I've been on a bit of a toilet adventure at work recently. We have loads of them and I've been testing different ones out. The ones in a high foot flow area are no goes, there's a small room which is like a sweatbox, one has motion sensor lights which go off after two minutes which isn't ideal, one has no wifi, one has dodgy locks which my colleague found out when he opened the door to find a small Chinese woman having a poo and another had a rolled up porno mag hidden behind a removeable panel.
And then I found it. The Holy Grail. I've found one at work that no one uses.
- Quiet foot flow area of work.
- Nice, big room.
- Good cistern refill time.
- Nice big mirror so I can check my sweaty self after the business is done.
- Cleaned everyday.
- Good wifi coverage to browse TWTD.
I dread the day I go to use it and someone is in there...
So TWTD, tell me about your Thrones... |  | | |  |

Bit of a horror story this, but during lockdown I went for a work place poo and the moment I sad down I had a car looking right at me! You know, I wasn't sure if I was going crazy from the lack of social needs being met, but the last thing you expect is that. |  |

You remind me that a nice clean crapper can swing the choice of nightly destination pub on a Broads boating holiday. Vital in fact - no civilised person wants to poo on a boat with the sound of thunder echoing though the cabin. Its been years since I went on one, but can still remember all the best pubs for sh1tting. |  |

When I worked in Parliament St/Treasury, there were plenty of toilets on all floors and they were always cleaned regularly. The doors to the thunderbox though were those American style ones with gaps underneath and above. Small too. No comfort to be had there. So I used to beetle into the Disabled ones. Plenty of room to spread out, good height, loads of room for your morning Metro and a good signal for TWTD, mirror, sink. Perfect. Above all, a proper door with privacy. Traps of choice.
By contrast, the facilities on Greek Islands in the 80s/90s were rudimentary and basically hell in a cubicle with a plastic lattice bin for the used bog paper - usually filled to the brim and steaming.. But even they paled into insignificance with the facilities on a campsite in Italy near Venice. Footplates, a big hole and a shower. All in one semi open cubicle. The air was obliterated by the throat gripping stench.
Oh the laughter when one of our lot dropped his watch down the hole. Presumably it’ll appear on Antiques Spaceship Show in 2223. |  | | |

One of my worst experiences was in the Anne Boleyn pub on the junction of Barking Road and Green Street. Went to the toilet in there before a game at Upton Park, there must've been 2-3 inches of stale urine on the floor. So much so that they had a number of upturned plastic crates dotted about to use as stepping stones over from the door to the urinals. |  | | |

The ones in Yugoslavia, before the sh!tshow it is now, were a sight to behold. Two handles, two foot shaped indentations on the floor and just a hole to aim for. Oh, and an old peasant lady dishing out two sheets of paper at the door.  | | | |

I'm pretty mobile at work and thus, know where every thunder box in the building is. My personal choice is the one near the stroke ward. It's staff only for starters, which means lower footfall and less chance of it being occupied,
Secondly, it's in an area of low footfall so it tends to be only me, the stroke unit staff and the porters who use it, so again, reduced footfall.
Thirdly it's relatively new compared to other bogs so generally less grim in the first place and it's well lit, reasonably spacious and singe person only, so no-one to interrupt your 'thinking time.
Oh, and the wi-fi connects there, as well.

I still have nightmares about the bogs at the Locks Inn, Geldeston circa 1996.
Genuinely once went in the bushes as it was a less vile option. | |

After a work colleague had an unfortunate incident whilst on holiday we have taken to describe any kind of action which only serves to exacerbate problems as being like 'putting paper down a Greek toilet'. | |

I would be tempted to create a fake sign to ward off any curious souls. Preserve the sanctity of your throne room at any cost. | |

Sore point at work tbh. There's only the one on my floor and about 5/6 other blokes who use it. One or more of them is an absolute scumbag who needs to sort out their diet.
There's also a urinal which again, one or more of them seem to get more on the floor than in the toilet.
It actually enrages me. Where do you work, your one sounds a treat? [Post edited 28 Jul 2023 11:00]

Why do blokes take pints into a sh1thouse? There they stand, hosing down the tin tray, their shoes, trousers and anyone in splashback range while quaffing a Fosters. Or rest it on the shelf above it while the steam rises and the leaden cloud circulates. Washing of hands? Nah.
Why? Just why??? Your pint is safe if you leave it with your mates or even the bar dude. Can they not wait just a few minutes? Oh well. | | | |
