Office Toilets

[Johnny Canuck3]

Common occurrence in women's toilets in Vancouver: the seats have piss on them, plus footprints.

The cultural preference for many citizens here, is to squat while peeing. So, they get up on the toilet, stand on the seat, and squat to pee. This means footprints, plus piss everywhere.

The women who are next in line usually aren't too happy about this, unless they're squatters themselves, in which case, they're probably indifferent.

What's wrong with washing your feet in the sink?

I do it

The feet thing... I know a lot of colleges and unis have a room set aside as a prayer room.

There's an islamic thing, before saying prayers, you have to do your ablutions (wuzu/wudhu), which includes washing hands, face, and feet...

Do you have a number of muslims and a prayer room? If so, that'll probably be why you've got girls washing their feet in the basins.

Don't know the way round it? If there's a significant number, and it's causing a significant problem, maybe the answer is to convert one of the hand basins into a low level basin with a butler's/belfast sink... they'll still wash their feet in the basins before prayers, no matter how many signs are put up saying they shouldn't, unless the college provide more appropriate facilities.

Ann, there is a prayer room but there are toilets and showers right next to it to be used specifiacally for the washing before prayers. I teach ESOL so about 80% of my students are muslim. The college are very aware of this esp during Ramadan etc. The toilets I'm talking about are the ones outside my office which are located miles from there otside the English classrooms.
The basins are tiny, just about big enough to fit a single foot in. This means that not only are there great big bloody footprints all over the place, there is water all over the floor. This combined with the reason for the

'Please keep the toliet seat clean and dry' and about 30 girls all pushing each other when you go in make them fairly unpleasant. Call me old fashioned!

My brother used to clean toilets for a living, he said women usually made far more of a mess than men.

Some people are just jealous coz they can't even get their feet to the sinks

I used to have an entire sponge bath in the Asda toilets when I lived on the seafront in Brighton. Shaved in there too! Best part though was the news agent bit was right next to the stairs so I always had todays paper to read on the toilet for nothing, just as long as I put it back afterwards My mate used to bring his toddler in and actually bathe him in the sink.

Hmmm, not true in my (admittedly limited) experience of men's toilets, although some dirty lady did leave a big shite in the sanitary bin next to a clean, unblocked, perfectly usable bog once.

I too was thinking of starting a work toilets thread.

By far the best toilets I have dumped in were the toilets in Lovells, the lawyers firm, in London. Stylish, well maintained rooms. Modern designer pans. Soft paper. Full length doors which create an almost soundproof and private space in which to unload. Choice of soaps, and, most importantly, a choice of hand drier or paper towels.

They are blocked AGAIN today.........

Somebody is really not well

Guys

The toilets are blocked again and are out of use.

Again there is a lot of toilet paper down there. Please do not stuff it with toilet paper - if the bowl if full when you get to it flush it before you use it and add more toilet paper.

thanks
