The second note is not unreasonable.

The writer of the note is right. Try being curious to others and the planet… It’s not THAT hard to turn off the water after you are finished. If you spill water, clean it. I don’t understand how it gets to the point where notes like this have to be written. Who doesn’t turn off the tap? Damn.

I like the exact description of the blue paper towels, but I’m a little troubled by the fact that they can only be found in “most” of the kitchen areas. So what happens if you spill some water on the floor in the bathroom? You have to go to the kitchen area to get the floor-cleaning blue paper towels? What if you go to one of the kitchen areas that are devoid of the blue paper towels? Then it’s a big hunt to find one of the properly-stocked kitchen areas. In the meantime, someone might slip on the water you left on the floor! It’s a big responsibility. Maybe I would just skip washing my hands to make absolutely sure I wasn’t leaving water on the floor. Then I’d go shake the note-writer’s hand, to thank her for preventing more suspected broken bones.

I still don’t believe it’s water on the floor. I think it’s pee-pee…I’ve heard there are actually folks out there who pee on the floor on purpose, then hope that someone slips, falls, and gets injured in their pee!

Talea: “Um, dudes, how hard is it to turn off a frigginâ€™ tap?”

Evidently it takes an “enormous amount of effort”…

White Rabbit…you don’t know. Maybe it went from a “current” shortage to “OMG IT’S CHRONIC!” in the seconds it took to write those few lines. See, we NEED these signs to keep us informed of our impact on the environment on a second to second basis!

The next one will say…”Are you happy now?!!? We have a water holocaust on our hands!”

That said…boo signs.

I particularly like the statement that “currently” there’s a water shortage, as if it’s a temporary thing, but then the sentence turns around and refers to it as “chronic”! You should always have someone else check these things over.

I love this person. I seem to be in the minority, but I think she raises a great point. We’re running out of water, we need that to survive. Um, dudes, how hard is it to turn off a friggin’ tap?

kai- you’re funny!
fraulein- i agree, why not fix the problem? but then, there would be no ‘danger’ signs to post.
and then what would i do when i’m bored at work? i wouldn’t be able to make fun of the signs. i would have to *gasp* WORK!

Don’t they have lawyers in the UK? Here in the US everyone is so litigious that a company would never dare to leave the mopping up to the employees. Common US parlance in this case would be “that’s a lawsuit waiting to happen!”

Exactly, IJ! Leading to my own (in thought only) PA note: “If you won’t sit down, at least clean up!”
