Toilet etiquette!

    I was in the toilet the other day. 2 cubicles. Upon entering, noted the first had no loo roll, so hopped into second.
    Did not want to be caught out, so i ALWAYS check!
    By the way, in case it was not immediate obvious by the fact that there was 2 cubicles, this is an office environment, with locked paper dispensers, So i couldn't fill it myself.

    Anyway halfway through the deed, i hear footsteps, and the other cubicle door closes. The one with no paper.
    Oh no! Poor chap! What do i do? Call out from my throne that there is no paper? What if he was just peeing? Would he feel awkward? Would this awkwardness affect his toilet time?
    Or should i send a few sheets under the cubicle door? But what if my kind offer was waved away? Or worse , if he grabbed my hand in some form of poo induced terror, much like a woman giving birth?!


    At the end, i felt i only had one option! I finished up, washed hands LOUDLY, closed outer door LOUDLY, leaving him to do the pants around ankles waddle in private.

    Was I right? Was i wrong? What would you have done? Was it you!

    Dammit i forgot the " Do nothing, get the hell outta there" option of poll!

    What would you do, when he do the doodoo that he shouldn't dare do? 24 votes

    Call out in a jovial tone, " What ho! Do you need some bog roll?"

    Not wanting to identify yourself, you should have taken a sheet of roll, took out your pen and sent him a note, lest he knew your voice.

    You were right not to say anything. The same thing happened to me once. Your man became quite aggressive when I offered to help him wipe his arse.

    Fold over the tissue you used & offer him the clean side.
    Reduce.
    Reuse.
    Recycle.

    I rarely carry a pen or pencil into the toilet. I am neither an accountant nor constipated, so would have no need to work it out with said pen(cil).

    pass some loo paper with some peanut butter smeared on it under his door, then ask "sorry could you pass that back here?"

    I thought all you office peeps carried writing utensils around with you at all times.
    Another of my brash generalisations.
    Apologies.

    I was fresh out of peanut butter. In fact, I had no food products whatsoever on me. I was certainly unprepared for any form of famine related crisis starting while i was in the toilet.

    I would have calmly finished. Wiped. Washed hands. Then shoved a wad full of wet toilet paper in with the dry ones, while laughing.
