Dirty Washrooms in Banks, WTF?

Okay, is it just me, or are personnel washrooms (guys') in a bank eerily similar to high school?

Do I just have some dirty fuckers working with me or do you guys find crap (literally) left in toilets and shit like that (no pun intended)?

I have a feeling it's some of the older guys...I think they're in risk or compliance or finance or one of those things cause I don't interact with them...

Anyone else encounter this?? I want to make sure this is not just an isolated incident.

 

It's not about missing the target it's about taking a crap and deciding "that looks pretty good right there, I'm not going to flush my artwork down the drain"...

I'm not even sure it's just back office (but lol @ blackhat)...I've seen it after the cleaning people come through at around 7pm...

Does anyone else see this??

Oh, I've also seen some idiot take a report to the stall and leave it there...moron...

One guy in one of our offices is notorious for taking newpapers from the kitchen to bathroom and then briniging them back - same guy is notorious for sticking his hands in the cereal boxes...

That's why you don't work at a bank. My buy side shop bathrooms are literally almost always spotless. Aside from all the automatic flushing and variety of sensors, there's janitors and cleaning people that make the rounds like every hour. But in a glorious bout of bathroom prestige, I still prefer to use the personal bathrooms that are supposed to be reserved for guests and handicapped people.

I worked at PWM over the summer and even the bathroom there with tons of people going in/out was totally spotless. Banks might be different due to higher stress levels and more work that needs to be done in a shorter time period.

Definitely. Also, I heard somewhere that bankers don't know how to poop properly.
