Massive reels of loo roll fitted in the office traps. The force required to turn the roll in the dispenser is greater than the tear strength of the paper.
Only a matter of time before someone breaks open the dispensers and puts the rolls back on top of the cisterns. Where they were prior to them fixing the dispensers that presumably had been broken because the force required to turn the roll was greater than the tear strength of the paper.
But it has good WiFi coverage right?
Excellent!
Ours is worse.
Combine useless paper dispensers, with 4 traps, 2 of which are semi permanently blocked because our clients neither have solid poos, or an ability to use anything less than a mile of looroll per visit. The third has a broken lock and the 4th is the disabled loo.
And contactless flushing, which means if you're 6ft+ you shoulder activates the flush unless you adopt a hamstring numbing hunch to avoid the wall.
There is no wi-fi.
oh yes. Not only do they tear, they also tear somewhere around the roll, not at the exit point of the dispenser. So you then need either the dexterity of a yorkshire vet to get elbow deep into the dispenser trying to find the end, or you have to manipulate the roll round to get the end to the exit point.
Then, because the paper is microns thick, and not visible without an upside down periscope, locating the ridge where end sits flat against the roll becomes impossible and you vainly rotate the roll in the forlorn hope the hidden end suddenly decides to reveal itself.
And then repeat, all over again.
Then who gives a shit? I mean literally, who goes for a poo at the office instead of the comfort of their own home?
They're only checking Ladbrokes or STW, neither of which needs paper but they both need good interwebery
My work allocate exactly 2 mins of light to finish your poo, if you don't hit that deadline you either have to sit in the dark or open the cubicle door and walk around to activate the PIR sensor.

If you hate your job then a 15min dump on company time is bliss.

It's not a courtesy flush when the only courtesy extended is surprising you with the sudden surprise of an icy splashback.

Eh? Who DOESN'T, do you mean? A 10 minute sit down, at my hourly rate, it's like being paid £2.50 for doing something I actually rather enjoy.

That darkness was a blessing in the old office of my last job. It was almost like a sensory depravation experiment, my own fortress of solitude and thinking in a crazy world.
But only if you were doing twos. If you were peeing in the urinal it was like some sort of messed up roulette that tested your balance and your ability to aim.

The one thing I miss since retiring is being paid to have a crap.
Not very work safe but apt
i used to get paid to poo.
but these days the facilities arent up to scratch, plus the thought of going cheek to cheek with some of the folks that work in the same building sends shivers down my spine.
Poo at home. clean, tidy, decent bog roll, ipad.... dreams.
open the cubicle door and walk around to activate the PIR sensor.
Before wiping is complete?
"Actually rather enjoy" perhaps a bit strong for the experience but otherwise whole heatedly agree why shit for free when you can be paid to!? 😆

How would you know in the dark?
You can't hurry these things. That way is the way of the pile
Council maintained buildings, they'll re-arrange the stalls, but the placement of the throne stays in the original position 🤦♂️

Being older and suffering from mild IBS, I couldn't even contemplate only using my home loo. Enjoy your good health (while it lasts)
One unit ( new build) I worked in had a shower between the mens and womens changing room for both to use. It was around 1m wide room. door each side opening inwards. When you used it to secure the door you dropped down a shelf for a seat that blocked both doors. Seems like a real neat solution? there was no way of opening either door if somone collapsed etc in the shower with the seat/shelf down. Everything really solidly built. I never used it and I don't know if anyone did. so dangerous.
Whilst I try and avoid number 2's at the office the plumbing in our office toilets is terrible. More than 3 sheets of paper and it won't flush and it takes about 10 minutes to fill (what I assume is a shared cistern between cubicles) so if you do need a second flush attempt you're stuck waiting, even worse if someone uses a different cubicle and tries to flush whilst you're waiting...aaaargh.
How would you know in the dark?
Friction?
Scratch n Sniff?

How do you know in the light? Dunno about you but I can't see my own arse anyway.
At least... not the relevant area.

Surely if you're deprived of vision the other senses become more acute - in that setting heightened auditory and olfactory senses don't sound like much of a blessing.
Does the dispenser have an adjustable brake to increase friction? Some do, to allow more or less roll to be pulled depending on the setting.

you either have to sit in the dark or open the cubicle door and walk around to activate the PIR sensor.
Take the first option and then wait for someone else to come in and set off the sensor. Followed by "oh thanks, I've been in here for an hour waiting for someone." No awkwardness at all.

A bit like the reach adjuster on a Hope brake?

But your phone is in your hands, with a light built into it, no?
Amateurs the lot of you
This is a proper convenience on an Austrian campsite with great WiFi

Hey! As a manager I get paid to give a shit so I will.
I our place it's the height of the dispensers that's the main bugbear they are about 2ft off the ground and the roll ejects from underneath. Absolutely fine if you're 3 ft tall but if you're a grownup and wipe standing, it's a major pain to extract paper whilst bent double, trying to avoid lacerating one's wrists on the sheet cutter.

I’m sorry, what?
Wot Hannah said, and she knows her shit.
stwhannah
I’m sorry, what?
Don't make out that I'm the weird one.
When wiping standing, how far apart do your feet need to be?
edit:asking for a friend 😉
I’m struggling with the concept of two minutes to take a shit. That’s barely enough time to get comfortable
