    Work WC etiquette

    Just walked into the loos and a colleague of mine, bob, was clearing his nose into the sink by shutting his mouth, covering the other nostril and exhaling sharply. He then proceeded to hawk up a grolly.

    Is this acceptable behaviour?

    That's nothing I've seen Bobs in just their boxers washing their feet in the sinks
    Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

    No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

      That's terrible, he should do it at his desk like everyone else!

        Absolutely not. Standard bob practice? Absolutely. You can't spend more than 10 mins on the throne without someone coming in and doing this in our office. I have to walk the entire length of the site to find a bob free loo I can have a kip in nowadays. Disgraceful.

          You should try a German loo. The Bavarians seem to take pride in noise and grunts like it were some record of achievement.

            Do the German toilets still have those funny little shelf's so one can inspect one's stool? Other than the German people themselves and their reliable transport system that's my favourite thing about Germany.

              That's a bidet not a shelf.

                  The Dutch have those, but it's a bit worrying if that's your 'favourite thing about Germany'.

                  Most red blooded chaps would put Claudia Schiffer higher up the list of 'favourite things about Germany'.

                    It was my third favourite thing.

                    Oh come on. A toilet where you can inspect your poo? To an Englishman that's hilarious.
