  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,571 ✭✭✭✭Frisbee


    As long as it takes.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,564 ✭✭✭✭whiskeyman


    Depends.... what if your job is a toilet cleaner?


    /head explodes


    Does a toilet cleaner take an office desk break?

    Toosies. But yes, I do have a habit of bringing a book in with me at home, much to the consternation (constipation) of my flatmate.

    I see nothing wrong in this practice. It helps bring a whole feeling of serenity to the ocasion that would otherwise be missing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,717 ✭✭✭Nehaxak


    A good 30 minutes for a number 2.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,463 ✭✭✭KTRIC


    As long as I please. I'm not hurrying for anyone.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,808 ✭✭✭✭chin_grin


    Drop + read + wipe.

    Around 20 minutes max. If it was a "neverending wiper" then it would be longer.

    And if the book turns out to be crap, you're in the perfect place to deal with it, and you'll never be caught out without bog-roll.

    5-10 minutes should be acceptable at work, depending on how many pints you had last night, and pints of what. Guinness has been known to take a good 15 minutes, 4 or 5 times in the day.

    Depends on 3 things ;
    1 - Are you having a piss?
    2 - Are you having a ****?
    3 - Are you having a ****?

    Sometimes all three. Depends on the book.

    Ah but I have mine more or less on a natural timer. 12.45 to 1pm every day I'm off to the loo for a crap. Given it's lunchtime anyway, nobody cares and suits me fine. I also wash my arse afterwards though so that 30 minutes is warranted.

    Messes things up though if I'm travelling/working abroad, having to get up at like 3am for a crap is fairly annoying.

    You're looking at 20 minutes and bring your iPod then kind sir.

    Because you had a bidet
    You're taking one down
    You sing a sad song just to turn it around
    You say you don't know
    You tell me don't lie
    You work at a smile and you go for a ride
    You had a bidet
    The camera don't lie
    You're coming back down and you really don't mind
    You had a bidet
    You had a bidet

    Ode to the office Shíte.. Flutterinbantam.


    I slipped from my desk to take a big shít
    I gasped in amazement as the pewter she hit
    she slid 'neath the water and sank out of sight
    Ignominious end for a prize winning shíte

    *****************************

    So folks ,if you feel a hot stool at your hole
    Proceed with all haste and back up to the bowl
    Unload at your ease,and don't rush your shíte
    And make sure that your ringpiece isn't clenched up and tight
    *******************************************

    Bring your paper, your book, and back out your load
    blow out freely and strong and blast the commode
    Clean your badge nice and slowly,and examine your knob
    Then slowly and calmly walk back to your job.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,225 ✭✭✭Keith186


    10 minutes is loads to get it out unless you got problems.

    If there's only one jacks I can see why your flatmate is annoyed! Nothin worse than holding it in, then when you get to go you nearly get sick cos of the stink!

    There is no bidet though, have to wet toilet roll, wipe, repeat (I can take pictures if you like???)

    I have this thing I do if I'm constipated though, I just think about robbing an orchard and off we go, plops out no problem. Dunno what it was but whenever I was just about to hop over the wall or whatever as a kid to rob an orchard, I'd have to have a shyte. Doc leaves where your best friend back then...ahhh....memories....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,251 ✭✭✭Andrewf20


    If I have to bring Mr Brown and his friends down to the coast, then 5-6 mins. Had a crummy student type job years ago that I hated. Think I was in the cubicle for 20mins as well on 1 occasion. Sore feet to blame.

    Did ya hear the one about the constipated mathamatican?

    We worked it out with a pencil.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,793 ✭✭✭✭Hagar


    Personally I hate it when you're in there so long your legs go dead that you get pins and needles and have to try and walk it off in the cubicle.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,258 ✭✭✭✭Rabies


    then need to go back and wipe.

    Those working in Dell, Intel, HP, GE, Panemetrics, Microsoft, De Beers, Commissioners of Irish Lights, the Airports, or any other company that requires you to carry an electronic clock card around your neck on the job can all be tracked into the crapper. :eek:

    So if you are going for your daily read of the Sun on the can, leave your ID e_tag in your locker :D

    The ESB unions rejected the idea of their employeese carrying E_cards in the job, probably for the above reason. They must now have some of the most intellectual workers in the country. :D

    E_tag ID cards are not magnetic strip based.

    clearly I'm outta the loop. How the hell can they track your position?

    Most high security firms have touch pad scanners leading into restricted areas of their buildings such as store rooms, offices and areas where valuable information or items are kept. Your card is your key so they know exactly who went in and went out.

    They can also install “portal scanners” concealed throughout the building including the jacks. I would be very surprised if Dublin Airport didn’t have them.

    This technology makes it easy for management to pinpoint the exact location of employeese in the case of an emergency such as a bomb threat or fire.

    I have recently been spending a considerable portion of my working day in the bog. There is a disabled toilet just across the way from me. It is clean and spacious and never used. I am about to leave my job so I don't give a f*ck about how long I'm there. Put it this way, mid morning there will be a sh*te + **** hybrid visit followed by a separate sh*t and separate **** visit in the afternoon. Sh*t + **** is going to be about 30 mins, and the individual visits, 15 mins each, so there is an hour gone already. If hungover, I like to go in, sit on the throne and have a good beery fart and a blast and then have a wee snooze whilst my arse whistles like a kettle.
