  • Since J.D. wouldn't share details about a patient due to doctor-patient confidentiality, he changed J.D.'s locker combination and refuses to share the new combination due to janitor-locker confidentiality. ("My Sex Buddy")

  • Filled a pie with laxatives, and tried to get J.D. to eat a piece.

When J.D. asked "Who would do this to themselves?", Janitor answered, "Totally worth it". ("My Changing Ways")
  • Made several cardboard cutouts of J.D. to place around the hospital to get J.D. in trouble without getting near him (J.D. used a group of them to try to hide from Dr. Cox). ("My Intern's Eyes")

    • J.D. being arrested for a DUI.

    • The original intent of the Janitor's plan was to have J.D. attacked by a wolf, but the wolf attacked the Janitor instead.

When confronted by Dr. Kelso, he says "All I think is that leather never goes out of style. And if you're gonna keep your money in a pickle jar, you should probably know how much is in there. And that it never hurts to buy your invalid wife something nice, so maybe she can feel pretty. And these are general thoughts about life. Nothing specific to you". ("My Urologist")
  • Taped Dr. Kelso destroying his van, and then used the tape to get Dr. Kelso to say, over the intercom, "I feel compelled to tell you that I do, in fact, fear the Janitor.
