The dirtiest job I had to do with clean up campgrounds for a local ranger district (US Forest Service). I would shovel out ash from the fire pits, empty garbage cans, pick up garbage, and the worst....clean the outhouses! We would use a mixture of pine oil (think Pinesol) and bleach and a large pump sprayer....the same kind you spray weeds and such with. We then would spray the riser and floor with this stuff, let it stand a little, then scrub it all down with a toilet brush that was attached to a broom handle. I swear some people ate glue! We would also have to fish out any garbage people threw down the toilet that wouldnt be able to be sucked up by the septic service.....now that was a truck you never wanted to have to follow down the road! We wold get back to the barn reeking of pine and bleach for the rest of the day. You eventually got smart and kept a pair of clothes and shoes specifically to use on days you had to clean the toilets. It wasnt a horrible job, we often had to drive a long ways to get to a toilet set up at the start of a popular trail head. So we got paid to drive through the forest for an hour one way to spend 30 minutes cleaning a toilet.

Ah! I did similar work when I was 14! It wasn't the dirtiest job, but it was close, and certainly the grossest. I worked in a pool house and among other things, had to clean the restrooms with this nasty eye watering industrial cleaner, necessary to kill all the disgusting things running over the mildewed floors, like overflow from the toilets. Indeed, I had to unplug more than my fair share of them. Yeah, people DO eat glue, or maybe entire horses, and they don't chew!

Haha! My question is not the fact of what they eat.....it's why can't they clean up after themselves after they finish. How do u leave it on the seat or wipe it on the wall when there is toilet paper right there next to where u just smeared it? People can just be nasty in public bathrooms. Makes u wonder what their home looks like!
