If he’s taking the paper as well he’s just maximizing his use of downtime.Very sensible.
This guy’s a multitasker.

“A Curious Dream” part three of five…

James had such a curious dream…based on so many true stories inside IT departments around the world…

I agree with Katy. It’s just too odd to think you’re putting something in while you’re pushing something out.

My roommate takes the phone in the toilets. Not only can’t I figure out how people can really accept to be on the receiving end from someone phoning from the toilets, but I am also slightly worried when she does it with the wireless set for the land line.

I mean, I’m using this set at times…

Yeah, rotten. Germs and hot things go nasty.

I have been known to take a gin and bitter lemon into the toilets of venues. Actually, sometimes I just take in the bitter lemon, purchased at the bar, and then pour in the gin, carefully contained in a hip flask.

But I have never had a wank at work. That I think makes me a tiny minority

Kitchens and dining rooms (and occasionally living rooms and bed rooms) are for food. Toilets are for the result of food. That is all.

A guy at my last office was given a talking to by the manager for taking the paper from reception with him while he went for his morning dump…

Maybe the coffee isn’t his and its yours and he needs to wash his balls?!

Perhaps he wants some froth on his coffee. Ewwwww! Sam, that's is just so wrong. Anyways why not take it in to the cubicle? Seems that some folk can't drink it safely in the community . . . . . . but it looks like freakishness to me.

coffee in the toilet. I have no opinion. Thankfully I don’t have to watch him either.

its a free country, but “cheeky pulling” at work? um… NO. I can’t think of a more un-romantic spot for it.

So many factors come into play here that without more input it is impossible to come up with a definitive answer.

Is the cup FULL of HOT, FRESH coffee when he takes it in with him? Weird.

Is the cup FULL with nasty old cold coffee? Not weird – he’s just dumping it.

Is the cup partly-full of Hot, Fresh coffee? Weird.

Is the cup partly-full of nasty cold coffee? See FULL of NASTY COLD above.

Is the cup almost empty of coffee? Perhaps he figures to get in that last gulp, then rinse/wash/wipe it with the paper towels from the sink? Not weird.

See?
Now, if he is taking a full cup of fresh, hot coffee and heading in for a nice sit-down and read… Perhaps you should consider counselling for him.

I have NEVER taken a cup of coffee to the loo with me. The loo is no place for hot beverages.

That is my final word on this issue.

Freaky? Yes. Yuck, whether food/drink or Paul Reubens (Pee Wee Herman) action in the toilet. And it probably would not be advisable to shake hands with him either.

Can you stop talking about coffee. Ive just given up caffiene because inadvertently me and the spouse had managed to get addicted to the extent where we were getting withdrawl symptoms at the weekend without even realising why. I stopped smoking after 15 years and this is worse.
Probably because its hidden in all sorts of stuff here in north america – crackers and grapefruit juice for fecks sake.
The burns on my John Thomas are healing up nicely though.

Surely if the coffee was needed to make him poo whilst he’s there then he almost didn’t need to go in the first place then did he?

I was on the ‘unhygienic’ thread too – yuk!

Perhaps he has a secret stash of dry cake hidden there somewhere and he can’t get it down without a cuppa?

As mentioned in yesterdays comments, coffee makes you poo.

Also, I am slightly concerned about the continuing coffee-related subjects.

Are you livid or addicted?
Does the coffee stench in your car cause you to notice everything coffee-related?
Or, are have you just purchased shares in Typhoo and are trying to make coffee look bad?

When you find out, let me know — I frequently have men from our building returning my colleague’s coffee mug from the men’s room where he keeps leaving it. . . .

Shop-bought cardboard cup or mug from the office cupboard? If it’s a mug, I hope he washes it thoroughly whether it’s been used for some kind of sexual perversion or just covered in bacteria! It’s yuck and he’s a freak either way.

Definitely a freak. Unhygenic or what?
