Pristine’s usually the word I first associate with bathroom/toilet. But if the note-leaver really meant it, he or she’d have some gloves and a bottle of 409 conspiciously displayed on top of the towel dispenser.

That is THE SHINIEST, nee, PRISTINEST (not a word…?) paper towel dispenser I have EVER seen in a public restroom facility.
Dang, my retinas hurt looking at it!

This evening, the paper towels from that very dispenser, thanks to some overzealous teenagers,were emptied out all over the bathroom, including into the toilet.
It’s really going to hit the fan at work tomorrow!

#12 the sincerest form of passive-aggression
[...] laura in boston says one of the restrooms at her school is a real note bonanza. the inside of the stall features no fewer than four individual notes about proper flushing etiquette, and immediately outside the restroom are two (slightly contradictory notes) about proper door opening/closing. but what’s most interesting? how a couple of those notes look awfully familiar… [...]
