Leave the mothers out of it
20 odd years ago a neighbour was in newsoms browsing when her young lad of 10 took a dump in one of the toilets on display in the middle of the shop . He wasnât the brightest of kids and was roaring at his mother that there was no toilet paper and the toilet wouldnât flush .
On another occasion during a nice hot summers day the same young lad was in his back garden swinging away on a swing balls naked and having a piss .

Security guard sacked for letting site visitor use toilet
STEPHEN BOURKEA security guard who feared a site visitor would soil himself before reaching a bathroom if he had to wait to sign in was unfairly sacked for letting him past, the Workplace Relations Commission has found.
In a decision published yesterday, the commission ordered Securitas Security Services (Ireland) to pay CiarĂĄn Kelly more than âŹ21,000.
Mr Kelly said he was on duty at a client site guardhouse on the morning of December 9th, 2020 when the man came to him showing an email saying he was visiting and asking if he could use the toilet.
âThe visitor was clearly in distress and I told him to go to reception in the main building and use the toilet and return to me to get his pass,â he said, adding that he called his supervisor to tell him the man was âcoming downâ.
He said the supervisor said not to let him down but that he replied that he had to as he feared the visitor was âgoing to soil himselfâ.
Mr Kelly told the tribunal he believed his employer âwould have gone off the headâ if the visitor had not made it to the bathroom in time, but as it turned out he got a phone call later from the Securitas area manager suspending him.
He said there were âclear misrepresentations of what happened and what was saidâ during the resulting disciplinary process and his view was that management âhad already decided they were going to terminate his employmentâ.
Representatives of employersâ body Ibec, Conor OâGorman and Declan Thomas, who presented the case for the respondent, said it was the firmâs position that Mr Kelly was âdismissed for allowing an unauthorised person on siteâ at a time when Covid-19 cases were ârapidly increasingâ.
At the disciplinary proceedings, Securitas account manager Brian Doyle said the complainant âshould have followed the procedures strictlyâ and that âthe job is to only allow restricted authorised access to site,â he said.
Breach of trust
He said his decision was to terminate Mr Kellyâs employment on the grounds of âbreach of trust and breach of proceduresâ and that he âdidnât consider anything other than dismissalâ.
GrĂĄinne Quinn for Mr Kelly, said his employer had âalways emphasised the importance of treating everyone with who he came into contact with dignityâ.
In her decision on the case, commission adjudicator Caroline Reidy said dismissal was generally a âlast resortâ and that it had to be justified by âsubstantial groundsâ.
âIn this case I do not see that this bar has been met,â she wrote, adding that she did not regard the decision to dismiss Mr Kelly as proportionate.
She upheld Mr Kellyâs complaint under the Unfair Dismissals Act 1977 and ordered Securitas Security Services (Ireland) to pay him âŹ21,216.
Id imagine both parties are happy enough with that outcome.
Is there some legal right about people being permitted to use companyâs toilets when they have to drop trow?
I had a massive poo today. No matter how many times I flushed there was no budging it so I eventually just left it be. Rascal was first to encounter it just before dinner and comes running down the hall shouting so I asked him what was up. Mrs H was out in the utility so I blamed her. She wasnât long setting him straight and told me in no uncertain terms to sort it out.
I sheepishly head down to âsortââ it. Rascal came down with me but understandably stayed outside to avoid further trauma. After each flush 'Any luck Dad? â followed by a rueful shake of the head from me. It reminded me of that scene in Independence Day where they try and nuke the aliens. Expectation and joy followed by disappointment. Itâs a newish loo with a flush strong enough to clear skid marks but this baby whale was in no mood to surrender easily and fought a valiant battle before heading off to twosie heaven.

What was the long term plan here? Arson or emigration?

It was going to disintegrate eventually but Mrs H wouldnât be as patient about these things as me. I have since received a helpful tip via pm on how to address the issue next time it happens. Fairy liquid to add a bit of extra slippage.

That happened me one time in college, I poked it down with a bit of a stick which I then threw out the window.
