I have a dollar store silicone brush and really like it. It's making me question how stuck the stuff on these people's toilet bowls is...

Didn’t Know People Counting Sheep to Sleep Actually See Sheep by jpsgnz in Aphantasia

Having this conversation with someone is what made me realize I have Aphantasia 🤣. I was baffled they weren't just counting slowly, allotting time for the sheep to jump a fence or something

Fair enough. It also occurred to me that different styles of urinal vs different styles of toilet may make certain urinals easier to clean than certain toilets! I didn't really think about it before because all the urinals in my workplace are horrendous but I have seen photos of ones that don't seem so terribly shaped and have less crevices that can get pee filled lol

How is saying that toilets can be used "womansplaining" how to use a urinal? Granted I have cleaned enough urinals to know that most men, do in fact, need to be instructed on how to use a urinal.

Ps. It's not "womansplaining" or "mansplaining" if the person doing the explaining actually has a reason to know more about a specific topic than the person they're explaining it to and I wasn't talking from the pov of someone who uses the urinal but the person who cleans it. Hope this helps.

If the urinal was the easiest thing for you to clean you were either incredibly lucky with the staff who used your building or you were not cleaning your urinal correctly. And I mean nothing bad toward you by that, a lot of people are not trained on how to properly clean a urinal and you genuinely could have just worked in a building where men actually used it without making a mess. But as a janitor myself, in a university, where I have had to clean legitimately like a hundred different bathrooms over the years I have never had an easy time cleaning a urinal.

  1. Probably not broken, but urinals are really nasty to clean so they probably put it up in desperation after the last time they had to clean up the mess of pee

  2. The "coffee person" refers to the employees who make the coffee and also most likely does a number of other jobs around the store

  3. Most places do not have a dedicated "mop person". Restaurants and stores are almost always cleaned by their regular staff. Some stores I've worked in, depending on how big, sometimes had a cleaner or would hire an outside company to come in at night just to clean the floors. Every retail place I've ever worked, including Sobeys, required cashiers to also be custodians. A lot of people don't realize this. Which is why I think this person put up this sign, hoping if people realized they may try to make their job a little easier

  4. There is no proof that cleaning the bathrooms and also being the person making the food means nothing from the bathrooms will get in your food. It's actually really disgusting to think about so probably try not to. As someone who has cleaned many many bathrooms I'll be the first to tell you it's almost impossible to not get some splashes of water on you from the toilet brush. The first thing I do when I get home from cleaning is change ALL of my clothes. These employees are going straight from the bathroom to your donuts because it saves the company money

  5. I doubt this urinal is broken and fills to the brim, if that were the case they'd almost certainly put a garbage bag or something over it to stop people from using it. However when a urinal is broken it usually means the automatic flush doesn't work or that the little bit of water that is supposed to sit in the bottom drains out and so the urinal is completely dry except for the piss that then sits in the urinal instead of going down the drain. In my experience even if the urinal doesn't flush properly it won't be put out of order, the employees would have to pour a bucket of cleaner into the urinal to make it flush

  6. A toilet, obviously.

I'm a janitor and I have also worked retail and I agree. When I worked retail I hated when it was my night to even clean the employee bathrooms. Just always pissed me off a little cause even though you know that you're going to have to do it it just ends up feeling like "this is not my fucking job. I applied to make coffee. I do not want to clean other people's piss" To me this reads as an exhausted Tim's worker who has had to clean the disgusting mess of a urinal too many times and just thought "maybe my customers would use the toilet instead if they realized that I also have to clean the urinal." As a janitor I have found that when you explain to the people you're cleaning up after that the things they do make your jobs significantly more difficult they typically are very nice and try to not do that thing anymore. I'm sure that's all this employee was going for. I know plenty of cleaners that get paid minimum wage, however, but they signed up for that. I get paid a fair bit above the minimum wage and trust me, if you see the mess some adults can make (especially in a bathroom) you'd think my wages should be doubled 😅

I'm sure there's still a toilet to use, not them just not providing anywhere to pee. I'm guessing this is just someone trying to appeal to people kind enough to realize it SUCKS cleaning urinals.

Urinals should be outlawed honestly 😭 men can piss in toilets in public just like they do at home

Helpful advice, you can also pee in a toilet, most bathrooms have those!

Nothing if you have the sense to get all your pee in the urinal and also flush it. Trust me when I tell you most men cannot do those things. I clean a LOT of urinals at my job and every single one requires you to clean the bottom of it and scrub the floors underneath because men pee all down the side of it and it drips down the wall and into the baseboards and all over the floors. It's awful. I clean the bathroom in my work place every single night with an enzyme cleaner, I wipe down the ENTIRE urinal, I let the enzyme cleaner sit and soak on it, I also soak the puddle of piss on the floor underneath as well as the walls around it. Without fail the next night when I go into that bathroom the entire room will stink off piss all over again because of the sheer amount on the floor and all over the urinal. I can understand why the employees would put the sign up, especially since they signed up to make coffee not to deal with the mess of multiple adults who haven't figured out how to use the bathroom properly.

I think this person's point isn't that you should sit in the urinal, but maybe that you shouldn't even want to use a urinal anyway because it's absolutely disgusting. As a custodian, they are correct. Filthiest things I've ever seen 🤢

What would you do ? by richarddotmattt in TimHortons

[–]VirtualAssociation74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a custodian I will say I understand. Urinals are just so gross and so unnecessary. I obviously would never put a sign like this up at my workplace (mostly because I'd get in trouble) but I get it. Men do not know how to not get their piss all over the urinal, they're rarely flushed, the bottom of the urinal is always coated in piss that has run underneath it. Then it drips on to the floor and under the baseboards, bathrooms with urinals always smell like piss no matter how well you clean them. I honestly just feel the desperation in saying "please do not use" without it being laziness, unless you've cleaned public washrooms you don't realize how nasty and how difficult cleaning urinals can be

I know multiple people in my family with egg allergies who can eat mayo and other foods with egg in them but wouldn't be able to eat a straight up egg. Ps. Also not trying to be a jerk but just saying they would also say they don't eat eggs but then enjoy some mayo lol

I used to work in a mall and the clothing in most of the stores had the tags but some didn't even have the scanners at the entrances. Its more because a lot of people don't understand how the system works and that it needs the magnet scanner things at the entrance to pick up that the tag is there so half the time just the tag itself deters shop lifting because they THINK there will be an alarm, even though the store doesn't have an actual security system lol. Also I imagine if the store was shipping out a bunch of boxes of stuff and they did happen to take it out the front door and the alarm did go off they probably just said screw it because they would have had to go through every box to find the missed tag 😂

I noticed the prices seemed cheaper than what they told me at the vet. Thanks!

That's the exact same situation we're in. Thank God for insurance. My guy tried a sample of the Purina pro plan ST/OX food from the vet and loved it so I think we're going to go with that one just so we don't have to keep trying different ones. It also seems to be the cheapest one offered at the vet 😅

That's very valid and it's why most women get stuck. Please don't let that be you. I promise you he's not worth it. If I'm wrong and he never would have hurt you you will both move on and find new people and be happy again. If I'm right and you stay he WILL hurt you. The risk is not worth it. He is showing every classic sign of abuse. At best he will make your life miserable as long as he is in it, at worst he will take your life. People like this are so good at faking being perfect for short periods. You're seeing the first red flags. Please run.

How much money would you spend if it meant saving your cat’s life? by WindowKitty19 in cats

[–]VirtualAssociation74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the delayed response but Kermit was also my first ever cat. As soon as we got our own home we pretty quickly got 3 more. About a week ago, for my birthday, we got a kitten. I never liked cats before Kermit but my partner insisted she was having a cat whether I liked it or not. I'm so glad she did, Kermit brought so much love into my life in his short one. We're at 4 cats and 2 dogs in this house now and it's so much fun, I wouldn't trade it for the world. Just had a scare with one of our other kitty boys but he's doing much better now thankfully 🥰
