So here is a copy of the email I sent to my boss earlier today:

XXXX,
It has come to my attention what is causing the putrid smell in the women’s restroom.  The drain(s?) in the floor have backed up and need cleaned out (please lots of bleach).  That smell will not go away on its own, and is a different breed than the normal inconvenience of a bathroom with no air circulation on a floor with this many people using it that we have all resigned to dealing with on a regular basis.
As I hope this is going to be passed on I would like to again bring up the broken faucet (closest to the door), i cannot imagine how much water has been wasted in the last weeks.

THANKS, PLEASE HELP.

-OK, so since my boss is great she did not hesitate to pass this on, and I assure you it is awful, I am obviously not the only one with a complaint.  So’s you know what the landlord says?  That the smell is CAUSED by the humidity.  Right.  I  bet my friends in the plumbing business wish they could get away with telling customers ”just deal with it, its the humidity and should dissapate on its own”, when they call in with a drain problem that is causing a rancid smell.  Enhanced by heat and humidity? possibly, telling us to deal with it and not even spending the dough it would take to send one guy over with a gallon of bleach- REDICULOUS!  I just got back from vacation where i sit on a plywood box with a hole on the top if I need a private place to dump, and I like that smell better.  At least its fresh, ya know?  I’ll take fresh kybo type smell then rotton backed up sewer drain smell any day of the week.

REVOLT fellow bathroom users, we dont have to take this kind of abuse!  They are only telling us that because they think we are that stupid that we will just take these stupid excuses as gospel.  REFUSE to be an ignorant citifolk.  EDUCATE onself on the ways of plumbing 101. 

Or maybe just go puke in front of someone important’s office.  maybe then they’ll listen.

Just another gripe about the less than average quality of the bathroom at the workplace…

If I am in stall 2, just go to 3,4,or 5.  Thats it, period.  Why do you want to pee and or poo so close to me.  That stinking bathroom with the backed up drain and poor air circulation is bad enough as it is.  And, if you want to get down to it, i really can take enormous dumps with you right there if you really want me to, but you know what? i bet you don’t.  so please, just give me some space to do my business.
