"Potty Training" usually involves a TOILET (Warning: A bit GROSS!)

[lupo pazzesco]

So, I'm at work. I'm already cranky, tired, and sore because I moved another 3000 lbs of books today, bringing total to about 14000 lbs of books moved by myself in about 3 days. Ow.

I'm on my way to the bathroom, yank on the door...and it's locked.

This door is not supposed to be locked. At ALL. So, I go grab the key, and unlock it.

I walk in all fired up to tell whoever decided this was their personal restroom how very wrong they were, and the doors do NOT get locked by customers - only, SM is already in the bathroom. I'm confused at this point. There is a woman there, with a toddler, a little boy. SM is staring at her, with this look of baffled disgust. The woman shrugs, mutters the word sorry, and tugs on her little boy's arm, dragging him out. I turn to look at SM, ask what in the hell is going on when I see it.

Turds. on the FLOOR.

SM was amazed, but the wrong kind of amazed. See, despite having 2 working toilets in 2 stalls - neither of which were in use - Wondermom let her little boy drop trow, and simply squat on the floor to do his business. SM had wandered in and could only stop and stare. Mom stared back for a while, until I came in, at which point she decided that too many people were watching Little Precious poo. So, up went the pullups, and out the door they went.

SM looked at me. I whimpered. We both gloved up and started scraping little turdlets off the floor. SM goes to flush them...and discovers that someone has already made a mess of the toilet in one stall. And this looks to be adult sized.

Oh, fantastic!!

*gags*

I just--no, seriously--what is wrong with people?!?! Why are you letting your child drop his pullups and squat on the floor! He isn't a puppy!! Hell, even puppies aren't allowed to do that!! I just---and he---and then...GAAAAAH!!!!


Lysol! Who's got the Lysol!?!?!


*flees to take a shower - feeling kind of unclean*

Makes me wish sometimes that we'd go back to the days of charging people to use the bathroom. At least you'd have less of...that. At least I hope so...

[Wenchie]

Ewwwwww.... Ok, I'm so so so so incredibly sorry!

[raw456]

I'm sorry you had to deal with that

I once saw a woman let her 2-3yr old urinate on the footpath in front of a huge hardware store. not only that, but it was right in front of the doors!!!!! despite there being a public toilet less than 100mtr away.

I being me, had a go at the woman about it. She just pulled the "me no understand english" tactic (yes she was foreign) pulled the kids pants up and walked away.

I went back inside and informed the staff so they could at least put out a wet floor sign or something.

Some people have no manners

I've seen that on bathroom floors before, like in the public area away from the stalls, we've also had an incident where we found some on our store floor.

You know, I wouldn't leave CRACKERS that my kid drops on someone's floor.

No lie, I have been underneath tables in restaurants picking up crackers.

I cannot FATHOM someone not being utterly, utterly shamed pretty much to freaking death at leaving a pile of their kid's SHIT on the floor.

As usual, RK hit that nail right on the head.

We cannot fathom it because we are not Sucky Customers or Sucky Parents. We comprehend that the world does not revolve around us and other people have rights too, including the right to not have to clean up our messes.

Unlike the prize-winner in the original post. Gah. Some people just have no class whatsoever.

The monkeys here typically favor making themselves miss the toilet. One even tore a penis-shaped hole through a urinal we had taped up and put a bag over (someone broke it and it couldn't be used), and relieved himself on it. Too bad he didn't floor the floor with urinal water.

I'm not sure whether to wonder why so many people suck, or why it still continues to amaze us when they do... I'm sorry, Kristev - thanks for trying to keep your corner of the world bearable.

I'm pretty sure the word of the day here is shameLESS

You'd have to be.

I'm not a parent, but I hail from a large family on both sides, and I come from a land of an epidemic of teen pregnancy, lots of peers have kids (and have since our teen-late teen years), and I don't think any of them would even do that. I understand kids are a handfull and potty-training is probably the biggest nightmare of early childhood....but letting your kid pop a squat and shit on the floor....NO.

A friend of mine saw almost exactly the same thing at a business Costco. The apparent mother and grandmother had the little girl just squat and piss in the aisle. When they saw my friend they did the "me no understand English" thing. My friend told a worker so they could get it cleaned up, but

If you've been in the country long enough to get a Costco card, then you know what a public restroom is.

Let loose with a few choice putdowns, and I bet they display a firmer grasp of English than they claim...
