Today, at the old folk's home where I work as a housekeeper, a resident was holding herself on the way to the bathroom. I hoped she wouldn't leave a mess. She made it just fine. I was then informed that she had left a crap trail from the couch, more than 20ft away. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I spent the first two hours of my shift cleaning up liquid poo after an elderly lady sat in one of our chairs and promptly let go of her bowels. I was so embarrassed for her that I even bought her a towel, underwear, and a pair of pants. She then thanked one of my coworkers for all the help. FML
Today, I went into the tanning room at work, where the lady in there last had decided the trash can was a toilet and pooped in it. Before she sat, she took the time to wrap the edges in paper towels, I guess in case anyone else had done this before her. I had to clean it up. FML
Today, I was at work at McDonald's, at the front counter when an elderly lady came up to me and whispered, "I just shit everywhere in your restroom," then turned around and walked out the door. FML
Today, coming home, I discovered that my dog had left me a beautiful mound of poop in the middle of the corridor. He'd made an effort, though: there was a roll of shredded toilet paper next to it. FML
Today, I stepped in dog shit, barefoot, in my own bathroom. The dog had been outside for two hours earlier, and I'd watched him take a dump. Apparently he was saving some for when he got back in the house. FML
Today, my boss used the restroom at work. She returned and told me I needed to go clean the toilet because "someone left a mess in there." It was her mess. FML
Today, I'd just finished cleaning the bathrooms at work when I saw a young boy go in. Of course, I thought nothing of it until I had to use the bathroom myself ten minutes later. The kid had taken a shit and missed the toilet completely. FML
Today, I went to the bathroom. On my way back, I found a small piece of trash in the hallway so I picked it up. It was cat poop. FML
Today, I found dog poop in my room that had probably been there for days. My girlfriend, who was watching the house, said she didn't realize it was there, because she thought it was the smell of her own farts. FML
Today, I work maintenance at a warehouse store. I had to clean the men's stall because someone had pooped on the seat, the floor, and got some on the wall. When I took my break, I noticed that my fellow maintenance coworker had poop on his pants and shoes. I then realized that I just cleaned up his “mess.” FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Omg I'm a CNA and I happen to be in Arizona as well. I had an obese patient who was put on water pills and she refused to get up to go pee so she would go all over the floor and her bed and I had to clean it up. Like every half hour. I feel your pain, lady.

wow, yours is actually worse because at least this old lady tried making it to the bathroom, but to have a person refuse to even try to make it to the bathroom, knowing you're going to have to clean it up... THAT'S an FML

She probably left the crap trail so she could find her way back to the couch. For all you know she gets lost easily in her old age. Hopefully you didn't clean it up until she got back.

I think it's more of a FHL, I'm sure she was exremely embarassed, I feel really bad for her.

I feel sorry for both of you. I had to care for my 88 year old grandmother at the end of her life and she felt very bad anytime it would happen, but shit is shit and it's difficult to be cheerful when you're cleaning it up. Being in the military means you may get shot, but you're not exactly thrilled when you catch a bullet. It still sucks.

FYL. I work at a senior home as well, and I know you know it happens, but it still sucks! something very similar happened at work the other day, but they sent the other team to clean it up so I got lucky :)

If you don't want to deal with incontinence, then don't work as a housekeeper at a place like that. It's a shitty job, pun intended.

Better to deal with incontinence then incompetence. ;)

That really blows. At least you have a job.

Ugh, FHL and FYL. I disagree with people saying that it's the OP's fault for choosing the job. She probably had no other choice for a job. If you're in the United States, you probably know that it's hard to get a job right now. Just because you get a job doesn't mean you have to like doing it. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be delighted to clean up somebody else's shit either. Sometimes you have to do shitty jobs in order to have enough money to support yourself and your family. That lady must have been humiliated though. Elderly people don't have great control of their muscles anymore, so incontinence tends to become a problem. This is why I don't ever want to be old, because of all the damn problems. Hopefully the lady finds a way to treat her incontinence.

not really an FML. you kind of have to expect that stuff with that job.
