Is it unhealthy to sit right next to a bathroom all day long?

So in all seriousness, is this a single-seater situation? If so, how about asking the boss to invest in one of those expensive Japanese toilet seats that masks sound and reduces odors and all that?

Op here. Definitely sounds funny, but ugh it sucks!!! It's two little bathrooms and they both have vents in the ceiling. I'm definitely going to ask for an air purifier. And maybe see if it can be made mandatory that whoever is last to poop, keep the door shut and vent on after

Would it be impossible to light a match in there?
I absolutely have to light a match every time dh spends time in the bathroom and nothing gets rid of the poop stench better than one of those big long match sticks, just light it and shake it out. Smells gone. Although then it smells like something is burning but that is so pleasant compared to the alternative.
Maybe put a box of those in the bathroom? If allowed. May not be though.

At my former job (very small business, 5-6 employees) one co-worker had the office across the from the only bathroom. It was an old building with no vent system. My coworker was so tired of hearing and smelling everything that occurred in the bathroom.

Then we moved to a shiny new office with twice the space. Before we moved we looked at the layout and picked offices. My coworker got... the office across from the bathroom, but fortunately it had a vent system so she didn't mind. Our boss would always complain that people were wasting electricity by leaving the vent on. One day he yelled "Who keeps leaving the f---ing fan on?!" and my coworker yelled back "ME, because I'm tired of smelling ass all day long!" He didn't bring it up again.

Why did that coworker keep getting the worst seat? They failed to kiss ass?

No, we were grouped in offices according to what we did, so she was with the other people in her department, who chose that office as their own. When she came to the company (in the first space), they already had the office across from the bathroom and her desk just happened to face toward it rather than away. If she turned it away it would have been harder for her to take notes on the computer etc during all their meetings. Just circumstance. We all kissed ass equally.

Spray lysol every time someone exits the restroom... directly IN their direction. Or install an automatic motion activated sensor thing that dispenses lysol. Staples sells them.

If the smells are that bad, it probably isn't properly vented. Is there a building inspector/health inspector to whom you could report this?

Thats the weird thing, it does have an air vent in the ceiling that comes on with the light. Our building is owned by some really rich guy who doesn't care about his renters, supposedly.

just because a noise starts up when the light comes on doesn't mean it's actually sucking the air out of the building. Seriously, talk to your boss about it, brain storm some solutions. Look into a fan that blows air away from your desk for starters.

That sounds so degrading, having to hear everyone pissing, farting, and shitting all day. What is the most disgusting experience you have witnessed while sitting at your desk?

OP - I want to know this too. Has anyone come out with toilet paper on their shoes? or anything worse?

For your information, asshole, I am nice

You know how I recognize all the truly nice people? They're the ones calling other people assholes.

Admit it: You deserve the shit seat, OP.

Two words: ionic breeze.

Point it at the door. Also, I'd talk to the boss about medical grade biological deodorizers (3Mmakes some good ones) so that at least you only have one smell to worry about and put a ban on all the other cans of spray people use. I'd be were more worried about those chemicals.
