Interesting conundrum. I visit folks homes as part of my job and on 2 or 3 occasions needed to use their loo for a number two

General opinion is you shouldn't really, but the alternative is you shit yourself.

Haha I know, when you gotta go you gotta go.

One of our moving men left an unflushable turd after finishing unloading at the new place, he was in there so long it ticked over into the next hour so the moving company charged us for an extra hour. He also left it in the toilet in the attic conversion which is the spare room. So we didn't even find it for a few days.

 

We did complain and didn't have to pay the extra hour.

This is a moving men thing. Some friends of ours were moving out their first home together and a big Polish mover did the worst poo you've ever smelt right at the end when it was all packed up.

 

They no longer associate the flat as their first home and where they had their baby daughter. They just remember the smell.

Posts on Instagram or Twitter (even some news websites these days) that say BREAKING and then proceed to give absolutely no news.

 

For example:

 

BREAKING! Juventus are thinking about their manager options and Conte could be on the list.

BREAKING! My predictions for this weekend's dog show.

 

That's not fvcking news you twat. Just more clickbait.

I was genuinely working somewhere yesterday that had one of these signs…

Unless it has a fine wire mesh in the pan, if I need to poo, I'm pooing.

Mobile game ads. 

 

I don't play mobile games, they're absolutely shit. Yet, I can't do anything online without being bombarded with totally misrepresentative ads that clearly don't look anything like the game.

 

However I am at this point invested in the soap opera that is Mafia City. That Lv.1 Crook is such a great character.

Up there with "Holibobs"

Also people who keep FB updated with their recent medical issues. Nobody really gives a shit apart from the very closest friends and family, who are more than likely already aware.

Almost exclusively women, too. I do have one bloke on my FB who says 'nom nom' every time he posts anything about food though, that really gets on my nerves.

That'd get to me too. Fortunately, I rarely come across it these days.

Probably doesn't have a pan, just a urinal or trough. No paper either, I'd imagine.

There's a number of posts on FT that are exactly this.

[Fox in the North]

Fess up, what’s happened to get the politics thread wiped?

 

Always look forward to reading it and it’s not there! 

[oakman]

People working in advertising - they make an ‘everyman’ advert for the new Google Pixel phone featuring some bloke called Lucian. Can’t wait for their next advert when Crispin goes to Srewfix to buy roofing felt and rawl plugs.

[tom27111]

People.

 

I'll elaborate tomorrow, once the police have cleared stuff up.

 

Nothing to do with me, but if some fvcker puts my 14 year old step-daughter in danger, I will kill them.

 

Yeah, even if it is her "dad".

 

Fuming.

[tom27111]

I actually shouldn't have posted my reaction to what's gone on tonight so soon.

 

But it was shite.

****ing hate fireworks. They should be banned from the general public.

 

I don’t mind people going to proper displays, but simpletons setting off shit Catherine wheels is absolutely pointless and scares a lot of animals to death.
