Has this guy from Borderlands ever cleaned a toilet?Â
Handsome Jack: It was one of many household duties his grandma saw him fulfill. Her authoritarian streak taught him a lot, about discipline, hard work, most importantly about the value of sucking it up. See, he went from a low level programmer to the CEO because he wasnât scared of tasks that are gross, dirty, or even demeaning. He'd say that his experience with cleaning toilets is the cornerstone of his success, actually. And that's exactly why being made to lick the toilet clean was an Awesome thing to happen to him as a child.
Rhys Strongfork: Blew up a space station over getting demoted to janitor. He would not even touch a mop. Cleaning is simply something that happens to other people. As the CEO of Atlas he does however make sure that those unfortunate other people are getting paid well. Mostly due to his own near toilet cleaning experience.
Timothy Lawrence: Dodger of chores: electric boogaloo. But he is a significantly lesser offender than Rhys. Before the double program, Tim had to make a living somehow, right. He cleaned a rather fair share of toilets. And he wonât clean even one more, he refuses. There is a limit to the amount of piss a guy can wipe up in a lifetime. He gets out of cleaning anything by being Weaponized Incompetence incarnated.
Katagawa Jr.: In practice, no, but he views the siblicide he committed as a metaphorical cleaning of shit.Â
Roland: Was put on latrine duty during his service in Crimson Lances. As the commander of the Crimson Raiders, he never cleans toilets, but he does meticulously inspect them. If the conditions are not up to his standard he has a stern word with whoever is tasked with keeping things clean.Â
Wainwright Jakobs: No Jakobs has cleaned a toilet in three generations. But Wainwright doesn't act like he hasn't. At least.
