Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

Talking of toiletsIf you have a dump at work every day (which takes say 5 minutes, making sure you do it outwith lunchtime or break time), then that adds up to 18-20 hours of not working over the course of a year.
So not only are you being paid to shit, you also save money by not having to buy so many toilet rolls for use at home.
Take that, evil corporate entities!

...What with only having dialup at home, I tend only to check my emails from work. And I work from home less in the winter to avoid paying for heating and electricity. Ha! The fools!

Hear hear!I already subscribe to this notion. I'm also always very careful not to go to the loo during lunch (unless I *have* to), or letting my loo breaks coincide with coffee breaks.

It gets worse...The staff room is usually kept well supplied with teabags as well... at an average of 2 or 3 cups a day, I must have scammed over a pound from them over the past 18 months. Muahahahaha!

5 minutes is nothing!In order to drop my morning foal I allocate 20 minutes from 9.20-9.40.
This allows for a full company funded evacuation which also permits me to save money on toilet paper.

Five minutes? Pffft. Amateur.Go take a dump in one toilet, then walk across the plant to a different one and have a wank.
If you're gonna do it, don't mess around with half-measures.

...I too subscribe to this - I usually link it to a trip downstairs to the canteen for a decent cup of tea, thereby wasting about 20 minutes of the day. :)

Bloody hellDidn't realise the work-dump was so popular. I first started this when working at Johnson Matthey for a while as a student. They had very well appointed toilets with Dixcel kitten-soft toilet roll and copies of in-house publications to read whilst on the throne.
It's quite educational to peruse Platinum Metals Review whilst evacuating the bowels.
I have experimented with the Times crossword, but if I get stuck on a clue I'm there for ages, and it plays havoc with teh Chalfonts.

Ha!I go to the toilet just for something to do. I don't even use the facilities. I just sit and stare at the walls to pass some time.

FrankspencerI also go to the toilet just to sit there and waste five minutes - I make sure I take my trousers down even if I don't need a shit/piss, just for appearences like, incase anyone checks under the door and wonders why some blokes just sat there. I'm a bit paranoid see.

Pfffft . . .Kill 2 birds with one stone . . .
Go and take a dump and kill some time by reading a paper or such like, take bout 20-30 minutes or so, then tell any work colleagues near by when you return have a very very dodgy stomach.
Fancy a nap later in the day? go to the toilet, even if you don't feel you need to go and bobs yer uncle, free half hour to 40 minutes nap time in the bogs, anyone asks where you are, your work colleagues will say that you have a dodgy tummy and have gone to the loo.
Paid for shitting AND napping on the job, great stuff!

Pity meI work in a call centre. I do in fact go to the toilet off break time, but because each phone monkey has its own login, it shows on our stats. To add insult to injury, we have to scan our passes to get *into* the toilet.
