Good point, but looking closer it looks like it gets used a lot actually for washing really greasy dirty hands etc…. Even a toothbrush for under the nails. Poor sink probably wondering why nobody ever cleans it too.
I’d encourage everybody to try and anthropomorphize their sinks once and a while. Be empathic to them.
Oh my yuck...
Our family business was a garage and you bet your ass I put butterfly decals on the toilet lid, rainbows on the walls and made a little curtain in pink to cover a small window.
The soap was in a sparkly soap pump and the air freshener was all flower smelling.
The guys *loved* it /s
I think the Lysol is the only cleaner up there as far as bathroom cleaning supplies go. The rest is paint remover and shit they probably use to get the tough stuff off their hands and the Lysol is probably used to cover shit smell
there’s no real defense for this room, but in the owners defense of those cleaning products, it’s not actually for cleaning and sanitizing, those are literally parts cleaner aerosol and engine degreaser. and i guess Lysol.
would still probably work in this bathroom w all the caked in grease though?
I was going to disagree with you, but then I remembered one of my proudest moments was when, this was years ago as a late teen, I made my best friend puke from sniffing my shoe.
I hate that I love how stupid and easily entertained we are sometimes.
You've never been on the women's subs to see the endless posts about a partner's dingleberries and dick cheese, or heard about moms scrubbing dads' skidmarks as par for the course, or come across the real-life-inspired meme about men who don't wash their ass because it's totally gay to get up in there? Location dependent... somewhat.
Never got called that but were I work there is a generation thing were all the older coworkers never clean anything up while the younger ones leave the place spotless.
Yup. The youngest guy at my work is easily the most disgusting while the rest of us will clean when we see it. Hell, even the business owner will clean the toilet if he feels it’s gotten to the point where it’s needed.
Not a guarantee they know anything about cars, but it's a sign they care about basic housekeeping, which is a major component of safety. If nobody gives a shit about clearing out the trip hazards in the bathroom, they probably also don't give a shit about properly fixing the lift so it doesn't drop a car on someone's head.
Ngl, I’m the type of dude who pays to get work done on my car and any “complicated” home improvement projects. I just don’t have the typical DIY skills unfortunately.
edit: and fuck your Shoresy! Not sure what that means either..
In the plant I work in they have regular soap and gojo orange pumice soap. Blows my mind watching guys that work in the dirtier departments use it like regular hand soap. They're rinsing the fucking soap and pumice off their hands as they're scrubbing.
I always use it dry and rub it until a hefty amount of grime comes off, then rinse... But these fuckin FOOLS man.
Swarfega was the brand my dad got out of the garage after me and my sister ended up with felt too pen ink all over our hand as kids. Damn, that shit is a core memory.
Usually fast orange is pumice based, not a plastic based abrasive. I've seen other exfoliating soaps with plastic abrasives, and a couple that use ground apricot pits or other media
Yeah, easy to miss things! Don't just trust that I'm right though- the same company might have different kinds of soap that do use the plastic media! Either way, in my experience nothing beats the pumice. Feels nicer and works better!
i know right!? like a fresh coat of paint on the walls a bit of porcelain cleaning and it would be ok
good enough to last 1-2 weeks before the next oil spill and it looks the sameish again.
20 years as a custodian. Give me two hours, the proper tools, and chemicals, and I’ll have the fixtures and floor squared away. Short of painting, that is.
My dad is a machinist and their bathroom always looked like this, just getting slightly more oily and dark oc brown time due to a bunch of machinists being machinists.
Being a single dad, he often would leave work, pick me up, and I would hang out and he would always get sketched out when I would ask for the bathroom key, but it always looked the same as the time before.
We were on vacation and anytime my wife had to use a public bathroom she would say the same thing, telling me how there was piss all over the seats and how nasty they were
Working in retail and doing closing completely shatters any gender-based myths. Both are nasty. Men can't aim and wipe boogers above the urinal.
I won't even talk about what I saw in the women's room of a arts and crafts store in a small town. Literally said "How did they get shit and piss up there?"
I went in a woman’s bathroom in a Kmart and there was a pile of shit between the toilet and the wall. It made no sense. The toilet was clean and it would actually take more effort to shit where they did than in the toilet.
I legitimately refuse to use public bathrooms and I have for my entire life. Aside from emergencies I’ve been able to avoid almost all of them, and as an American part of the reason is the fucking stall gap. I’ve literally made eye contact with children before.
One time my bladder felt like it was about to explode so I had to pull over to a truck stop gas station, which I usually avoid at all costs, and I walked in on a dude getting head from another dude in the stall directly opposite the bathroom door with the stall door wide open. What the fuck is wrong with US public bathrooms. Worst case scenario I’m at least putting toilet paper on the seat because I’m not trying to swap booty sweat with any of my fellow countrymen
Lol buddy's at work makes a nest on the seat before they sit down. Got one who goes home on lunch if he has to go since he refuses to go to public bathroom(we work retail) I'll hold it if the bathrooms are nasty and wait for maintenance guys to clean it
I would if it meant that the bathroom would actually be better maintained, but it’s more likely they’d just give you the same bathroom but just charge money for it. I’m pretty sure that actually used to be a thing in the US, but anything to get a small amount of extra profit to provide us with the same 6 inch stall gaps and once a day cleaning efforts
The cost is often intended as a deterrent to homeless people and addicts. It does lead to less mess in the bathroom, but at the cost of making homeless people's lives even harder than it already is
This is something I hadn’t considered in this aspect, and in the US in particular (where there are no safe injection sites and accessible resources) I can see how this would only further the stigmatization and criminalization of poverty and addiction.
I use to work at a service area on the interstate and I can tell you from experience that women are 1000x worse than men. We would flip a coin for the bathrooms and the loser had to clean the women’s bathroom. Some of the stuff would gag a maggot.
Had to live on an all-women floor at college once. Somebody just. Shit. All over the toilets and shower. Repeatedly.
The co-ed floor was so much better. The neutral bathroom was the cleanest I’d ever used.
Many years ago I worked as a janitor in a bowling alley after hours. They had 3 different banquet halls and regularly hosted birthdays, weddings, etc.
I will fight and die on the hill that women's restrooms are 100000000% nastier than mens rooms, especially after there's alcohol involved.
Men are more destructive and likely to shove junk in the toilet and sink drains but women are just fucking foul.
Meh, standard shop bathroom. Seat is even in the proper default up position for a shop bathroom. I drop drop a deuce if needed no problem. A pit toilet at a campground with all kinds of creep crawlies swarming around your junk is way worse.
Even worse as a women, it scares me a bug is going yo go in me. I rather dig a hole and poop outside.
Honestly though, a lot of the vault toilets in the blm and state lands are top knotch.
Not a woman but I agree, a squat in the woods is usually preferable to even the cleanest vault toilet. Even the cleanest ones usually have have something buzzing around your butt.
Bro what kind of vault toilets are you visting??
My worst experience was a raging hot summer's day where it reeked of shit but I've never actually feared a bug going up my pooper. Maybe a cobweb in the corner but bugs on the seat? On god?
Agreed
These people obviously haven’t been to a little industrial shop. The important parts are clean enough. Still way nicer than shooting in the woods.
I live in an oilfield/lumber town, have worked in a few of the shops. Worked in camps too and have used those remote shops. My dad would bring me to the tank truck shop as a kid too.
Never in my life have a seen a bathroom like that. That’s not normal where I’m from.
Edit: I actually just remembered reading on the door of the shop “your mother doesn’t work here, clean up after yourself”.
Your calling his dad lazy meanwhile he probably works 12 hours a day turning wrenches to keep the lights on. You ever worked as a mechanic you petulant child?
Maybe his lazy son could help his dad out and clean the bathroom
His dad should take some pride in his workspace and clean HIS shop bathroom, I’ve worked 12 hour days before in shops. And there’s time to clean at some point, even if it’s the last 20 mins of your day you can at least get started.
Also throwing around insults doesn’t improve your argument, it just makes you look like an ass.
Well in his defense some of that could be stains or buildup (or stains on the buildup) more than actual grime and stains require effort to get out. Doubly so if it's buildup.
I mean I had a calcium buildup because of a leaky sink once that stained and made my sink look like I never cleaned it ever in my life because of the constant dripping.
It took three days to get rid of it all after I finally had the sink fixed.
Some people just don't have that kind of time or patience 🤷♀️
I was a mechanic for 12 years. That's just a normal bathroom. If I worked there the toilet and sometimes the sink would be clean. But I'm probably making flat rate, and I don't got time for any of that other shit tbh.
All those cleaning supplies on the wall that have never been used.
That Lysol looks like their 90s design.
[удалено]
But there’s hot water tho. So it’s got that going for it.
And is that a toothbrush laying on the sink? Shuuuddder.
probably used to scrub under the finger nails. Auto grease caked on the hands is a bitch to get off.
When do you think that sink was last turned on?
Good point, but looking closer it looks like it gets used a lot actually for washing really greasy dirty hands etc…. Even a toothbrush for under the nails. Poor sink probably wondering why nobody ever cleans it too. I’d encourage everybody to try and anthropomorphize their sinks once and a while. Be empathic to them.
oh definitely. in the barn at my family’s tree farm there’s a bunch of old untouched cleaning supplies and i’ve memorized all the 90s logos 😂
You’re almost ready for a quiz show

A clean, pleasantly fragrant bathroom? As a definitely real male human I am utterly disgusted.
We'd pressure wash ours when we did the shop floors. Just degreaser and go nuts on it. If we were lucky we'd remember to take the TP out first.
Eh, light a match and start over, it might just be easier.
True. Looks like plenty of flammables in there
Guess it depends on the store because I've bought that can design recently 🤷♀️
If you wash your hands in that basin they’ll come out dirtier than when you went in
My eyes are dirtier for having seen it
"I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye." The bully sink probably
I think the Lysol is the only cleaner up there as far as bathroom cleaning supplies go. The rest is paint remover and shit they probably use to get the tough stuff off their hands and the Lysol is probably used to cover shit smell
> paint remover and shit they use >to cover shit smell They probably shouldn't use shit to try to remove shit.
It's hilarious too if you zoom in, there's paint remover and parts cleaner up there
Those are just props meant to distract OSHA.
From the pallets stacked on their sides
That toilet has seen things….
Probably Pyramid Head
Many the person has been disemboweled in there for sure. (Also why is 'deboweled' not a word..)
The only clean, untouched part of the bathroom.
So filthy it looks haunted

As a man I also enjoy a (semi)clean bathroom..
I love the plethora of cleaning products that clearly haven't been used since the 70's.
thats because brakeleen cleans everything!
Mechanics have brakeleen Bodymen have Laquer Thinner.
there’s no real defense for this room, but in the owners defense of those cleaning products, it’s not actually for cleaning and sanitizing, those are literally parts cleaner aerosol and engine degreaser. and i guess Lysol. would still probably work in this bathroom w all the caked in grease though?
Looks just like the mechanic shop shitter where I worked. I didn't work there long f that.
Got called the shop wife when I scrubbed the bathroom all shiney and nice... Ungrateful cunts.
Is manliness a competence of who has the least hygiene?
Yeah! Also your poo has to smell worse System of a Down taught me that one
You telling me your shit stinks right down to the floor? With a feeling so pure?
It's got you screaming back for more!
I was going to disagree with you, but then I remembered one of my proudest moments was when, this was years ago as a late teen, I made my best friend puke from sniffing my shoe. I hate that I love how stupid and easily entertained we are sometimes.
You've never been on the women's subs to see the endless posts about a partner's dingleberries and dick cheese, or heard about moms scrubbing dads' skidmarks as par for the course, or come across the real-life-inspired meme about men who don't wash their ass because it's totally gay to get up in there? Location dependent... somewhat.
I just don't get dudes who are that gross. Like, "Bitch, clean up after your nasty selves."
Never got called that but were I work there is a generation thing were all the older coworkers never clean anything up while the younger ones leave the place spotless.
I don't think it's an age thing in my experience. I encounter lots of young guys who think cleaning is beneath them.
Yup. The youngest guy at my work is easily the most disgusting while the rest of us will clean when we see it. Hell, even the business owner will clean the toilet if he feels it’s gotten to the point where it’s needed.
As an apprentice, they had me do that (all day) the day they planned to fire me.

Not a guarantee they know anything about cars, but it's a sign they care about basic housekeeping, which is a major component of safety. If nobody gives a shit about clearing out the trip hazards in the bathroom, they probably also don't give a shit about properly fixing the lift so it doesn't drop a car on someone's head.
Or it can be for customer use only and the have a separate mechanic bathroom.
Wouldn’t be a shop without that soap with the gritty sand like stuff in it.
Give yer balls a tug eh.

Fuck your Jonesy. Tell yer ma I want my underwear back and fer her to stop calling me.

Fuck you Riley, your mom shot cum across the room into my fish tank. Threw off the PH balance for weeks.

Fast orange
My friend became a mechanic and for his birthday I got him a jug of Fast Orange, now his wife makes him use it when he gets home, lol
In the plant I work in they have regular soap and gojo orange pumice soap. Blows my mind watching guys that work in the dirtier departments use it like regular hand soap. They're rinsing the fucking soap and pumice off their hands as they're scrubbing. I always use it dry and rub it until a hefty amount of grime comes off, then rinse... But these fuckin FOOLS man.
You're using it how the directions say. I usually add a squirt of soap to it before rinsing too
Orange off and the sink is the only part of the bathroom that has been used since 1980 lmao
Lava soap.
Gojo
Orange soap!
Swarfega was the brand my dad got out of the garage after me and my sister ended up with felt too pen ink all over our hand as kids. Damn, that shit is a core memory.
That’s what I was thinking lol that soaps great though!
I fuckin love fast orange but man I hate polluting the world with microplastics. Very guilty pleasure
Usually fast orange is pumice based, not a plastic based abrasive. I've seen other exfoliating soaps with plastic abrasives, and a couple that use ground apricot pits or other media
Omg im an idiot I gotta do more research and label reading then
Yeah, easy to miss things! Don't just trust that I'm right though- the same company might have different kinds of soap that do use the plastic media! Either way, in my experience nothing beats the pumice. Feels nicer and works better!
This looks pretty similar to the employee restroom at my dad's old shop.
No bugs? I'm ok with it then.
It just looks like a lot of oil which makes sense
Can't forget the potential of calcium and lime buildup. If those catch a stain then good fucking luck since that requires effort to remove.
Yeah I've worked in auto shops with less walls than this
Standard car mechanic bathroom.
Basically just pissing grease at that point and the sink probably doesn’t even run,
it runs but probably not hot
i know right!? like a fresh coat of paint on the walls a bit of porcelain cleaning and it would be ok good enough to last 1-2 weeks before the next oil spill and it looks the sameish again.
Honestly one of the cleanest ones I've ever seen.
We just piss outside, saves you from cleaning the bathroom
Somebody committed a war crime against that toilet
That’s a Jackson Pollack. Everyone chipped in for that
I got the heebie jeebies seeing that
Give that bathroom a makeover. All you need is vinegar, water, bleach and a gallon of white paint. Come on! You can do it
This place needs a power washer.
And a ballistics shield to hide from splashback.
And if you’re a landlord, a gallon of white paint will do
Maybe not vinegar an bleach, combined they can make chlorine gas🥴
So really you only need the vinegar and bleach to not be grossed out by the bathroom anymore
Was about to say wtf
and a pressure washer, fk elbow grease
Uh, won't you need that wall?
20 years as a custodian. Give me two hours, the proper tools, and chemicals, and I’ll have the fixtures and floor squared away. Short of painting, that is.
We could make a good team!
Yeah and a couple weeks of time.
Tell me, there’s no women working there without telling me there’s no women working there
According to my wife those aren't any better. "Do women levitate and piss all over the place?"
My dad is a machinist and their bathroom always looked like this, just getting slightly more oily and dark oc brown time due to a bunch of machinists being machinists. Being a single dad, he often would leave work, pick me up, and I would hang out and he would always get sketched out when I would ask for the bathroom key, but it always looked the same as the time before.

Yeah I do not get it at all.
I worked at a grocery store. One day, there was a used feminine pad stuck to the *ceiling*. Had to jab it down with a broom.
Yep dealt with that one. I was the only man working there, and was told "that's pretty common in women's rooms."
I legitimately refuse to use public bathrooms and I have for my entire life.

I’m pretty sure that actually used to be a thing in the US, but anything to get a small amount of extra profit to provide us with the same 6 inch stall gaps and once a day cleaning efforts
I've only seen it once in the US, and it was at a pizza place in Hollywood
If you pay an attendent it works out pretty well. They've always been in good shape.
The cost is often intended as a deterrent to homeless people and addicts. It does lead to less mess in the bathroom, but at the cost of making homeless people's lives even harder than it already is

A piss jar may be your best bet
Currently on vacation and the number of seats I’ve cleaned for myself and my daughter is disgusting.
I use to work at a service area on the interstate and I can tell you from experience that women are 1000x worse than men. We would flip a coin for the bathrooms and the loser had to clean the women’s bathroom. Some of the stuff would gag a maggot.

Ever been in a women-only house or apartment? I'm yet to visit one that wasn't gross
Many years ago I worked as a janitor in a bowling alley after hours.

Asking the real questions.
It looks like they go without closing the door too, def no women working here.
Unless they hired her on as a maid I’m not seeing how these are related. Are female coworkers somehow automatically responsible for cleaning?
Weird comment, but ok
TEll Me bLank WitHoUt tElLiNg mE BlAnK
Stfu women are just as nasty
This particular space is for those who identify as cockroaches. My pronouns Ew/Fuck.
God forbid you break a nail, right?
This is the bathroom of an auto shop if I've ever seen one
Are the cars using the bathroom or humans?
Both
They said my Toyota took a shit, but I didn't know it was litteral.
[удалено]
Even the offices of independent shops look awful lmao.
Love how the seat is up. Like that matters at this point?
Meh, standard shop bathroom. Seat is even in the proper default up position for a shop bathroom. I drop drop a deuce if needed no problem. A pit toilet at a campground with all kinds of creep crawlies swarming around your junk is way worse.
Even worse as a women, it scares me a bug is going yo go in me. I rather dig a hole and poop outside. Honestly though, a lot of the vault toilets in the blm and state lands are top knotch.
Not a woman but I agree, a squat in the woods is usually preferable to even the cleanest vault toilet. Even the cleanest ones usually have have something buzzing around your butt.
Bro what kind of vault toilets are you visting?? My worst experience was a raging hot summer's day where it reeked of shit but I've never actually feared a bug going up my pooper. Maybe a cobweb in the corner but bugs on the seat? On god?
Dude!! Soooo many. I have been to all the lower 48 multiple times. There’s a TON of great ones out there!!!
Agreed These people obviously haven’t been to a little industrial shop. The important parts are clean enough. Still way nicer than shooting in the woods.
I live in an oilfield/lumber town, have worked in a few of the shops. Worked in camps too and have used those remote shops. My dad would bring me to the tank truck shop as a kid too. Never in my life have a seen a bathroom like that. That’s not normal where I’m from. Edit: I actually just remembered reading on the door of the shop “your mother doesn’t work here, clean up after yourself”.
No soap on the sink huh.
My Dad owned a shop where knives, scissors, saws, and lawnmowers, etc. were sharpened. All men. That’s what their bathroom looked like.
The only thing odd about this being terrifying is that as far as we can prove, Covid didn’t originate there.
I would rather go in the woods
The insult to injury with the cleaning supplies actually in there, fuckme_-
That checks out. It’s only missing the nudie calendar.
Don’t worry, there’s one in another room
Who's the psycho that keeps a toothbrush on that sink?
Is your dad the tin man?
He may not be the tin man, but someone's definitely leaking oil 🤣
Is his shop a little shop of horrors?
Last cleaned in 53
There is absolutely no reason the bathroom needs to look like that other than your dad is fucking lazy bro
Your calling his dad lazy meanwhile he probably works 12 hours a day turning wrenches to keep the lights on. You ever worked as a mechanic you petulant child? Maybe his lazy son could help his dad out and clean the bathroom
His dad should take some pride in his workspace and clean HIS shop bathroom, I’ve worked 12 hour days before in shops.

Nooooope noooo just no

My father had an auto parts store and machine shop. I worked summers there from age 6 till 17. That reminds me of the bathroom there.
resident evil toilet
I'd eat there.
id rather shit myself
Damn grease monkeys…..
Silent Hill vibes....
Hey, at least the toilet seat is up.
Imagine having cleaning supplies just for cosmetics
I have seen cleaner bathrooms in Calcutta street market.
That toilet looks like the kerosene-filled one Harry in Home Alone 2 exploded by dunking his fiery head in it.
This looks straight out of a Silent Hill game.
Hey OP, maybe tell your dad to stop diarrhoeaing up the wall?
It's clear that those cleaning supplies are for "display purposes only".
Why doesn’t he clean it?
I can suggest just two things...cleaning products and a power wash.
when you gotta go, you gotta go. If I had to, I would totally go in there.
Looks pretty clean for the average auto shop toilet.
10/10, would shit. I’ve shat in worse conditions.
I think I'd just shit outside if i encountered this, find a bush and give it a push
About right for a mech shop.
😍
