Nightmarish scenes (Picture: Getty)

We’ve all been there.

But our fist instinct isn’t to tell the world about it.

Adam was relieving himself on a Virgin Trains toilet when a nightmarish predicament crept up on him – no loo roll.


But instead of embracing the shuffle-of-shame to the nearest cubicle, he tweeted Richard Branson’s rail firm.

I've just had a reasonably large poo and there is no toilet roll left on the @virgintrains 19.30 train from Euston to Glasgow pls send help. — Adam (@AdamPlaysYT) December 2, 2014

And the response was unexpected.

Adam, from Lancaster, had to get off the toilet in order to check the carriage number.

The teen told the Mirror he saw a guy ‘looking quite worried in a full black suit carrying toilet roll’.

He explained: ‘After the awkward exchange and smiles, I grabbed it off him and finished what I started.



‘Afterwards I just sort of left the loo roll on the side and I presume he went in after the smell cleared and attached it properly to the dispenser!’

@AdamPlaysYT Maybe bring some loo roll. Just in case… ^CB — Virgin Trains (@VirginTrains) December 3, 2014
