What goes on in men's washrooms is nothing to what I have had to clean up in women's washrooms. I'm not sure why a woman would feel the need to advertise to other women what time of the month it is by pasting those used things to the walls of the stalls.
Thank goodness I've never seen anything like that. It must be a sick person who does something like that.
Actually, I believe I did once and I was very shocked. I could not understand if the person was being cruel to the custodian who should not have to dispose of personal things like that or trying to disturb everyone in general. You have my sympathies, djm. Actually, all custodial workers do.

I used to sub for the custodian when I worked at the Public Library. The thing the astonished me was that, contrary to what I would have thought, the women's rest room graffiti was far worse and much more vulgar than what was in the men's rest room. A lot of my delusions about women were shattered, needless to say.

Too right JG, in my younger days I worked in a working man's club and that was our final job of the saturday night, cleaning out the ladies toilet as our cleaners refused to do it on sunday. We used the fire hose. I guarantee you the gents was as nothing to the ladies. And my god the graffiti was vulgar and libellous and far worse than the gents. When it comes to filthy minds us poor men are no competition.

This is very disturbing.
Tell me about it.

"Items"... Apparently in the stall, anyway. I could plead that I never noticed 'cause I'm a guy and that would explain everything, but the reality is that I almost never use the stall. More TMI, I suppose...

I have to reply both "no" and "yes". It's nearly impossible to differentiate in the case of the mechanic, who I was told, put it up, I'm afraid. In any event, he's a very valued employee, and has gained even more points on my list, not that he needs them.

Ugh....
The mechanics at my garage don't do foul things like that in the stalls (at least not that I can see)...but then again, there are only five of us working there...

Oh, I really do feel sorry for you guys. I have not been in a gents, so I guess I can't compare. I guess I have seen vulgar graffitti, but I just assumed the men's would be worse. I don't think I'm going to launch a research project on it though. I think a lot of women would not be doing things like that though----please don't think we are all that way, many of us keep our vulgar thoughts to ourselves at least .

Well, if he works hard and promotes cleanliness, no further inquiries are necessary.

The gents' bogs at the Tree Inn where I do most of my playing has recently been upgraded. No more pools of p*ss, no more crumbling plaster, the black mould's gone, no more bogies wiped on to the wall. It's all very well but it's bloody ruined the acoustics.

We don't have urinals in our bathrooms in the UK. Heheh! When I was at university in the 60s my college canteen had a particularly bad reputation. On the Botany dept. toilet wall, several blocks away (as you guys would have it) was etched the words "Sh*t hard - it's a long way to the refectory."

Outside the gents in Stratton, near Bude, just underneath the "Gentlemen" sign is another sign which says "No ball games."
