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.

I understand how you felt about it. I work as a nurse, and have to clean that kind of mess every morning when I get to work. But that's life. When I'm old, I hope there'll be someone to clean behind me, and that she won't hate me for it, that makes it easier.

I don't understand the phrasing. How did she make it just fine if there was a poo trail from the couch? FYW

I was just coming on to ask that. Did she make it? Or did she shit all over the floor? Those are two very different outcomes.

YDI for your poor story telling ability along with the fact that you probably didn't have to clean up the poo. YDI for sure.

Where I work a CNA would have had to clean it up. The housekeepers get paid the same as us, and all they do is mop the floors and dust the light fixtures in the hallways. They won't even flush a toilet. Last week someone left me a surprise in the toilet so I flushed it and walked away, thinking everything went down. Apparently it did not because a housekeeper yelled at me for not flushing and then stood there and looked at me until I dropped what I was doing to go flush it again.

I agree that having to clean up in that situation would suck, but hey, you had to know that this would happen sooner or later when you took the job.

Yeah, it sucks, but that's part of the job description, right? If you don't want to have to do that, find another job. YDI
