Hooks robbed from back of cubicle doors

    Why do some people go to the bother of doing the above?

    I was in the WC earlier to have a number 2 and when I went to take off my jacket, there was no hook at the back of the door. There were certainly holes to indicate there was a hook previously!

    So why does someone go to the bother of unscrewing the hooks? They ain't easy to remove with a bunch of keys so someone would have had a screwdriver on their self to perform the act. Hooks ain't like golddust so why oh why would someone remove them? :mad:

    Maybe they broke off? Someone put something too heavy on it? They're usually made of cheap chipboard.

    It fell off?

    The Hookie Monster? :eek:

    They break off, then the premises remove the sharp bit.

    What I hate the most is when "for a good time call 087........." is written on the wall or door and it turns out to be a 50 year old truck driver. :mad:

    Why can't you have a good time with a 50 year old truck driver? they have at least two orifices that you could service, and they might even have drugs.

    People slamming the doors open and breaking them..? If they are stealing them then they must have some serious style in their home, pub ashtrays, hand wash dispensers, hundreds of light bulbs..

    I was supposed to stay in a bungalow before in Donegal where the previous person who rented it stole all the copper, the kitchen and bathroom! Pathetic, but funny enough less annoying than the k*ob who steals the batteries, bulbs or door knobs!

    People steal the strangest things. Ask anybody working in hotels or self catering the number of times the screw in thing that holds the lampshade on a light has to be replaced in a given year and you would not believe it.

    Nah, these were well screwed in. Someone put the effort in to nick them.

    For fux sake, you can get a load of hooks(not hookers:D) in the Euro shops so why nick 'em? It ain't worth it!

    Could be worse, they could be 60 and unemployed.

    Was in a public toilet recently and the toilet roll was in a standard-looking dispenser and above it was a sign that said 'this dispenser is fitted with an alarm that will alert security in the event of tampering.'

    I can just imagine security running through a crowded shopping centre screaming 'geeeeet out of the waaaaaaaaaayyyy'.... :D

    yeah, right :D

    Emmm I have seen them broken plenty of times. Once the hook part breaks off the premises comes along with a screw driver to remove the sharp part left behind. You understand?

    Nah, this one was nicked. There was no damage, someone actively unscrewed the hook off. Unreal why someone would go to such lengths to just get a hook that costs only a few cents!!

    Haha you really don't understand. If someone had damaged the hook (left a heavy jacket on it and part of the hook broke) and the premises owner took away the broken piece and screwed off the piece attached to the door, you would never know what had happened, only that it is gone!!!

    Can someone take this from here?

    I will avoid using public toilets for number 2s as much as possible but if I must, I will:

    a) Wipe the rim of the seat with toilet paper and;

    b) strip down to my undies, and;

    c) if the floor is clean enough, I might take my shoes and socks off - I like the feel of a cold, tiled floor on my feet as I take a crap - it's a sort of OCD thing with me. It goes without saying that toilets with carpet floors are a no no.

    d) Use copious amounts of bog roll and flush as much as possible. I don't want to leave a "souvenir" for the next toilet user. And that brings me to the question...

    Why do some people not bother to flush? It's bloody manky and scummy!:(:mad:

    So you reckon it wasn't nicked but removed coz of a heavy jacket damaging it? Thats a new one.

    ? you mean take all your clothes off except undies? Counter productive.

    Sorry - should have clarified that - I meant my jocks and vest/t-shirt. I hate being clothed whilst having a sh*te.

    Do not commit a crime my friend, you'd last only as long as you can hold in a crap in prison.
