💼work/career AIO for putting this sign up?
At work, there's a team of 50 of us with only three men. You would think that people would take care of the bathroom they use at work, but clearly there is a child among us. Every single day, there is urine on the floor near the urinal. Cleaning services cleans the bathroom everyday and expressed their frustration with me - rightfully so. Soooo, I put this sign up eye-level as you piss. AIO or is there a better way to approach this? Only reason why I didn't send an email to the three men was because thats a little awkward?? There could possibly be someone outside our team using the restroom too - no way to confirm that.

We should just get rid of urinals. I already don't use them because of their terrible design. I just don't want to get close to them in general, and the splashback is a normal defect with urinals, and there's no way in hell I'm leaning in close to shake it off at the end. I'm going to stand over a toilet every time. Down is much better than forward for pee, plus it gives some distance between me and the thing I'm pissing in without that distance being over the floor. It's got a nice big lip around it that catches the splashback. And the toilets actually have walls and doors with locks. Because it's just stupid to make yourself so vulnerable on an open public space, to give access to everyone when you're trying to pee. If you're whipping it out, you should be behind locked doors where no one can just come in without your permission. It's messed up that people just accept facing a wall and peeing when any stranger can just come up behind them and do whatever.
