Health: Today, I spent the first two hours of my shift cleaning up liquid...

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, the fitting room of the store I worked in smelled really bad. The customers started to complain and since I was on fitting room duty I went to go investigate. A middle aged woman pooped on the floor and then put the chair on top to cover it. FML

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 once again had to clean up a shower and bathroom covered in feces, because of client with incontinence. It smelt so bad that I couldn’t hide my reaction; the client saw my face and I could see the embarrassment on theirs. I spent the rest of the day feeling like an asshole. FML

Take a break

By Anonymous - 04/05/2024 07:00 - United States

Today, I really had to take a shit. My coworker had gone on lunch break and I was alone in the shop. There were no customers, so to the can I went. Cue a long series of loud wet farts and splashes, followed by the flush. I emerged to see the horrified face of some old lady and her grandson who'd heard everything. FML

Today, I started my first day at work. When I used the bathroom, I thought I was peeing into the bowl but it was actually leaking out. My pants kindly cleaned up the mess. FML

Today, I work in a grocery store and a woman suffering from diarrhea somehow managed to get shit up and down two of the store aisles, then go to the ladies room and mess up the stall. I was the only one working trained in deal with bio-hazardous waste so I had to clean it up. FML

Today, while working at my salon, I was cutting an older gentleman's hair. When he got up to leave, everyone noticed he had clearly pissed his pants. I felt bad for him until he laughed and said, "Here's your tip, have fun cleaning that up." FML

Nice neighborhood

Today, I had to clean up human poop that someone trailed through the store. Then, as I was cleaning up all the shelves at the end of the day, I saw that someone had changed their sanitary pad, took a new one out of the packed and used it, then left the used one on the shelf. FML

In all seriousness, shouldn't this be "F her life"?! That had to be so embarrassing for her. Just because she mistakenly thanked someone else(who could of also been helping her), doesn't mean that what you did went unnoticed.

I realize it must have been extremely embarrassing for her. That's why I bought her new clothing, and a towel to wrap around herself so she could make it to the bathroom to change without anybody noticing what she's just done. I made sure nobody else found out. I'm saying F my life because I had to clean up human shit, and her thanking somebody else (who looks like my polar opposite so I don't know how she could have confused us) afterwards just struck me as insulting.

I would NOT clean that. Why didn't your company call a hazardous materials place to come clean it? We had a customer cut himself and bleed all over the bathroom at work. Looked like someone had been murdered. We were not allowed in there until the hazards people came in.

We are our own hazmat team (yay min-wage employees!), and biohazard needs to be cleaned up properly (we get training), and above all immediately before anybody accidentally comes into contact with it. I've had to clean up blood and bandage a customer as well.

You were embarrassed for her? How do you think she felt? It was most likely accidental. One of my family members can't see very well so she sometimes misses the toilet. Getting old is part of life. It was however, nice of you to buy her some clothes

Of course she was embarrassed, and I did everything I could to make sure nobody else found out what she'd just done.

Genuinely confused why people think OP is being rude. They did the morally correct and empathetic thing. Regardless of situation, it always sucks to have someone else be mistaken for you, and I imagine doubly so if you work in a service industry where people already treat workers like they are interchangeable. Even if people are upset because it sounds like OP wants credit for it, that's even more ridiculous. Someone getting credit for what YOU did always puts a damper on things for a while, but said coworker could also get some sort of commendation or reward for what OP did, even though they actually did nothing. Which is just salt in the wound of them not correcting the lady and admitting that they aren't the one that helped her. I highly doubt anyone in that situation wouldn't be upset in the same position.
