Clean Up Your Mess At Work

I received a rather disturbing email from Ash recently:

I’d like to request an update to http://www.icbe.org/workplace-bathroom-etiquette/.

At my place of work we constantly have problems with people peeing on the toilet seat, which can make doing number #2 an unnecessarily unpleasant experience. Could you please add a section on putting the seat up if you have to pee standing up in the bowl ? I’m considering printing off the points on this page and putting them up, so if you could update the page it would be awesome!

It’s disturbing because wiping your pee off the seat (or just plain not peeing on the seat in the first place) seems like such a fundamental rule of bathroom etiquette and general good behavior that people wouldn’t need to be reminded of it. It just goes to show that there is no depth to which people will not sink when it comes to bad bathroom etiquette. I have updated the page, but let me say it here as well:

Being out of the house does not give you license to be a slob. Just because you are at work, or in a random public restroom, it is not okay to pee on the seat, or on the floor, or not flush, or any other gross thing you might consider doing.

Same thing go in the eating area, if you use the Microwave wipe up the mess so the person that uses it need don’t have to. Just to eat there lunch, this is so gross. Just cover the food with a paper towel or somthing Im so glad that I do not have to live with the people I work with
