"Answering telephones was not dignified enough for you, so now you progress to cleaning toilets." You all look down on cleaning toilets. You all are above cleaning to begin with.
It is demeaning work, but it is an honest day of work. Scrubbing your shit off the seat and inside the bowl is as mortifying and menial as it can get. Then to actually see you, and know it's you doing what you're doing, further disgusts me. Then I think, well I'm not cleaning toilets in some dive bar at 230am, after all the drunks can't piss straight, or all the vomit and toilet paper glued to the ground. Or I'm not working in the emergency/trauma room with all that gore. I'm not a mortician. I don't work on the garbage line sorting out recycling. So I have to put it into perspective. Yet still, it is a reminder every time I clean these toilets how self important you think you are. It is also among coworkers because I'm the one that gets stuck with cleaning the toilets because they all have something more important to do. And because it's a public place, someone else will take care of it right? So you can treat it however you want, and differently than how you do at home, right? Yet, I think what someone does in public is a small extension of their home, meaning, I'm sure you don't clean your own toilets at home too. How you get shit smears on the toilet seat is beyond me, but what's further is how you just leave it there? So I clean the toilets at the end of the day, and just remember, I have a say in how I choose to clean them ready for you to use the next day.
