    On the other hand ...it also shows that despite the ages, male children are always so proud of their poo!!

    If only I had a pound for every time one of my sons as come out of the loo saying proudly ...."no-one can enter for at least an hour"......:eek::eek::eek:

    I don't work in an office so cant add to those tale but my boys do this too, always very proud and one son tells everyone he's dropped the bismark. In fact his current FB status reads......

    Blocked and unblocked 2 customers toilets in 1 week so all in all I have been very productive .... and nope he's not a plumber:(

    Not a proud momma moment there

    I used to have a colleague who was frankly bonkers. I once had to send her an e-mail asking her not to sellotape kit-kats or bananas to her desk.

    All communications with her were in writing or she would deny being told otherwise.
  • I have a very blunt speaking boss and he got annoyed as people would leave their dishes to drip dry (bearing in mind that the company provides clean tea towels) and the poor receptionist has to sort it out every day.

    So he left a notice saying that the f**king pixes didn't come into the office every night to clean up the canteen and could everyone please have the manners to tidy up after themselves.....strangely enough a) everyone knew who had left it and b) everyone tidied up after themselves

    See I'm a drip dry supporter... Once you've seen hands dried and floors wiped with a 'clean' tea towel you can never trust them again. I actually wash everything in our work kitchen before using it. (Where I counted 4 passive aggressive A4 printed notices only this afternoon)
    Treat everyday as your last one on earth! and one day you will be right.

    Poo smearing is a classic autistic behaviour. Twin1 (mild ASD) does it all the time, much to my disgust I have to clean poo off the sink, bin and wall on a regular basis!

    Admittedly I have very little knowledge of that condition, but to me anything labelled "mild" would not include smearing faeces down walls and sinks?

    I used to work in a building where in the summer when it got hot, the smell from the toilets was so bad, you held your breath when you walked past and it literally made your eyes water. In the end a plumber discovered when he took off the wall panelling behind the gents toilets that the end pipe of the sewer had never been capped when the building went up and we were getting the sewer gases leaking into our office.

    Children with 'severe' ASD can be completely non-verbal, in nappies, and unable to cope with the wider world.

    My mild ASD child has some quirky behaviours, I'll admit. But she is fairly normal in a lot of ways, and attends a mainstream school.

    My sister messaged me earlier saying that someone has actually done a poo in the middle of the toilet floor. She works in retail and they have staff and public toilets.

    It was in the staff one.....

    If you are a phantom bin-pooer, poo-smearer, or bogey-spreader, please, I beseech you - set up a new user name and explain why you do it.

    Pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaazzzzzzz......

    Or even if you like to do it on the floor.

    This site has a lot of subscribers. Given how common these habits appear to be I can't believe no-one falls into the above categories.

    This reminds me of a story someone at work told me. A colleague had dog mess on his shoe. He cleaned it off in the staff room sink using the scouring pad that was used for the washing up. When he had finished he returned it to the edge of the sink beside the Fairy liquid.

    Also someone left a note in the fridge 'could the person who stole my sandwich please return it.'
