I was summoned early by Mother Nature this morning - a number 2 type visit was required at just gone 08:15. Just one out of the five traps was occupied so I plumped for trap 2. I noted that the lid was down. "Oh yes" I thought "a virgin toilet unsullied since last night's clean." I was chuffed. I was going to be the first customer. I lifted the lid expecting to see a polished seat and the reassuring blue hue of the toilet cleaning fluid thoughtfully dispensed by the appointed cleaner last evening. But it was not to be. I gasped as I was confronted by what looked like a scale model of this:

[IMG] [/IMG]

A big one, stranded, grounded at the bottom of MY pan. I dropped the lid and turned on my heels in disgust.

So what happened here?

Was this a trap set by a prankster colleague? Or was it an act of contempt executed by a disturbed, mildly mental colleague.

Is it ridiculous to assume that someone launched this leviathan, chuckled and then left it moored for the next unsuspecting punter (me) while they went into another trap to clean down?

I cannot think of another explanation.

How much is it to hire a private investigator these days?........

Your thoughts, as ever, are welcome.

Sadly, no. The phenomenon you describe has occurred in our offices at least three times in the last two weeks...

This is your most convincing explanation, IMO, and a symptom of our broken society. 😀

There was a (presumably) chap in one of my previous offices who kept leaving monsters but *sticking biros laterally through them* so that they couldn't possibly flush away. WT, and quite literally, F.

We had a phantom shi**er at our place a few years ago. Either it didnt go down or the U-bend looked like someone had been dragged down it.
Never really got to the bottom of the culprit.

My favourite is trap 2. Its in the middle always seems fresh first thing in the morning.

When i was a child i saw one in Crewe train station on top of the toilet lid. Someone had presumably put the seat and lid down, sat on the lid and done thier business and just left it there. It disturbed me. Saw one too in a basin type urinal in one if those Spanish toilets you see behind beach bars. There are some sick people around.

As opposed to my wife's toilet, of course..

Annyway, what happened just now makes me wish I only did a no.1 in my own toilet at home too!
There's big mirrors in our bogs opposite the traps.. I walk in and get an eyeful of hairy arse - bloke is stood in trap 2, trousers down, with the bloody door wide open.
I didn't need that when I was feeling all smug about only using my own toilet at home. 😡

I saw a #2 laid out in a urinal in a pub in Barnsley once.

Couldn't believe somebody had reversed in and dropped one out in a effectively a (well lit)public area.

Thing is though, what disturbs me further is that you never see and loo paper with such proudly left logs. That's even more disgusting I reckon.

Nervous pooer Dez? I had a bit of a problem with it as a yoof, successfully managed 5 years at secondary school (cant remember if I had an issue with it at primary) without ever gracing a school bog seat with my arse.
A more surprising feat was the annual week long camping trip in wales with the cubs/scouts. Chemical [s]toilet[/s] bucket? I don't think so, the midweek trip to the swimming pool* will suffice for me thankyou.

*proper toilets in the changing area obviously, no jokes about mars bars in the pool please.

Had the misfortune to use a public convenience once where someone had left one in a bread roll on the windowsill. Crowning glory was the addition of a lettuce leaf to garnish.

I didn't investigate whether there was any mayonnaise or ketchup.

Three possible answers:

Either the culprit removed said log from the pan, flushed the paper them replaced the evidence.

Removed the paper and disposed of it somewhere else.

OR

Brought the turd in with him from home.

If the last option is correct, don't accept a drink from anyone's flask for a while.

Hmm, it's possible.

They could have frozen it at home years before though, then set it free at a time of their choosing.

when I was is poland last time, was staying in a hostel and there was a cubicle that had a huge log lying on the seat. someone must have actually had to stand on the seat and crouched to get it where it was. Also,, in the same toilet (different cubicle) someone had barfed into the toilet but must have also needed to evacuate the other end too as it had a turd of epic proportions dressing the puke. Nice!

My 2p is that it's not a submarine, it's a floater.

These will survive any number of repeated attempts to get rid of them and cheekily pop to the surface again just as you thought they'd gone.

One of the senior managers at a previous company I worked in resorted to trying a bucket of water on one that 'someone' had left behind. He was leaving the cubicle with the bucket, defeated, just as the MD of one of our biggest customers walked into the loo and headed for the same cubicle.

He didn't feel able to offer much of an explanation as to why he was leaving the toilets with a big bucket hand leaving a large turd floating in the pan but managed to blush everytime he met this MD for ever after.

He disconnected the "chain" in the ladies loos and then went back later to claim his prize(s). WTF?

My one and only visit to Glastonbury was in the early 90s. Managed to defer any bowel evacuation to the Sunday afternoon by which time the chemical toilet cubicle I chose had an almost perfectly conical mound of cider-driven poo protruding a good 12inches above the rim, to which someone had added the crowning glory of - I kid you not - half a walnut.

Actually, to continue a fairly vile theme, whilst I worked at the same place as biro-man; we had a meeting in Frankfurt. They had those bog seats which rotate after flushing, passing through a little disinfection thingummy at the back of the unit. Said colleague, in his cups, thought it would be humorous to drop a Richard on the seat, then flush, and watch it get smeared into a fine layer over the entire seat.
Was he biro-man? Or just a bit manky when leathered. Were there two faecal deviants within same blue-chip Pharma department? Distressing thought. Hmmm..

I've been researching this issue.

Apparently, floaters are the result of a meal high in fat.

They will not flush unless hit with something like what hit Boscastle. (thanks www).

When I was at college we had a phantom logger. On a daily basis leviathans (why do we only use that word in relationship to gigantic turds) were left creating a sense of wonder. Nobody, on our landing was owning up to the production of these monsters. We initiated turd watch. Eventually we identified the culprit. It was the American girlfriend of one of us. She was very attractive and petite, and we couldn't believe her bowels could contain the amount of matter required. We started discreetly (probably not) monitoring what she ate but found nothing out of the ordinary. I think the relationship came to an end because we gave her boyfriend no end of hassle about what he must be forcing into her!

Slightly OT, but...

Just returned back from the office toilets, where the guy in the cubicle next to mine ass-spluttered the 'incorrect' noise from Family Fortunes and s****ed. What's up with the world? 😐

My monster poos (laid down very rarely) are behemoths, not leviathans. 😳

Sadly this sort of thing is all too common. My general rule is if a beast is left, especially with no paper then off with their heads! (To be clear the head of the perpetrator and not that of the beast itself.)

Something that bothers me is that there is constantly blood on almost every toilet in my place of work. I work out-of-hours and there are only about 12 of us in most shifts and there is blood on the seats or in the bowls of just about every male and female toilet in the place - WTF!

Also to add to the collection of turd-horror stories - I once saw a snake-stool curled up in a public cafe toilet with its head poking out over the seat. It's girth was like that of a python!

Wwaswas - Oh no, I do my prowling very surreptitiously. And even if I didn't, I'm still slightly less weird than the bloody toilet decorators I work with.

Derek_starship - the halal toilet meat hypothesis isn't bad. If it is a widespread case of piles, cancer and so on that is one statistically unusual hotspot! Never know though!

During my first year at university we had a phantom poo-er in our halls, every now and then someone would leave a floater that was almost the exact dimensions of a coke can. We never did find out who it was but suspected the posh ginger girl, this was on the (totally unfounded) basis that we all though she liked it 'up the davis' from well endowed gentlemen.

Thrutches - that's a good word Harry.

I used to do something similar when young right up until my parents commented on the amount of noise I was making (straining). They were decorating the hall outside the toilet and we had a curtain up for a door so I guess it was quite loud. Ever since then I've had a problem 'going' when there's someone else in the vicinity.

35 years later and I still have to concentrate when using the loo at work, and I shout at the missus if she tries to talk to me while going at home. Oddly though I can happily converse with my 2 year old when he lets himself in.

Not sure what point I'm trying to make, and thank god for the anonymity of the internet, other than be kind to your son as you never know what lasting damage you might do! I would also add that I'm quite normal other than that.

Back while in Uni a mate of mine forgot about a snickers bar he'd had in his pocket all night. Since it was quite molten he wouldn't eat it and instead decided to massage it while still in the wrapper.

After a few minutes he pushed it out onto the middle of the tiled floor in the halls' gents.

I dread to think of what the cleaners thought.

Oh, just remembered, I did once poo down a chimney at a party. Had to get a mate to fetch toilet paper as I couldn't climb down with my troosers round my ankles. No idea on size though as it was the neighbours chimney, but I'd be surprised if it was larger than normal.

There has been a few "dirty protests" at my work.

Highlights were one left in the sink, one left on the floor and various deliberate smearings on the cubicle walls.

They have been spread (no pun intented) over a period of several years so one can only presume its the same individual who has never been caught. I'd be really worried if it turned out to be more than one person.

I work in a large office for a multinational IT company!

tonyd - I am almost imploding here trying not to laugh out loud at your chimney poo tale.

There's a chap who works in our manufacturing area (shop floor) who often lays a cable in his bog roll clad hand. He the proceeds to pass it under the gaps, left and right to show the "neighbours." It then goes back in the pan.

Perhaps he's an ex-coarse angler who misses parading his catch.

Talking about dirty protests, Mrs Nick used to work for a large food manufacturing co, supplying big supermarkets, these supermarkets audit the factories to make sure they are clean etc (normally for the purpose of pointing out petty things which they then use to hammer the supplier down on price....), the co being audited normally sends a scout 5 mins ahead of main party to check all is ok.

Somehow between the scout and main party checking the toilets some committed individual had smeared **** off <supermarketname> on the wall.

Oh how they laughed.

The chap in question is a quality inspector. He obviously prefers to oursource turd inspections as to inspect his own would be a busman's holiday.
