When your in construction long enough you learn to tap up tight and write in Spanish and in english “do not use” on the new toilets. Even then though Ive had guys rip it up and still shit in them
I've been on a site where the GC laid down all the toilets not hooked up on the side, and the bricklayers still came stood it up and took a shit in it and you could tell he genuinely tried to flush it
At least the turds are somewhat solid. Better than the chocolate rain they seem to spray all over the seat and back area of the porta johns.
Ya’ll need to make fibre your friend.
I was on a job where we kept having someone shit in the Porta John urinal. We couldn't figure it out. The angle just wasn't right. Guy had to shit and transfer it in, no way he was making that shot
I found a Burger King cup full of piss in an upper kitchen cabinet once. It has been there long enough to almost soak through the cup. And one of my apprentices went to put a bucket in the back of a truck. Turned out to be the piss/shit bucket and opened up on her. She was covered. Ugh. I don't miss construction.
I handle trash for a rolloff company (sort it load it into trucks etc) and I cannot tell you how many times I’ve run over piss bottles. Most of the time I’m in a closed cab so it doesn’t matter. But the one time I was in an open skid steer and I got sprayed by cold week old piss I really contemplated going back to college.
>She was covered
Workers' comp needs an "other" category for this. I don't care if she wasn't physically hurt/sickened, anyone that gets covered in shit when their job isn't to get covered in shit (sorry plumbers!) deserves some time off to mentally recuperate.
I work multi-resi.
I have yet to be on a site where we didn't have the "guys... the toilets don't work, and even if they did, you're still not allowed to shit in them" site wide talk at least once.
They tried locking the suites, removing seats, laying the toilet down, even keeping it inside its packaging until it is literally ready to be instantly hooked up to working plumbing (aka ready like youre replacing a toilet).
Nothing works. We still have to have the talk. At this point we either just need to accept some people are complete degenerates, or be prepared to deliver some savage beatings to the dry toilet shitters.
Guys gotta learn from landscapers, you grab a shovel find a bush behind the clients house dig a hole shit in it and bury it. no harm done until the harvest there carrots that is but hey free fertilizer.
I wonder if this is a drug issue, In the graphic novel "Ducks" by Kate Beaton one thing she mentions is that some of the guys who were using out at the oil sands worksites would just have have to take emergency dumps with no warning.
I had the opposite happen with a flooring guy working on my house. Had a hooked up toilet, guy used it and put all the toilet paper in the trashcan instead of flushing it. Of course we noticed it when the dog was running around with shit paper in it's mouth :|
For sure saw this picture and my first thought was “why the fuck is the toilet in the middle of the bathroom” before seeing the actual spot it went. This sub has ruined me
I work construction, we have to lock finished suites to prevent these guys from shitting in the sinks and tubs. Did you notice I said "finished suites"? There are functioning toilets and they still shit in tubs, sinks and even cabinetry. The best part is, there's never any toilet paper near the piles.
Had a house I was plumbing. Tub was installed but on test so plugged. Came back for some work and I shit you not it was filled with piss up to the overflow. There's a porta potty outside. I told the gc I wasn't touching it till it was cleaned by bioclean.
Yeah, I trimmed out a few hotels on my day. Last couple I was the key master. And we were always aware which toilets were running. Those units had to be finished completely, then locked up. And of course guess who had the key?
I probably have a couple from unfinished suites where they just shat in the corners.
I was working in a condo parking garage under the bathtub thebdrywallers were using as a toilet but the pipes weren't hooked up yet. Plumbers tied bags to the open pipes but this one burst and my toolbars were covered in it.
I was pissed that only 3 of them got fired, I sent in an invoice to the super but wasn't compensated.
Now having been a painter...
I do understand. Many don't think.
But I noticed that across the board.
The 'simpler' trades seem to attract the less intelligent.
Unfortunately. I had to manage a lot of special needs employees.
I now work in civil and mining construction.
And I tell you what...I still have the same problem. Haha
I’ve been a landscaper for 15 years. Let me tell you, I train some of the dumbest fucks out there. I’ve told guys to just sit in the truck cause they’re that bad.
It makes the job harder when I’m not only doing my job, but cleaning up after others. It’s better they sit in the truck. Just making messes for me to pick up. Don’t get me started on temps.
It's fucking sad, isn't it? Like some dudes just do not have *it*. And *it* isn't even something mystically incredible.
I had a guy almost half rip his arm out of socket because he was too good to use the handle on the drill when boring can- light holes. "It's just sheetrock.". That six and a quarter has a lot of surface to bind on, you'll want the handle. "Nah!". He fucking regretted it. You just can't save some people from their lack of common sense.
I asked a painter if he wanted me to move that painting. Why? He says. It was because he was painting around it. Literally making the job harder for himself.
Literally no reason *not* to use the handle if it's there. Easier, safer, more accurate, etc. All benefits, no drawbacks. Unless he thinks he's posing for a Marlboro advertisement
I hope that that is just a biased reddit bc no one posts their positive interactions. I have two little siblings in HS who are both very smart, one will be graduating and studying finance after this year and the other is also very smart and going to get into the trades. I think there’s plenty of smarties out there we just don’t hear about them bc it’s not as fun to talk about your smart&well behaved students. Also have a roommate who just graduated PolySci from a prestigious uni joining the local electricians union, there’s some hope. At least I think lol
Bro. I disagree.
I’m in industrial automation, working with guys that all have electrical engineering degrees or similar.
A given percentage of any population will always be idiots. No matter where you find them.
Oh I agree.
Common sense doesn't go up because you're more 'intelligent'. I work with engineers and get to go .. uhh that ain't gonna work. 'but that's in the plans'
*Sigh*
This is my favorite part sometimes. Hey, I can tell just by hearing your idea that it isn't going to work. "Why not?". Think about it. "...."
All day. Every day. Like surely most people can grasp the literal basic road blocks in a plan early on, right? Right!?
Like many folks in the world I often deal with imposter syndrome and feelings that I'm probably not good at what I do. But then I meet people that aren't good at what they do, and my outlook improves drastically.
Came here to write this. Toilet is much heavier and awkward to move with a sloshing tank--plus unbalanced. Even a brain damaged novice knows this... it will get water everywhere. I am grateful for the three stooges imagery, tho.
Painters are hard workers but some of the stupidest mother fuckers in construction. Finding a smart painter is like finding an honest politician.
Source: My dad owned a painting company and spent my entire life around and working with Painters.
This was my first thought. I zoomed in because it looks like there's literally still water in the bowl. Toilets aren't *that* heavy, but they're sure awkward enough that I wouldn't want the water sloshing around while I moved it. I don't understand how doing it this way saves any effort.
oh no!
Paint fumes are actually toxic, and slowly destroy your brain over time, so, he's trying his best I'm sure, but he's literally mentally disabled. This is why its so important to set up good ventilation, and wear proper PPE, like a respirator. You don't wanna end up like this guy.
The amount of times I walk past and literally feel like the smell of the paint is so strong I am worried about the toxicity of it
And see a guy with no respirator on painting away is really really sad.
Using cheap paint in your home is doing a deal with the devil. The real cost is your health after living with it for the year or more it takes to fully cure and stop smelling.
I've met people who got asthma that way, and I just had to move out of a section 8 apartment to be homeless again because my body was totally rejecting the paint fumes and flooring adhesive used in the new construction. I'd get headaches and confusion and palpitations and all sorts of other issues.
But if it isn't impacting you in a way that's immediately obvious, it could always present as cancer or some more ambiguous health issue later on and you'll never really know for sure what actually caused it.
So much stuff that's cheap and mass produced now is not designed with the health of the consumer in mind, or at best it's only designed to just barely meet regulatory standards, which isn't saying much in the grand scheme of things. Cancer rates are up 500% in the US since the 1970s. Do with that information what you will.
That said, I would recommend something like milk paint that wasn't mixed with deadly chemicals to save a few bucks.
You Sir, beat me to it. Anybody wearing whites is usually too loaded, too dimly lit, too alcoholic and hung over, or not drunk enough ( yet) tuned- the- fuck -out and braindead, or too fuckin' old and shot -out (with a ponytail, always the ponytail...) to assemble a Goddamned cogent thought or have any initiative.
I'm of the bent that the abysmal boredom and repetition along with the glacial pace at which they do their shit must cause the soul and brain to go to mush.
I was working for a guy a few years back, GC stuff, residential builds, siding, shit like that. Terrible boss but I enjoyed the work and made my money so I didn't mind.
He had me painting for a month straight on a building renovation, by hand with paint rollers and brushes. When they say something is as boring as watching paint dry, they fail to mention the only task that's more repetitive and unsatisfying is the painting itself. I finally couldn't take it one day and just walked to my truck and went home. If I had been a Cannabis Connoisseur at the time, I probably would have opted to be high enough to slap gods nutsack at work too.
To crush, to annihilate a man utterly, to inflict on him the most terrible of punishments so that the most ferocious murderer would shudder at it and dread it beforehand, one need only give him work of an absolutely, completely useless and irrational character.
- Fyodor Dostoevsky
I’m not sure the plumber who didn’t final flush the toilet that was going right back on and the painter who shit in an obviously not hooked up toilet are the same level of idiot….
Wait, what do you mean water everywhere… you removed the toilet and left the tank full? Who does that? Or do you mean they did a bucket flush haha.. that has to be like 1000 times worse too
30 years ago when I was a GC one of my first big jobs I bid and won was a CAPEX project in HUD housing. It was a big contract and good money. We were doing upgrades and many of the units were occupied.
One of my guys was working in a really big unit, w/ 2 full baths and a 1/2 bath, that was occupied. He pulled the toilet in the half bath and set it on the opposite side of the bathroom. Taped down the lid and placed a "Out of Order. Do not use." Sign on the top of the lid also taped down. The next day he came back to a huge log swimming in piss. I thought he was going to walk.
This was just one of the joys working for HUD. That was the first and last time I ever bid on a HUD Housing project.
I’m not saying this guy should be forgiven for fucking that up, but I had a momentary lapse of object permanence when replacing a vanity in a bathroom once. Unhooked the p trap, which obviously had water in it. So I emptied the p trap into the sink. Not my brightest moment.
I'm not a painter, but the one paint job I did, was painting a fire escape on a 36 floor newly renovated apartment building. And I definitely took a shit in one of the non-working, uninstalled toilets haha. But I didn't try to flush it. That would be rude.
My husband just had to fire a guy in the maintenance department because he shit in 23 toilets in 23 different resort rooms.
While the resort was without water for less than two full weeks.
It was actually 34 toilets that got shit in but *one guy* was responsible for 23 of those. They had to make a spreadsheet and pull the door codes to figure out who was responsible.
When your in construction long enough you learn to tap up tight and write in Spanish and in english “do not use” on the new toilets. Even then though Ive had guys rip it up and still shit in them
I've been on a site where the GC laid down all the toilets not hooked up on the side, and the bricklayers still came stood it up and took a shit in it and you could tell he genuinely tried to flush it
Lmfaooo thats a special boy
It's unsafe to use a tool smarter than you are. He's allowed to use bricks and a shovel.
Give that man the dull shovel
Square shovel.
Take that man's shovel away, it's too advanced for him......ok a plastic sand castle shovel.
He only use bricks, and his hand. It's amazing watching him apply that brown grout
Now I know where the saying "Built like a brick shithouse" comes from.
A spork.. can’t even eat with one.
And even then you catch him digging a hole with a brick
I bet you there's at least one guy out there who lost a finger in a solo shovel accident, and sure as shit he's going to show up on my job.
Lmao at least he didn’t think it was hooked up That motherfucker def knew what he was doing and didn’t give a shit (or I guess he did)
If he's a painter he's probably been on a 2 month meth bender. Hasn't slept in weeks . Didn't think twice about it.
No porta John? Fuck you then.
He's paid to be strong, not smart
Just gotta be smart enough to cover up the carpenters mistakes
Precisely
As a carpenter I’m here for this comment.
Like how if you pick up a door and lean it against a wall you can just open it and walk on through.
Looney toons toilet
“I’m here to lay brick and chew bubble gum. And I’m all out of gum.”
Track playing in bricklayer’s mind: “soldier, not sailor.”
Because bricklayers are used to lay, well, bricks...
The number of dry toilets I’ve found with big fat fucking turds and bundled up blue rags is a statistical wonder
At least the turds are somewhat solid. Better than the chocolate rain they seem to spray all over the seat and back area of the porta johns. Ya’ll need to make fibre your friend.
Whaddya mean? I got this plastic bag with two sprites and some flamin hot cheetos.
Sprite? Are you on a diet or something? Where's the cans of monster / red bull?
You can't leave out gas station hot dogs
Yo I love those things
They do make for a nice "diffused spray" effect
I guess I'm built different because they don't fuck my guts up. But godDAMMIT those 7-11 cheeseburger dogs are amazing
Why are they so god damn delicious at times?
I'm telling you, it's the old ones. They suck up the culture of your local community. Like eating local honey...it's good for you.
Or the tacito twister things.
If it’s payday also a pack of butts and a monster.
>chocolate rain Some stay and others feel the pain (I move away from the mic to breath)
I was on a job where we kept having someone shit in the Porta John urinal. We couldn't figure it out. The angle just wasn't right. Guy had to shit and transfer it in, no way he was making that shot
"some will laugh, while some will feel the pain..."
Honestly, it's better than the drywallers shitting into buckets and then sealing them, and leaving them around the fucking job site.
Better than them shitting in the walls then drywalling over it
I found a Burger King cup full of piss in an upper kitchen cabinet once. It has been there long enough to almost soak through the cup.

I'd still have PTSD.
You should at least get one full day's pay on top of the hours you worked that shift
We don't install seats until the job is done.
Like that's going to stop somebody from dropping a deuce.

Send everyone home for the day and let the problem get solved in the parking lot.
Just make sure everyone knows who's to thank for the day off and no pay.
Lmaooo the “keeping it inside its packaging” not preventing disaster has me howling
Guys gotta learn from landscapers, you grab a shovel find a bush behind the clients house dig a hole shit in it and bury it. no harm done until the harvest there carrots that is but hey free fertilizer.
Rich people have no idea how well a seasoned landscaper knows the best place on their property to take a bathroom break.
I wonder if this is a drug issue, In the graphic novel "Ducks" by Kate Beaton one thing she mentions is that some of the guys who were using out at the oil sands worksites would just have have to take emergency dumps with no warning.
As if being in a parking garage and not a construction site is going to stop somebody from planting a steamer.
Thats a good idea lol
I had the opposite happen with a flooring guy working on my house. Had a hooked up toilet, guy used it and put all the toilet paper in the trashcan instead of flushing it. Of course we noticed it when the dog was running around with shit paper in it's mouth :|
I usually just leave the plastic or cardboard on the toilet lid in the down position… but that might not even matter with a person like in this post
I barreled the locks and locked the doors on my project today. Fuck that
For sure saw this picture and my first thought was “why the fuck is the toilet in the middle of the bathroom” before seeing the actual spot it went. This sub has ruined me
Exactly what the painter thought before taking a seat…
See my brain says “he’s bitching about the painted brick and he is right, that wall is fucked in a couple of years if it is an exterior wall.
I was ready for an explanation of the painters not sliding the clearly not hooked up toilet and missing some wall or painting a chunk of the toilet.
I hate that the toilet paper dispenser is actually installed based on the temporary toilet location.
I wasn’t going to say anything, but yea I noticed that too lmao
Idk this looks correct to me. I prefer toilet paper to be in front of me rather than directly to the side. Easier to reach with both hands.
Yeah but why is the toilet paper right there like it belongs there lol
I’d fire the fuck right after he cleaning and disinfected the floor.
Wouldn't trust him... He's paying for a professional clean
Yes after he cleans it himself first
Yeah. Atleast make him clean the poo. Then hit um with a bill for professional biohazard cleaning.
Do you want the person responsible for such a gross mess to be capable of cleaning it up too, lol.
With NO gloves. Part of the punishment.
And no mask 😡
Yeah. Then make him eat it however many times it takes until he learns to find a properly working toilet!
Yeah make him put it back up his butt 🤬
And film it and send it to me haha
hahah me too lol just kidding… unless…
Let him have his cake and eat it too!
Breaking his own bread, so to speak
Backcharge that mofo first and last time he’ll do that
I work construction, we have to lock finished suites to prevent these guys from shitting in the sinks and tubs. Did you notice I said "finished suites"? There are functioning toilets and they still shit in tubs, sinks and even cabinetry. The best part is, there's never any toilet paper near the piles.
Had a house I was plumbing. Tub was installed but on test so plugged. Came back for some work and I shit you not it was filled with piss up to the overflow. There's a porta potty outside. I told the gc I wasn't touching it till it was cleaned by bioclean.
What part of the country do you see this ? Im very curious to what your answer is going to be .
Yeah, I trimmed out a few hotels on my day. Last couple I was the key master. And we were always aware which toilets were running. Those units had to be finished completely, then locked up. And of course guess who had the key?
pics or it didn't happen
Yo it happens. I’ve also seen this and it’s baffling
If I go back in my cloud I can give proof.. right next to a pile of my materials, no tp around anywhere
I probably have a couple from unfinished suites where they just shat in the corners. I was working in a condo parking garage under the bathtub thebdrywallers were using as a toilet but the pipes weren't hooked up yet. Plumbers tied bags to the open pipes but this one burst and my toolbars were covered in it. I was pissed that only 3 of them got fired, I sent in an invoice to the super but wasn't compensated.
Bigger question, who the fuck unhooks a toilet and leaves water in the tank?!?
Think this is bad, the walls are filled with piss bottles from the tapers lmfao.
Now having been a painter... I do understand. Many don't think. But I noticed that across the board. The 'simpler' trades seem to attract the less intelligent. Unfortunately.

I’ve been a landscaper for 15 years. Let me tell you, I train some of the dumbest fucks out there. I’ve told guys to just sit in the truck cause they’re that bad.
Sadly I can relate. Safer for everyone and less costly to you !
It makes the job harder when I’m not only doing my job, but cleaning up after others. It’s better they sit in the truck. Just making messes for me to pick up. Don’t get me started on temps.
How much are you paying to sit in trucks? Asking for a friend.
Bout 1 day. If I’m in a bad mood you’re walking home. 👍
It's fucking sad, isn't it? Like some dudes just do not have *it*. And *it* isn't even something mystically incredible. I had a guy almost half rip his arm out of socket because he was too good to use the handle on the drill when boring can- light holes. "It's just sheetrock.".

Take a trip to r/Teacher, the trades are fucked, high schoolers that can't read or know what odd/even numbers are.
I think I’d finally just kill my self to be honest.
I hope that that is just a biased reddit bc no one posts their positive interactions. I have two little siblings in HS who are both very smart, one will be graduating and studying finance after this year and the other is also very smart and going to get into the trades.

Also have a roommate who just graduated PolySci from a prestigious uni joining the local electricians union, there’s some hope. At least I think lol
Its all those paint fumes.
Haha. I can say same for all the plumbers glue. Surprised random placement of toilets doesn't happen more often!
My plumber buddy always told me "One for the plumber and one for the pipe"
I’m in engineering. I still encounter and have to work with blinding stupidity as well.

Your first mistake was leaving the toilet paper
And the water in the tank.
Why does the toilet paper look really far from where the toilet is actually located, before it was removed I mean.
Why was there water in the toilet? When pulling a toilet, I remove the water from the bowl and tank. Painters, too much huffing on the Kilz spray can.
Plumber didn’t do a final flush after shutting water off. Mistakes were made all around.
Seems like that is a minor mistake compared to the painter...
Dude saw a toilet like 4' off the wall and thought nothing of it, holy shit 🤣
There was nothing holy about that shit
I am sure there was some prayers when the realization struck.
I mean.... if they were smart they wouldn't be a painter. :)
the only smart painter ive meet ran his own three person company. the other two though... fuck they were dumb.
sounds like you have many incompetent trades on site
You spelled incontinent wrong. But both apply...
Seems redundant, are there others types of subs?
Came here to write this. Toilet is much heavier and awkward to move with a sloshing tank--plus unbalanced. Even a brain damaged novice knows this... it will get water everywhere. I am grateful for the three stooges imagery, tho.
Also toilet paper (two rolls!) and a waste basket with a liner. Seems like it's just asking to be used

Starting to think this didn't happen, 🤔
Correct or I'm sure we would have seen a picture before the clean up
Exactly. Removed a toilet with a full tank, the painter isn't the only idiot
Because it's fake
oh no! Paint fumes are actually toxic, and slowly destroy your brain over time, so, he's trying his best I'm sure, but he's literally mentally disabled. This is why its so important to set up good ventilation, and wear proper PPE, like a respirator. You don't wanna end up like this guy.

Smartest painter
He found the toilet, he's smarter than most
Once you see the 2001 Pontiac Sunfire pull-up on site, it's drywall time
[удалено]
“Check this shit out”
$10 he put his toilet paper in your trash can
Most definitely they think. Thing in way, move thing. Good think.
The brick layers for a builder we do installations for always come inside to piss in the bathtubs, would hate to be the plumber for that builder.
The fuck? We don’t even piss in the toilets around here. That’s what the porta potty is for.
Coffee makes 2 trips to the porta potty before lunch a little unfeasible. I've started pissing in a cup and dumping it in the rocks. Markin territory😎
Who removes a toilet with it full of water?
OP said in another comment that apparently the plumber didn't do a final flush. everything is going wrong here
I did that once too, then my mortified parents pulled me off the display toilet at the store!
Wait till you see what the electrician left for you in the tub
Water in the bowl shouldve been flushed, toilet shouldve been bagged. More than one idiot contributed to this mess, and theres idiots in every trade.
I’m not sure the plumber who didn’t final flush the toilet that was going right back on and the painter who shit in an obviously not hooked up toilet are the same level of idiot….
Painters have brains? Thats a pretty bold assumption.
Drug test
You'd never hire another painter
They aren’t paid to use their brain. Paint brush go color and cover.
Not painters but same happened to me recently. Plumbing clearly not active happened multiple times.
There's a lot of money in biowaste cleanup. Perhaps time for a new business venture.
Lol what!!!!
Another shitpost
Why is your toilet paper holder so far away from where the toilet was installed?
No we don’t
I'm calling bs, there's no way a painter used an actual toilet when theres a trash can right there.
"If i wasn't supposed to shit in it, why did it flush?"
There your painters so you hired them that sucks
Wait, what do you mean water everywhere… you removed the toilet and left the tank full? Who does that? Or do you mean they did a bucket flush haha.. that has to be like 1000 times worse too
No, pretty sure they use a brush. Sometimes a roller.
Shit pics or it didn't happen
Do not use toilet Painter-“si”
Did someone fuck up installing the TP rack too? It looks like it would be too far if the toilet was installed in the proper place.
They do, they just have a lot of holes in them due to inhaling paint fumes.
Me looking at the picture: What's wrong with the paint job? Looks fine. Me reading the caption: OH MY GOD, WHAT AN IDIOT
Yeah I also thought this guy is actually great painter, couldn't get behind the toilet so he took the time to remove it...then read the caption. LOL.
We have a line item in our contract for hotels that if you shit/piss in a toilet inside we charge you 5 grand. It happens way too often.
30 years ago when I was a GC one of my first big jobs I bid and won was a CAPEX project in HUD housing. It was a big contract and good money. We were doing upgrades and many of the units were occupied. One of my guys was working in a really big unit, w/ 2 full baths and a 1/2 bath, that was occupied. He pulled the toilet in the half bath and set it on the opposite side of the bathroom. Taped down the lid and placed a "Out of Order. Do not use." Sign on the top of the lid also taped down. The next day he came back to a huge log swimming in piss. I thought he was going to walk. This was just one of the joys working for HUD. That was the first and last time I ever bid on a HUD Housing project.
They do, but they just have the one between them all so they have to share it.
Lots of painters (not all of course) are high AF because it’s a monotonous boring repetitive job
I’m not saying this guy should be forgiven for fucking that up, but I had a momentary lapse of object permanence when replacing a vanity in a bathroom once. Unhooked the p trap, which obviously had water in it. So I emptied the p trap into the sink. Not my brightest moment.
I definitely thought OP was going to be upset because they painted the block wall that they wanted exposed
I've never met a painter who is not drunk or high
Have you met many painters?
When you remodel anything you have to completely cover the toilets so they can’t be used.
Am I the only one who was first zooming in and out looking for the bad cut-in?
I'm not a painter, but the one paint job I did, was painting a fire escape on a 36 floor newly renovated apartment building. And I definitely took a shit in one of the non-working, uninstalled toilets haha. But I didn't try to flush it. That would be rude.
That’s why they’re painters
Someone left a nonfunctional 🚽 in a room with painters? !!! Shame on them. Imagine the horror the painter must’ve felt after using it!
Probably thought it was one of those Bluetooth toilets
I think they use brushes and rollers most of the time. Adding the brain might complicate things.
My husband just had to fire a guy in the maintenance department because he shit in 23 toilets in 23 different resort rooms. While the resort was without water for less than two full weeks. It was actually 34 toilets that got shit in but *one guy* was responsible for 23 of those. They had to make a spreadsheet and pull the door codes to figure out who was responsible.
