    We could use advanced image recognition algorithms to recognize changes in the cleanliness of the bog, spray guns to mark the offender while the door gets automatically locked until the weaponized drones fly into the cubicle to deliver justice in one swift Samurai blow.

    Aletrnatively, we could leave a note.
    . . . or, check that the rim of the ceramic toilet bowl is perfectly horizontal and not slightly concave, coz if it is, every time someone sits on it the seat it will stress until it finally breaks.

    All places must be the same, I have left the toilets on occasion without using them, being so disgusted at the state some of my "civilised, educated & educated" people leave them in.

    So much bog roll stuffed down there it floods, pee all over the seats and floors, skids on the seats etc etc etc. Its disgusting.

    If my 10 year old son left the toilets at home in anything like the state some of these dirty swines do, I would ground him for a week and make him clean the bowl.

    Perhaps the turd monster is more familiar with these types of dunnies

Seeing the IT director assemble his troops and request that the culprit step forward was definately one of the funniest things I've seen in office life.
    That's amazing. Once, in the 80's, I went into the bogs in client co where a large overweight American bloke was having a piss. When I went to enter a cubicle, he muttered something about small winkies and being scared to show them in public. He quickly changed his mind when I took a dump in the urinal next to him.

    Toilets drama!!

    We had a massive drama in the office surrounding this topic!

    We share a 5 floor building with various other companies, on each floor are 2 toilets....we are on the bottom floor, one day the 2nd floor toilets were left in a state...I mean there was wee all over to toilets seat, the floor, the walls! They had left the tap on and flooded the sink area which had run into the lobby!

    The team in charge of the building had started taping the toilet doors as this wasn't the first time it had occurred...they caught a young lad from our office leaving the toilets and proceeded to show this image on all CCTV screens and pulled him up in front of our directors and 3 investors!

    The lad strongly denied the charge and this escalated into a full blown row with one of the maintenance crew who was suggesting they take the argument outside!

    We managed to break up the row before it got any more heated!

    You would think that people can see the mess they make and clear it up! I would be embarrassed to walk out leaving a state just in case someone goes in as I walk out, they would know it was me...how would i be able to look them in the eye again!?

    I had an inflateable neck pillow stuffed down the back of a cistern at one client co. It never occured to me at the time, that people would have heard me blowing the bloody thing up before I went for my daily bog-snooze

    I do recall at a clientco some time ago, an email coming round about incidents of sandwiches and pot plants being shoved down toilets.

    When I was at my current client 18 months ago on a previous contract, the head of department sent an email out to everyone about the condition of the bogs. Apparently, the cleaners had got pissed off (sic) at cleaning tulip up off the floor every morning.

    The head of dept reminded all staff, especially the women, this was unacceptable behaviour and had to stop immediately or else the cleaners would stop cleaning up the womens bogs where this was happening all too regularly!

    Back in the old days (or 1994) when internet access on office PC's was a rare thing, we had a dedicated 'Compuserve' PC in the IT support dept. One Monday morning, the boss comes in to look something up on cserve and finds a search, left by the previous user for 'Naked_ladies'. Yes it really did have an underscore

    Around the same time, there was a complaint went round from the cleaners that there were some 'deposits' on the mirror of the ground floor gents bogs. These deposits were white-ish

    The email round from the IT Director was entertaining, but not as good as it could have been
