    I’ve never seen the aftermath of a shotgun spray, but I have seen a giant oatmeal loaf on the seat before. It’s part of why my old job stopped letting truck drivers use our bathrooms.

    Oh I know exactly what caused this.

    The women who hover instead of sitting on the toilet, and leave their pee all over the seat because they are absolutely without empathy for anyone else on the face of the earth. If you are so OCD you cannot touch the seat, for fuck’s sake at least kick it up out of the way with your foot.

    This is great. I literally am taking my morning constitutional at work and took this photo to post here.

      People from my country don’t throw paper in the toilet. It cloggs it up, so instead, the correct is throwing in the trash can. By the way, if this is only common here, then what is the trash can for?

    In my experience, the “NO” figure should be bent over a bit more in order to project onto the wall behind the toilet as well as the ceiling above. No better memory of working retail than going up to my boss and explaining why I needed to know where the spare ceiling tiles were.

      Reminder to anyone still working retail: if your job description isn’t “janitor”, you don’t need to clean that up. It’s a biohazard and they can pay more expensive people with better equipment to do it.

        Reminder to you that bosses can and will ask you to do things that are not your job. And since you need money for rent and food, you will have to do it. Otherwise, they will probably get rid of you, and will find a plausible legal reason.

          No, you will not “have to do it”. Either they can afford to pay a qualified person to do it, or they can’t. If they can’t afford a more expensive person, they definitely can’t afford to fire you. You are the cheap one.

          Think about it: if they put themselves in this situation, they are going to end up cleaning it themselves. “Need money for rent and food”? If you have a crappy minimum wage job, you have the power. Literally no one above you wants to do your work. You can definitely tell them “no”. Do you think there’s some shortage of crappy minimum wage jobs?

      In some countries the toilets are sort of embedded in the floor and you squat over them. There’s some evidence that this is a healthier way to poop. But if you’ve only ever squatted in your life a toilet might be as confusing as the three shells.

    The problem is the sort of person this applies to will respond:

    “That sign won’t stop me because I can’t read!”

    Are you aware of the legendary Ryan’s Steakhouse story?

    Hell, that thing might be an urban legend, but it’s supremely well written and if I was in graphic design, that story alone would probably lead me to thinking that selling signs like this would be a good idea.

    If you haven’t heard it, a web search for “The Steakhouse incident” (with quotes) or “macaroni beef toilet story” (no quotes) will probably turn up yet another re-hosting of it.

    For the lazy, here’s one I found just now: http://www.ihos.com/steakhouse.html
