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.

Well that was a twist!

[-] 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

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

[-] bull@aussie.zone 4 points 7 months ago

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.

Seemed rude not to.

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

[-] Eagle@aussie.zone 6 points 7 months ago

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

[-] bull@aussie.zone 4 points 7 months ago

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.
