I used the bathroom once that day
Before this job I was one of the rude people who did not take into consideration those who cleanup restrooms. So in that sense this job has forever changed me in the sense that I respect what janitors have to do.
Hmmm... perhaps people should have to clean a public restroom once before they are allowed to use public restrooms. Maybe they would have a little more respect for the restroom and for the people who clean them.
It reminds me of a spoken word poet named, "Techno Pagan Octopus Messiah" who has a great piece about having to get an eating license before eating certain foods... mainly meats... one should have to slaughter the animal with one's own (bare) hands or at least witness how they are killed before one is allowed to buy them from a store or restaurant. The commonality here is that knowing what's involved gives us a respect for things we often take for granted. I don't know what happened to this guy, but check out his book if you have the means.
How may times did you use the bathroom? Are you more respectful of public bathrooms given your job?
