I'll be 41 years old this month.

I'd like to say I've lived a bit of a life. I've had and lost friends. I've found and lost love. I was even married for a little while. I was directionless career-wise coming out of high school but now I'm quite successful and am paid well for it. I'm moderately well-travelled. I've been to and seen a lot of places both domestic and abroad and not all of them were so nice.. some were even outright sketchy.

But today, on April 1st 2024 - I saw my very first bona fide, honest-to-god, ready for use, manky Glory Hole. A clearly frequented hole in the side of a toilet stall complete with some eager gent waiting on the other side.

From now on my life has been split in two; before I saw a Glory Hole and after. I was so young in the before-times. So naive. So full of hope.

So... Did you use it or nah?

[–] bull@aussie.zone 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Seemed rude not to.

spoiler

Seriously though I actually did a big Nope-180 out of the stall and found another at the other end.

Please clarify 'the other end'......

[–] bull@aussie.zone 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Other end of the row of stalls

[–] Eagle@aussie.zone 3 points 7 months ago

Oh thank goodness. I was slightly concerned for your.... ahem.... other end.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Oh no. I need to know if it's local to me.

[–] bull@aussie.zone 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Nah but I'm pretty sure Hannah Watts Park would have one if you're hunting one down.

This was at Yarraville Shopping Centre.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 7 points 7 months ago

Yeah. The cars parked there at night ain't playing on the swings.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 7 months ago

you wrote ready for use

the mental image you evoked was that it was in use by one member of the public already

just waiting on another member
