I just had an employee come ask me if I can ask another employee not to poop in the company bathroom. She said to tell her to poop at home. After I explained to her that that was an unreasonable request she said she's taking it to HR. It was all I could do to not laugh in her face. It's not like we only have one bathroom. There are 3 multi stall bathrooms on just this floor. What would you have said to her and what stupid employee questions have you heard?

Hey that's a good idea except I'd have to give to the other employee for it to work. Maybe I can leave a bottle in all the stalls nearest our office cube.

But when they asked "how" when given simple tasks, that drove me nuts.
Me: sweep the floor.
Them: how?
Me: (points at a broom) figure it out.
Or
Me: stock the cooks freezer
Them: with what?
Me: dreams and ambition.
Or
Me: a customer spilled their drink
Them: should I clean it up?
Me: no, let's hang the 'gone fishing' sign!
People.
I swear they ruin the best jobs!

On the old miss manners board quite a few posters complained about coworkers going no.2 in the bathroom and saying that they can hold it. I always just assume that they were young and immature to get upset about things like that.

Hahaha, I would've laughed and then asked if she were serious. I would love to be a fly on the wall when she takes it to HR.
I would not say I want to, as in look forward to it, but if it happens it happens. It does not bother me. Judging by the morning crapathon that goes on here it does not seem to bother A LOT of people. Three bathrooms with packed stalls every morning.
The only time I try to avoid it is when I am literally in the field, behind a cactus.
I fail to understand why some people have a hang up when it comes to bathroom business. Excrement doesn't smell pretty. Get over it.
I, too, would laugh at someone asking for a coworker to be told not to poo in the company bathroom. Where should the coworker do their business? Their cubicle? Get a grip and grow up.

right?! I mean.. that IS what the bathroom is FOR. what the heck? I would have just laughed at her and not stop laughing till she walks away.
LOL! One of the ladies I worked with was retired Colonel from the Army. And, she complained about some of the guys pooping in the morning. According to her, they should get up and hour earlier, drink their coffee and poop at home! I thought, wow, that is some kind of controlling woman who is gonna be working with us, lol. And, of course, she was.
However, there is some merit to that. I mean, who wants to poop at work? It's gross. And, there are some people who download a chimichanga in the foulest way. You do have to be considerate of your coworkers if possible. But, yeah, if you gotta go, you gotta go.
So I would suggest making sure there is always a full bottle of disinfectant spray in the bathroom. Also, is there a brush off to the side to clean up the skid marks?
Or, is there a bathroom that is more remote like in the basement or some corner hall somewhere , where maybe people could be more encouraged to go do their business if they need to do that?

I would remember the employee, and for their birthday or an office Secret Santa, I'd get them a "Poop Happens" sign (but using the other word for poop)
