On the face of it it appears misguided and foolish.
Indeed. Could land you in a world of shit.
For the angry stage - is that before or after denial?
Lets not gloss over this one folks. This needs picking apart. What was the rational behind this unwritten rule? On the face of it it appears misguided and foolish.
TBH I've heard of this practise. Basically you don't stink out your own bogs when you can do it to another departments.

One dept at a previous job had a sign on the door saying ‘No sit downers!’ (classy like) on the adjoining loo, as apparently the smells and, more likely, sounds could permeate the walls into the office.
I’m pretty sure HR never went down that part of the building, as it was also a disabled toilet.
I got stuck in a lift at the Mount Pleasant sorting offic in London. We were installing a Coke Vending Machine and didn’t have enough batteries for the stair climber sack barrow that we used, so decided to use the lift. It was such a snug fit in the lift we thought it would be a good idea for me to go in the lift first so I could push it out when we arrived at the right floor. Unfortunately the lift stopped about 1in short of the floor so I couldn’t push the the vendor out. I was stuck at the back of the lift with nose pretty much pressed up to the vending machine for about 45mins.
I learned a valuable lesson that day.
Never fart before the doors are actually open?
Original post was 4 hours ago and no closure (other than the doors)?
Gonna get messy....

There can be appropriate moments... I was in a lift with a colleague after a 2hr liquid lunch (joy of flexi time). Our dept was on the 14th floor and on about the 5th floor all bar us got out. Just before the doors shut I let rip & exited. He was not happy with 1) the stench & 2) the looks of disapproval from people getting on at other floors!!
such immature behaviour shouldn't be funny. But it is 😆
Which STWer would you most like/hate to be stuck in a lift with?
No point having the engineer in there with you. You want him in the motor room, sorting the issue out 😜
Re never sullying your own floors toilets, I used to work with someone who practiced "poo-lette". Get in the lift, close your eyes and press a random button. That was then the chosen floor for said ablutions. This was in a 15 storey shared office block but where all the toilets were the public side of any security doors
Are you still there OP?
2 lifts in liverpool staff almost drowned as the basements where flooded and they pressed the basement button, in a not used building fr quite a while, lift decended and the ewate suddenly came flooding in through the doors, since then one building was always advised that the lift should be sent down to baseent empty and then returned up to check for water ingress.
Also got trapped in a lift at tesco chester, lady who i was with but didnt know, didnt seem amused when i said at least we have plenty of food in the trollies, she just wanted a wee, so forced doors open, but floor was about 2 foot below the lift floor level, we dropped out back into the shop and lifted trolles out and then had to use another lift up to the car park.
Worringly staff just ignored us, and carried on working on tills.
I assume Op is dead. That is a shame, he's been hanging around this forum for a while.
Oh well.
Yeah, they rarely get above 1G
You got a little applause from here, nicely done
Not dead..! Just busy.
Was in there for just under an hour.
Lift had stopped about 4' below the floor level. Doors were opened and I was able to climb out.
Wasn't much of a drama.... Climbing back in and having to get all the tools, ladders and scaffold tower out before handballing everything down to the basement was a drama.
Did you perform a Stinky Vince?
I think my worst fear would be major stomach trouble in such a situation 😀
Those that are Sheffield based, don’t use the lift if you’re ever in Boots (High Street), that thing breaks down all the time! You do get some free advantage card points for your inconvenience though 😂.
