Anybody who works in an office has seen this message on the toilet stall door. Whenever I read it, the smart-ass in me wants to know which other path I would take to exit the room? Have people been tunneling out of the bathrooms? Was I going to dive into the pipes and swim to another floor?
Needless to say, today I was taking a shit at work, and my mind wandered off a little. After I considered a few exit strategies, I decided that in reality, something had happened to prompt these signs. I stopped short of imagining exactly what messes might have led the administrative assistants to print these off. In a professional work place you'd think people would have the decency, the common sense, the competence, to clean up after themselves.
Eventually, I began to hope that instead of some fecal mess being the cause of these messages, that people were really fucking with the restrooms; maybe the mailroom guy was removing toilet seats, or the intern had rearranged the partitions so he had more space. Redecortating, remodeling.
Give a hoot, keep your local restrooms clean.
