    Sink - "Deal with it, Karen!"

    Font - So you want a clean toilet? Okie-dokie! M OC This happened yesterday and my brother suggested I put it on here. I was busy cleaning the sinks in a restroom when a Wild Karen (scientific name: Iwanticus Itnowidus) stormed in with her 2 (clearly) embarrassed children. She pointed to an empty stall. "I want that toilet cleaned now."

    Font - It was a slow night and I was bored so I said (in my sweetest hospitality voice and with every intention of having some fun at her expense) "Of course ma'am, just let me change my gloves."

    Font - I change my gloves, making a show of checking for holes in the material, before pushing my cart to the stall. I grab the chemical with the longest dwell time (3 minutes, which is "forever" in guest time) and spray down the toilet. I put the chemical back on the cart and wipe down the toilet. I was in the process of changing out my gloves when Wild Karen tried to push me aside. (I'm a big woman at 275 lbs of mostly muscle so it's like trying to push over a brick wall).

    Font - "Oh no, ma'am I'm not done yet. I have to disinfect the toilet. Want it super clean for you." "How long will that take?" Wild Karen asked, impatient). "My youngest really has to go."
  • 06
    Font - "Oh, about three minutes." I say, setting the timer on my work phone and holding it up to her to show it. "But if you want, you're more than welcome to use any of the other stalls I've cleaned...which is all of them." "This is ridiculous!" She huffed, dragging her kids to another stall. The kids shot me an apologetic look as she shoved them in, went in herself and closed the stall door.

    Font - I turned up the volume on my work phone so she'd hear the timer go off as I guessed she'd be finished long after the toilet was disinfected. And I was right. I had finished wiping down the toilet when Wild Karen and her two kids came out. "I'm going to complain to your manager about how long you took!" She hollered as she stormed out.

    Font - "Have a good night then!" I shouted after her. Later that night, I was turning in my equipment when Miss Heroine (who appeared in a previous MC story involving a manager and a compactor) came up, struggling not to laugh.
  • 09
    Font - "I understand you took too long to clean a toilet." She said before bursting into laughter. I laughed right back and said "Well, she asked me to clean it."

    Font - PlatypusDream 30 min. ago Did they use the handicap stall? Because every other bathroom stall I've encountered is barely big enough for me; can't imagine trying to also get 2 kids in there!
