Today, at the old folk's home where I work as a housekeeper, a resident was holding herself on the way to the bathroom. I hoped she wouldn't leave a mess. She made it just fine. I was then informed that she had left a crap trail from the couch, more than 20ft away. FML

Today, I spent the first two hours of my shift cleaning up liquid poo after an elderly lady sat in one of our chairs and promptly let go of her bowels. I was so embarrassed for her that I even bought her a towel, underwear, and a pair of pants. She then thanked one of my coworkers for all the help. FML

Today, I went into the tanning room at work, where the lady in there last had decided the trash can was a toilet and pooped in it. Before she sat, she took the time to wrap the edges in paper towels, I guess in case anyone else had done this before her. I had to clean it up. FML

Today, I was at work at McDonald's, at the front counter when an elderly lady came up to me and whispered, "I just shit everywhere in your restroom," then turned around and walked out the door. FML

Today, coming home, I discovered that my dog had left me a beautiful mound of poop in the middle of the corridor. He'd made an effort, though: there was a roll of shredded toilet paper next to it. FML

Today, I stepped in dog shit, barefoot, in my own bathroom. The dog had been outside for two hours earlier, and I'd watched him take a dump. Apparently he was saving some for when he got back in the house. FML

Today, my boss used the restroom at work. She returned and told me I needed to go clean the toilet because "someone left a mess in there." It was her mess. FML

Today, I'd just finished cleaning the bathrooms at work when I saw a young boy go in. Of course, I thought nothing of it until I had to use the bathroom myself ten minutes later. The kid had taken a shit and missed the toilet completely. FML

Today, I found dog poop in my room that had probably been there for days. My girlfriend, who was watching the house, said she didn't realize it was there, because she thought it was the smell of her own farts. FML

Today, I work maintenance at a warehouse store. I had to clean the men's stall because someone had pooped on the seat, the floor, and got some on the wall. When I took my break, I noticed that my fellow maintenance coworker had poop on his pants and shoes. I then realized that I just cleaned up his “mess.” FML

Today, at work, I walked in on a disoriented elderly woman eating nachos and cheese off the bathroom floor. She wasn't wearing any pants. FML

Omg I'm a CNA and I happen to be in Arizona as well. I had an obese patient who was put on water pills and she refused to get up to go pee so she would go all over the floor and her bed and I had to clean it up. Like every half hour. I feel your pain, lady.

Its sad she couldnt control herself. I think working at a old folks home you'd expect this.

Dude, you work at a nursing home, as a housekeeper. That's part of the job! I work at a nursing home as an RA and that would be like me bitching that I have to clean up someone's shit. That's part of my job. Accidents happen and quite frankly, this is not an FML.

Caring for the elderly is a very respectful job, looking after people who don't have the family to do so is amazingly selfless and is obviously tough at times, but I imagine rewarding too. My cousin works in a nursing home and she has had to clean up some horrible things in her time there, but she reads to them, plays chess or scrabble or just talks to them to keep them company. BUT, that said - FYL for not having an inch of respect for this woman...she didn't do it on purpose, so why don't you pull your head out of your ass and show her some respect. This woman cannot help it, I expect she was really embarassed about what happened. I hope that when you are her age and, if you happen to live in a nursing home, you have a simple-minded, selfish "housekeeper", such as yourself, who thinks so highly of themself, so much so that they feel the need to post such a petty anecdote on "fmylife" (surely there's a confidentiality agreement where you work) in which they are completely selfish, and have complete disregard for your feelings... Her family are probably paying the home (and so towards your wages) to look after her so why don't you start being responsible and respectful. Also, FHL for having someone like you looking after her. Just put yourself in her shoes... I don't think you'd like it if someone so publicly thought their own life was f**ked up just because you couldn't control your bowel movements and they had to clean up after you...don't you feel sorry for her? Or are you really that self-centered? P.S. Karma...it will get you back.

Today, I had another bout of bowel incontinence. How humiliating that I can't even take a dignified shit any more, but my advancing age and disease make it hard for me to maintain my dignity. But all the piss-ant orderly could think of was how inconvenient for HER it was to clean up after me, even though she well knows what is entailed in working in a senior citizens facility. FML.

Just try to think though, for a moment, how she must have felt OP. Yeah, it sucks that you had to clean it up. However, she has to live in a facility where she did that, and she's stuck there with everyone knowing exactly what she did. How horribly embarrassing must that be for her?
