Is it just me that used the office lavs for 15 minute power naps

nope, I've done that before too, in my younger occasionally-a-tad-hungover days .

I wonder if Martin himself might visit this thread?

Given that he was considering the topic in his blog, almost three years ago...

And that created its own thread (:o)

What a thread, I nearly had a stroke reading this - you lot need to lighten up a bit.


A loo is for poooooooing in - and doing the little weeeeees as well - no worries OK?


When you are in there, if you need to subdue the sound of a dump, then you pull the chain at the same moment as you let go - sorted:rotfl:


What you must never, ever do however, is what I did a few years ago in a strange office loo.


I did a poo without checking for loo paper first - an absolute no, no!
So, I finished, and looked around for the non existant loo roll - :eek:

Then I spotted some baby/wet wipes, which some very caring mother had left behind.

Once finished, I sensed a gradual warming sensation between the cheeks, which gradually turned into a blazing inferno!

They were not the left behinds of a caring mother, but some house proud "cleaning Ayatollah"

The pain was unbearable, but I could do nothing, except beat a hasty, humble retreat from the - OFFICE LOO

If at all possible I will do everything in my power to avoid using the loo at work for a no.2, and if I absolutely must I NEVER sit on the seat. The only loo I will sit on is at home.

I also flush with my foot.


Probably quite OCDish but I just hate the thought of sitting on a loo where loads of people have had a poo/wee, freaks me out.

The thing is, people who hover can often 'spray' which isn't very nice for the next person who finds wee on the seat.

Cover the seat with loo roll before you sit?

Why flush with foot? You are going to wash your hands anyway? Or use some loo roll to hold the flush handle. The foot thing sounds like an accident waiting to happen

I always check for spray and will use a wipe if necessary, I am a considerate hoverer.


Yes I do realise the foot thing is illogical its just something I've always done, fortunately I'm very flexible.

At least you would have had a super clean, disinfected backside!

Not very nice for the next person though who could get the muck from your shoe on their hand?

What about getting a bit of loo roll & using that to put in between your hand & the flush thing? Plus what if its a button on the wall or a chain you couldn't use your foot then. I've sometimes got a bit of loo roll to use to open the door handle with if I'm somewhere really bad where I've seen people not wash hands.

Eww! That's disgusting! Dirty & ignorant! Some poor soul has to put their hands where your dirty sole has been.

Use your elbow or put some clean paper in your hand that you throw down the pan ASAP after flushing.

:rotfl: I can just imagine :rotfl: how the accident waiting to happen is going to be written up in the accident book!

That sounds like the start of a whole new thread about smokers who have a couple of hours of extra breaks throughout the week.

Hah! I work with someone who goes for a fag on the hour every hour. You can set your watch by them. They then come back into the office reeking of smoke from all the other smokers. I don't get to go for a biscuit 8 times a day......... or even a wee.

Don't get me started :mad:
