TunaSpleen posted:For unaware guys: women's restrooms usually come with little bins built into the stall dividers with brown paper bags for sanitary disposal of feminine hygiene products. I refuse to even imagine some frilly-dressed weirdo shoving his huge hand in there to fish out those gross little parcels of toxic shock syndrome-inducing goodness. Women have died from wearing tampons for too long. And for those of you who have never had the misfortune of cleaning public bathrooms for a living, these things can get positively revolting. I'd be in a situation where I was getting paid to clean the things using rubber gloves and heavy duty cleaners and still felt gross after touching them. Those bags don't always do a hell of a lot and let's just say that not everybody seems to be too terribly concerned about getting them into the bag. Or the bin. Or even in the stall, for that matter. The bins, without fail, will quickly turn into a filthy mess of dried blood and other interesting substances, while they're also used as a convenient trash bin for anything small enough to fit in them. Given their location in a bathroom this is often hygiene-related things, including, of course, used tissues and things that have recently been puked on. The idea of somebody not only willingly but joyously plundering these little baskets of gross is just downright horrifying.

When I was a pool manager we jokingly called the bins "treasure chests" and immediately assigned the rookie lifeguards to clean them. They thought they were special until they figured out exactly what I was referring to.

When I was at college I earned some cash by cleaning at Marks and Spencers and had to do the ladies staff toilets that were upstairs and private. It was an old building and the whole staff area had a weird vibe. It hadn't been decorated since the 60s I reckon and everything was in pristine condition. It was like the set of Madmen or something. Anyway, in the ladies toilets there was this loving THING and I'll try to describe it. It was at the end of the main room in the toilets stood against a wall and it was all stainless steel and chrome. It looked like a cross between medical equipment and industrial catering equipment. It had a hatch on top and a door like a door on a submarine with a wheel to open it. It was a really old school sanitary towel incinerator and it loving STANK. There were never any little boxes in the cubicles so they must have been still using this thing. It made everyone nervous and no one really ever talked about it. I wish I could find a pic of it. It was some Sci Fi looking thing, Edit: This is the sort of thing it was but it looked nothing like this one, it was waaaaaay fancier -

I used to work at a Bath and Body Works, and they didn't have the little box, just a bit lidded trash can in the bathroom. For whatever reason, they didn't empty the trash the night before, so during the open that morning, I was going around from trash can to trash can collecting the bags so I could run them out. I'm going about my buisiness, and I hear the manager start to freak out. I was leaving a trail of light reddish brown liquid as I was making my rounds, and it had started in the bathroom. After a moment we realized that it was because someone had tossed their mocha in there. Crisis averted, but I did have to mop it up afterwards.

I did third shift maintenance (custodial duty) at a rural Walmart for a few months as a second job. There was regularly blood smeared on the stall walls, tampons and pads stuck via blood to the walls, blood on the ceiling, the whole seat and floor covered in blood... If they could cover it in blood, they did. The women's restroom was the only reason I stopped working that job. I could handle the boredom of stripping and waxing floors for six hours of a night, I didn't care about chasing a mop a whole shift, the pee drips in front of the urinals were laughable by comparison.

I used to work at a busy truck stop. Cleaning out the women's room was the worst cause we had to empty those "treasure chests". Men's room was easy, spray chemicals and just hose it down.    http://i.imgur.com/nt5wUeJ.jpg

It's like watching a train wreck. You can't look away. What you're seeing is horrifying but you have to keep watching. Only in this case the trains just keep coming and piling up, faster and faster, with continually more horrifying cargoes. It never ends. Dozens, hundreds of trains keep coming and exploding. You think, does anybody up the tracks warn them? Do they somehow not know what horrors await them? But no; the trains continue and you just stand there, horrified and confused, but oddly intrigued. How long can this go? How many thousands of trains can pile into the wreck before it ends? But that's the most terrifying part. You realize, deep down inside, it can only get worse. The trains keep coming. No matter what you see there is always something out there much worse.

This guy showed up on what is basically a satirical anti-fan page for my hometown written entirely in awkward phonetic Scottish slang. The comments are a mishmash of "look at this bawbag" and "U GO GURL HES JUST BEIN HIMSELF" of course. Don't get me wrong - I agree that people are totally entitled to dress however they like, but if you dress like this I can't be held responsible for how loud I laugh: If that isn't to your taste, enjoy a suitably awkward photo of one of the town's addicts wading in the fountain to collect coins, complete with a cringeworthy phonetic Scottish caption.  The caption translates to "gently caress your wishes, children! I am going to take your money, purchase drugs and masturbate with a pine cone!" There are people who type like this all the time.

Speaking of "Hi Hater" Here's the Hi Hater mobile from 2010.  And here it is from 2011  Now before you say "those are his winter wheels" I can confirm from talking to his girlfriend that his wheels were indeed repossessed. He rolls around on those steelies to this day.

The last store I worked at only had one trashcan next to the entrance in the whole women's restroom, so you'd have to carry your used tampons and wrappers out of the stall and across the bathroom to throw them away. A lot of people wouldn't bother and would just leave them laying around the stalls. The manager of course feigned ignorance and then made fun of the female employees who complained. Stuff like that is why I always find it a bit mystifying at the absolute disgusted reaction people have if you bring up something like menstrual cups.

Rhizoid posted:Found this searching "Hi hater" My kidneys hurt just looking at that. Thread contribution: I work at a LEGO store in a fairly upscale mall, and the customers who come in are predominantly rich parents, their children, and the occasional teenager who played with LEGO as a child and wanted to relive those nostalgic days for a few moments by browsing the store. This last group can vary wildly from high school jock types, wannabe gangsta kids, nerdy types, and then the truly awkward, ugly and gross. Today, one of the latter came in. First thing I noticed about him was his attire, as it was awful. A red fez without tassels, an tan dress jacket that was three sizes too large, a Dr. Who shirt and denim jeans. On his face he wore the unfortunate mustache of a young teenager that believes he's got the makings of a young Freddie Mercury, but turns out looking more like, well, a teenager that hasn't learned how to shave yet. Unfortunately I have no pictures, as I'm too afraid of the risk of losing my job if someone catches me photographing customers. Anyways, he asks me if we have any Dr. Who LEGO sets, saying he's seen them on the internet. I politely inform him that no, we do not have any Dr. Who, we don't have a Dr. Who license, and what he saw was most likely MegaBloks, Kreo, or something a fan produced and posted for the world to see. He was disappointed, and I tried to cheer him up by mentioning I'd seen a little bit of Dr. Who and liked what I saw. Big mistake. I now had a new 'friend' who tried to follow me around the store as I performed my tasks, gushing about the show and things I didn't care to know about. After several minutes of him following me like an animal that won't leave you alone no matter how many times you yell at it, I managed to get away by excusing myself to the back room and finding some work to do back there until he'd left. So yeah, much of what the thread's said about Dr. Who fans (and My Little Pony fans, we have a Build-A-Bear across the hall, so I occasionally see MLP fans pass through our store as well) is true. There are the reserved ones who enjoy it quietly, and then there are those that proudly declare their love for it and are icons of awkwardness.
