Adult diapers duh.

It was suggested I bring this to the attention of a âhigher - upâ. Iâm not (unless something else happens) because itâs too petty. I still canât believe this guy went absolutely nuts because someone moved a dirty toilet plunger. He goes nuts when someone leaves him a note too. So what are we supposed to do? I asked him if he cleaned it and was told it didnât need cleaned. How do we communicate with this doofus?
He kept saying he was going to go to the higher - up because SOMEONE MOVED THE PLUNGER. Uh that guy doesnât care and itâs not like heâs the principal and weâre afraid of him.
My boss was there during most of the incident. I asked him if I should just walk away. He thought about it and said yes. Heâs also felt the wrath of this doofus because someone threw a plastic coffee stir in the regular trash and not the recycling bin. It wasnât him, but he got the blame. First off you donât put unmarked plastic in the recycling bin. Second its not the cleaning guyâs place to lecture people about recycling.
Also, he doesnât like being called âthe cleaning guyâ. Doofus seems to be appropriate.
Sorry about the rant.

They are saying maybe 4-6 inches. Seattle is freaking. Worldâs worse drivers + snow.
They are emptying stores of food⌠for maybe 6 inches of snow.
I dunnoâŚ
We get snow thatâs 4 to 12 inches every few years.
Iâve always had a job that I had to go, especially in bad weather.
Retirement is NICE!

Tell him he is the âjanitorial executiveâ. Or use even bigger words like cathartic or antisepsis technical expertâŚ

I know if you add âbigâ in front of his name he gets mortally offended.
I think everyone here has a story about the doofus.
One of the guys asked if he needed help and he took offense at that. Heâs constantly telling us things he shouldnât. He told me the other day the girls in another department wonât speak to him. I think theyâre winning.

That means your boss should do something about it. Completely inappropriate behavior for anyone, even a cleaning guy doofus custodian [insert PC word here].

Nah. General consensus is the doofus has a mental problem of some kind. So we tolerate him. I know my boss has my back, but he knows Iâm capable of standing up for myself.
But yes. Thatâs what the real problem is. Itâs totally inappropriate behavior. I really think whoever his supervisor is needs to be consulted. His services are contracted through another company.
He sweeps the salt of the steps before it warms up where we donât need it. He traps people in conversations they want no part of. He constantly needs reassuring that heâs doing a good job. When asked to do a better job he flips out. I could write a book about how messed up this person is, but no one wants to read it.
Iâm certain this wonât be the last incident.

In my purely uneducated opinion, he seems to be autistic. I know there is a wide spectrum of what that covers.
I do have fb friends with autistic kids and some of the things they talk about I commend them for being able to deal with it.
And I know there are some parents in the woot! community too.

Autistic is what some of us have guessed too.
Heâs told several of us that in his past âwomen were meanâ to him. Heâs always claiming to be a âgentlemanâ and âwould never hurt anyoneâ. But he tells other people he was physically abused. He has a problem with needing attention. The fit he threw this morning makes me think he could be a little violent. Iâm wondering if heâll be spiteful.
One morning I came in and he was sweeping the rug between the double doors. Itâs winter. Iâm one of the first people here. Why would he do that? He also waits and cleans the bathrooms when everyone first gets here. He changes the trash right before lunch time. He cleans before it really needs it. And we think itâs because he wants someone to see him doing it. And he âhidesâ to listen to conversations.
