Tea Break

It's technically a dinner break, but I'm calling it a tea break because I have no appetite after what I witnessed in the ladies bathroom today. Someone defecated all over the floor and there was feces smeared everywhere. We had to close the ladies bathroom until the janitor could come in for her shift and clean it up. Anyone who needed to use the bathroom needed to use the men's bathroom when it was completely empty and had the option of walking across the street to a local store to use their bathroom. It was a complete disaster.
This isn't the first time someone had made a disgusting mess of the ladies bathroom and it won't be the last either. The same applies to the men's bathroom, but that is fairly clean today according to my female coworkers who had to use it. I didn't use the bathroom until I took my dinner break by using the local cafe's bathroom and ordered a green tea. No snacks to go with it because I am not hungry at all. It was too disgusting to see brown feces smeared all over the tiles.
Anyway, I will go back to work in a bit. I'm going to drink my tea in peace in the meantime.

People do crazy things. When I worked retail these two grown women got our cans of silly string and was aiming it at each other. They went through six cans. When I seen them threw the cans down I went up and locked the front door. I picked up the cans and gave them to the cashier up front and told her call me back up front when they decide to leave.
I told them pay for the cans or I would call the police. They paid and yelled gossip words at me when they left.

They either do it because they are drunk or they are angry. I have no idea.

@jstory07 There are lots of patrons who take their drinks and splash them around in the bathrooms among other things like blood, urine, and more. Feces is the most common though.

I know. Someone was either mad or drunk. This can be an act of revenge against someone. I have no idea. This happens so often.

@lilacskies Just gross. When I worked in retail we locked the bathrooms after midnight.

@jstory07 I know. The bathrooms don't have locks. Only stalls.

I remember my dear mother of blessed memory shaking her head in utter disgust after cleaning motel rooms. Because of that, I try to be as clean and courteous as possible in public spaces. I think I barfed once in a bathroom, but I didn’t leave it for someone else to discover, I went and asked for something to clean it up with.

I am sorry about what your mother went through. You are so considerate! More people should be like you!

That is horrible. Did they do it on purpose do you think or was it an accident? What kind of place do you work?
I know we once had an incident at the theatre when some woman had a terrible attack of explosive diarrhoea and there was an awful mess. Thankfully that wasn't one of the days I was there!
