The Bathroom

I know that most of you tend to be sanitary in the use and cleaning of your bathrooms at home. I will say that the 4th floor women's bathroom at work is pure filth. Use your imaginations. And people, hand washing is expected.
And a majority of said people are nurses.

Anyway...the lighting in the bathroom is unacceptable. There are 5 stalls. And only adequate lighting in two. The wheelchair accessible one (which I tend not to use a) because I am not in a wheelchair and b) because my feet don't touch the ground when sitting on the toilet) and stall #2.

I used to use stall #2 regularly, due to the acceptable lighting. However, stall #2 has now become bidet-like in nature. No, I take that back - it is like a fountain in the park.

When it flushes - and they are automatic flushers, which you know are not always accurate at detecting when someone has evacuated the seat fully - stall #2's toilet EXPLODES with water. If you are standing in there, you will get soaked. There is water on the stall walls. There is water on the floors.

And I don't like it.

Facing straight toward you on the toilet flush mechanism is a cap that has a hex pattern like a bolt. If it is loose enough to remove by hand just unscrew it. Then use a screwdriver on the screw head (usually a straight bit) to adjust the flush amount.

Or you could probably call maintenance and tell them.

Calling maintenance resulted in the exoplosions. I think I will try to fix it, thanks for the suggestions.
