A plumber lost his job after he took a picture of a customer’s dildo and shared it with friends. Awkward.

The worker, who has not been named, spotted the flesh-coloured toy stuck to the wall of a shower while working at a home in Queensland.

After snapping a picture, he shared the image on secret Facebook group, Blokes Advice, which has nearly 200,000 members.

The image was ‘liked’ thousands of times by strangers around the world.


Later that day, the picture emerged on another secret group, Bad Girls Advice.

According to the Adelaide Now, the woman who shared it said: ‘Sorry if this is basic, remove if it is!



‘But my plumber friend just sent me this with the caption, “As a plumber this is my greatest fear”.’

Unfortunately for the plumber, his customer was also in the group.

And, yes, you guessed it, she was not happy.

The following day, a friend of the red-faced plumber posted in the Blokes Advice group.

He said: ‘So who here shared the ‘dildo in the bathroom’ picture with a female yesterday?

‘It ended up on Bad Girls Advice and the owner of said dildo saw it.

‘Long story short end result is the bloke that took the photo is now out a job which is obviously a less than ideal outcome.’

Thousands of men replied to the post with angry comments urging others to stop ‘dogging’ on eachother.

According to Urban Dictionary, ‘dogging’ means talking bad about another person…

However, some commenters questioned whether the story was true, calling the whole thing ‘b*******’.

The plumber then joined in himself (and posted his termination letter).

The letter read: ‘It is with much regret that I must terminate your employment today.

‘Your actions are condemned by me and have put my company in a vulnerable position.

‘As discussed, I know now in hindsight, you regret your actions, but unfortunately they cannot be undone and have caused damage.

‘Let me say, I admire your willingness to accept responsibility and accountability for your actions.

‘You have been an integral part of the success of stage two and I commend you on your work in closing out the project.

‘With only a couple of weeks to go, it would have been good for you to finish it completely.’

The ended the letter with: ‘I thank you for your employ and wish you all the best in the future. Feel free to use me as a reference in future.’

The tradie added that he didn’t blame his boss, saying he ‘didn’t have much choice’ but to fire him.
