Someone is peeing on the toilet seat at work

[Anonymous]

Let me start by saying, our bathroom is kept spotless, it was just renovated actually so everything is spanking new and high quality. We have someone on staff who spot checks and spot cleans daily and a night crew that does a deep cleaning every evening. The bathroom is not used by anyone besides the women that work here, no one from the public. We are all adults and work in a professional environment, and aside from an occasional family member there are never visitors here.

OK, so me and my coworker are 99% sure we have figured out who is doing this. Here's the scenario, a couple of months ago my coworker asked me if I noticed someone was peeing on the toilet seat and I said no, I hadn't. She said she noticed it and that it started happening right around when Larla was hired. Well a couple of weeks later I went into the bathroom and there was visible piss puddles on the toilet seat. It was disgusting. Just today Larla and I went into the bathroom at the same time. I went into the far left stall and she into the far right stall (there are 3). I waited for her to leave before I came out of my stall, I went and opened the door to the stall she just left (I'm fairly certain she was in the far right stall and not the center stall next to me) and sure enough, there was visible pee puddles on the toilet.

I just dont get why anyone would do this. It's so gross and it's our work, we all have to use this bathroom daily! I could see being messy at some nasty dive bar bathroom but damn, this is like your 2nd home bathroom. Not to mention each stall has a supply of toilet seat liners. But if you must hover why in the Hell don't you clean up, you have to know that piss has hit the toilet seat. As women our aim is never perfect, that's damn near impossible.

So my question, what do we do? My coworker and I thought about putting up a sign in the bathroom, saying what I'm not sure. Something along the lines of please clean up after yourself?? We could always complain to our building manager, but does he really need to be involved in this? WWYD?

This is filthy. Yes I would put a sign up in every stall. Then if it keeps happening, head boss can send an email to all of the women stating the issue (sounds like there aren't that many women who work there). And if that doesn't work, tell Larla that you've noticed it's her.

If you sprinkle
When you tinkle
Please be neat
And wipe the seat

This happened at my office when we had a few new women hires all around the same time and those of us who had been here for years were appalled and were trying to figure out who it was. We put a sign up and thankfully it stopped. Next step would have been an email to all the women and then definitely confronting the one that we suspected.

You're a woman?

Haha welcome to the men's restroom

Do not confront Larla yourself. You can't prove it unless you are in the stall immediately before and after she is there.

Does your office have an HR department? They would be able to discuss the matter with all women diplomatically.

lol our men's bathroom regularly has blood on the floor. The guys complain a lot.

Sounds like she's a germ-a-phobe and refuses to sit down on the seat. Are there no disposable toilet seat covers?

I agree with putting signs in every stall.

Ask facilities to provide seat covers.

Disgusting. Leave a note on the door of the stall she always goes into.

Leave a big sign in the bathroom that asks people to clean up their tinkle.

Tell your editors at the WP, you must be an investigative reporter.

This is par for the course at my work. There are a ton of people so it's never going to get solved. I wipe the seat down half the time (multiple seats, can't expect to go to another stall to find a dry one...).

Seat covers do not help when there are piss puddles.
