Shoeprints.....on my toilet seat

What can possibly be going thru a person's mind when they stand/squat on a toilet seat (to do their "business" i presume - otherwise why would they be in a toilet ....hmmmm....that one probably deserves more thought...)

Which century or era do they belong to? Have they just come out of hibernation from the deepest, darkest recesses of some underground cave that went deep into the annals of this planet EARTH?

The Discovery
Our office is similar to the Ally McBeal's office in that our toilet is also unisex. We have people coming in for training sessions and of course during the course of their training they will need to use the loos. As we are training adults - professionals i might add - we expected a certain level of publicly accepted behaviour.

Malaysians are used to the fact that their toilets are always wet. This is because the majority of the population of Malaysia are Muslims and they do not use toilet paper only water to clean up. So we were prepared for the wet toilets (and constant mopping) but i did not expect to find ... SHOEPRINTS ON MY TOILET SEAT!

Having said that i have heard that in the universities in Australia - a special orientation program for Malaysian and Chinese nationals have been prepared. In it they are told repeatedly - NOT TO STAND/SQUAT ON THE TOILET SEAT!

Anyway, there they were! I felt so violated...so dirty...i mean this was the seat i would have to sit on and there they were - black footprints where my precious bum bum would be. Thoughts of eek and eew filled my head. Once the shock had worn off then the anger set in. I wanted to grab the guilty stepper of toilet seats and slap him as hard as possible and call him (it's definitely a him as the shoeprints were too big for a woman and i did check out all the ladies feet size - discretely of course) horrible names and send him to an etiquette school!

Soon after i calmed down i went online to search for cute pics to illustrate the "No standing/squatting" policy in our office toilets. But could find none. So i settled on just large bold print text with loads of exclamation marks for better effectiveness! I prepared 2 for each of my small cubicles. All my posters were placed in plain sight - regardless if you just entered the toilet or were standing up to take a leak or sitting down (eeeeeewww) to do bigger business.

And two days later - there they were again! Not a lot you can do - short of installing a camera and violating someone's privacy. But thing is whilst we are so careful not to violate their rights to use the toilet privately, they are violating our rights to use the toilet by their inability or careless attitude towards other people's consideration. Honestly when i saw shoeprints on my toilet seat - i felt really really violated (about the same feeling i had when i was molested)

Profile of A Stepper
The suspects were all "professionals" in their field of work (pun intended). They looked normal, well dressed (well not all). Some looked a bit dodgy. Mostly Males. Big Dirty Shoes.

Another disgusting habit - The men's inability to lift the toilet seat to pee. Leaving spray marks all over the seat! That's just gross!! I mean - do they not learn anything in school? Are they so arrogant to think that there's always someone to clean up the mess?

Profile of a Toilet Seat Sprayer
Definitely Male
short sighted
Bad with guns or projectiles
High probablity of a short dick(too small to manouvre)
Arrogant or ignornant
High probability a Stepper

These bright sparks need to FALL in to their own pee/poo to be taught a lesson! Idiots... Even if they don't want to sit, can crouch over it right?? El stupido...

When we come over, I will draw you a BIG picture of stick figure squatting on the bowl with BIG words: JANGAN or else...
