Lets say we use an average of 15 minutes for a person to go to the toilet. This includes getting to and from the toilet etc. For ease of calculation we say that each person goes to the toilet twice during a workday. And there are roughly 7 billion people on the planet. That gives us 0.5 hour per person per day * 7 billion people = 3.5 billion wasted hours. At a conservative estimate of $10 per hours, that's $35 billion per year. This does not include money wasted on water for flushing and washing hands! It's clear from this that we have to stop people from going to the toilet during work hours... </sarcasm>
