Just got this email as part of an email chain from one of our Managed customers, names have been changed.

As we discussed, I posted the information regarding proper method to flush the toilets. Jane brought to my attention that the toilet handle in the first stall on the right in the west end ladies room is broken. I checked it and it does not flush at all.

If we ever remodel, perhaps we can go “touch free” with the toilets and faucets to help alleviate some of these ongoing issues.

So basically the email stated that someone booted the flushing handle?

My university has an interesting flush system. Instead of a rocking lever, it's a push button on the wall. I'm not certain about this but I think you're actually supposed to push it with your foot.

If it's a black concave button about an inch or so across, then no. If it's a silver convex button slightly larger (seen some that are 6"+ across) then yes you're supposed to use your foot.

Hah, at my job someone had posted signs in all of the mens bathrooms asking for "waterless urinals."

Fuck that. I don't want to deal with a stronger pee smelling urinal because you think we are saving the environment by saving water.

Water was meant to be wasted, we don't live in a 3rd world country.

your first line of your sig could not be more appropriate.

reading into it, my guess is the comment means they have trouble with people not flushing.

hard to believe how adults can not know how to behave in a public restroom.

I'm starting an internship next month. First rule they told us was not to cook popcorn in the microwave. Apparently too many people had left it unattended causing it to catch fire. Amazing they actually have to tell people these things.

Oh man, I remember at our head office the washroom STANK all the time. THey were low budget and never bothered with urinal cakes. the pee smell was very strong. The walls were dirty etc. I don't work at that office anymore but I'm sure it's still bad.

Actually, there isn't supposed to be any piss smell because there is a chemical that you put in the urinal that is less dense than urine. The urine passes through the liquid and trap and doesnt mull around to cause odor.

Having a chemical in your urinal does make you wonder if it's better to just use a little water than introduce more chemicals to your waste water....

I used to work at a place that had the lever on the floor beside the toilet, purposely meant to be stepped on. That toilet was never not flushed - dont know why they are not more popular.

ugh, here come the shitty puns :awe:

I love ATOT.

My shitter of choice has the floor pedal too! It was probably built in the 80's, but everyone on my floor loves it! I've honestly never seen another one in my life.
