New 'Sloping' Toilets... - Page 3

Annabellethecat66 · ‎03-12-2010

To give you an idea about how I don’t get...well...stuff...I kept thinking it was saying slop...you know slop?

I couldn’t figure out where toilets came into it.

But I still don’t understand why a toilet seat that goes downward would make you want to get back to work?

I wonder who thought that one up?

@Susan Louise I’m glad I stopped working in 1973...Ha!

I guess eventually everyone will be wearing diapers so no toilet breaks.

We are more and more recognizing that lying on a gurney is not the best way for child delivery and sitting on a toilet is not the best way for that business. So, if you were in a squatting position with the rear slung low, sotospeak, it would be more conducive to elimination as the colon is in a natural position. This toilet is just the opposite and could create more worries of colon cancer and job resignations.

You're talking about the Squatty-Potty (as seen on Shark Tank!)

I don't remember which investor bought into the step stool in front of a toilet seat, did it actually become a big seller?

I believe that Lori Granier invested in the company, and I think that it has been presented on QVC.

Big seller?

I honestly don't know.

Clever! I see what you did there

Our office building has the auto-flush toilets. They are supposed to flush once you move--but I swear those things have a mind of their own. If you don't move quickly it's not pleasant.

I saw that earlier in the week and I laughed so hard. Boy what people don't think of.

@Lindsays Grandma We have a squatty potty in one of the bathrooms....had it for years. Healthier way to take care of your business.

If employers start putting these new toilets in the workplace then employees should stop answering phone calls or emails during their free time. My husband answer emails and does work from home on his free time. Even on vacation he has done the same. So if his bosses would do that I would advice it's time to move on.

I once worked for a company that would love these. This company made us account for every minute of every day on a spreadsheet. And that included bathroom breaks. The spreadsheet had to total 8 working hours per day or else. My boss monitored potty breaks and if she decided you were spending to much time in the bathroom you were given a talking to. Glad I no longer work there.

If your husband is salaried, that's different.

I worked for a company for 25 years that did this. When we left our desk, we had to put in a code in our phone to show where we were and that code also turned on the voice mail. Heavens forbid if your phone was ringing off of the hook and you weren't there to answer it.

There were codes for break, lunch, restroom, copy machine, meetings, etc. Your boss could see in real time if you were at your desk. Also, could see how many calls you made outgoing and how many incoming and the number and who it belonged to.

I never had any issues, but others did. I once had a cubby mate who was on the phone with her boyfriend for eight hours or more a week. When she was called out for that and told to stop making long personal calls during work hours and to use her breaks/lunch for personal calls, she got a device that she could wear behind her ear and used her personal cell phone. She had thick almost waist length hair and hid it well. She was on the phone all day long.

There were coworkers that were let go for wasting company time. It is amazing how little work ethic some people have.

I think the phones were better at employee time management than the leaning toilets seats.

I also think that five minutes on the toilet is long enough for most employees. Most people do their " morning glory" at home and only use the toilet at work if there is an emergency or unexpected problem.

These special toilets could not be used in the handicapped stalls, so anyone who had a special need for more than five minutes could always use those.
