    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......
  • I've never worked out how to quote so sorry. Yes, we had normal sanitary bins but someone obviously divided they didn't want to use those. They would drop all used items in the open bin in each cubicle.

    And know I know lol. I am such a newbie to this. Thanks. Svx c

  • A mate of mine said someone once put a dog poo wrapped in a plastic bag into their office confidential waste bin. Stank to high heaven.

    A family member used to run a tanning salon, that had perfectly good toilet facilities, but the amount of women that used to pee in the bin in the cubicles was truly astonishing. My OH also used to work in Facilities, and maintains to this day that the 'ladies' loos were always worse than the gents. In work, we've had the poo smearers, and also someone who would block the loo with plastic bags.

    But the worst thing, the worst thing that really turns my stomach is the amount of women who will walk out of a cubicle, stand in front of a mirror and mess with their hair/makeup before washing their hands. Bleurgh. :(

    Jobby is Scottish slang for poo.

    I never knew it was Scottish word lol.

    To add to the jobby theme, in one office I worked in, a female colleague decided to grow a tail and leave it on the toilet seat :eek:

    No one offered to deal with it and the cleaner refused so it was left for about 2 days until some specialist cleansing company were called in!

    Talking of poogate.

    I remember a few years back when an email went around the office asking the person whom used the bathroom to go to HR to get medical assistance or if need be counselling.

    The person obviously didn't own up as few few days later another email went around saying "The cleaner has handed in her notice as once again faeces was smeared on the top on the toilet lid, on the back of the cubicle door and also in a drinking cup" :eek:

    Some people either hate there job or are just plain nasty. :mad:

    Eww, this thread started so innocently and I was thinking that the 'milk wars' anticipated when we move offices in a few weeks' time would be on a par with others' grumbles.

    I was sooooo wrong. Poo-smearing is sooooo out of that league!
  • It was the days before email, but the owner of the company called the myself and the other 5 employees into a meeting. We were told that we were using too much toilet roll and that toilet roll was a privilege. He said that if we did not stop abusing this privilege he would withdraw it :rotfl:

    In the offices I have worked in previously there has been poo smearing too! I can't believe people can sink so low to do such a thing!

    Plus, I'm sure someone poo'd in a bin as well!

    Just thinking back to the OP and the butter reminds me of when I used keep a tup of lurpak in the fridge at work.

    Folk were forever pinching it so I left a post it note stuck inside the lid with an advisory note that I lick my knife before dipping it in the butter.........

    Our teams milk is forever disappearing too but unfortunately we can't come up with any safe way of sabotaging it so as not to end up getting 10 years as folks can have alergies to the strangest of things........(any ideas welcome :shhh:)
