    The worst thing about using the office loo, is when you have to go, but there is a big problem - and I mean a big problem! I am talking about the log which has been left by the previous visitor - the log which defies all efforts to flush it away. You can pull that handle as many times as you like, use up hundreds of litres of water, but when the torrent subsides, there it is, still lurking there, sullenly challenging you to try and dispose of it.
    The beast is always large (gigantic would sometimes be a fitting adjective), and it always reeks, and it leaves you wondering what sort of person could give birth to such an anomoly?

    The worst thing about this situation, is when you have finished and flushed, it is still there, and one thing is certain, if anyone else is waiting to go after you, then -



    YOU ARE GOING TO GET THE BLAME FOR IT;)

    This had made me :rotfl: and :eek: where I work there are 3 toilets and no windows, can be nasty! But by far the worse is blood/pee/poo on seat, that makes me want to heave!
  • Floaters. They're quite a sight to see. Pull the flush and watch it tumble around and around in the water. Usually a pile of loo roll strategically placed on top weighs it down. My hubby is notorious for his 'floaty-lights' :D

    I am laughing so much at some of the descriptions, I'm known for my love of a good poo story!
  • Not work related, but I once had to nip into a high street bookies to use the loo.......the smell I made was terrible and when I opened the door a woman was waiting - she took two steps inside, recoiled as if on elastic and shouted 'Oh Christ!' really loudly.

    I just legged it. :o

    My DH as well; we call his efforts 'Maltesers'. :D

    I never poo at work, I just never get the "urge"!! I only seem to need to poo at home. It's odd, if I needed to go at work I would but I never do.

  • Don't ask me why i'm interested....but anyhoo!!

    This is one for the girls. Do you avoid using the work loo's for a 'number 2'? I remember years ago a female colleague compained that the men in our office used the toilets for a number 2 and how disgusting it was. Is this the general consensus amongst women?

    P.S. I'm a woman!

    How weird; me and my other 2 female colleagues were talking about this very subject last week. Their view is if you have to go then you have to go; whereas I will hold on til I get home. I hate being in a loo when somebody occupying the next stall is farting and squelching whilst trying to curl one out them the awful stench. Nope; I hold it in, even if it bloody hurts!

    It's interesting this thing about embarrassment at using the toilets. Japanese toilets, apparently, have sounds that they play, like running water or music, because a lot of the women are too embarrassed at the thought of other toilet users hearing them having a wee!

    I used the loo in a petrol station recently that had the sound of tweeting birds piped into there!
