Toilet Saviour
Ok, here’s a real guy I met recently who was pretty cool. I had just finished a long train journey to visit a friend, and was busting for a wee. When I got off the train I raced to the toilets in the station, but to my dismay there were pay-per-piss turnstiles! I didn’t have any 20p pieces to put in the machine, so I raced to the shop in the station to get one. In my pocket was a single 50p piece, so I asked the guy behind the counter what the cheapest thing was I could get change from. He said “Sorry mate, the cheapest thing in here is about 60p.”
Dismayed and desperate I said “Aw man! I need some change for the toilets! I don’t want to wet myself!”
He said “Yeah sorry mate, can’t help you,” and started talking with his co-worker. I skulked off, defeated, but just before I got to the door he shouted to me:
“Oi mate! You know there are two turnstiles, and one of them’s broken with ‘do not use’ tape all over it?”
I said “Yes?”
“Well they’re actually both broken – you can just walk straight through the turnstile without putting any money in! That’s what I do, anyway.”
“Whoa, thanks!”
Incredibly grateful, I rushed off to the toilet, and approached the turnstiles. I waited until the cleaners couldn’t see me, then walked right through the turnstile. It worked! I turned back to the people behind me with a huge grin on my face, but they hadn’t noticed. So I went and had a nice long wee.
