    Fwiw, those who have 'notably' odd poo as a matter of course (floating, pellets, too loose) regularly should really be trying to address this through diet and if that fails then see their doctors.

    In my last office we had nice loos, seperate cubicles with the sink inside so no one able to listen & miles down a corridor.

    However there were a few weird things

    including one day some disgusting person went in the disabled one there & left a pooey mess and the next person who went in there took a photo! Then pinned it up on the outside on a word doc saying something along the lines of you might live like this at home but next time use this: and a photo of a loo brush! Thsnk god the photo was in black & white lol!!

    When I was in Japan I pressed those buttons but the noises were really fake and loud sounding & I felt just made even more noise & wished I hadn't pressed it even though I'd just done it to see what it sounded like!

    What an awful thing to do, any reason why they couldn't just inform the person responsible for sorting it?

    Some people who use disabled toilets do so because they have problems like Crohn's disease, or even colostomies or ileostomies. These people can have occasional disasters and find themselves in real trouble in a public toilet with no products available for them to even try and clean up after themselves, or too ill to try.

    What happened to giving people the benefit of the doubt?

    (I realise it wasn't you claire16c, but whoever it was isn't here for me to rant at.)

    Going by the photo, it could have been cleaned up within two minutes with a loo brush - which was by the side of the loo. It was a mess but not that bad in the sense it couldn't have been cleaned up by the person themselves if you see what I mean?

    The cleaner used to come round every afternoon so it would have been gone within a couple of hours, so I think they were just making the point that people need to clean up after themselves! Unfortunately I saw the photo not long before my lunch break..

    I have ibs myself so I understand that people with even worse problems could have a disaster but it wasn't that bad, it was just laziness I'm pretty sure.

    (Just to be clear the photo did not have the person in it only the toilet) they probably had no idea who had done it.

    A guy my OH works with told him that he can only do a poo if he is completely naked!

    If your OH is naked? And you don't mind that? :undecided

    :p

    Even if it's a pull chain? Would love to see that. :rotfl:
