A similar work situation happened to me. The restroom was shared by about 10 offices for retail stores, and the possible suspects were all impeccably dressed, ultra snooty, buyers, accounting & finance types (oops! like us!). It only happened in one stall, and three of us in our office compared times we'd witness this mess, but couldn't figure out who it was. All the while, the others we passed in the hall probably thought that it was us! Anyway, our office was the second closest (Disney Store was closer, but don't they have their own "Castrooms"?) One day, the CFO and I tried the Worst Echoing Hallway Stakeout in spike heels ever. Our plan was to wait around the corner of the cavernous tile hallway, and appear to be rounding the corner by our office when we heard someone else leave the restroom of offense. On top of that, we had alternating fits of church giggles whenever we'd hear someone walking down the hall, so our cover was questionable at best. The CFO even started her own little educational protest signage campaign, leaving increasingly outraged notes to the offender on the stall of disgrace door. For us, it wasn't a HR problem, as it was a shared space, but about 6 months later, keys were issued to the offices for this restroom, the mystery pee-er (what a word to spell!) ceased to leave evidence, and we never did figure out who it was! What's funny in retrospect was that we all had been so forgiving in our theories when we all found out we'd all seen evidence of this. "Maybe it's someone with a bad back." and even thinking that it was the tall, thin woman on the floor, and thusly she must be a crossdressing man having trouble with clothing and equipment. Yes, that's what working 12 hour days dressed to the nines in a teency li'l office and being an adult is all about! HA!
