Piping The Truth Into Your Brainballs!
Story published on January 24, 2009
A man who uses water instead of toilet paper says he was sacked for his “un-Australian” toilet habits.
Amador Bernabe, 43, was working as a machine operator in Townsville on a working visa from the Philippines
He claims his foreman followed him into the bathrooms questioning his toilet hygiene.
“I went to go to the toilet and I took a bottle of water, when my foreman saw me and he said, ‘you can’t bring the water in there’,”
The foreman followed Mr Bernabe into the toilet despite his protests.
“I said it’s my personal hygiene. I didn’t break any law, I didn’t break any rules of the company, why can’t I do this, and he said he would report me to the manager.
The next day, Mr Bernabe says he was called into the manager’s office and his employer sacked him for not going to the toilet the ‘Australian way’.
“He asked me what had happened and I explained to him and he said if I didn’t follow the Australian way I would be immediately terminated and I said ’sir, then you better terminate me’.”
