We had this woman who used to take a dump every afternoon and it was foul - then she would sit in a chair in the bathroom basking in the foulness of her sh*t
People who think the rules don't apply to them - come in 15mins late, leave 30 mins early, take long lunches - all on the same day - we do get some flexibility but seriously you are abusing it
