The Big Bang Theory fans call out plot hole with Sheldon Cooper’s Cheesecake Factory toilet scene
THE Big Bang Theory fans have sniffed out a potential bathroom blunder courtesy of Sheldon Cooper.
Viewers of the hit series have been re-watching episodes of the comedy after it tied up for good last year.
As such, one Big Bang Theory fan glued to episode The Wiggly Finger Catalyst, featured in season five, has called out actor Jim Parson's character trip for leaving his toilet trip to chance.
He heads to the infamous Cheesecake Factory with the rest of his science-mad pals and armed with a pair of dice, which are set to determine his acts for the day.
He believes leaving everything to chance, with a roll of the dice, will help free up important mental space for key decision making.
This even includes whether he will make a trip to the toilet at the eatery.
Sheldon mused: '“Papa needs to void his bladder," before, after the outcome was revealed, realising this would not be possible in accordance with his new life rules.
Yet a fan on Reddit mused why he even contemplated using a public loo at all.
They wrote on a Big Bang Theory forum: "I don’t know if this has been posted before, but this mistake is about the phrase 'Don’t defecate where you eat'.
“Somewhere around the Change Constant, Sheldon reveals that he always took the phrase literally and has never used the toilet in any restaurant.

“However, in the episode where Sheldon uses the dice to determine his decision (gold digger Emily episode), Sheldon rolled the dice when he wanted to go to the toilet IN the Cheesecake Factory.
“This shows that Sheldon has used the restroom in the Cheesecake Factory before.
"So saying that he took it literally was a mistake.”
Meanwhile, after 12 years on the hit CBS sitcom, actor Jim Parsons' latest TV project has been revealed, on Netflix show Boys In The Band.
