We've all been there haven't we lads. Sitting at our desk when nature calls, only to get into the loo and find that the shit we're having isn't taking the sort of time managers are entirely comfortable with.
There's not much you can do about it though, is there? It's not always one of those things you can force out - some you've just got to sit-back, reply to a couple of WhatsApps and let nature run its course.
The story emerged on the secrets app Whisper, where wronged employees have been sharing their worst sacking anecdotes.
The poster in question said: "I went for a poo at work and there was no toilet paper and I had to wait for a colleague to bring me some and then I got fired for being away from my desk for too long."
Pretty harsh that! You could hardly expect them to go back to their desk with a dirty arse.
That's not all, the Daily Mail has reported that as well as going for a poo, putting mustard on a burger before the ketchup and attending the funeral of a grandparent are just some of the things to cost people their jobs.
Another work said they were sacked after being cheated on: "My boss fired me because I broke up with his daughter. He said I wasn't man enough to just get over the fact she cheated."
There were also stories of employees being sacked just for being ill.
"I was unreliable because I was not recovered from back surgery in two weeks," one worker posted
Another said: "I was in the hospital with pneumonia and couldn't find someone to cover my shift."
Just goes to show there are some right dickheads out there. Come on, if you're going to give someone the sack at least get a legit reason.
And lads, maybe play it safe and try doing your monster shits in two trips if you've got an aggy boss.
