Who would steal a toilet brush?

[Slave to the Phone]

I was working adoptions at one of those big Petsomething places and the clerks were sharing stories of things that people steal. The conversation started because one of them had gone to the restroom and saw that someone had stolen the toilet brush. The used toilet brush from a public toilet.

That is wrong in so many ways.

Maybe to use as a new toothbrush? When your head is that far up your ass brushing ain't easy.

[fma_fanatic]

It once again proves that people will steal anything.

[dalesys]

When your head is that far up ...

That's how they smuggled it out.

dang that's fucking cheap.

OK. I thought I had seen the absolute depths of drunken kleptomania but that... words fail me. And that should just not be possible.

I stopped in at the Petsomething place tonight and was told that the new toilet brush is chained to the toilet. The employees have a pool going as to when that one gets stolen. They allowed me to enter the pool...I'm betting it will take less than 2 weeks, because if something is worth being chained down, it must be valuable.

Some people's kids. Le sigh.

btw give the doggies & kitties a from me.

Thank you I will. I can't foster dogs because I'm gone all day, but I just smooshed kittens in your name.

I can believe it since the same thing has happened at my job as well. I've noticed that what gets stolen even more are the keys to the bathrooms themselves. Even if the keys are attached to the sign for the particular bathroom, they often disappear. I will say that it's been several months since a key's been taken, but it's only a matter of time.

I was talking about this at work and one of my coworkers said that the toilet brush would be just fine as long as whoever stole it washed in in the dishwasher.

I've eaten food that he has brought in to share. Where the heck is the barfing smiley?!?!?

[greensinestro]

Gah! Maybe it'll be used as a back scratcher!

Considering a lot of those places allow people to bring their pets with them, it sounds like there might be an incorrect assumption being made - namely that the thief only had 2 legs. Leave the bathroom door slightly ajar, dog not on leash, and knowledge of disgusting (to humans) canine habits - suddenly it's a perfectly logical theft.

I would have NEVER thought about that! You are right, suddenly is sounds much more logical
