Guests spill coffee on everything beds, chairs, floor, desks. Coffee grounds are another mess to clean up

Well, if they were drinking something else, then they would be spilling that.

You have a tough job. Many years ago I worked at a horse facility, and one of my assigned tasks was to clean the men's restroom. I wanted to post targets on the urinals, because the men's aim was seriously lacking. :/

for one summer between semesters at college. I agree. They needed a target. It was so gross.

Shortly after our wedding, my wife informed me that from now on I would be a "sitter".

What?! I hope you let her know the best you can do is occasionally put the seat down.

the movie "What About Schmidt?" with Jack Nicholson. Great scene in that movie on the whole sitting versus standing issue.

That was indeed a good movie!

All it takes is sitting on the cold porcelain one time in the dark in the middle of the night to make you check every time. People forget sometimes. Heck, I'm trying to get my grandson to put the set UP. No one likes sitting on a sprayed seat either.
Solution: get your own bathroom.

Don't get me started either. What I have to say gets pretty gross and women don't come out that well.

There was a new restaurant in my neighborhood a few years ago. They had a snarky sign in the bathroom, telling men to sit down to pee.

We visited once and found the food underwhelming and the staff unfriendly. We never went back, especially after I saw that sign in the bathroom. Usually, things like that start with management and trickle down.

Men started to post the idiotic sign on social media, criticizing the the sign. A few women posted it because they thought it was funny. It backfired big-time.

It was probably the lousy staff that destroyed the restaurant, but they closed within a year. Nobody in the neighborhood seemed to care.

My mother solved the problem of poor aim by requiring the boys to clean the bathrooms.

Once you are on your hands and knees scrubbing the floors, bleaching the toilet, and detailing around the seat hinges along with that stench of urine. Your opinion on how to use a toilet changes significantly.

To this day I can smell a dirty bathroom and they gross me out as well. I cleaned bathrooms for two years as a side job while going to school. I found both genders have nasty bathroom habits, but my managers always raved about how clean the bathrooms were each morning, and each evening I would return again to clean up all those nasty bathroom use habits.

I had a job for a while cleaning the local high school. My experience was the girls bathroom was much worse than the boys. I think our society just likes berating males.

Agreed!

Some of the things I encountered in the women's restroom far exceeded anything I ever encountered in a men's restroom.

I once encountered a woman in a women's restroom...  Could it get any worse!?  I was mortified!  I begged her pardon and ran across the hallway!!

True. Look at any sitcom that has a family. The dad is always a buffoon and it's considered "cute".

Nah, it's disgusting.

Nah. That's just my own experience of cleaning up after men who either can't aim straight to save their lives, or who don't care to. I personally never had any issues with the women's restroom.

ETA: This was the same facility where my very competent and experienced female boss was told that she would not get a promotion that she was in line for, because she was the wrong sex. To her face. So, yeah. Poor, poor men, always being unjustly berated.

Doña Luci, no hagas caso a la bruja esta, la Sra. Gladys Lot; sólo está haciendo, como siempre, sus tonterías.

Se permite la pregunta, ¿que barrio?

Pero de todos modos, bien venida.

Welcome, Luci. You'll have to forgive me and Sr. Jesus Elderodddog, for our occasional attempts at humor.

I’d trade coffee for the ground in popcorn we had to get out of shag carpet in the ‘70’s after parents rented rooms for pool parties. Nightmarish.

Sign in men's room saloon:
"We aim to please.
You aim, too, please."

Luci, according to some accounts (for me, that's RfM), tobacco was forbidden in the earliest days of LDS the women were disgusted and tired from having to clean up cigar butts and tobacco spit from the floors. Well, so they say.

They say the WoW was partly because Emma etc hated cleaning up chewing tobacco stains. Red wine stains (Weinsteins?) are bad too. You may be onto something here.

Joseph supposedly included tea in the WoW because Emma was a tea drinker. He wanted her to give up something, too.

I hadn't thought of that. It's not like Emma was leaving tea bags out for JS to clean up!

I think we can agree JS didn't really respect Emma a whole lot over time. I can't believe she bought the idea that if Joseph claimed "God said so," she had to obey him.

Drinking coffee is so seriously stupid, thank goodness Mormons only drink healthy stuff like dirty sodas with 1500 calories. Smart people, eh?

Several years ago there was a guy in the ward I attended that was a crime scene investigator for a fairly large police department. His agency was one of the first to purchase one of those special lights that could illuminate blood and other bodily fluids at a crime scene. Because his dept had the only light in the area he was asked to demonstrate the light to other CSI's at a seminar in a city several miles away which required an overnight stay.

After the seminar I asked him how it went. His reply, "Seminar was fine but I learned to never turn on that light in my motel room".
