i dont know why but pinching one nostril closed and blowing all the snot out the other in the sink always struck me as nasty....

its a shared bathroom and im pretty sure they dont clean up every bit of snot which probably goes flying everywhere......like places other people touch when washing their hands

I'll post a pic of an announcement in the restroom at my old job, once I arrive home from class.

I worked at a sawmill in college and a coworker would always pick his nose at the stall and wipe his discoveries on the wall.

Worst part was the sunken treasures were huge and colorful due to all of the sawdust and paint in the air.

I have this lady in CS that I have to go see every now and then, and every time I go to her cube, she'd drop something and bend to pick it up. Now, she's what I would say in the most PC way as having a bit of a metabolic rate challenge and does not conform to the proper height and weight chart. She'd wear thongs. Bright colors.

Ok it's one thing to masturbate in a bathroom stall at work or in a public wash room, not that I think it's good but hay whatever gets you off I guess. But out in the open in a urinal?!? WTF?

A girl clipping her nails while she stood there talking to other employees.

Guy emptying his dip juice cup into what he KNEW was a non working water fountain (clogged from his prior dip juice cup emptying) where he let it sit.

When in a meeting later it was announced to all that the water fountain was a sink for disposal (no one else did it but this guy) so he decides to empty the cup in the trash can resulting in the majority of it splashing onto the wall....again where he left it w/o cleaning

The new guy, who was actually fired today, would pick at the zits on his face to they bled then proceed to use the phone. I brought in Clorox wipes this morning and cleaned EVERYTHING.

He also had an apparent aversion to showers and came in one day smelling of a mix of b.o, shat, and ck one cologne.

WAY back in the day my ex (ex at that point in time actually) and I worked at a Subway. We scrumped on the food prep table. I wasn't really thinking with the right head at the time, but I had sense enough to ask her to clean it with clorox afterwards.

I also had a co worker with a steel stomach. He'd find a McDonalds bag of sausage biscuits that got left under the work area and eat them despite them being a week old.

Mainly people who never wash their hands. That's why I never touch the door to get out of the bathroom. I push it open with my foot or use some paper towel. I just don't get how adults can be so stupid and ignorant to not wash their hands.

Man, I used to work in a restaurant where we would do horrible stuff to the customers' orders when they sent food back more than twice. I can distinctly remember wiping a roast beef sandwich with my balls and sending it back out.

We could fill up a thread on restaurant horror stories real easy.

Saw a guy in the locker room take off his underwear and turn it inside out and put them back on. Hey, he was sitting right next to me.

How about the guy that dropped his pipe into the urinal then quickly reached down, grabbed it, and put it back in his mouth?

Saw a couple of booger eaters over my time at the forge. One of them got confronted about it in the locker room with 80 people listening. :)

Saw a heroine addict fall out in the locker room and pissed and shit himself, just like in Trainspotting. A couple of friends of mine dragged him into the showers and washed him up with a mop. I couldn't stick around for the fun, I had to get back to work.

OK, I think that's the THIRD story I've heard of Subway employees having sex at work. Seriously. One of them was a semi-buddy of mine. The sad part is that I kind of like Subway.:(

Those are the same places people touch after taking a crap, so adding some snot is okay.

I work in a lab. One guy threw away irreplacable samples because they were not labelled. The guy knew who the samples belonged to. To prove his point, he could have put the samples in a box.

The owner of the samples went to H&R over this.

Did the guy who threw away the samples hate the person who forgot to label them, or was he really that much of a dick?

Summer of my first year of college I worked new house construction as a general laborer/carpenter's assistant with a couple friends. Sounded like a great gig, start at 7am and home by 3pm, easy work and like $18 an hour. Until the afternoon of my first day, when I was asked to start cleaning the basements for final interior work -- and quit to go back to making more money with a bit more effort cutting lawns and being a lifeguard.

Seems construction guys have a bad habit of hating prota-potties, and instead go to the basement, find a clean spot of concrete and proceed to drop it right there on the floor. Then the kicker, they would take of their underwear and use them as TP leaving them on top of the mess. The first basement I went into looked like the spacecraft in Alien (with all the seed pods on the deck) - I just turned around and walked out, and drove to the pool to get my old job back.
