There are several reasons to call your workplace the Shitshow, but in some cases, the building you work in is literally an assembly-line of shit. To be more specific, we have such inadequate bathroom capacity that the toilets are in perpetual use. The stalls are used so constantly that I forgot what a cold toilet seat even feels like. You’d think they installed seat warmers.
After lunch, it’s pretty much a guarantee that all of the stalls will be taken. In fact, there is a one hour window that you’re better off avoiding the bathroom all together, if you can hold it. Otherwise, you’ll have to try every restroom on the floor, or even go to another floor, before you find one that’s available. Usually, you’ll find the one with the lock that’s been broken for the past three years. Nothing like taking a dump while holding the door with one hand - thank you maintenance people!
While bathroom capacity is a problem, it doesn’t help that the quality of our cafeteria food can easily make you go several times a day. So even in the afternoon, it’s not uncommon to have to wait for a stall. This steady stream of new “inventory” creates a constant odor that never gets a chance to air out. In addition, the toilets get clogged daily, adding to the odor. Nobody ever tells anyone, not until someone comes along who has the ingenious idea to just keep flushing until it overflows all over the bathroom floor. This happens about twice a week.
Because bathroom capacity is so poor that we’d be better off making reservations, I throw rocks.
