Hang in there

Today, I found out that a water pipe at my work had burst over the weekend. There is absolutely no water in the building, including the bathrooms. It's a 9-hour day, and I took a laxative this morning before I came in. FML

i'm by no means certain, but i'm pretty sure its probably illegal to make you work in a building that doenst have water and toliets...i may be wrong..but i do remember hearing something like that..atleast in the UK, but also..why would you take a laxative before you went to work?

Why would you take a laxative before work?

That is true - it's illegal to work in a building that doesn't have working bathroom facilities. But I hope your work is willing to pay for your new pants!

Being illegal doesn't magically stop it from happening, unfortunately. The OP could have "volunteered" to work in the building. The risk of possibly being laid off or a misguided sense of duty can cause people to get coerced into working in less than ideal conditions. I hope the OP at least got paid time and a half as compensation for not having a toilet.

do you honestly think your job is gonna pay you to take craps all day? and why would you want to blow up the bathrooms at your work? Im pretty sure that's something you should take care on your own time! YDI

No shit man, that just screams bad idea.

the smart thing would be to take it once you get home. Who would chose to have the ***** at work on purpose?

Correct me if I'm wrong but....FAKE!

Why would someone want to take a laxative and go to work... ???? you WANT to crap your brains out in a bathroom shared with your co-workers? yikes.

Taking a laxative does not mean crapping "your brains out." The OP could take just enough to ease constipation.

I know a few people with digestive problems who take laxative as part of a daily routine otherwise they can't go or it's always painful.

That's not anything a good ole adult diaper wouldn't take care of.

It is also illegal in the US to have no plumbing in a public or private work place.

You can still crap, you just can't flush. FTheJanitorsLife.

Omg this made me laugh so hard, imagining the janitor and the look on his face. I'm sure he'll have a few choice words.

You know there was no joy in that mans life on that day.
