Civilised pe...I have worked as a restroom cleaner.<br /><br />Civilised people (i.e. the skilled workers in this place) treated the toilets more or less as well as they would at home. No problem there.<br /><br />The ground floor toilets were used by young menial workers. There were unidentified idiots or animals of both sexes. The gents were worse for piss on the floor (in huge puddles) and blockages. The female toilets were worse for toilet paper and paper hand towels littering the floor, and for absurd wastage of the hand towels (evidently some of them like to dry their hands using a huge wad, rather than two or three sheets). Controlling for frequency of use, the disabled toilets were worst of all: gobs of spit on the mirror, and feces on the walls.<br /><br />There was a clear sex difference in manners; the men were almost always polite or indifferent, whereas the female menial workers were often rude whenever they wanted to use the toilet when it was being cleaned (despite their ease of access to other toilets within a minute's walk). On the other hand, the friendliest people were also women.<br /><br />It didn't seem to me that anyone in the building took it upon themselves to pick litter up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-54081314929544974972012-12-17T07:32:31.386-05:002012-12-17T07:32:31.386-05:00Its ultimately only about averages.

For instance, wouldn't you agree that some men - particularly gays - do not maintain public spaces?<br /><br />At the same time, its probably true that women, on average, don't maintain public spaces. But a substantial minority of women do.<br /><br />-CurtisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-41792451508511341862012-12-17T07:24:20.481-05:002012-12-17T07:24:20.481-05:00I think you may be being a little unfair to women ...I think you may be being a little unfair to women here.
