Gives a whole new meaning to the term, "environmental protection."
Gross. Just...no! Was there any reason behind them dingbats taking a leak or atomic stink bomb in the hallway?! Damn. I'd die from asfixiation! If it's that toxic, condemn the workplace, then detox it. Problem resolved. It won't be a fast solution, but it'd be a healthy solution at that, plus, we'll have one less shithole to deal with.
I have to wonder if it's some disgruntled employee trying to make a statement...
Scott, you'd be surprised at how little respect some people have for their fellow employees in shared facilities. People clogging up the toilets and waiting for the next person to come along to unclog them, leaving dirty dishes in the kitchen sink, letting food rot in the refrigerator. Some just don't know how to play well with others.

It has always been depressing to me that the larger an organization I work for, the more sociopathic and rude behavior becomes anonymized and therefore facilitated. I feel very fortunate to currently work in a very small organization where telling people off and/or firing them is common and uncomplicated.
Where I work, it's ridiculous how many people leave unflushed feces in public toilets. There is often no paper, which means they did not bother to wipe. Several times I have witnessed men not wash their hands after doing a #2.
Once, in the women's restroom, there were feces in three different toilets at once.
Women are way worse about leaving the bathroom nasty than men.

I guess my hygiene is lower than others, because I don't wash my hands either. I haven't gotten sick yet for not doing it. That being said, I definitely do wipe (if/when I go in public) because not wiping is absolutely fucking disgusting. Not flushing is the exact same thing. It's one thing for it to not affect others, but sometimes I smelled the most foul and venereal smelling shit in some of my school's toilets. I nearly puked. Now, this was in the toilet. In the hallway? If you poop anywhere that's not a toilet in a building, you're a fucking psycho.

I take it you're single and planning to remain so. Even with the most caring, understanding, and accepting person, you will not win the "Don't try to change me by making me wash my hands after I use the bathroom" argument.
It's a good idea to wash your hands, even if you see no direct effect on yourself, because we are all carriers of all kinds of things. Sanitation with regard to human waste is one of the greatest public health achievements ever. Even here in the modern Western world, it remains a cornerstone of public policy. There are ongoing decades-long projects here to keep shit out of stormwater, for instance.
I'm a strong supporter of exposure to germs for a strong immune system, but for so many reasons and for the sake of so many people, you need to wash your hands after you wipe your ass. It is part of the social contract.
Pretty please, with sugar on top. Wash your hands.

If you urinate and not wash, that is slightly more acceptable, as long as you did not get any spillage onto said hands. But at least use some hand sanitizer when you are done.
Hahahaha, that first comment! :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

I've been in such dire straits before that I was in the act of defecating before I was firmly seated. Thankfully the expulsion point was over the bowl so the effluvia landed in the appropriate spot.

Oh, I definitely know that first-hand (we had a glass door leading to the break room at my last job, and you would see people push on the glass to open it instead of the steel plate you see on every push door in the world, right after they had seen housekeeping clean the glass). But pooping in the hallway seems so deliberate, I can't imagine many situations where it would happen that are not someone trying to cause a scene.

These 15 poop horror stories will tell you how: http://www.buzzfeed.com/kaylayandoli/hurbly-grblies
I've come across a parkside bathroom a couple weeks ago and it's fucking embarassing to look at the putrid trash people leave behind in there. I've stumbled across one stall that was clogged up and fecal. Does that not tell you how gross that is? I'll do you one better. I used to do janitorial work at Frenchtown School District 40 and there were some pretty gross toilets from kids not flushing. I'm glad someone else is doing that rauchy job because it is just unreal of what people do in public restrooms.

I DIED laughing at this:
Quote"Once I ate a ton of grapes. Did you know overeating grapes irritates your stomach? I didn't. I soon found out when I took a gamble on a fart and lost; I was horrified and ran to the bathroom. Unfortunately, I had to throw out my underwear and go commando until lunch time at work."
Honorable mention at:
Quote"One time when I was 9, I was having dinner with family and friends when the bubble guts hit. I'm trying to be cool, but the storm a-brewin' was having none of that; I puckered my butt and pushed my butt into the chair in hopes of smothering it. But nope – the pressure of me pushing my butt down actually made the poop shoot out like putting a finger on a garden hose. It shot up my dress and hit me in the back of the neck. I think I actually died a little that day."

You obviously never worked at a restaurant or fast-food place. Every one of those restrooms have signs stating that
employees must wash their hands after using the restroom.

This is the current state of personal hygiene: New York State produces instructional signs for use in public restrooms describing, without irony,
how to wash one's hands. Sometimes the "nanny state" really is filling in for an actual nanny.
I'm still planning to eat a whole bag of sugar-free Gummy Bears and see what happens.
