  This stuff is only disgusting because of the way people tend to look at it.
  
  so... it's disgusting for the reasons that anything is disgusting
context: Bodily waste can literally be a biohazard. Plus it stinks. It's gross.
  And, if anything, this should increase the amount of respect people have for janitors. People look down on it simply because they're selfish idiots who feel the need to be "above" someone, but janitors are some of the most important and underpaid people out there. Be proud of what you do, because it enables the rest of us to feel civilized and sanitary. 
  If all janitors stopped showing up to work, those people who look down upon them would be among the first to complain. >
  
  I'm pretty sure OP's view is something most janitors acquire after they get used to it. >
  
  I understand getting used to it, but only picking up poop with a glove because it was more convenient is a problem, lol. C-diff is so contagious that I wouldn't be picking up any poop at all. >
  
  Sounds no different to being a nurse. >
  
  I've done janitorial work in medical facilities, it's a lot different than working in a movie theater or an office building.  In a medical facility, the doctors, the nursing staff and the janitorial staff are all in total agreement that there is absolutely no such thing as "good enough", everything has to be done properly to code and often needs to be documented.
  Vacuuming a movie theater hallway was a job I could have (and have) done stoned, but in a medical facility, the thing you forget to disinfect could be the thing that kills a patient or is ground zero of an outbreak. >
  
  I think people have an instinctual aversion to poop, especially, because of the potential of bacterial poisoning. I don't think you can become sick from inhaling poop smells all the time, but you definitely don't want to go around touching poop with your bare hands at all. >
  
  Human poop is definitely not something that washes off of skin easily. You'll be stuck with the smell for a while. >
  
  Dirty Jobs is such a good show. We need people like you, OP! >
  
  The host is a bullshit artist though >
  
  Why do you think that?
  Edit: People on Reddit are in their own little bubble. They downvote an innocent question. Mike Rowe may be anti-union, but at least he is for free speech and encouraging discussion. >
  
  I was gonna say. But comment below shows it. 
  Dude is anti union fukin actor >
  
  Strong words to describe someone just because they have a different opinion >
  
  Don't even bother with these people. I bet they buy things off of Amazon and Amazon is one of the most anti-union companies out there. Bunch of hypocrites.
