Bobs and hocking flem

[darmstadt]

I seem to be missing out here as we don't have Bobs, in fact they tried them out and they were so crap and expensive that it is now a no go zone.

To be fair to Bob, if no-one tells him that in England we don't flob in sinks, he ain't gonna know.

Re: the smell thing. Curry (like garlic) can permeate everything. But if it's a general BO smell, it's not confined to bob - I've worked with some very stinky Brits, although depending where he's living, it may make hygiene more challenging.

I'd prod the permies to raise both issues with the managers. These things can be raised tactfully (or just tell bob manager to deal with it)

I wonder how someone raises a blob of phlegm tactfully.

'I say, would you mind awfully if I just flob a blob of phlegm in the bin?'

I'd be wary of all this, TB is rife on the sub continent and is rising over here!

I have had the fortune (misfortune??) of having to tell more than 1 person about personal hygenie issues.

Not a nice conversation but it is better to have it and remove the problem than ignore it

These people should learn some local etiquette on arrival to the UK.
A small pamphlet would suffice.

Bobs and hocking flem

Hocking phlegm is nothing - it's the fact that some of them seem to have had a sh1t spraying device inserted into their arses that gets me - looks like someone has fired off a shotgun full of slurry. Dirty fkkers make no effort to clean up. Used to always be at least one of the stalls unusable for the day.

At current client co they have a floor of bobs, and the toilets are a stricktly no go area for that reason. It got to the stage where the toilet were being consistently broken and cracked. Christ knows what they were doing in there. Probably something unholy about placing ones cheeks on the seat, so they adopt the squatting position and fire a tulip storm everywhere. It's for sitting on not standing on!

[original PM]

Yes.

We get that here too.

Some of the esteemed customers do appear to have read the notices that have been installed in the traps because the problem seems to have decreased since the year before last.

Or that particular esteemed customer has buggered off back to bongobongoland.

probably not PC but hey!

but yes I agree with the sentiment we have the same problem here small number of bobs large number of sh!t filled toilets

I visited a client site and in the traps was a diagram on the back of the door showing how to sit on the toilet properly with a diagram of someone squatting with his feet on the rim with a line through it (a bit like the Ghostbusters sign).

Needless to say, there were a few Bobs in the office.
