A rather indelicate post follows…
I think it’s really disgusting when you go to the toilet and are met with the remains of someone else’s presence. In some situations (eg some public toilets) it’s difficult to leave things the way you might like, but if there’s a toilet brush provided, how hard is it to make sure the bowl’s clean after you’ve finished? I think it’s just common courtesy.
At work I make sure that everything’s clean when I leave, so when I find that someone else hasn’t bothered, it’s really annoying. It’s not my job (or the cleaner’s for that matter) to clean up your shit - you’re an adult for goodness’ sake, do it yourself.
I was tempted to put a note on the inside of the door, but I refrained. There aren’t many women where I work, so it’s not exactly easy to leave an anonymous note!

That is incredible annoying alright! Especially at the end of a long day!

Thanks for letting me know, Stevie… I’m not sure how to fix it yet, but I’ll try!

I think it’s a problem with IE’s interpretation of the CSS box model. It measures from the wrong point. This means that when it is viewed in standard complient browsers, it looks all funny! I’ll have a look at the CSS tonight for you if you want, maybe send you a new version tomorrow? Only if you want to of course

It’s probably the men who are the culprits. hetero guys are like animals

Now now. Every one of us is capable of leaving skids behind!
I must admit though, people who do not flush the toilet etc really REALLY bug me!

That would be great, Stevie, thanks! I tried to fix it last night but obviously it didn’t work
I don’t have Netscape at home so I can’t test it there. I don’t know anything about CSS anyway.
It’s a women’s toilet, JR, although I know that some men do use it. But it only occurs when a particular female is at work… But from what I’ve heard I’m glad I don’t have to use the men’s toilet here… yuck.
I know everyone’s capable Rich, but my point is that everyone is capable of cleaning it up! I do, why can’t everyone else?
Thanks Kissyfur!!

I had a look at the CSS last night and to be honest, I’m stumped! It doesn’t look like anything is wrong with it. Maybe my NS7.x isn’t working right. I’ll have another look tonight.

As horrid as it sounds after going to an all girls school and seeing the mess they left behind, skid marks don’t phase me too much. But still not a nice thing to see. It is feral stuff. Would hate to use their toilet at home.

I went to an all-girls school, too, Pookie, and I don’t remember the toilets being too bad… maybe it varies with schools!
Never mind, Stevie, I’ll have another look tonight and hopefully sort it out. Thanks anyway, I appreciate it!

you know, i had to toilet brushes in my last place… and i left one behind for the new tenants… not thinking that two toilets would mean that two toilet brushes would be ‘convenient’ for those skiddy moments…. guess i’ll be buying another one

But that’s ok, because now you’ve got the perfect excuse to buy a cool stainless steel one
If toilet brushes can be described as cool…

When I was little, my grandma used to tell me to crouch over it, and I had no idea how because my legs were too short! So I just put plenty of toilet paper on the seat instead.

Enjoyed your site:
I’ve been concerned with the heated discussions I’ve overheard…over the years about toilet seat etiquette (up-or-down).
……and it seemed to me that the fairest for all would be to lower the lid…. !
I now make small tent style paper signs for the bathroom to convince people to lower the lid on the toilet for (good feng shui) which appeals more often than not to the feminine gender, but men also like some of the limericks I offer.
I also make some for the institutional lidless variety……a little more pointed in phrase and more about cleanliness ; these adhere to the wall with double-stick poster tape.
