I remember a repeat phantom crapper being caught on a Westfield construction site. The subbies who got him, literally rubbed his face in his business and then physically ejected the chap plus tools, onto the nearest street.

I do a bit of sewerage stuff,

Thats exactly what you think it is,

and it smells like SPONDOOLIES

I asked work colleagues how much I'd need to pay for them to jump in, touch the bottom of the tank and go for a swim, one of them would do it for $100,000.

I thought that was a bit cheap to be honest.

Maybe this is why I don't mind touching personal effects found under that seat base, I'm waiting for the day when I gotta go in there to fix a pump.

One of the other crews went into one of the wells to pump it all out and clean it up, all sorts of things end up in there, he goes down on a rope and then blasts it all off, he wouldn't wear safety glasses because they just get caked in crap and he couldn't see, so all the splash back was going on his face.
How deep is the pit??no mention of not allowing a full body suit.

Don't lie you just want that 'personal effect ' all to yourself

Thats funny, only because one of the buildings i worked in (2 buildings attached, 1 is 42 floors, the other is 62 floors). So each has plant rooms. The agreed on rule with trades is, as the bogs in the plantrooms dont get cleaned twice a day like the tennant floors do, not even weekly, they have a bog brush and a thing of toilet duck. So you bomb the bog, give it a scrub. That worked well until the phantom. Not the same plant room every time, but no flush and man, absolutely giant logs. One plant room there was a police station. Why may you ask, it was where the nsw govco were at the time, so they had building security and also police for security.
Anyhows the police put up signs in their plant room their office was saying they would catch the phantom. Well, a review of the cctv, it was one of the building secuirity staff. No charges were laid, just an explanation about how to flush a bog. Yep, as to be expected, he was a canadian.

Golf holes? omg

Working country telco jobs, the remote sites may have external pan toilets, where you get to see years of archaeology ever growing taller in pyramid form, sometimes as high as the rim.

One lad was in one of the new flash chemical loos when the back pressure exploded it - off for a quick tetanus shot and a clean.

We had to try to access everything - the wolf of wall st hi rise stuff, one of the team found a dungeon in a lower basement level. Sounds a bit tamer nowadays when you've got shows like how to make your sex room.

For a short time one of the clients the mob i worked for had had a pretty seedy building in town. First job there was urgent and i was told to call ahead. It was a simple tripped kitchen curcuit, however it was for an AA meeting room. Apararently the alchos go nuts if they cannot get their coffee. Upstairs from that was a place called the enima room. Nope not colon cleansing, weird bondage and kinky stuff went on in there but the scariest was when the basement lost power. I had not been down there before. It was a business though. So navigating with a torch all the walls were painted black, all the rooms had seedy couches in them, a tv with a dvd player. I thought for sure it was batting cages. Well i was wrong. It was an underground karaoke place. Didn't know underground karaoke was a thing but apparently it is.

Ooh I can relate to that Mr4...

Had to survey a big multistorey in Adelaide CBD - alone - and the thing was abandoned, no power so everything on every floor away from the windows was dark, including basements. There were squatters and druggies in there, and I'd be walking into the dark and there was loud scurrying going on somewhere, couldn't see a thing, no way to get power on. Closest I got to being in one of those suspense horror films, walking blind and waiting for someone to have a go at me. If any of you played the original Doom, yeah, I found my torch wasn't powerful enough and the mind was playing bad tricks on me...

I've seen peoples doing it in fire stairs before when doing light checks.
Anyways the best story is when a lady who worked for a mob who my mob worked for who was a mate of mine said to me she was very much over the sexual advances from one of the security guards. I said to her he does that to everbody. A couple weeks later she pulls me aside, out of earshot to tell me she found out he goes both ways. Well, my bland response was i did say everybody, and she was lucky she hasnt seen his little unit. So standard response... anyhows all the trademen who work in the building have. Go into a plantroom to do your work and walk around a corner and that dude would be sitting with his phone in one hand and well i guess its how you use it so they claim in the other. The BMU garage on the roof deffinately had a bad smell to it.

Had a panel shop many moons ago and these blokes from up the gulf that we knew dropped their 4WD off for some work.
The smell was horrendous.
Turns out they'd boiled it on the way down and had no water to refill the radiator.

So what did they do?
They all p1ssed in the radiator to fill it up.
