Well, hi ya! How's it going? Help yourself to a steaming mug of java and a virtual treat to set you right. Nothing like getting you going, eh! Speaking of 'going'...
If you have access to a clean toilet at your workplace,
you’ll probably appreciate it a lot more after reading this.
We usually
take common things like toilets for granted, without once thinking about
how luck we are! Bus conductors in Bangkok, Thailand, don’t even get
toilet breaks – they wear adult diapers instead, and are forced to
answer nature’s call on the job.
That might sound gross, but it’s actually kind of sad. The
story is the same in several parts of Thailand – blue collar workers
aren’t even provided with basic amenities. Bus conductors have it the
worst – without any work breaks to tend to their physiological needs,
they have to wear adult diapers all day long . It’s no laughing matter –
the diapers are actually making them ill.
One of those affected is Watcharee Viriya, a conductor who
developed urinary tract infection because she spent several hours away
from a restroom. So she started wearing diapers, which only made matters
worse. “It was uncomfortable when I moved, especially when I urinated
inside,” she said.
Uh-huh...I guess it would be. Perhaps also uncomfortable for the nearby passengers. BTW...the picture above must be the one bus in Bangkok that isn't jammed to the rafters. I've been on many, many Bangkok buses where if I was any closer to the lady next to me, we'd have to get married!
See ya, eh!
