Who is responsible for unclogging the dumpers at work?

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Say you have a professional workplace, a law firm. There are two stalls, and two old guys keep clogging up both shitters, once a week or so.

Who's responsible for unclogging it?

The old farts leave it for someone else, not their problem, they are the high paid big wigs.

The janitorial crew has refused to unclog and clean them any more.

Make the younger staff do it? How long you think you can keep spirits up by having younger folk de-shit a toilet?

Or just leave it so that whoever needs to use the toilet next time has to unclog it first before doing business. Or not...and just go on top and let it accumulate?

This is a relatively serious question. I know, shitty situation, crappy deal, etc.

Uh, fire the janitors if they aren't doing their jobs. Plenty of others are looking for jobs and I'm sure some would even do that.

yup

 

[Schfifty Five]

How is this even an issue?

 

[HappyPuppy]

I suggest they install better toilets if they keep clogging up.

 

[nickbits]

Get new janitors

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

I'm just curious what the answers would be

A semi real scenario at a client.

Janitors say "commode broke. need plummar"

 

[Regs]

Maintenance - plumber.

 

[summit]

if you crap on the seat its the janitors issue. if your shits are too big for the pipes, you need a pipe guy.

 

[OCGuy]

If everyone just drinks tequila, beer, and energy drinks like I do, they dont have to worry about clogging anything.

 

[SaDiZTiKStyLeZ]

If you throw shit at females, they will show their titties.

 

[Malak]

For big wigs they clearly eat at Taco Bowl too often.

 

[PhoKingGuy]

Drive to home depot and find someone to do it

 

[sjwaste]

Every once in a while, the janitors. Recurring, call a plumber.

Once a week for what I will assume is an average size (10-20 person) law firm? That's probably the janitor's problem. More than that, time to check the plumbing and leave a plunger in each stall.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

cleaning crew / janitors

if they won't do it, you shouldn't have any problem finding ones that will. unless you live in AZ, then all I can say is 'its your own damn fault, dumbass'

in actuality, it sounds like you have shitty toilets and spending some $ for a man's can will probably pay for itself in plunging labor fairly rapidly

 

[BoomerD]

It's up to the individual who clogs the toilet to unclog it.

It's NOT the janitor's job, it's not the job of the young people in the office, nor the new guy...and while it may indeed be caused by an issue that requires a plumber, it still comes down to whoever clogs the fucking toilet needs to grab the plunger and un-clog the dammed thing.

" and two old guys keep clogging up both shitters, once a week or so. "

How do you know it is just the Old Guys plugging up the john? Hmmmm You been watching them take a poo?

Serve the old guys prune juice.

Or just get you a scoop and a bucket. Young pups are supposed to clean up after us old geezers.

 

[marvdmartian]

BINGO!! If it's part of their job description, then they're stuck with the shitty job, so to speak.

You might want to drop a hint around the office, however, for the old guys to maybe start including some more fiber in their diet!

 

[Sho'Nuff]

Send a firm wide e-mail informing the old farts that regardless of how well respected they are, their shit still stinks. That, and recommend a daily dose of metamucil.

This would be my thinking. I've seen it before and it looks like someone tried to drown a hornets nest in the fucking thing. That amount of paper, and a man sized poo do not go together. It wasn't a plumbing issue. Just someone using more TP than a woman does.

On a funny anecdote, my mom works in an office of around 500 folks, about half women. In the restroom she uses, she started noticing shitty toilet paper in the trashcan. Apparently someone was scared of clogging the toilet and it overflowing (best she could tell). She got tired of the shit smell and the obvious health issues of having exposed shit wipes sitting out.

She sent out an email saying from x day forward that if she found out who was putting used toilet paper in the trash can, they were fired. Didn't have a problem after that...

 

[JulesMaximus]

Take the initiative and slip some laxatives into their coffee supply?

 

[lokiju]

Is there a dedicated Maintenance person there?

That should be who IMO.

Cleaning people clean, not fix shitters.

Um, Indian people do that (from India I mean). It's part of their culture and if they're from there directly, they likely don't know better.

It's a fairly common thing to see in heavy Indian populated areas.

 

[AMCRambler]

Call a plumber. Make the company pay for it. If the big wigs don't want to un-clog you shouldn't have to do it for them. They could probably install some pressure assist system that'll blow those fucking turds to kingdom come.

Ever flush an airport toilet? If you're still sitting down those bastards will pull your guts outta your ass they got so much suction. You need that.

 

[WHAMPOM]

Glad to hear you volunteer!! Get to it!
