I work in a small office with four other women. There is one woman that constantly urinates on the toilet seat and leaves other lovely bodily fluids and hairs behind as well. One of my co-workers and I have gone as far as to put a sign on the toilets reading "Please Wipe the Seat!!!", but to no avail. Although we know for sure that it is this one woman doing it, no one in the office is close to her, so no one wants to approach her about it. Any ideas?

You could pass it off to a supervisor. However, from your tale, I am guessing that one of you women IS the supervisor, so that isn't gonna cut it (if one of you IS the supervisor, it is that person's job to approach!).
If you are all really wary of approaching her directly (which is the best way to handle this situation, no one likes knowing they've been the subject of office discussion), try writing her an "anonymous" letter and leaving it on her desk.
Your other option is to make life so miserable for her that she quits. (That isn't very nice though, and the karma will come around to you, so I don't recommend this option).
You guys could start a conversation in the office about how disgusting it is to always have the seats dirty. Do this very loudly and involve her in the discussion. Then be sure that she knows someone in the office is doing it and that you are aware of it and find it gross. That way you aren't directly accusing her and aren't putting the spotlight on her, but you are all discussing the problem together and making it very apparent.

Request that management require the use of those disposable toilet seat covers. Either that or put an "out of order sign" on the door and tell everyone but her that it is bogus.
How can a woman pee on the seat? Is she standing up??

Maybe install the paper seat covers and a sanitary napkin disposal bin. Maybe she is trying to do the "hover" and is not really good at it. Maybe, you should just get everyone together and maybe have the boss say a little something about it. They also make a self cleaning toilet seat, if whoever is in charge could do that for y'all. (P.S. Your screen name is so cute!) Try to have a good day and keep a dry bottom!

That's nasty. We have a Very similar situation at my place of work.
Thus far we've put up signs too. However, it hasn't changed things.
I suppose you could speak with management about it and have them talk to her. Other than that we haven't been able to come up with a solution.
I suggest putting Lysol in the bathroom if this matter isn't resolved.
I feel your pain >.<

fairness would dictate that in the adventure that they prefer to affix after the actual undeniable truth that they pony up an equivalent percentage. in case your enter is $15 they ought to pay $15. the in reality honest approach is that truly everyone in the pool pay a similar quantity. To the guy who thinks you do not choose them to affix, tell them you do not desire them to pay decrease than some thing else of the pool. in case your crew had paid out all the money somewhat of letting it holiday actually everyone would pay $5. This week you're utilising you money to purchase better tickets no longer theirs. in the adventure that they choose in pay a similar. straight forward. Or they could wait until eventually the subsequent week and if no winnings they could then pay the unique $5 once you do. it's going to make the distribution of the split mush harder later to at least some thing decrease than equivalent funding. it is your winnings this week its you money..

Someone needs to get close to her and talk to her about other things, then bring in a conversation about how discusting it is when women don't clean up after themselves. No other way around it, someone MUST discuss this with her!
Or, bring your own seat covers to work!

Put a note that says "If you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be neat and wipe the seat."
I worked in an office of 100s of women... mostly it was neat, but there were the occasional dribbles left... which totally made me want to vomit when I was pregnant.. it was terrible!! Good luck

What's worse, approaching her and feeling uncomfortable, or feeling disgusting every time you enter the rest room? At this point don't worry about her feelings, she clearly has no regard for yours. If all else fails print your question and all the answers and hang that in the bathroom.

Carry anti-microbial wipes with you, like the Clorox ones. Thats a good start.

How awful, maybe you could get one of those cover things like they have in some public restrooms. I think I'd just have to confront her. There is no sense in that kind of nastiness.
