ToiletsToilets are weird half public/half private spaces. All sorts of stuff goes on in them. They are devious entrances and exits from venues, places to have sex, to snort drugs or even, get this, to defecate. Tell us your favourite toilet stories.

Ah well, must also post this one.Working in the offices of A Government Department in N-E England. 21 August, a week or two back. All is well.
Except that the building has a fairly standard foul/water core, which has for reasons better known to the Central Bureaucracy, been diverted between the ground and first floors, to egress some distance along the building.
Let me tell you all, working on the not-ground floor has its advantages.
It may be that we will never find the full story of what caused the - unpleasantness. Rumours circulate involving people using paper towels and the pull-out hand wipers from the disabled bogs; and a tale that a particular employee's pass was found amongst the - debris has circulated. I offer no explanation, but will simply state what happened.
There was an explosion of shit, piss, and foul water that rendered the ground floor inoperable for a week and a half. As the pipes traverse the building between the ground and first floors, a number of employees were sprayed with a substance resembling lumpy bisto.
The floor required gutting. Maybe 100-150 PCs have been offloaded to the disposal contractor; there was decorators in to repair the damage (read: slop out the effluent) and a post went onto our intranet site detailing the specific form that employees needed to claim compensation for soiled clothing.
The worst bit about it is I didn't have a camera, as a few pics of the virulent devastation would have been priceless.
