"The Bathroom is the Place!" - William Shakespeare


So, dear Reader, another 'potty' story for you. I'm serious when I say: women are just as, if not more, disgusting than men and they would never let on it was them. Guilty people will never say if they are the ones who mess up a bathroom. Case and point - the other day I went into the cramped little washroom at work and was sitting in one of the stalls when I happened to look around me.

Big mistake!

I was really, really disgusted! Besides the fact that there was dried blood spatters on the far wall (who knows what woman was playing 'rodeo' that day in the stall with her tampon) I had looked on the right and left of me and someone had decided to skip the toilet paper or tissue and took the boogers from their nose and wipe it all over the stall walls. I was grossed out!

We had office cleaning staff who had been there now for weeks and hadn't even tried to clean the toilets obviously because it was dried up and crusty.

So I lodged a complaint to my boss who - she never noticed until I pointed it out to her - was completely disgusted and sent an e-mail for the girls at work to clean up after themselves. She was saying to me: 'Who does this kind of thing? What are they in Grade 3?'

This week I had looked and the cleaners had actually come into the washroom and cleaned our toilets! Yay! But the blood spatters were still on the far wall. Oh well, they never clean as well as I do. They've never had to clean up after old ladies who missed the bowl in the retirement home and had crapped all over the toilet and barely into the toilet. They never had to deal with ladies who flung their poo around the washroom like monkeys! They've never had to deal with the 'ring around the bath tub' where you could remove the dead skin with a palet knife because it was so thick!! I had to clean up so much shit I am disgusted more so with blood and boogers!

If you don't look around when you're in a small washroom - you are smart. It's best not to guess what that mess could be. In the famous last words of Elvis Prestley: "uhhhhhh...." *plop*!
