And no, I'm not referring to the kind you get on donuts or ice cream.
How is it possible that adults--health care providing adults--health care providing adult WOMEN are incapable of cleaning up after themselves?
If I have to go into our staff bathroom one more time and find the seat COVERED with piss, I'm going to...to...I don't know WHAT but I'm going to do SOMETHING.
This is a bathroom in our staff lounge. You cannot get into the lounge without knowing the code to the door-lock. This is not some bathroom that the public uses. It's clean and relatively fresh-smelling. There are nice lotions to use on your hands. There are disposable toothbrushes. The people who use this ladies' room are nurses, nurse techs, doctors, and our CLEANING STAFF.
Oh my freaking god. How do you squat there, piss, wipe, then pull up your pants, flush, and just waltz out as if nothing is wrong? How do you not NOTICE that you've inundated the toilet seat with your loin lemonade? Oh yeah, and SOMETIMES, it's PINK LEMONADE. (Uh huh, ew, right?)
Look, if you can't BEAR to sit on the toilet seat, then fine! But until you grow a penis and a sense of aim, you need to clean up after yourfreakin self, you disgusting piglet.

It's cuz you wimminz SQUAT! Why woncha sit on a clean seat in a nurse's lounge? WTF?
Finally, score one for the menfolk.
What-EVA, noisejoke.
You men think yer aim is so great and believe me, it is NOT.
That's why men's rooms always smell like piss.
So there.
loin lemonade.....ROFLMAO!
I have Virex right next to the can in our staff bathroom for that exact reason. I refuse to squat. I'd rather be pissed off about cleaning off the seat than pissed on when I sit on it.
I got tired of this at work. I put up a sign, based on a cutesy thing I saw once: "If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie" I then added "or if you prefer, STOP PISSING ON THE TOILET SEAT". Apparently the offender was offended and took the sign down.
I worked as a janitor for one summer to put myself through school. Things that people would clean up at home,t hey don't at work. Miss the garbage can with your snotty tissue? Leave it on the floor. Have a piece of gum? Toss the wrapper on the floor wherever you are and the gum whereevr you happen to be. I find it hard to believe that these people didn't put the tissue in the garbage at home etc....they are lazy.
I can't imagine co-workers not trusting each other enough to sit down instead of hovering like a helicopter. Perhaps, they know that they have something communicable and are afraid that others do, too. Ugh!
Ugh is right. I refuse to squat. Fortunately, we have two toilets in the women's room. Sometimes I clean it up if it's just a little drip, but when it's like a cloudburst, I can't bear it.
carol: I was working in pediatrics the other day, and a mother changed her toddler's diaper on the bed, balled it up, and hurled it at a garbage can about five to six feet away. In full view of the other patients and staff. Of course she missed. She actually sat there for a full minute before she noticed everyone staring at her (I was trying not to laugh hysterically). She sighed, got up, and put the diaper in the garbage.
That's disgusting! Knowing what can be passed along in urine you'd think they'd have the courtesy to clean up after themselves.
It can't just be one person, it's got to be two or more.
At least you're a decent, thoughtful person.
I'll tell you what to do.
Next time use your camera phone to take a close up of the loo seat complete with the sprinkles.
Print the picture and leave a note under the picture with the words "this is unacceptable" written under it.
Then use bluetack to pin it to the back of the toilet door, so people inside can see it at eye level.

The toilet seat pee-ers bug me a lot, but you know who else really bugs me? The chicks who leave their toilet-seat cover on the toilet seat when they leave. Right. So, let me get this straight: your ass is much too precious to touch bare public porcelain, but it's perfectly okay for you to leave your used ass cover for the next person to dispose of?
If I EVER catch the person(s) who do this in my building? I hope to publically humiliate her/them so badly that she/they are unable to return to work due to severe PTSD.
My suggestion to you, Nurse Betty, would be to wrap their used toilet seat around their neck like a wreath, before you humiliate them some more.
;-)
At our office I used to think people sprinkled until I realized the prob--- the "seat covers" when combined with auto flush, cause overflow. Ugh. Doesn't sound like this is your case, if you have pink spray/
I can't even reach the toilet with my lack of pressure and piss on both feet at the same time--so I sit! Yep- in the men's bathroom and it's always clean because I'm the only one who puts the seat down- and then right back up she goes!
