embarrassing a guy with a “shy bladder” at work.
The men’s room where I work has a wall of urinals and four stalls. There is one guy who apparently cannot use a urinal.
However he must have a firehose and a sore back because he never lifts the seat when he urinates and he pisses all over the toilet.
Like not just a little sprinkle either. He gets it on the seat, the tank, the floor. I’m surprised he doesn’t hit the walls.
I’m overweight myself and I have trouble using the urinals sometimes. So I tend to use a stall. But I sit to take care of number one as well as number two.
Anyways I put up a sign in the stalls that I remembered from my grandparents’ home.
“If you sprinkle when you tinkle be a sweetie and wipe the seatie”.
He took this as a personal attack. He ripped them all down and came into the break room and was yelling about having a shy bladder and that he doesn’t have to use a urinal and a bunch of other stuff.
The thing is none of us knew for sure it was him that did it.
I didn’t target him or anything. I talked privately to him and told him that the signs were for everyone and that he just outed himself.
He called me an a-hole for making him embarrass himself and that he was going to HR.
I was just trying to politely ask everyone to clean up after themselves.
Netizens’ comments
- How is it a personal attack if he wasn’t personally called out? You didn’t embarrass him – he embarrassed himself.
- I can’t wait to hear what HR has to say about “I peed all over the place and op tricked me into telling everyone”.
- Having a shy bladder makes it difficult to “go” under pressure, ie. Public toilets, pee tests.
It has 0 impact on AIMING for the actual toilet. - It’s common courtesy to clean up your mess. No one should leave the bathroom in that state. If you can’t aim, sit, that’s what my Dad said.
