Toilet breaks...be careful...park 'n' poop?

A man has received £1,000 compensation after a binman defecated on his driveway.

It happened at a property in Ryall, Worcestershire, in January.

The resident, who did not want to be named, complained because twice previously a refuse collector had urinated in the same place on his driveway.

Malvern Hills District Council, which paid out the money, has already disciplined the binman.

The authority said the issue of a lack of toilet facilities for staff who are on the road all day was "a sensitive one, particularly in rural areas".

A spokesman said the council was reviewing current practices to see if any improvements could be made.

He said the authority accepted full responsibility and "took immediate action by sending out an operative to make sure the area was cleaned and sanitised".

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Well we know it's a problem - but ffs, on the blokes driveway? The guy accepted a £1000 pay off - the cheapskate - I would have insisted that the drive was re-laid in a material of my choice.

Gold bullion sounds nice :Very Happy

Just a guess but I would say the present left on the driveway was most likely retaliation for the previous complaint about taking a piss.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Had I been his employer he would have been instantly dismissed. Some employers are far too weak and lenient.

Reminded me of a story when I worked on the building.
There was a gang of Paddys doing kerbs on our site and one of them was too lazy to walk up to the site toilets.
He went into an unfinished house and thought it was funny to leave a large deposit in the water tank in the loft.
But we had the last laugh as the plonker only wiped himself with fibreglass insulation and had to go to A&E:nana
