I work in a town that has a lot of trucker traffic with very little locals, they treat those toilets like they are just straight holes in the ground, never flush, never clean the seats if they miss, sweat stains stuck on after just an hour without cleaning.

But as I cleaned the remnants of somebody's breakfast dinner lunch off of the rim and floor. I had the thought that this can't be the absolute worst right?

In the past I worked with severely mentally ill folks, and every so often you'd meet one who had a creative streak expressed with fecal "paints". I've also worked with folks with big, years-long drug addictions, and "explosive diarrhea out of nowhere" doesn't even begin to cover it.

Just walk away. In the "old" days we had to clean up stuff like that, but a decade or so ago they started requiring real hazmat response to anything that was wet - blood, excrement, vomit, indeterminate, etc. No one without medical quality gloves, face shield, and more should be interacting with anyone else's "stuff". Like I was taught in my last blood-born pathogens class: If it's wet and it's not yours, don't touch it.

I would love a hazmat suit in every workplace. More people = more juicy disasters
