Bonus question, do you have a favorite work resteoom that’s out of the way and less likely to be disturbed?
I think my record is about 15 minutes and my favorite restroom is located on an unoccupied floor. Currently there scrolling lemmy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I had a job as a human broom in a power plant. I had to dust off all the handrails at the plant. I can’t really remember, but I think it took a week to get all handrails dusted off, and when I got back to the beginning you could not see any difference. I was hired for 6 months. I could go a whole day without meeting any other employees. I had my own shed outside the plant with my own toilet.
I spent the first 2-4 hours sleeping, then an hour or two cleaning, listening to music, and then spent whatever time I needed on the toilet during a day.
Not the worst job I’ve had, haha. Quite chill.
I haven’t needed to. I do a bit of driving around to our field locations so if I don’t want to work I make up and excuse to drive to a site an hour or 2 away, do an “on site audit” of our gear and travel back. The whole time I can listen to a podcast or an audiobook.
I like doing that but have been too busy recently. I’ve also done it just do I can get lunch at a particular place.
Literally on the potty now, not pooping. I don’t typically go for long periods of time but I go a LOT. Sometimes up to ten minutes if I’m extra sad.
I work in OT for a somewhat big company.
During the high season months, our job is to be “on call” during our shift. It means that during your 8 hours, the maintenance guys of the factory can call you for whatever problem happens (mostly with PLCs but also with industrial computers that have a SCADA system) and my job is to solve the issue, as fast as possible.
This means that some days, I won’t even see my office in all the shift because I’m running here and there with my laptop solving issues… But somedays I’ll spend the whole 8 hours chilling in my office watching anime, learning some language, or even playing videogames.
My boss knows about this, he even enters the office sometimes and catches us chilling, but his mindset with us is (and this is a quote of him): I hate when I enter your office and see you fucking around, but I actually don’t, because, if you’re here fucking around, it means you did a good job because the factory is running.
TL;DR: 8 hours, but not in a restroom, in my office.
Good boss mindset. In fast food service as long as my boss sees the orders going through cleanly they don’t really care how much you fuck around, cause it’s already hard to catch a break so any time where you can breathe it’s usually deserved.
Not me but:
Brooo omg my older brother SLEPT in the bathroom of a warehouse for TWO HOURS 🤣
Like dude hid in a stall and just… wait how the fuck can you even sleep in the position?
He never got caught lol
My mom was like: “They’re gonna catch you slacking and then drag you out jn front of everyone to humiliate you”
Mom told me that back in China, they micromanage every employee and you could never get away with being “afk” for 2 hours lmfao…
But is a big place in that warehouse so its hard to notice someone gone for 2 hours…
Then they started doing bathroom signout sheets… like wtf… are we still in K-12 school??? (it’s a unionized place too not sure whats going on now lol)
One IBS person gets singled out for punishment and it should become a good fight.
@WongKaKui @edg 15 years ago I had few friends working in a warehouse half of the people that worked there sleep while the other half worked, then they switch places… they even had some kind of hidden bedroom made of cartboard
15 mins is a standard shit break tbh. You want to use the far stalls though as those have phone signal. If you use the ones closer to the door, you only get signal when someone opens the door.
If you have a good recording of someone quietly sobbing to play you can avoid people hassling you
Yes, my job has multiple offices in the area and I know where the secret shitters are in each of them. I’ve definitely occupied one for 15 minutes before.
They call those “safe harbours”.
Any port in a storm
I used to work in a kitchen and shit was stressful. I’d regularly have panic attacks in the bathroom for like an hour at a time
20 min I think. The business was almost that long. Anyway…
The worse the job is, the more my manager clocks my breaks, the more time I spend in the bathroom.
Office job pro tip: Don’t ever let someone see you go into a bathroom. Even if you are only in there for 30 seconds, if someone sees you go in, then spots you again in the hallway half an hour later, they may assume you were in there for half an hour. I had to answer to this stupidity on my performance evals twice.
I used to work in a sheet metal shop years ago back when I was an alcoholic. I was super hungover one day and just took a nap in the stall for an hour and change.
I used to take naps in the server room.
I got caught by the janitor doing that haha
My legs fall asleep after like 20 min so I would love some advice on extending my stay
40 minutes. I was hungover as fuck. I was visiting one of our locations abroad and nobody really knew me, plus I had an agenda that was mostly solo-stuff, so it was relatively easy to just hide until I was fit for work.
