. We have a building in the perfect spot and right next to the septic tank, so it would be an easy and cheap install. But suddenly, you transform from an International Man of Mystery into a toilet cleaner. No thanks.

Don't go in a rural toilet in India, you won't come out alive.

Don't go in a rural toilet in India, you won't come out alive.

And tread carefully. If the snakes don't get you...

(Note the "open defecator" change from 54% in 2015-16 to 26% in 2019-21. A very large percentage of the population are "first generation" toilet users. It may presumably take a large public education programme - "sit it, wipe it, spray it" - to establish proper standards.)

We had a lot of Indians working on the last Project I was on and many of them would squat on the toilet seat rather than sit on it. The results were similar to the OP picture but on a grander scale as we had 26 traps to use. For some reason they wouldn't use the proper squat toilets.
Felt sorry for our cleaners who had to deal with it on a daily basis.

 

[EuroTrotters]

Certain people from certain backgrounds have been known to stand on the bowl to drop one.

Just saying.

And in Abu Dhabi airport, there is a 3rd class transit area for that type of people most of us will never see.

There are squat toilets here too so I did wonder why squat on a normal bog…

Anything can become a culture war issue.

Squatting, you may be told, is the proper traditional way. It's always been done this way.
Then we will hear that it is physiologically better and more 'natural'.
Then that people have horrible germs and you wouldn't want your bottom near where the last person perched his.

So if you do actually put your bottom on a toilet seat then you're going against tradition, nature, proper practice and you're probably just a modern snowflakey faddist.

That is why it may take an education programme - "real men sit down".

Think for instance about the German "sitzpinklers" and what the percentages are of men who sit or stand to wee across different countries. In the UK most of us stand, dammit, we're not continentals. And in India proper people squat.

For gawd;s sake don't use a squat toilet Garry!

Anyone who stands on toilet is high on pot.

Careful, you could be shat on from a dizzy height for that

I got upgraded to first class on a 747 back from Australia. It was one of the older ones with a spiral staircase and only about 20 seats upstairs. It had a dedicated toilet and a very posh woman (I heard her talking in the lounge about taking the boat to Henley regatta) went in. I went in after her and it was a right state, not just the bowl but the sink too. I let the steward know about it and who had down it but he just put an "out of.order" sign on it. I don't blame him for not cleaning it. I assume she had someone to wipe her down at home.

I hope the cleaners have a jet wash or power wash to cope with that. Disgusting.

I just bought myself a portable bidet spray thing having experienced the care staff in hospital use them to comfort the patients. Why have I never come across them before? Maybe a sheltered life.

Seen far worse in a cafe in east Germany.
It was full to the point the lid wouldn't close fully.
Luckily it was across a back yard and not indoors.
They're be closed down in this country

That will wash off.......they should be made to eat it.
They wouldn't do it again.

Pal of mine was suffering from a bout of Gandhi's Revenge he'd picked up in Goa, when he went to the toilet in the airport on his way home, there was a little old lady handing out two sheets of paper for a couple of rupees, he looked at her and said "Only two sheets, it's a bloody pressure washer I need !"

Julie and I were mystery shoppers for various companies for 30 years (up until about 2016 when times changed).

We once had to mystery shop two nightclubs in Luton which included the toilets. We were both shocked to discover that the ‘Ladies’ was far, far, far worse than the gents, with the floors swimming in all kinds of detritus. The gents was pretty standard, just like today, small puddles at the urinals where men don’t stand close enough (there’s a joke out there somewhere about the estimation of six inches being completely different depending on whether you’re male or female)!

My German girlfriend at the time used to work on days off from flying in an Antiquarian bookshp in Dusseldorf. The guys who ran it had a notice in the toilet requesting men to sit to pee.

When I try it, after I stand up I need another pee.
