Jeanette - my thoughts exactly - have just been sitting here trying to think of a noise that sounds like that. Then I read Taff's post about drugs - and yes, someone snorting something could be mistaken for using a pump, I suppose. The way they sniff it up very quickly sounds like that "whoosh" noise of a pump. Erm ... not that I'm speaking from experience - just from what I've seen on TV. I think I saw it on Holby one time and the person was on their knees in a loo with the stuff on the loo seat lid.

And if he was a drug user he probably didn't even notice if he was in the ladies or gents loo when he rushed in for his fix!

Taff Report 2 May 2008 17:36

not if i was in a gent toilet !!LOL
but seriously, even if I had been "ill" and was in the wrong loo, I would have apologies and walked away rather sharpish, rather than go back in and lock the door!!

I walked into a gents toilet once................daydreaming as usual.

Two men were using the urinal, so I said "good morning", walked calmly out and ran like heck until I was two streets away! LOL

Kitty, I was vain enough one night to go out without my my specs, and inadvertantly walked into the gents loo, the smell alone, told me I was in the wrong place!LOL, I just turned and walked out , to a pub full of people clapping at me!!! (shamed)LOL

Thanks for all your replies, some have been very interesting to get another point of view....and some have made me laugh.


The noise I heard was heavy breathing and I just thought 'Oh someone is having trouble breathing..then a gasping noise.' I just assumed the ventilator...but then I thought it's definitely like something else. I could see the person was kneeling on the floor as I could see that from the gap between the cubicles. I don't want to to go into too many details but I am pretty sure what was going on.

I had only put the soap on my hands and hadn't run any water so I think he thought I had gone. The security man even seemed to think that maybe he had been looking under the cubicle before I had got there and that would tie in with the reason for him being in the ladies loo...and his later actions.

I do think that they could have stopped him and even said something like ' Be careful which loos you go in mate, you nearly scared some poor woman half to death' at least then he would have known I had told someone.

Just don't think it was handled very well

Hello Linda, hope your son is doing well....

I too had this experience, but with my young daughter when we were in the changing rooms of a swimming pool in Germany......

We were getting out of our wet swimmers when a mirror came under the cubicle from the next one......we were so shocked.......and me, being supermouth at the time.......shouted out you rotten pervert.....and came out of the cubicle with little more than a towel round me......I was too late, and of course we had an audience because this English woman was shouting at the top of my lungs......complained, but nothing was done about it.....

i think you did right to call the police, its disgusting, most places with public loos have altered the lighting so that people cant do drugs, and by the sounds of it he was up to no good and i would be inclined to go with my gut reaction of what he was up to, its unbelievable that security did not do much.

i would complain to head office without delay.
