toilet risk

Today something really interesting happened.

In one corner of the office where nobody sits, we have an “executive toilet”, better known as the handicap toilet. It is seldom utilized as it is quite out of the way. Another reason for the lack of use is that the door is built to look like the wall around it such that unless you are looking out for it, it is hardly likely that you would know that the toilet is there.

Somebody did use it today and for some reason, was locked in. The lock refused to give way and the chap was trapped for hours till somebody walked past accidentally and heard him knocking.

Mechanics came and sawed open the lock to let him out.

Shudder… he could have been trapped there for days while everybody look everywhere else for him.

Please always bring your phone with you wherever you go, even to the toilet, just in case.
