By the way, just where in the heck is the WFT department? I need to know so I can add it to my Favorites list. Do they have a Rewards program and might I qualify for a competitive rate? One final note - I’ve inadvertently been a member in good standing since, oh, about the 70’s and I want that reflected on my membership card… front and center baby, front and center. ---

The WFT department is across the hall from the WTF department. Just so’s you know… 😃 ---

Maybe he was just very tired. I remember once when I was working night shift going to work and being absolutely wrecked. I went to the toilet and started to take a leak. It was only half way through that I realised that I was pissing in the sink :eek: thanks be to Jaysus nobody was in there with me or walked in as I would have had to resign due to the amount of slagging I would have got. People become very absent minded when they’re tired. ---

You know, he was probably washing _it_ in the sink until you came in, and when he heard someone at the door tried to discreetly act as if he was washing his hands. Ok, now for the serious bit, I have forgotten to zip my pants before (but it should be noted that I don’t go commando). The thing is, with dress pants (and even many khaki Dockers-type pants) there are a lot of things to do. Many have two separate buttons to button, or a button and a clasp, and _then_ you also have to buckle your belt, I’ll tell you that once or twice I fastened both buttons, tucked my shirt in, buckled up the belt and forgot about the zipper. It was surprisingly easy to do. However, as I said before I _semper ubi sub ubi_ ;), and think I would’ve noticed if I were actually exposed or “hanging out.” ---

Hmm… no comment on the OP, as I probably just would have laughed to myself at let the poor guy walk out in public like that. Maybe I’m just mean, but I definitely wouldn’t have said a word. My WTF moment is sitting right in front of my apartment building everyday. The enterance to my apartment building is depressed, so there is a set of stairs going from the parking lot down to the “ground level” of the building. It’s only 4 or 5 stairs, not much. But leading up to the stairs on the parking lot side is a handicap ramp. I always thought this was weird. But recently, they’ve marked the parking spot next to the ramp as a handicap only parking spot. Now, there is also a parking spot where the ramp itself is, and someone always parks there - there is nothing saying they can’t. Now, yesterday the car that was parked there had a notice on it - “Move your car or it will be towed - blocking handicap ramp.” So this means someone takes that ramp seriously. Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but having a handicap ramp that does _nothing_ but lead to a set of stairs deserves a big fat WTF, does it not? ---

Just to add to the sink discussion… when my brother was 3 we went to a motorcycle show. Now my mother always took him into the bathrooms with her when we were out and at home we just have the standard toilet/sink/tub combination so when my father took him into the mens room for the first time ever there was much confusion for the poor kid about where to pee. He came running out of the mens room crying and screaming that he wouldn’t pee in the sink! 🙂 ---

I would have been sacked if a complaint was made but that probably wouldn’t have happened. Most likely I would have just had the piss ripped out of me(severe slagging) for a few years. ---
