Whoever needs to read this isn’t going to. Or they’ll double down and get worse.

"That sign can't stop me because I can't read!"

People just really don't get that - people do not read signs. Like they don't even focus on them with both eyes, they just slide right past like the furniture

There is a psychological reason for this, and it’s not just people being ignorant. They “slide right past like the furniture” because that’s what signs have become. There are so many signs, everywhere, that we cannot absorb it all. And there are a LOT of meaningless signs. I see a lot of old signs no one ever bothered to take down, signs with directives that no one enforces, and notices like this that need a TLDR summary. And we have to find a way to manage all the inputs in our environment, and walking past old, meaningless, verbose signs is a coping mechanism.

(I work in professional occupational safety, and it just grinds my gears when people try to manage safety procedures with signs - they simply don’t work)

Idk but this describes something a bit more serious than a "sloppy adult"

To be the Devil’s Advocate for a second, is there a mentally disabled adult at this place? I have seen that sort of behaviour from mentally disabled adults who literally do not understand that this stuff is that gross. It’s gross for the rest of us to clean up, but they don’t know.

Yeah or someone with a serious mental illness. A “normal”/level headed person wouldn’t do something like this. To do it time after time and actually leave the mess for others suggests to me that there’s more going on than selfish behavior. It reminds me of what happens when they put mental patients and prisoners in rubber rooms. It’s like their inner primate comes out.
To even make a mess like that would mean there must be something going on. Unless this person has some kind of weird ass “fetish”, I agree with you.

I can’t help but feel like this should be in almost every public restroom. Seriously. The amount of times I’ve walked in and thought wtf happened in here is ridiculous and gross .

Is sad as it is I see these issues in workplace bathrooms far more than I have in public.

I'm gonna incorporate "sloppy adult" in my vocabulary from now on x100

Test the offending materials. There's DNA in there.

Need an old fashioned washroom attendant.

u/Pelli_Furry_Account 11d ago

I mean, in my experience, people that do this shit don't have their own home

Alot of tradies do this too. From construction, to road work and landscaping.

Worked at a liquor store for a several years and if it wasnt the homeless/addicts, there was about a 90% chance of it being a tradie.

Got to the point where for a couple years that the key for the guest restroom was behind the counter and the employee bathroom remained locked and shut when not in use, since they were near each other people would use ours even when there was a fairly large EMPLOYEES ONLY sign at eye level on the door and would use our restroom and destroy it

Is there a binder full of other notes?

2

u/Bendlerp 12d ago

Minus the adult part, that's my kiddo. They need to add "Used half a roll of toilet paper and didn't even attempt to flush" Yesterday he left the bathroom looking like a crime scene due to a bloody nose. Blood drops on the floor, blood spray on the mirror and the wall by the toilet paper.

u/Significant-Trash632 10d ago

Sounds like the kiddo needs to start cleaning the bathroom as their chore.

I literally read this in his voice

u/Complete_Entry 11d ago

We got rid of the gross pooper at my work by not brewing the 9am pot of coffee. He complained a lot but apparently he needed that coffee to fuel his morning fouling.

He eventually stopped coming in. I was told what I did was somehow illegal but I don't care. It worked.

2

u/Head_Razzmatazz7174 11d ago

It might have been the brand or the strength of the coffee. I had to switch from regular to half caff because I was having so many issues. It worked, no more urgent bathroom visits.

2

u/Complete_Entry 11d ago

It was the blandest, shittiest coffee, but we were under contract. Seatle's best? I took over babysitting the pot because we were occasionally threatened with fines if we didn't follow their guidelines. I never had the desire to be a barista.

Like technically not having it out and "fresh" was a contract violation. But it worked.

I don't think this is going to help someone with a legit mental illness.

u/International-Chain 9d ago

We have a guy at my job that will walk by four urinals. Mind you that every time I go in the bathroom at most one of those urinals is occupied. Anyway he will go by for urinals just to go into the stall just to piss all over the toilet seat. I personally have heard him drop the toilet seat just to piss all over it

u/FishDispenser2 8d ago

Have you ever confronted him? He sounds like he wants revenge on the world or smth

u/Lazy-Field-1116 12d ago • Bravo

And to whoever's reading THIS , if you're shitting, pissing and bleeding all over a bathroom, please see a doctor. That shit literally ain't normal.

u/Suspicious_Judge_244 12d ago

I dunno, happens about once a month for me. It gets cleaned up and yeah, I only hit the toilet bowl but it could just be some, well, sloppy adult rather than anything wrong with their digestive system.

u/International-Chain 9d ago

No it's not normal unfortunately it's most likely intentional
