City Shit. posted by Richard Seymour
It had better be quick if you work for Merril Lynch:Toilet cubicles have also been fitted with timer switches, and doors will automatically open five minutes after staff have entered to do their business. 60 seconds before the timer is triggered, the overhead lighting in each cubicle will flash intermittently, giving staff time to finish up.
Since I mentioned Dario Fo earlier, I'm just trying to remember what play it is in which he has a character mocking the boss for trying to shorten toilet breaks. I think it's Can't Pay, Won't Pay, about Milan Fiat workers who decided not to pay the bus fares as they'd become too expensive, thus launching a popular movement...
