Does every workplace have a phantom poo monster? We had one who regularly used to stuff the male bogs with paper towels and then cack on top of it...and leave. Another time we found a human poo in the smoking shelter - carefully wrapped in bog roll. The facility managers always used to come to the union room and complain. I'm not sure what they thought we could do about it!
I work in an office building and every floor is basically the same except different tenants. One morning I was in early and the mens room on our floor had an appearance that something was slightly wrong. It took me a moment then I realized the surfaces were dirty--the floor, the door between the sinks and toilets, various surfaces that you wouldn't expect to notice anything--but I walked into the toilets anyway, out of habit, when I noticed that it looked like a child had wiped dirty poo fingers on the door to the toilet stall. And the floor. And the door I had just passed through. And around the toilet. When I went back to the sinks I noticed that the trash can smelled, quite obviously because it was filled with paper towels covered in poo. I can only guess what happened but it wasn't too hard to reconstruct the scene. I was filled with horror, then humor, and finally sadness for whomever this event occurred, having massive diarrhea that would make Paula Radcliffe jealous, all over the floor right next to the toilet they were seeking. And either it was out of control coming in or the clean up went south quickly, but they did give an honest effort, at least for someone unable to put these pants back on. Or maybe they did put their pants back on; I didn't see any clothes discarded in the trash but I also didn't dig through it. I'm not sure how this unfortunate person drove home, sitting in feces covered clothing until they arrived home. If that had happened to me I would have taken a day or week off, maybe even tendering my resignation by email. I didn't actually see any evidence suggesting who was at fault, but I did call the building maintenance and tell them there was a serious issue with the mens room on our floor, although I probably should have told them there was [Poor language removed] all over the doors and floors because they sent nobody up to clean it that morning and I eventually went back and cleaned all of the surfaces as best I can with the stuff we have in our office.
