...or "Go use the facilities on your own floor!"
As I've mentioned, our office is getting renovations done. We're getting everything remodeled and that includes the restrooms. Which means that for a few days both the men's and women's rooms are unavailable so we have to go down to the 2nd floor. That in itself isn't a problem. The problem is that several weeks ago, before the renovations started on the restrooms, there was an e-mail notice sent from the building management about people using the restrooms if they weren't on their own floor.
However, it was in regards to the restrooms on the 1st floor because there is one less toilet there than there is on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors (3 toilets per restroom vs 2 women and 1 men on the 1st floor; it's also important to note that they are all handicapped on the 1st floor, so a lot of people like to go there for more privacy than use the ones on their own floors).
Okay...now with that background out of the way, onto the story.
One of my co-works suffers from IBS and I'm sure those on the board who have it or know someone who does, when the urge to go is great, you go. No messing around. Yesterday morning, my co-worker had an attack and ran down to the 2nd floor. She came back about 10 minutes later with someone from one of the offices in tow, chewing her out and going on and on about how dare she disobey the e-mail from the management company, breaking rules, etc. and demanding to talk to her boss and whoever ran the office.
I went to get my manager while the receptionist tried to calm down the lady and answer phones. Apparently at one point she snapped at the receptionist to "stop fucking around on the phones and get someone!" to which she told her that's exactly what I was doing.
My manager came out and she too was assaulted to swearing and cussing and generally being bitched at because my co-worker, who by this time was so stressed she had to once more run down and use the facilities ended up leaving for the day because she..well..had to change her clothes because she didn't make it in time.
My manager went down and spoke to the people in the office, telling them that they did not have any facilities because they were being renovated. The bitchy lady didn't care and started in, while the office manager was more understanding and told bitchy lady to go back to her desk. She even felt bad and sent some flowers to us later because of her employee's behavior.
I know that people get rabid over this, but damn..I've had run ins with bitchy lady before, and she has a rep in the building for being the police for other things.
