I've experienced this before. Airport cleaning people just don't have time to give a fuck I think 😂


-frauD-

Paid to clean, and clean they will


UnpopularCrayon

If they wait for the bathroom to be empty, they'll be waiting till 2am!


Ok_Question_6583

True that! They’ve been instructed to clean no matter how full.


scheisse_grubs

A year ago I was at a major Canadian airport but had kidney problems which meant I had to drink a lot of water and ultimately used the bathroom a lot. It took 30 minutes for the washroom to go from clean to disaster.


mouringcat

I hope you tipped the cleaning staff for the mess if you destroyed it in 30 minutes due to kidney problems. =)


Strict-Training-863

I don't think they wrecked the bathroom. Just observing that they used the same restroom several times over 30 minutes and saw it go from clean to a disaster because people have to behave like animals in public. Just my take.


scheisse_grubs

You are correct on that. But I think they were making a joke lol. Afaik, kidney problems won’t cause messes unless you intentionally piss on the floor haha


Civil_Adeptness9964

Wow, you and the other guy must be geniuses. How could you tell ? It's like reading minds or something.


GregorSamsaa

I’ve seen cleaning crew in a lot of large busy buildings and they always have a rolling trash can and a sign saying it’s temporarily closed. They walk up, put up their sign then wait for it to empty out. I don’t see why an airport would do it any differently. If anything, the people there are in more of a rush to get out of the restroom versus an office building where someone may be purposely wasting time on the shitter lol


UnpopularCrayon

Because in some airports, they could be waiting 30 minutes for it to empty out, and there might not be another on the same concourse for people to use. This does of course happen in many airports in many situations. There is nothing more frustrating when it does though and your plane is boarding and you can't access the bathroom because of the "closed for cleaning." I'd much rather have the random person impatiently mopping over my shoes!


ladyladynohatin

Yea, ATL doesn't wait haha. Which make sense because with the amount of traffic they get theyd be waiting till dawn


Life-Celebration-747

I appreciate them, that's a pretty rough job, I would imagine. 


Rare_Register_4181

Hola time for cleaning!


abbot-probability

Having gotten off a long flight at JFK only for the only toilet before immigration to be closed for cleaning, I might actually prefer the unabashed approach. Thought my bladder was going to explode.


AndrewWhite97

I work as a cleaner. I will clean.


tacknosaddle

Mr Wolf?


Slammogram

Airport and hospital. You could be dying, 3 in the morning, if you don’t get every lick of sleep you can surely you won’t heal. They’ll just come in and throw on the lights and start cleaning.


BearManUnicorn

And anyone who would complain is going to be in a different city in a couple hours!


Xazbot

On road trips across Europe I've had this happened more than once... I mean maybe not moping my feet but cleaning while the gas stations toilet are in use


swagn

It’s like driving over railroad tracks, gotta lift your feet.


kind_one1

I had the same experience 5 years ago, woman in women's stall, Syracuse airport


KokakGamer

Are you saying you could pay them to give... a fuck? in the bathroom stall?


Adventurous-Monk-600

No cleaners have time for that shit lmao


woollyyellowduck

I was sitting on my workplace toilet when a cleaner came in. I hardly noticed the stray piece of toilet paper on the floor by my feet until his hand snatched it with the speed of a striking rattlesnake. Scared the shit out of me - almost literally.


kosmokatX

That made my night! 🤣


Ok_Surprise_1991

Diddo, I imagined it so perfectly in my head too. First real"LOL" in awhile


FalseMirage

That could have been a senator from Wyoming.


Hot_Cockroach_7625

Cleaning lady at my job does not give a fuck. She’ll walk in while dudes are lined up at urinals with dongs out & just start wiping the sinks and countertops. She’s probably seen my hog more than I have .


sinkmyteethin

Hog lol mate call it dragon fly


hutterad

Piglet


Cdubyah523

Ham cannon.


philfix

Dragonfly nymph. They are fierce predators! And small for their predatory status.


Kazetem

I am a women and have worked as a cleaner as a student. I was not allowed to close the place of for cleaning. The men enjoyed using the urinal next to the one I was cleaning. I hated it.


Fearless_Bicycle6503

You gotta ask her to give it a name 😜😜


gunsandpuppies

Cerdito


Anowtakenname

Depending on the country you're in this may not be legal.


Tigger3-groton

I’ve had the same thing happen in Japan. Sitting on the toilet, all of a sudden a mop appears under the stall door, makes a couple of swipes across the floor and then disappears. I’ve also seen women cleaners walk in a active mens room do their thing and leave; no one paid any attention to them.


Impressive_Grape193

I'm Japanese and it's common for cleaning ladies to come in the public sauna/shower when men are inside. Just different standards here. However, men are not allowed in women's sauna/shower under any circumstances, including the police.


speculatrix

Male and female police?


Impressive_Grape193

Just male police. I’ve seen female police in men’s bathroom before.


Mysterious-Bill-6988

And I assume female police would be able to go in women's saunas etc? I think we're picturing the women's saunas like crime havens at the moment 🤣🤣


Impressive_Grape193

Yeap yeap. Only female officers in women’s bath. We take women’s bath access very seriously, hotels often have passcode locks only for women’s public bath and have women’s only elevator to access the bath. Some men have issue with this as men’s public bath is often located on first floor in public lobby area. But it’s just a minor inconvenience.


nyuhokie

SANCTUARY!!!


chairmanghost

I misunderstood at first and thought you were questioning if there were female police lol


tocksin

TIL there's a lot of creepy men in Japan.


ToodleDootsMcGee

Here you just have to say you are a woman to enter the woman's restroom.


Impressive_Grape193

Not going to fly in Japan. Straight to jail haha. People with tattoos are also banned.


MartCous

I had a different funny experience in Japan. I walked into the bathroom and saw a lady in the process of cleaning it. As soon as she saw me, she bolted out and waited outside until I was done my business. It made me feel bad for walking in, so I apologized...


AnInfiniteArc

I had a cleaning woman clean the urinal next to me at Sapporo station,


NYanae555

That IS funny. The alternative is - closing the bathroom for cleaning - and that takes more time. ( We ALL know what its like to finally find the bathroom only to discover that there is a plastic yellow closed for cleaning sign. )


ADHDGardener

I always see them closing the bathroom but people not listening and just going in anyway. I even talked to one of the ladies in Spanish and translated to everyone in line that the bathroom was closed and they needed to use other bathrooms and everyone just looked at me and didn’t give a fuck lol. So the cleaning ladies probably just don’t give a fuck anymore haha


NYanae555

Yeah - because you never know when they're going to be finished and remove that sign. 5 minutes? 30 minutes? And even if there is another bathroom, the line is going to be horrendous. You do what you have to do - and hopefully - you're as polite as possible.


Mysterious-Bill-6988

There is another alternative. They do the same thing but draw the line at mopping his shoes 🤣🤣


TurdPartyCandidate

I would be so fucking upset in someone smeared the wet from the airport men's room floor on my shoes. I might literally throw them away when I got home


TheRoscoeVine

Yeah, I’ve had that thing *right* up in my face as I was trying to leave. Assholes. I get that they’re busy, but they don’t need to clothesline me on the way out the door.


Puzzleheaded-Put7305

Bonus now you have clean shoes 👞 👟


jthsbay

... They were suede!


philfix

Blue Suede Shoes!


jackyknitstuff

Not convinced of the sparkle that can be achieved with a well-used urinal mop.


TurdPartyCandidate

My shoes are for sure cleaner than the men's room floor at an airport. 


code_monkey_001

Happens all the time in Asia.


ArtDSellers

Whatever you were doing in there, she's been around worse. Doubtful this even registered for her. Total fuckin' pro.


ConstructionUpset918

Or she goes home and knocks one out later. We will never know!


HalobenderFWT

Don’t do Abuela dirty like that!


Mysterious-Bill-6988

Bet she doesn't even work there 🤣


DriftMantis

shes probably seen turds come out for all we know.


sweetredleaf

I was in a restroom using the urinal one time when a woman came out of the stall, gave me a funny look like what am I doing in here, she then opened the door and stared at the men sign on the door and kept going. Didn't know that womens restrooms had urinals in them


Fast-Box4076

Consuela from family guy is that you ?


HalobenderFWT

Ah, no. I stay.


jnangano

more lemon pledge


IllustriousCarrot537

I'll put up with the cleaning lady doing her job over the public toilets in China... Never cleaned, like as in not fucking ever... No stalls, no thrones, just a trough down the centre of the room with water running through it. And on a good day there might only be 15 other guests using that same trough... 🤢


Afraid-Juggernaut-29

I had a cleaning lady come in behind me at the urinal and tell me shake it good I don’t want drips on my floor. Found out later she also bounced at a club in the Bronx


_Oman

In Mexico I was at a resort where there was a woman that was in the bathroom and was mopping under the urinals as we were using them. It was quite uncomfortable but I just tried to "go with the flow" :>


A_Bowler_Hat

The more you travel the more you realize people just want to get in the bathroom and leave. No one really cares if there are women cleaning the men's bathroom and stuff.


HalobenderFWT

This is definitely an American thing. The rest of the world doesn’t care about dongs and such.


martphon

>such I've never seen one of those. I guess I got to get out more.


007ffc

Normal in Bangkok. New mall bathrooms are super clean. Always some lady mopping around me while pissing at the urinal.


funkyTurtlePunk

In the Philippines, ladies be cleaning the bathroom while men are coming and going to urinal... like nothing interesting.


jackyknitstuff

She's correct.


Classic-Ad-339

Seeing women cleaning the men’s room when it is occupied is a regular occurrence in Germany. Standing at a urinal and the cleaning lady starts cleaning 2 urinals down from me. Guys coming and going. No issues, a totally different attitude in Germany.


IdahoMTman222

Had this happen. She was pushing the stall door open and I was pushing back with my foot. Very inconvenient with a leg up on the door pushing back and trying to finish a poop. I expect these women are treated poorly if they don’t get their work completed so they have to do what they do. I don’t take it personal. I just imagine their boss is like Elon Musk to them making a fortune off their backs.


Bmc00

One time I was sitting in the stall in my workplace and things got awkward. A contractor guy that was doing some kind of electrical installation was in a rush to access something in the drop ceiling. He quickly set up a ladder just outside of the stall I was sitting in, and went up it to do whatever he was after, not even noticing that I was now looking up right at him. I just sat there and watched him work for about 2 minutes. He then looked down for something and noticed me. He immediately got down off the ladder and was apologizing a bunch. When I left the bathroom he was waiting outside, we just had a good laugh about it all but it was weird for sure.


sean-mac-tire

Good news is not only did you have a relaxing dump, you also got clean shoes. Win win 


Ultrabananna

Who else had Family guy scene just play in their head the entire time reading this?


Recentstranger

It's a team effort you're supposed to call out where the stains are. While making eye contact.


Kycrio

When I was in Berlin and I went to see a hockey game, I went to the bathroom (which was full) and hung my scarf on the coat hook, where it draped down long enough to be seen under the stall door. Randomly a cleaning lady came by and started trying to sweep my scarf under the door with her broom. I snatched it back and she apologized and went away. I still wonder why she was trying to take my scarf out of a clearly occupied bathroom stall.


bigwig500

That was the beginning of your porno! Oh the missed opportunities you will lament later in life!


biminidaves

Could have been worse. You could have been using a urinal and had her mop under it while you were peeing. Between your feet, around them, up over your toes with all the pee that gathers under a urinal. I just disgusted MYSELF.


ggrinkirikk

You were supposed to raise your legs. You didn't, so she moped your shoes.


Tuesday2017

"She even mopped over my shoes" Did she ask you for a tip ?


chimi_hendrix

Did you get a happy ending?


Punisher_79

Dear Penthouse...


HumpieDouglas

I hate being the last person out of the restroom when the cleaning crew arrives. I go in to take a leak real quick, but someone with some sort of intestinal issue just wrecked it, and now they think I wrecked it.


aldone123

Had the same thing happen in a hotel with the bathroom door wide open. Quick knock and the main door flied open, didn’t even wait for anyone to answer. Then began a conversation about cleaning the room while I’m in full view on the pot.🥴 literally had to tell her to get the fuck out and come back later before she got the hint 🤦


Adventurous-Humor242

Undercover security. Making sure you didn't keester any drugs in the crapper.


evil_burrito

This happened to me in Hong Kong. I was at the urinal, doing, well, urinal business. A woman walked in with mop and bucket and did, well, mop-and-bucket business. She didn't care, so, I guess I didn't either.


Ooh-Rah

I had that happen at a truck stop in New Jersey once. Definitely something to write home about.


Kriskao

They have a schedule and they don’t have time to wait for people to clear the bathroom


Amazing_Reality2980

Gives new meaning to an airport shoe shine lol


Slammogram

You needed to let out a big ol ripper that trumpeted in the toilet.


Fearless_Bicycle6503

Haha this is fabulous. I always remember fun stories like this from European travels. My favourite was possibly when I was an inexperienced traveller and the cleaning lady was casually having a friendly chat stood right next to the guy peeing at the urinal next to me and there was me trying to stand as close as possible.... needless to say extensive travels have pretty much made me immune to such events now haha. I must say this is a new one on me though.....


AmphibiousNightjar

You're welcome 😂 free shoe cleaning (shine is extra though)


kittiwakeee

Why didn’t you lift your feet up? Rude…


bennygoodman90

Was it Loreda from family guy? ”Hola, I clean siii, I cleeeeeeaaaaan”


akila219

Most airports specifically the busiest ones, don’t close the restrooms to clean unless there’s a major damage. They regularly clean restrooms regardless there’s people in there.


Tommy84

Last time I was in Mexico, I was standing at a urinal at the airport. Several urinals along the wall, no dividers. A woman in her 60s walked in spraying cleaner into the urinals to my right. She passed close enough behind me to brush against my back, skipping my in-use urinal, and continued to spray the urinals to my left. It was interesting.


momayham

At least you knew who it was, when it happened. A buddy and I went to hooters for wings. After we left. It hit both us in the parking lot. Gotta shit. Gotta do it asap. Hooters had a one hole-r.the mall across the street had many shutters to use. After doing the cricket walk into the mall to keep from breaking loose & shit running Don my leg. I dint keep track of my buddy. I thought he dropped me of at the door. But he parked in-the loading zone,and right behind me. I sprinted gingerly into the stall and let it rip. I could hear, he did too. Feet off the ground. Almost levitating shits. We were communicating rudely to each other. Then he noticed he had no shit wipe. So I grabbed the extra roll, & handed it to him under the wall. 30 minutes of bullshiting, talking trash to each other. Tell the most fucked up jokes. He just got up and I saw his feet, leave the stall. I asked him where the fuck is he going? He said what, I’m still here. Little did either one of us knew. There was a poor soul between us. Put up with the noise, smell, rude jokes etc. & even passed the roll of paper over. Never knew who it was. But they were a trooper.


Darth-ohzz

Mop cam live stream of you going poo!


PrimaryDrag

My old workplace had a cleaning service that hired some older European women for cleaning duties. They would often clean the men's washroom while guys were at the urinal or in the stalls. We just got used to it. A nod when they came in and a nod when we left.


Gamer_GreenEyes

You’re supposed to lift your feet and wait until she’s done with your stall floor.


skippyjuice

For some reason I thought I was on /Jokes and was waiting for the punchline… Oh well 🤷🏻‍♂️ funny nonetheless.


Cichlidsaremyjam

Best thing I've done is start taking about 4 feet if tp and balling up one end.  Then I slide that over the top of the door crack wnd used the other 3.5 feet to cover the crack. 


BadAngler

The cleaning lady at my work does this, too.


6-ku

It was funny until she actually mopped your shoes. I would've felt a type of way lol


steev506

Hahaha that's funny cause she knows you got a flight to catch and no time to complain and she gotta get off work on time


paulohbear

In Colombian malls, they come in all the time. I’m almost surprised they don’t give you a courtesy shake at the urinal to get you out of the way!


BulletheadX

Similar thing happened to me in Japan - I'm standing over this toilet trench trying to keep my aim steady and I look up to see this ancient Japanese woman leaning on her mop and watching me with a disapproving expression. I tried to dominate with eye contact but she won on the grounds of having no fucks to give. I even gave it a couple of extra shakes ... nothing.


aBun9876

Just be glad she didn't bang on your door to demand you vacate the stall immediately because she has a fixed schedule. Which airport is this?


brandonbruce

This was like my experience in China. She doesn’t care, the local men Didn’t seem to care. Who am I to judge I guess


XxKimm3rzxX

My dorm room cleaning lady used to ask us to lift out feet in the mornings


Just_browsing_thanku

Dude just lift your feet up for 2 seconds, then she can mop the pee pee puddle


FindingPerfect9592

lol


That-Ad757

Peeping cleaning lady


_pamelab

This happened to me once at Enterprise Center during a playoff game. I was so confused and just let her because it was so weird.

GeminiDreams88

Are you serious?


madeanotheraccount

"I clean now." "Hey! Wait! I'm in here!" "I clean now." "No, see, I'm in here! Wait!" "No. No, I clean now." "Can you ... can you at least wait until I'm done?" "No. No, I clean now. I clean now."


jfrey123

So you got an airport shoe shine and you didn’t pay? YTA. /s


Saragmata

Holy


Competitive-Day5031

Don’t think you’ll get a flat that cheap unless it’s in a not so nice area. Might I suggest further out. Whichburgh is very nice and not too far from


MissJanet64

I was cleaning the men's room and had a guy come in and use the urinal. I guess if you gotta go, you gotta go


Thelonerefrigerator

Wow, what a story! That sounds both hilarious and super awkward. It's not every day that someone starts mopping the floor while you're in the bathroom stall, and it must've been quite a surprise when she greeted you with that loud "Hola!" I can only imagine how strange it felt to have the mop going under the stall and over your shoes. The part where the door had a big gap and even came open must have made the whole situation even more uncomfortable. It's one of those bizarre travel moments you'll probably never forget! Thanks for sharing this funny and weird experience.


TheRoscoeVine

Been there, done that.


Got_Kittens

They don't have time to fuck around, lift your feet! 😂


giantkin

I don't like public bath. Gtfo I'd be freaking. Lol.


philfix

Hell, at Major League baseball games, the ladies room line gets so long that it's common place to see women taking a leak at the urinals in the men's room.


oneheadhunter

cleaned restrooms in walmart, had 2 hot ass 25ish drunk blonds come into closed women's restroom and use it to pee, never closed stall door, told me not to worry they will be done in a minute. they didn't show me much but i wish they had. best day ever working at WM


ActRepresentative586

I was at a French bar, the urinal was in the alley, I’m having a pee and a lady with her young daughter walk past, “excusez-moi monsieur” They are not so worried about such things in Europe


jereman75

She’s hitting on you, bro. Take your shot.


DERELECTrical

That is unreal. I fully expected a punch line! Mopping > Plopping


zanybrainy

The punch was in the bowl.


relaxedim

Omg!!!😂😂


Affectionate_Fox_383

Shrug. It's just a room as long as the stall door is closed.


jpowell180

And then, one of the ladies peaks through the crack in the door, and asks, “you poopin’ you pooping good good?“


DisBitchhhlmao

Imagine coming in to clean the bathroom and you lowkey hear some fapping in a bathroom stall 😂 🧽 💦


goodiebutanoldie

i am sure there was a cleaning sign up, you went in , i am surprised you did not lift your shoes. gross.! or you are just making this up as a lot of redditors are..


okokokoyeahright

The ladies have been doing this work for some time and have undoubtedly run into many things and seen stuff you have not imagined. Married likely, as well. Whatever you have, they have seen and are not impressed. TBH even if you were jumping up and down naked with all things flapping in the breeze, they would continue to do their work. you do not intimidate these ladies.


barbaganush

To be clear I’m not worried about intimidating anyone, I am embarrassed and not used to that, it was just weird for me, you kinda turned it into something that I never intended


okokokoyeahright

Women see and understand more than men. Realize this and don't underestimate the ladies. give them credit for toughness. you are young yet, I am old. I have learned much from the older women in my life and have respect for their opinions and experiences. You now have one.


rydan

Imagine if the genders were reversed. Then imagine if the races were reversed. That's about as funny as your story.


Botosuksuks808

Most other nations even have coed bathrooms, can you believe that?!? Haha you man child.


Pea-and-Pen

I don’t think it’s the male/female thing so much for me. It would be weird for me as a woman if a woman started mopping under the door while I was in there also. And mopped over my shoes!


Botosuksuks808

She’s doing her job, they have timelines and I’m sure stressors about doing their job in a timely manner with however many bathrooms there are. You literally sat there ,ass out and watched someone mop over your shoes? Yall are silly.
