This is a question Tightwads

There's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.

Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

Just wait until I've finished, ai'ght?
The University just lost one whole hojillion pounds with the collapse of the Icelandic banking system.

As such, they’ve recently pressured us to start saving The Earth (well, the printed money bits of it anyways) by requesting that we turn off our monitors when we go home for work.

A sign has recently found itself into the ladies’ loo: “Please turn off the light when you are finished.”

Which is super duper if YOU’VE just finished, not if there are people left in the toilet doing a bit of a tinkle. And we’re suddenly plunged into darkness. And we’ve got to do the ‘waddle’…

I don't see what the problem is.
Wimmin adopt a seated approach to wazzing. Blokes have to aim.

If a Doris can't hit the target from being perched directly above it (and from a seated position) then they really ought to see a specialist.

I'd have sympathy if it was the Gents, but women should be fine. Especially if they do what they do in pubs and go to the toilet is 2's or 3's. You can have someone to scout the situation out and someone on 'light' detail.

Tsk!

Some people.

"Yes, hello."
"Yes, hello coworker. I'd like to do a wee. Care to join me in the toilets? Yes? See you there in 5."

I'm upset that you have a ladies' loo.
We have unisex toilets. And we have to share them with the students.

They are shared with the students
And students, as you are probably well aware, haven't got the skill of flushing down very well.

Unisex loos!
Oh dear god. I couldn't be doing with that.

I almost dragged a poor short haired tall woman out of the loos in Tate Britain yesterday because I thought she was a bloke.

Yes, I'm very ashamed of myself.

But so should she be ashamed.

She left a nasty, nasty smell in there.
