Buttergate.....An internal email.

I assumed she meant that after use of facilities, that in order to then see the mirror you stood on the toilet. Again, a major design flaw. I'm imagining people standing on the toilet, looking over the top of the cubicle door across the room to the sinks, where the mirrors are miles up in the air.

So long distance makeup and use of the mirror?

Clearly I'm wrong... but it does make for an amusing interpretation of life in Kildares workplace.

But...it would mean the mirror is so high up above the sink that it's unusable...Who in their right mind would put a mirror up so high?? I just don't understand this one! :rotfl:

we had two ladies loo cubicles next to each other.

I always used to use the one next to the wall because some manky person used to drip wee on the loo seat.

I was on dayshift and most of the other ladies were on shifts, so it was too easy to work out who it was. Dirty mare!!

Now I'm in a different department and it's me, another woman my age and two young admins using the loo and one of them manages to leave streaks all over it. Since folks seem to prefer one loo over another I now select with care!

Not if you have go-go-gadget arms!

Two examples for you from work, where I've been in HR and asked to deal with it...

Women using the bins in the toilets for sanitary waste. So, walking into a cubicle to see the bin filled with used waste. Vile. That was a fun email. Hey ladies, if you do this at home. Good for you. No problem. Here. Please refrain!

Two - in a much larger company there was a disabled loo that people used to pop in for more privacy. Someone obviously had a few stressful days as I was alerted that they were leaving masculine deposits in the sink (lower level as it was a disabled loo). Grim didn't cover it. After having to stake out the loos for a few days it finally stopped. Guess his project had finished.

Why are people so grim at work?

Our case of 'poo smearing' was just in the pan (I think!). But OMG it was horrendously gross. I'm fascinated by what she eats for lunch every day LOL!

Did laugh at the link by Tiddlywinks - it quotes this: "Student James Trott told BBC Wales: "It's a bit stupid really... it's just pretty damn funny.""

Great choice of name for the article!

I don't get the top one... using a bin as opposed to?

Maybe they had the special sanitary waste bins that are provided exactly for this reason. If not, perhaps the ladies were expected to wrap the offending items in something.

Work IT department decided they needed to reset the password I use to log into my email account.

........bet you can't guess how they let me know the new password.



Yep, they emailed it to me :wall:

Maybe I just read it wrong.. seems very odd. The bit about what you do at home, especially!

Surely you'd always wrap it up well. If they just said no to using any bin whatsoever, were they rather they were flushed and clogged the system? That'd be even more grim!

I imagine the 'standing on the loo seat to look in the mirror' thing was people wanting to check their outfit was tidy rather than to do their make up Presumably the mirrors were smallish and only above the sinks. A full length one would have likely solved the problem.
