    But if a woman is really doing that… He has every right to get pissed. That’s just SICK; I mean seriously who POOPS ON THE SEAT? and on a REGULAR BASIS?

  Being a janitor, I can so relate to this. All I can say is, some humans are dumber than the stuff they leave on the toilets and walls!

  I especially love his use of the word “performance”. I didn’t know that using the bathroom is considered art. What an interesting use of different mediums too. First the initial “performance” piece, but then to paint the walls? So avante garde.

  My only wish is that he’d included a picture of the final masterpiece.

  I don’t see what’s so “passive agressive” about this. Aside from standing by the bathroom and inspecting it after every use, there is no other way to address what seems to be a very real problem. We have a mad pisser in my office. Every once in a while the bathroom will be completely sprayed down. It’s no fun. Some of my most unhappy memories from early childhood are of the disgusting bathrooms we had to share in pre-school and kindergarden. When adults behave this way, something is seriously wrong. I think this post isn’t really in keeping with the mission of this blog IMHO. It is quite entertaining though, I’ll give you that.

  We had a mad poo-smearer who used the ladies’ room at my old workplace. It was bad. Very bad.

  I find that a pretty good note – humorously written despite being a response to some grim behaviour. I wouldn’t diss the writer of this one.

    I am a member at this gym, and was shocked to find local fare on this site! That said, what you perceived as “humor” in this letter is, in fact, not. Richard Sells (whom I’ve met on several ocacasions, thankfully briefly) is brash and rude. He talks very much like this is written, to everyone. His employees can’t stand him, and he leaves these notes all OVER the gym all the time…

  I agree I like it! I would hate to have to clear up that mess every week how disgusting. You just better hope it isn’t a disabled person who doesn’t have access to a disabled toilet in the building although I couldn’t imagine that happening. Unless its a child. I just can’t get my head round the fact that someone would do this willingly.

  I can’t contiplate in my mind how someone would miss so badly. Even diarea at the most would hit the front end of the toilet but behind and on the walls?! This bomber must have fecal matter with a lot of gas buildup. This is why I don’t take a Crap in public restrooms.

  Note: even hovers can aim at the center of the bowel.

  Seriously, who does that? If you’re old enough to use a restroom you are obviously potty-trained, so what kind of a freak can’t crap into a toilet? I just can not wrap my mind around that fact that there are ADULTS out there that can not manage to get their waste into the giant hole of a toilet. (on a different rant, i’d like to kick the ass of every person who feels compelled to use 30 feet of toilet paper in a public restroom, thereby clogging up the toilet so no one else can use it. )

  It’s illegal to leave a mess in the bathroom? Unless they can prove some sort of intent to vandalize, I don’t see the police getting involved.

  Perhaps they can just revoke the offender’s membership?

  You know, occasionally we have someone hang ten. That is, they have obviously left a turd on the RIM of the toilet seat.

  Other than sociopathy, I think one time I traced the behavior to someone who was changing a diaper, and really didn’t know how to go about it, which sometimes might happen to the less experienced parent.

  there used to be a real problem with this when I worked at the Tuscaloosa (Alabama) Public Library. always in the women’s restroom it was always all over the walls. and in the men’s room, it was in the middle of the floor. we enacted a policy where not only did you have to sign for a key and present your library card. that ended it.

  I’ve worked cleaning toilets in a gigantic national park. People will shit everywhere. “We’re on vacation, who cares?” – is this the attitude?

  The mentality of such people saddens me.

  How exactly is he going to prosecute?

  Oh, SP, I agree. I briefly worked with schizophrenics and they did similar stuff in the bathroom, but a little worse…

  The “performance” reminds me of an anti-diarrhea product that directs: “Take two tablets after the first episode and one tablet following each additional episode.”

  Sign out the key then check for an EPISODE!

  I’m 31 years old and I have NEVER seen poop on the floor or walls, or a turd left on the rim of a toilet. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?! YIKES!

    I know! I’ve never even seen this at my school, which is full of CHILDREN, who are the only people that should ever be allowed to get away with this kind of thing. And seriously, even then, they should know better…

  I used to work at a group home for developmently disabled adults (with down’s and other forms of cognitive deficits). One of the residents who had severe Down’s used to play with her feces and smear them on the walls. Perhaps there is someone at the gym with the same issues?
  Anyway, that job is what propelled me into going back to school for my Master’s. Minimum wage for cleaning up shit is JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

  Yeah…I feel really bad for this guy. In Penn station they have placards that warn restroom users that defecating anywhere other than in the toilet itself will result in major fines. I think this isn’t *quite with the tone of the site but since the owner is a dick it is still safe.

  This site rocks.
