*just for funsies*

I came up with the idea for this gem of a thread while having a wee.

In Paddington train station, no less. Upon entering the toilets, I was greeted with a curious display of information:

I cannot fathom how this is helpful for anyone? The only potentially useful info is whether there are ANY free cubicles… and if there aren’t, how many people are in ‘the queue’. Even if there are no free cubicles, are people going to turn away… or enter the toilets to see the length of the queue.

In rageful protest, I span round super fast, spraying my wee around, eventually getting enough lift to hover out of the toilets and onto my train, on which I’m enjoying my Gail’s… albeit with slightly soggy shorts.

Can anyone think of anything else equally pointless? Home appliances wanting to connect to WiFi is another one… unless anyone has figured out how to load and unload the washing machine via the internet other than sending a nonchalant text to the other half.
 
Sorry but I find that very usefull, zero chance I want to use a public bog when there is a load of smelly old men in there taking a no 2.

If that sign says 20% + then I`m holding it in if possible.

Your first error is enabling a situation that requires using a train station toilet.

But for those dire circumstance, surely a cacophony of gaseous eruptions is a more comfortably environment to hide one’s own ‘volume?
