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

    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.

    A good 30 minutes for a number 2.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,346 ✭✭✭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.

    I find listening to Ring Of Fire on repeat helps the sh!te gallop out of me.

    Can lead to the jack-knife effect - all 3 sensations at once resulting in one disconntecting with the potty at an abrupt angle...

    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.

    How the hell does it take people 20 minutes for a #2?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,271 ✭✭✭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!
