Random Most WTF Stories Janitors Described (19 items)

• (#3) Rancid lunch box causes janitor to projectile vomit

  "One night we noticed an above average amount of flies congregating around a Dora the Explorer lunch bag hanging off a coat hanger in the hallway. It also kind of stinks, so I prod it with my broom, and a Ziploc bag full of brown sludge falls out and explodes on the floor. The putrid stench of whatever was in the bag hits me like a truck and I instantly projectile vomit on the floor. My friend who was also working with me as a janitor comes over and can't even come within 20 feet because it smells so bad. We shovel it into a snow shovel and dump it in the dumpster, but by then the smell has permeated the entire building. We had to open every window and basically mop the whole building with this powerful anti-odor stuff that we had. To this day, I have no idea what could have been in that bag, my hypothesis is that it was a porkchop sandwich that had liquefied and fermented over the course of several months."
• (#13) High school janitor gathers girl's bathroom trash and tries to win a radio contest with it

  "In high school women's bathrooms there are small bins in the stalls for their feminine trash. A coworker of mine filled a bag with bloody trash and brought it to a local radio station for a contest. If you could make the host gag through smell, then you won a prize."
• (#1) Diarrhea explosion plagues Walmart bathroom

  "When I was janitorial at Walmart, I had to clean one of the most unholy messes I have ever seen. It was a Saturday like any other, I was messing around in the back trying to look busy, and I get a page to the front bathrooms for a mess. I thought it was something minor, maybe a spill, full trash, etc. BUT NO. I get up there and the lady that I was working with was walking out of there gagging. So I mentally prepare myself for what I am about to see. I walk in with my cart, open the stall, and I see what I can only imagine is what hell looks like. It looks as if someone had exploded diarrhea F*CKING EVERYWHERE. Just climbed to the ceiling like some sort of white trash Spiderman, and let lose. It was horrifying, and of course I was the only one who could clean it, the other folks couldn't stand the smell without puking. So I manned up and got to it. It took almost an hour, and a whole jug of bleach, and I got it clean. That was about the point I realized $7.70 an hour isn't nearly enough to deal with that."

  
  
• (#19) Hotel bed and bathroom soaked in blood; stash of used pads showed source

  "My first job was being a housekeeper at a hotel when I was 15... I walk into this one room, and the bed is literally SOAKED in blood. Mostly in the middle. Just covered. I was so scared. I called my boss and he said just toss the sheets, so I did. Then I moved on to the bathroom, and checked the sh*tty plastic ice bucket to make sure it didn't have water or anything in it, and bam, the whole thing is jam packed full of massive bloody pads. F*cking terrible. I had to clean it all up."
• (#11) Customer poops in restaurant's shop vac; tries to hide it

  "I was a manager at a delicatessen/ restaurant. There was a hallway in the back that led to the bathrooms, but it passed by the office on the way. The door to the office had broken recently and while we were waiting on a new door, we left it open - other than a heavy-duty safe bolted to the floor, there wasn't anything in there that anyone wanted - a few files, some supplies, etc. Also our shop vac.
   

  At the end of the day, I went back to put money in the safe - there was an odd smell, but being adjacent to the bathrooms I didn't think anything of it. But later someone went to use the shop vac and it smelled horrendous. We opened the top and...
   

  Apparently, someone went back and both bathrooms were occupied, and they couldn't hold it. The easiest receptacle, we guessed, was the shop vac they spied in the open office. Some one took a diarrhea sh*t in our shop vac.
   

  We just chucked the thing in the dumpster. None of us were paid enough to deal with that.""
• (#17) Construction mill janitor keeps finding meth gear in the bathrooms

  "I am currently working as a janitor for a construction mill. My job is to essentially clean the bathrooms and clear the walk ways- the usual stuff. I'm cleaning the men's restroom over in the steel mill part of the site and for the past five weeks I've been finding meth pipes, full pieces of pipes along with the bag they come in and they are either sitting by the sink or someone tries to flush them and I have to fish it out."
