I will usually have to slash at least three times on delivery despite going just before leaving the office. I only have one cup of coffee although I accept that stopping this will certainly help. I have a large bowl of porridge for breakfast to sustain me through a hard mornings work and this obviously contains liquid, and the gloopy substance needs to be washed down with plenty of water.

I cover many different walks and some are less problematic than others, but when you gotta go you gotta go!! Which might even mean an alleyway somewhere. Just have to be on the lookout for the Piss Police!! LOL
Don't take the chance Dave, buy some man nappies, they work for me :cuppa

When you have a Production Control Manager (SB9) who cannot understand the concept of Relaxation Allowance (typically 12% over and above Meal Breaks ... of which Personal Need (Toilet) is 5% for Men and 7% for Woman) and believes that OPGs should work non-stop (probably at 100 Bs) then there is no hope !!!!!

(and the same Production Control Manager walks outside to the patio area for an unofficial coffee break maybe 4 or 5 times/day >>> of course 'thinking' about the job in hand as he enjoys the fresh air)

Rarely if ever have i been caught that short whilst out on delivery but i do avail myself of a long and luxurious sit down in the stalls on RM's time. Knowing im paid to poop makes it a real pleasure.

This one has made me chuckle....there once was a postie in our office who was well known for erm....answering the call of nature in odd places(usually peoples gardens)..i recently found out this postie suffered with irritable bowel syndrome and a weak bladder...not ideal things to have in our job...once (allegedly) this postie got caught short and needed a number two+one urgently..working in a very affluent suburb was of no concern to this poor postie who was bursting..any way the postie finds what they thought was a perfect and quiet spot behind a wall at the front of someones house....so this postie puts their bags down,drops their underwear..and does a number two...looking around the garden for leaves to clean the mess..but the leaves in this garden were damp and dirty so reaching into their delivery bag pulls out a load of door to doors(see they are useful) and promptly cleans up the mess..just as this poor postie is wiping their bottom..a rather posh lady walks by walking her little dog..peering over the wall at the postie who to say looked sheepish would be an understatement...like a true professional postie though responded by ..bidding her a good morning..whereupon she shook her head and proceeded to walk her dog..this poor postie thought they were in deep sh.it and fully expected the managers to act accordingly if they ever got wind of it..but nothing ever came of it..and the postie remained in their job until leaving.

Yup ... totally agree but there are different types of s#itters:

1. (Me) as soon as I arise a visit to the dunny and I am dun for the day.

2. IBS or people with intermittent bowel movements - sometimes OK but on other occasions the urge can strike at almost any time.

3. Constipated OPGs (but only from their backsides) - walk for days without an issue but when it comes it comes and comes and comes and comes.

4. The 'Quadrant' Factor ... clearly not much of an issue nowadays but a decent ruby the night before can have a similar effect - thanks God for dark shorts.

there is nowhere at all to go on my round, I always need a wee about half way round, so am forced to piss at the side of my pouch drop box which is surrounded by bushes. Im not happy doing it, but if I dont I will piss my pants and have to complete my round in uncomfortable and smelly conditions :whistle

Worked with an old boy today who had been displaced from his walk due too revisions, when he returned after his walk he opened the passenger door slightly to use as a shield while I sat in the drivers seat & urinated between the door gap & the van sill, when he gave it a shake urine was splashing over the door card & seat & dashboard 😮 he did this three times today 🤪

It was a long time ago but one of my colleagues got caught short, needed a shite and dived into an open car garage, did the necessary and continued on his walk. The next day a rather irate customer brought into the office a bale of hay with the offending jobby sat on top, to show the office manager :crazy:
