Today, after months of running up four flights of stairs to what I thought was the only male restroom in the building, I found another one. It's always been just around the corner from my desk. FML

OP here. All your comments have me in fits of laughter, and yes I do seem to have gained quite some leg muscle! For those asking why I hadn't seen the other toilets, it's because I thought the only thing around that corner was the post room, so I've never had a reason to go around there to find the other gents. Although I don't work in an office with all women, most are, and the issue of toilet placement has never come up when taking to the men. And before anyone else says about it, we do have lifts, but our boss gets annoyed at us if we used it. Thanks for getting this posted!

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

The only path to success is through perseverance. Keep going up those stairs and use it as your exercise!

Knowing is half the battle. But it sounds like you lost that half, but won the other half. Probably isn't only your leg muscles that got a work out.

So are the lifts just for managers? I've worked in places like that, it's annoying. But you are right, you gain leg muscle.
fleckney26 25
No, every other employee in every other department can use them. Just us that aren't allowed to, he doesn't want us to be lazy. In his defence, he uses the stairs all the time too

At least you get your exercise daily... Try not to drink so much

I find that quite hard when the free tea dispenser is almost right next to my desk

Ahh, us British love a cup of tea whilst in the office! ☺ Unless you're incredibly desperate OP, I'd keep going up and down the stairs! Like someone said, extra time away from the desk and exercise! ☺

It's not just the British who appreciate a good cup of tea.
fleckney26 25
Yeah, but there's enjoying a good cup of tea, and then there's having 5 empty cups of tea on your desk by midday

at least you have become fitter out of it.

Fitter is not a word. More fit is what you were looking for.
_OF_WG_KTA_ 15
I think that would be the fitter word

As I've said, it was the only gents I was shown on my induction, and the others where somewhere I had no need to go

Really, 50? Really? If anyone's jumping off of a building it should be you after that useless comment.

lol I can relate to this. For about 3 months after I started my current job I turned right out of the stairwell and walked around the giant square corridor to my office, before realizing that if I turned left instead it was literally 2 doors away from the stairwell.
