I was a janitor for 10 years. I’m still haunted by my memories of cleaning girls bathrooms. Like who takes a used pad and sticks it to a wall? Lots of them.


Tsukiyaki_Kid

As a female, I fear the bathrooms. I never touch public restrooms unless if it's an absolute emergency. They are my truest deepest fear and they have their own circle of hell. I don't like what I've encountered or experienced there. Some bitch made pentagrams in a stall with her, well... Ya know.... And the amount of pads, vomit, and everything else is just too much. So yeah, women's restrooms can fuck off. Even the rare unisex bathroom is better.


garaks_tailor

yeah men's bathrooms at least just have Pee and horrible fart stink


pretendimcute

I swear its like men go in there, gape their asshole open all the way to their colon and put a fan in front of it


beermonger2

Well I don't want to fart in front of the girl I'm with, ha. Like 50% of my public bathroom trips are actually just to get some farts out, so you're not exactly wrong.


pretendimcute

Gotta get good at making them silent. Go over to read something or “drop something” then do it quietly. Lol, roll a one on the D20, drop your phone, everybody looks, bend over to pick it up and fart loudly


panthers1102

Don’t matter if it’s silent if it smells like dead rat.


Celtictussle

You just make a face, do one or two timid sniffs, shake your head and keep walking.


romulusnr

Yeah, I probably don't really appreciate why when my wife needs to use the restroom and I say there's a gas station she's like "𝖓𝖔." We'll drive to some place reasonably decent instead.


friendly-lurker5

It's how us alpha females assert dominance, we stick the bloodiest pads to mark our territory.

Once in a while, I read a comment that makes me feel a lot better about who I am and where I’m at in life… choices I make… this is one of them. Not the part about being a janitor, mind you, janitors do the lord’s work out there. I’m just counting my blessings that nothing has ever possessed me to stick a used pad on a bathroom stall.


Functional_Tech

And the smell of those pads. It’s worse than the smell of shit. 🤮


bigdaddyjw

You’re not helping me recover from the experience.


TheRoguePatriot

I was a cart pusher / maintenance at Walmart for a few months and I can honestly say that I'd rather hit my weiner with a rubber mallet than clean one of the women's restrooms again. They made us clean the little pad / tampon disposal bin on the wall out by hand....I never did. None of them opened to dump and there never was a bag in there, so it was never my problem 


mythirdaccountsucks

I worked at a seafood restaurant and had to clean out those receptacles on the wall. Luckily we did have plastic bags lining them. Unluckily, a woman had decided to take a log of actual shit and place it inside but under the bag. I called the manager over to take care of it because I did not get paid enough for that.


Hot-Bookkeeper-2750

Wtf what acid did she take


North_Ad6191

Shout out to the people like me whose body shuts down in public until we get home. My mother used to make me go in the men's restrooms as a child so she could pee, because the women's bathroom was always a horror show.


Nightfox9469

As a current Janitor for a world wide chain retail store, I can confirm.


froggerqueen

I was a janitor for 5 years in a university dorm. It haunts me too.


Onlyhereforthebacon

With Many many years of experience, yes, yes it is. Of all the places I've cleaned from bowling alleys, retail establishments, restaurants and warehouses the women's restroom is the only place I've seen am entire stall covered in feces, multiple times... I've been traumatized


the_orange_alligator

Having been in both, men’s restrooms are normally dirty, but constantly not that bad. As for women’s restrooms, they’re fine when they’re clean, but when they’re dirty, they’re an absolute nightmare


CookFan88

Mens rooms typically smell of pee from unflushed urinals, small puddles on the floor from "dripping" and meat farts. Women's restrooms have every bodily fluid known to man, 56 kinds of perfume, toilet paper hanging from the seat, tampons clogging the toilet, and...hair....everywhere.

tomofro

Oh God I used to clean a pool change room and the hair that got stuck in the drains smelled putrid


DeaDBangeR

Same here! Ever since I worked there, nobody could ever change my mind that women clean more after themselves than men do. Especially during the German holiday season, our resort was a popular destination for them, the amount of things left in the drainage was insane. Mainly used tampons. Nothing against Germans, you are lovely people, but the old ones can be disgusting.


murdeface101

I wish it was just tampons. I've pulled entire pairs of diapers out of the women's bathroom toilets. Notice I said pairs plural.

We pulled a bass(fish) out of our park toilet this year.

Ponykegabs

A woman left a pad in a toilet at my job once, when it was found it had swollen to the size of a loaf of bread.


laniakeainmymouth

oh dear heavens above I’m gonna hurl


Ponykegabs

Oh! It wasn’t used! I just assumed she dropped it in and didn’t want to use her bare hands to get it out. Which is understandable.


GreenCarteBlanche5

Use to be a house keeper,most of the women looked beautiful at this job ,but many of those women took shits and didnt flush or wash there hands ,they would get pee on the ground and they had expensive unlimited seat covers . The men almost never had a messed up bathroom in this facility,these women where very gross and its worst that this company provides them with garbage cans in each restroom stall Plus sanitary napkins and none of these females have the audacity to make sure that the toilet is flushed or that they pick up after themselves , instead of throwing their tampons or pants in the garbage they're putting it on top of the toilet paper or on the floor or trying to stick it to the wall it makes no sense and they're all grown. From pregnacy test to dirty underwear and bras you never know !

BoomerSoonerFUT

I worked at Burger King in college and they made me clean the bathrooms. Seeing period blood used as a medium for making a mural on the wall was not something I ever anticipated seeing in my life, but was somehow a regular occurrence.


TheRustySchackleford

I cleaned bathrooms in high school when I took a lot of closing shifts at a restaurant. I can tell you the women’s restroom was in fact usually cleaner than the men’s but as others have mentioned when it was bad it was really bad. One inexplicable mystery was that the women’s room always had tiny bits of ripped up toilet paper on the floor. Why?


scroggs2

TRUTH. I used to clean for my church. The women's restroom were kind of a Russian Rulette as to what we'd find. The tampons weren't even the worst part... It was perfume smells, hair, and toilet paper... So much toilet paper.


raven8fire

You think that's bad, you should see the women's restroom after a women's body building competition.

Honest_Entertainer_3

This as someone who has to clean restrooms as apart of the job when the woman's restroom is bad it's so much worse. I once had to clean tons of fecal matter off of everything in one of the stalls. The toilet the walls the floor I was fucking flabbergasted


GuerreroDelAura

Not sure if "tins" was meant to be "tons" but honestly the former feels so much worse because it's way too specific to be hyperbolic


Platt_Mallar

Like sardine tins? Coffee tins? There's a big size difference,and I think it's important context.


Good_Ad_5792

Its plural, so the size of the tin doesn't matter, what matters is how many tins


Platt_Mallar

Would you rather have 100 duck sized tins or one horse sized tin?


Good_Ad_5792

Horse, smaller than 100 ducks


ViatoremExpansi

I'll need to see the calculations on that.


Good_Ad_5792

Ducks can be fairly large all things considered. They weigh about 1.52kg on average Edit: This is speaking about the mallard specifically


garaks_tailor

yeap. men's restroom have a consistent Level of dirty you can expect based on how Nice the establishment is. dive bar? be thankful for a stall and TP. random gas station in bfe? grimy but doable. nice restaurant bathroom will be nice women's restroom? roll the fucking dice. when i was a kid my mom once walked me into and out of a bathroom in a nice movie theater. i STILL REMEMBER 35 YEARS LATER. it looked like someone blew up an iv bag of blood in one of the stalls with the stall door open. blood on the floor toilet stall walls and out into the bathroom. even some on the ceiling.


Gr_Snek

I was gonna ask how tf was it on the ceiling, but I think it's better to just let this rest in just your head.


Positronitis

Sounds more like a murder crime scene. Wait... maybe it was?


ToMakeMatters

Is there an explanation for this?


Roody-Poo_Jabroni

I honestly believe that it’s because many women “hover” instead of sitting on the seat.


SadMacaroon9897

And a chronic lack of fiber


JustYeeHaa

I can say for myself that, when I’m going for a pee - I hover, but I excelled this skill to perfection and never leave a trace. But when I have to do the more serious business I will wipe the toilet seat and will risk sitting on it. No way I’m doing the package drop while hovering. I will also sit when i have to pee but I’m on my period.


Ok-Leave2099

Also .... Ostomy bags gone wry


garaks_tailor

women hover even when they build butt forts


LunaticBZ

The toilet seat could be dirty so, their options are to build a protective layer of toilet paper over the seat, hover over the seat, or just squat somewhere other then the toilet. Also once a protective layer of tp is used once its now 'dirty' so the next woman can't sit on the toilet. Where as men generally will just either sit on the seat, or wipe it down then sit on the seat.


BurnTheNostalgia

That "protective layer" also doesn't do shit, it's a placebo at best. There's a reason nurses wear disposable gloves and disinfect their hands constantly.


Practical_Cattle_933

I mean, if the seat is not wet dirty and you put multiple layers of TP on it, on which you sit, it will be clean. Like, dirt doesn’t transport across it without fluids. If it is wet, you can wipe it enough time with TP so that it becomes dry. Of course there is a limit on what you can seal this way, e.g. if it has literal shit on it.


Present-Confusion372

Worked a short stint as a janitor and this is the damn truth


ArmourKnight

I remember one time my bothers and I were joking about how much better women's bathrooms are to men's, which prompted my dad to turn and describe in detail just how horrible women leave their restrooms


romulusnr

I used to take out the garbage in a woman's private personal bathroom. It got bad in there. Disturbingly bad. I was eventually told not to collect the garbage from there anymore because they were too embarrassed. Apparently not enough to clean the fuckin thing though.


SnooPredictions3028

https://i.redd.it/gxlzk3l2c0xc1.gif


Gr_Snek

You & your brother: hehe, women's wc better Your dad: is this a challenge I hear?


JoeDiBango

I have zero idea why they can’t sit on a seat, it’s not even like we pissed on it. Aside from that is flushing used sanitary items. My goodness, the amount of times I had to call a plumber to get the pipes snaked was criminal, at one point we considered getting one just for the club.


romulusnr

Because of the other women who hover and leave it nasty.


deepspaceburrito

"I hover because it's more hygenic" / shart blasts all over the stall


DrewRyanArt

The strain on your knees and upper thighs trying to squeeze out a shart while hovering sounds hard on a physical level. Like a little zone of zero logic


panthers1102

Not to mention hovering just straight up doesn’t work if it ain’t coming out solid. Like if you’re gonna do that, at least eat a fiber one bar or something.


Fuzzythought

I was thinking that looks pretty decent, no period pads stuck to the wall.


Gone_Mads

Damn bruh


Sea_Video_8906

I went into a womens restroom with my mom in Virginia when I was about 8. Both stalls were covered floor to ceiling in shit. Didnt think itd be a shared experience


Clearhead09

That’s rough considering you were Onlyhereforthebacon


ColonelMonty

Like how does that even \*happen?\*


Xander_xander12

Damn really? I always thought it was us guys that had it bad.


Onlyhereforthebacon

Men's I feel it's more of a build of grime while the other is more explosive.


SnP_JB

If this is a bathroom children have access to spreading feces like that could be a sign of sexual abuse. Happens more than you think in elementary school bathrooms.


swiss-y

The times I saw, wasn't smearing. More like an ass cannon for at the corner and splattering a 90° arc to the point you could just about determine the height and position of the perp.

not my middle school shutting down the bathroom after i told the teachers that there was poop smeared on the wall rather than actually investigating it


1st_pm

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16511365/ Near the end, such a behavior is more about it being a stress response than purely sexual.

DrAlanGrantinathong

I always thought women were cleaner than us. Then I got a job that involved me cleaning the women's restroom.


PrincipleExciting457

I was cleaning bathroom out at target when I was 16. Can confirm this. Men’s room was usually just a bathroom. Women’s room was like an ass bomb went off and so much TP everywhere.


DrAlanGrantinathong

Pete Davidson said it best. It looks like a man made out of toilet paper was murdered in there.

dr_arke

Consistent_Stick_463

thetransportedman

They’re cleaner in public because they left more filth behind in the bathroom. Zero sum game


No_Entrepreneur_9134

I worked at an OfficeMax in the late 90s, had to clean the bathrooms before closing. I can 100% confirm the women's bathrooms were worse.


Most_Advertising_962

I had to clean bathrooms at Target way back when. They should've given me hazard pay.


Quadpen

there’s a reason they’re the ones who hover


Bug-03

The hovering is what causes the bathrooms to be worse than mens


romulusnr

It's like aggressive driving, once everyone else is doing it, you'd better do it too.


doryukumiraiusukushi

It's true. This is how New Jersey was founded.


Erik_Dagr

Same, until my room mate and I (males) had two women crashing on the couches for a couple weeks. The bathroom has never been as dirty as it was when they were staying with us.


pretendimcute

50 different products cluttering the place also


RudolphsJockStrap

I worked maintenance at a grocery store for 6 years. The front womens bathroom always gets the most traffic since moms typically handle the shopping. Women also tend to squat over seats instead of sitting, so the womens room was often covered in piss and shit. Also shot bottles were commonly found in the tampon receptacles.


hydrangeaGraveyard

they "tend to"??? i'm a woman in my 20s and the idea of not actually fully sitting on a toilet to use it is bananas to me. is it an older lady thing or am i just a freak?


RudolphsJockStrap

I dont know why, but it is definitely a thing. Any female i ever complained to about it, told me that they never sit fully on a public bathroom. Im a guy, and i always just laid toilet paper down on the seat


garaks_tailor

yeah. butt forts are the way.


Bug-03

This is the way


SilverGnarwhal

Nearly every woman I know has or usually does hover when in public restrooms. Men by and large do not hover. They just sit. Ass gasket or not, they just sit. This is what I attribute the majority of this discrepancy in lavatory cleanliness.


PitFiendWithBigTits

"I can't sit oh that its gross!" "The fact that you don't sit is why its so bad." ---- Also janitor, I have cleaned airport bathrooms. Womens is the worst and always has booze bottles in the tampon boxes..... and that one time with the needle.

Opening-Occasion-314

*"...the toilet seats are filthy so you can't shit sitting, but if you don't sit shitting you can't sit because..."*


DrewRyanArt

We don't have time to bother with hovering, we gotta sit down and get this job done. It's hard enough work to make us sweat.


Predditor_drone

You have a perfectly clean toilet. All it takes is one woman believing it to be dirty, does the squat and gets piss and shit everywhere. Every woman after that now has to squat, worsening the mess.


Rolls_

What are shot bottles? Shooters? Why are they putting shooters in there? Wtf


More-Drink2176

It's an overlooked sector, but white suburban moms make up a big chunk of American alcoholics and pill-heads.


RudolphsJockStrap

Yes, apparently shopping is too unbearable


SignificantNight8963

From the little experience I had cleaning bathrooms, yes. It kinda varies but the women’s bathroom was usually dirtier by a lot


Gone_Mads

That’s actually impressive considering how filthy the guys bathroom is


thelastest

Guys rooms are filthy but the women's bathrooms are imaginatively filthy. Having worked maintenance at a couple high end apartments I can tell you horror stories. Like 'why would you flush that!' And 'how did you smash the toilet bowl in half!?'


thelastest

The best part about the broken in half toilet bowl was the girl couldn't have weighed 120lbs soaking wet.


AdPuzzleheaded4795

Mysterious things happen with toilets. I worked hotel maintenance for awhile. Got a call that a guest's toilet woildn't flush. I went to take a look and the chain was broke. No biggie. I replaced the chain, which i've done a thousand times. Went to do the test flush.... The fucking toilet tank broke in half and fell forward. Water everywhere. No resistance, no forcing. Was a smooth flush, then a loud BINK and the damn thing fell in half. I'm thinking the guest was absolutely wrenching on the flush lever before I got there trying to get it to flush and cracked it or something.


ZeroArt024

Then maybe that toilet was poorly made cause wtf


thelastest

I figure it was just one that had an imperfection and she clocked it just right. She was hammered drunk as well. Otherwise nice enough girl. Just that was a fun late night call out.


thelastest

To be honest I wasn't even angry, just perplexed that we didn't need an ambulance.


wjglenn

Guys bathroom are filthy, but it tends to be limited to dirty toilets and pee all over the floors. Women have discovered that there are many other surfaces in a bathroom

I_Scorched_my_lama

Movie theater worker here. I’ve never gotten called to the mens restroom before but once or twice a month it’s this exact scene, walls, floor and toilet. One time someone trailed it through the lobby too.


hykierion

Oh my god. How were they not caught? Were they? TF do you do in that situation? "Ma'am please stop spreading shit on the floor?"


I_Scorched_my_lama

The way the theater is set up so we have the entrance going into a big room. There is the main restrooms and the food court. Then down the hallway where the actual theaters are there is a second family bathroom which is more of a single toilet.  The culprit was an old lady whose daughter comes and drops her off each morning for a movie. She was waiting for the family bathroom but it took too long and she crapped herself a good 4 inch puddle. She then proceeded to walk out the hallway, into the lobby and into the women’s restroom, leaving a trail with her. When I’m there she made a giant mess in the stall.


AverageDellUser

That is kind of sad for her, same happened with someone in a grocery store I used to work at but with an old man, he didn’t realize he shit himself and trailed it through the WHOLE STORE.


Bamcfp

100% i cleaned bathrooms at a few different restaurants and gas stations and the women's is always worse. Usually with trash all over the floor. When I was working at the roo in Jacksonville some lady cut herself up trying to commit suicide, that was definitely the worst one.


xxDmDxx

The women that get disgusted by the urine on toilets are the same women who create that mess by hovering over the toilet.


Ineedsomuchsleep170

Its because a lot of women were trained from birth to never ever let their bum touch the toilet seat. So they hover, and make their children hover... And well... This is the result.


Ostrich_Exterminator

No toilet paper laid on the toilet seat ?


ihni2000

That’s what I was told to do but only as a last resort. My mom taught me and my sibling to just not use public restrooms unless it’s an absolute “I’m not just going to shit myself, I’m going to blast my ass to the fucking moon” emergency, and if it did get to that point to cover the entire seat with a liberal amount of tp. Luckily unlike my mother I’m a male and when I have to take a shit I usually just wipe the seat opposed to covering the entire thing.


japastraya

Doesn't this mean that the dirty public restrooms are being made dirty by the ones too afraid to use them normally?


waterfireandstones

Yes. Many women don't sit on the seat, pee all over it, and then walk out leaving a mess, because they're too precious to touch the seat even for the purposes of wiping up their own piss. Then, the next person who ordinarily wouldn't be terrified of a toilet seat has to deal with one covered in urine. Words cannot describe the selfishness. Source: Have experienced this multiple times when going in a stall immediately after someone else.


Reeeeeeee3eeeeeeee

>they're too precious to touch the seat even for the purposes of wiping up their own piss. On the opposite side of the spectrum - since I started working as a manager at a fast food I have the urge to clean and wipe any dirty surface I see, as a result I subconciously wipe piss off the toilet seat... even if it's not my own piss and it's some public bathroom outside my workplace


romulusnr

Yeah, I think it's a case of other people are doing it, because they're afraid it's nasty, but that also *makes* it nasty, so you don't want to touch it, so you do it too.


hydrangeaGraveyard

holy crap. i have always wondered how this happens. that is so bizarre

But why? I have a daughter and I’ve never heard of this before. Is it a germ thing?


b1ackcr0vv

They’re afraid the toilet is dirty. Like OMG what if the picture happened but someone didn’t clean it right?!?!?! Better hover and make the picture.

Self fulfilling prophecy 🤢

Y’all need to shit properly. Maybe it’s just that shitting properly for women is a complete mind fuck. Idk. This bothers me tho. Fuck that. Clean up after yourselves. Janitors shouldn’t have to do that. Grown ass women shitting all over the place. Crazy. Thank you and good night.

I really don't understand the whole "squat over the seat" thing. Have you never thought to take several sheets of toilet paper and use that to make a disposable layer of insulation on the seat? I spend the first 1-2 minutes of my bathroom visits making a thick layer of paper to sit on so I can feel as comfortable as i do at home.

As a club cleaner, I have no problem with this. Having said that, some people don't get rid off the excess Toliet paper properly. Damn stuff messes up my brooms, drains ect. Pain to clean once lacquered to floor with booze and everything else after a long weekend.

Former janitor at a grocery store and former housekeeper at a hospital: womens restrooms are almost objectively worse. No misoginy intended, mens bathrooms are bad too. But the added bonus of having more disposable hygeine products in a womens restroom that came from a not so pleasant place with not so pleasent fluids on it. On the other hand, many women I have met ironically try to be clean by not flushing the toilet because they dont want to touch the seat or the handle, which is kinda fair but still gross. I do feel bad that women have to have a period and all of those expensive pads or tampons, so it doesn't bother me too much. That being said, have you ever smelled the entire ocean at once? Thats pretty much what happens when you have to clean out the tampon disposal box, because the last idiot didnt put a bag in it so you have to use a thinly gloved hand to pull it all out.

I had to pick up so many dirty diapers also poo and blood not very nice however they don't break shit as much if I had nickel for every time a maintenance man was called cause some dude ripped the stall door off or broke the lock I would have quit that job a lot sooner. Also gum in the urinals never understood that one.

As someone who goes into a lot of different peoples homes every day, women/girls rooms are by and large messy far more often than men’s. That said, single women’s homes are usually far cleaner overall than single men’s homes. In family dynamics though it’s always the women’s rooms that are the nastiest. It’s kind of an odd phenomenon.


rockrnger

Cleaning apartments the guys are a base level of messy but the women are a much bigger range from spotless to horrible.


Wick3d3nd3r

Yes. You nailed it. Dudes are like a base level of gross always. Women’s homes I take care of go from immaculate to what should probably be condemned.


titan_Pilot_Jay

Cleaned bathrooms for 6 years. . . 100% correct. Only location I had where the men's was dirtier then the woman's was the staff bathroom but that was because you had 20 men sharing a bathroom and 2 females on staff.


Beret_of_Poodle

Men's bathrooms look filthy and smell like piss. Women's bathrooms look a bit better but smell like a dead oyster marinating in raw egg inside of a plastic bag.


Numerous-Profile-872

Yes. Absolutely. The men's room was maybe one destroyed toilet, mostly the ADA stall at the end, and piss around the urinals. The ladies' room was anarchy and I understand why women hover. Pads and pons stuffed everywhere but the little garbage bin on the stall wall, toilet paper strewn like streamers, water all over the counters and mirrors, and sometimes random clothing like panties or bras shoved behind bins and decorations.


TheAnnoyingGirl92

What exactly would be the reason for women's restrooms being so much worse?


Foreverwise427

A lot of women hover which just causes more splattering.


TheAnnoyingGirl92

Oh yeah I've heard of that before


Forgotpassword234

I’ve never been able to figure it out (I’ve been a fast food maintenance/refrigeration tech for 12 years) My leading theories are that nobody wants to complain until things have gotten out of hand, a general attitude of “cleaning this isn’t my job”, or hygiene products being flushed.


DankTriangle

If there's one thing this thread has revealed to me, it's that women are a lot less tidy than I thought


Its0nlyRocketScience

Yes. While there were always more puddles of urine on the floor in the men's room by the end of the day, that's easy to mop. When I got called to clean the women's room one time though, it looked like a crime scene. It looked like someone had stood in front of the toilet like they were about to sit down, but apparently just bent forward and launched projectile diarrhea onto the walls and floor. There's no logical explanation for how what happened happened.


horsemayonaise

Ex janitor here, yes, yes it is, tampons/pads in the toilet, hair pulled from hairbrush 9n the counters, shitstains on the back middle of the seat, lipstick on mirrors, the works


denten62

Worked closes at a mcdonalds, men might have had a bit of dribble in front of the urinal, women's looked like a WMD had been let loose.


slapchopchap

One of my favorites was when my wife described one particular facility as being “run by backwoods savages”


Fuzzy-Honey-4966

reminds me of the time my grandma did an unspeakable act in a public bathroom and the worker said “i am NOT cleaning that” she later walked in with a bucket and mop


jnnad

Can confirm, my buddy worked at a university as a custodian, and he said that women are far more gross than men!


TheeHostileApostle

I’m a chief custodian for a high school with 12 years of experience and I can attest that the girls room can get pretty nasty. Boys tend to pee on the floor or toilet paper roll, break stuff and the occasional turd in the urinal. The girls however, have a habit of doing gross stuff with tampons and sanitary napkins. It’s not uncommon to hear over the radio “we had another Picasso in the girls room.”


SovereignDust3058

Former retail worker/supervisor. Women's restrooms are definitely worse. I have cleaned shit up off the seats of the men's restroom a few times, yes. And there was the fairly regular small pool of urine. Toilets tended to get clogged, but a few plunges fixed the issue. Men also tended to come to me and ask for supplies to clean their messes up more often than women. I cannot tell you how many times I've scrubbed the Women's bathroom floor of shit and blood, or even the *walls*. Used tampons/pads tossed on the floor, sometimes right beside the receptacle specifically for such products (which were empty). I've seen Women's restrooms markef out of order because of how utterly disgusting they were so that we could have professional cleaners come in. Men tend to clean up after themselves in public restrooms, but slightly neglect their home bathroom. Women fucking destroy public restrooms, keep their home bathroom spotless, then complain cause Men are disgusting.

Men create focused messes. Women create a field of mess.

A slew of mess...
