Broken cubicle locks

ceegee

how is it that theres always loads of broken locks on the doors in pub bathrooms? Never, no matter how drunk i've been has one come away in my hand, nor have i seen it happen to a stranger. But it still happens about a third of stalls i see when i'm out. Any possible explanations? Have you ever broken one? (apologies if this is breaking any rules, i realise toilet based threads are strictly rationed but this is a question regarding the physical structure rather than biological function)

Pretty much every pub i've been in, all around the country, wouldn't tend to frequent anywhere too rough

Public bathrooms and shoddy cheap 2euro locking mechanisms attached to plywood doors? Used by drunk males with little to no motor control?

What are you not getting here?

Having managed to pull a towel rail out of a wall while completely ossified, where it was very well screwed into the wall, I can see how this kind of damage accumulates in a pub toilets over the course of years.

The real problem is that aside from a cursory wipe of the sinks and the toilets, many pubs simply couldn't be arsed (no pun intended) looking after their toilets. It's a reflection of publicans' attitude to the public as a whole. Again, no pun intended.

Agree with you holeheartedly Seamus.:D

A tip for that situation, when on the pan extend the left leg horizontally in front of you,so as any attempted ingress will be stifled before the intending shítter can view you straining on the pot in close combat action with last nights kebab.

If you can hold a fairly noisy spluttery fart for those occasions it tends to discourage entry.

A lot of people fall asleep in toilets and then the door has to be kicked open. I use to work in a pub - still they could fix them!

A lot of pubs intentionally leave them broken to stop people doing coke in them too. Not sure of the Logic. My mate had a dose of the trots one night and he was so long in the cubicle they thought he was doing something untoward so they kicked the door in....much to their chagrine he was in fact having a ****e haemorrhage.

Pighead

Pighead fell asleep once in a pub in Phibsboro many moons ago. Was absolutely out for the count. The bouncer had to kick the door down and was faced with a handsome drunken sleepy headed man with his trousers down by his ankles.

Eventually woke up after a cup of water had been thrown over the face area of my body. Bouncer said "You're barred son, get out of here" Pighead was a bit shocked but quickly came to his senses and then pulled out the trump card he'd been saving for a situation like this "It's ok bouncer, my sister works here. No need to bar me. She can confirm that this is totally out of character and that it will never happen again"

The bouncers eyes narrowed with suspicion. Pighead smiled. We walked out to the bar area and the bouncer asked my sister if she knew me. She had a quick look and then said a sentence that cut through Pigheads heart like a hot piss through snow. "Never saw him before in my life. Get the drunken fcuker out of here so we can all go home" She's dead to Pighead now.

How long do they think it takes to shove some powder up you nose-hole?
