‘Word of warning though; don’t use them to stir your coffee because it’ll taste rank’

It has been revealed that the entire staff of a company are completely flummoxed by a  plastic stick with bristles which has been discovered in the toilets.

IT solutions company, Solutions For IT, found that its seventy-six employees had literally no idea what the object was, nor why it sat next to the lavatory pan.

They were however all agreed that the toilets were absolutely filthy, and demanded management do something about it.

As part of its investigation into why its staff found cleaning the toilet after using it so fucking difficult, Solutions For IT discovered that almost half of them used the brush as a backscratcher – which is not as unhygienic as it sounds, given that it has never entered the loo.

Nobody was able to even hazard a guess as to its true purpose.

Receptionist Wendy Nailinthehead said “Sometimes when I’m in there explosively shitting, or looking at Tinder, or just hiding, I like to pretend that thing is a microphone, and I mime singing ‘Young Hearts Run Free’ into it.

“Presumably that’s not what it’s really for though?”

Marketing Drone Tim Twanks said “I’ve never noticed it before, but then my attention is always drawn to the filth all over the pan, the seat, and often the floor as well.

“When I am at home I don’t usually coat the room in my excrement, because I would have to clear it up. But in public spaces it normally just disappears of its own accord, doesn’t it? Well not here! It’s a disgrace that they make us use that loo.

“Can you pass me that plastic thingy in the pot? I ate onions for lunch and I want to brush my teeth with it.”
