A Tip For You...

edited April 2010 in Commuting chat
If on occasions you have to do a Superman and change out of your commuting clothes in a toilet cubicle at work...put the lid down first. If you're in a rush and dump things on the cistern at the back there is a chance that your glove could fall into the bowl...not that I'm talking from experience...it happened to a friend etc. :oops:

    Even worse if it's your tootpaste tube that goes in, as happened to me recently....

    Tip no.2:

    Never get changed in a cubicle when the next is occupied.

    Getting changed while someone is producing grunts and splashing noises, is just not right....

    To be avoided like the plague the morning after a works curry night out. The sound of 'pebbledashing' is never pleasant.

  • Can I also suggest that if you nip to the cubicles to try on some Bib-shorts you've just had delivered, that you close the lid in case the tags ping off and land in the toilet? You'll never be able to send them back if they don't fit. :oops:

    happened to me one friday morning just before i left for work, got dressed but was running late and suddenly realised my call of nature was going to happen 10mins early (once im on the bike it doesnt affect me and is suppressed).

    Got in the bathroom at home, whipped off my top, put everything in my helmet on the ledge. Bib shorts down. business done. flush. wash hands. go to put my jersey back on and BAM everything goes down the bog (apart from my helmet).

    Rescued it all out. Phone was broken :( orange replaced on insurance for free :D

    Tip no 3. get changed in the disabled toilet. its bigger, and you wont have anyone in another cubicle next to you. Also the likelihood of someone else needing it isnt very high
