Not many had a shite though as the done thing was to have one earlier in the day. One of the first jobs I ever had, I went towards the bog from the break room. "Where do you think you're going?" asked one of the older workers. When I told him he told me to sit back down and gave me some advice which has lasted me in good stead in the 40 years since; "Always shite on company time, son." 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I used to work with a guy who would only drink during the week, never at weekends, as he thought it best to recover from a hangover on their time. I couldn't do that - being rough as f**k at work all week. Plus he mororbiked into work every day. I was sure he'd end up being done for drink driving. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Touching moment at work today. The look of surprise and delight on my colleague's face was priceless as he was handed his card and cake. Turns out the surprise was due to his birthday being the 22nd of March, but still. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A place I worked in before we knocked up some basic code that you could start and stop when you went for a shite. It would eventually output a spreadsheet of how much money you earned and how much time you spent doing a shit in work. Time well spent I must say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alert Mongoose Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 What’s the etiquette on using the disabled toilet at work?

If I want a coffee when I’m in work I get one from the vending machine or pop downstairs to Pret or whatever. It’s better not to involve other people, like with most things. I agree. I've never had the misfortune of working on such an environment but my missus had this in her last job where they had a 'tea rota'. I never understood why one person had to make tea for everybody. If you want a cup of tea, make it yourself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
