Dropping the kids off at the pool during work time is always a risky business.

You're probably best wearing a gas mask if you can't wait.

Go for the disabled one. Take moist towelettes for the final polishย and aย  quality newspaper. Gently place a single sheet of toilet tissue atop the calm waters to prevent Neptune's kiss. Enjoy your China Cruise

That's what thegreatape would do.

I'm still waiting, but the longer i leave it, the more chance that another one of the animals i work with could sneak in there

I have an arrangement with our cleaner. She tips me the wink when's she's cleaned the bogs so I get first dibs on freshly bleached porcelain.

We had a broken arrow* last year and everybody was blaming big Ben.

I thought this unfair so pointed out that big Ben would self centre in the trap and theoretically always hit the water.

Do you not have any "danger of death" signs where you work?

Get in quick and enjoy a nicely warmed seat.

My brothers busy architect firm in Newcastle had 'the phantom crapper' for about 6 months - regular pebble dashing or alternatively stuck otter, a smell that could peel paint and a seat that had clearly absorbed heat slowly and gently, holding onto the warmth through thermal mass...

The office spent months working out who the culprit was - always early on in the morning, particularly Monday's were a bad day...

Finally tracked it back to one of the Partners who had a drink, diet and weight problem...The guy still is referred to as "PC".

We often have quite a few Indians working out of our office (they train up here then return to India to do offshore dev work). Some of them squat standing on the toilet seat (I think a combination of being used to squat toilets + considering it unhygenic to sit where someone else has, which I can see the logic in). The problem is their aim isn't always great so you get crap left on toilet seats. We even had someone send out a "too much info" photo the other day of a mis-aimed deposit. I'm glad we have multiple toilets available and that I'm not the cleaner...
