I write this topic as I have realised that I have a 'favourite' cubicle in the work toilets.

Of the three, I always choose a specific one if it is available and having recently had cause to use one of the other cubicles I am reminded why there is a favourite. The seat is better, and the toilet roll holder isn't trying to take up the same space as my knee.

I accept that many of us probably have a favourite chair, shirt, mug, child or car. But a favourite toilet is probably more unusual.

Surely everyone has 'their' cubicle at work?!

I've got my favourite one certainly!

Parking spot in the Works Car Park. Sad but true.

My oldest child. Much cooler than the other 2. I think because I've known him longer, so we just get on better. The other 2 are girls though, so maybe its that.

I definitely have a favourite works trap..... It's the one with the best WiFi/4g connection!

Darn those colleagues who want to poop with the same excellent internet connectivity. hehe

The job isn't finished until the paperwork is completed

Woman in my office always parks in the same bay, the carpark is large open plan and can be used by anyone, she gets p'd off if someone parks in "her" space.

My Mum's soup ladle, it was my Gran's originally and passed to my Mum when she died. I don't know what it is about it but I really like using it and seemingly have gone on about it to the extent that my Mum's now put it in her will for me. I don't care about a share of the house or her cash as long as I get the ladle.
Also I love my home made fish slice, it was in a holiday villa we rented years ago and I liked it so much that I stole it when we came home. I later had some remorse and wrote to the villa owner admitting my sin and offering to pay for it. She very kindly told me I was welcome to keep it free of charge, I was disproportionately delighted.

I'd make sure that I got in early and park in her space intentionally hehe

That said I do have my prefered parking spot at work, I'm usually in early enough to claim it, but really wouldn't lose any sleep about not being in it. Main reason is that it's the BMW estate club area, my 535D, a colleague's 320D nono, and another colleague's recently acquired 340i thumbup

I tend to gravitate to the middle of the three cubicles at work mainly because it seem to have a better flush than the rest eek

Usual crap other than that e.g. the wife has her side of the sofa I have mine.

Yep - parking space at work for me. It has a column either side of it so no-one can open their doors onto my car as it's a wider space. smile
It's also so I don't lose my car in our 5 floor underground car park!

There's a lovely 1920s kinematograph I always try to use. It's now 3-screen but the main auditorium even has the mighty Wurtilizer, now on a scissor lift.

There's often close to a private showing in the circle so I often get my fave seat. On the aisle by the top left entrance, directly opposite stage right. Perfect.

nono The middle one is the buffer cubicle, you should only use it as a last resort
