What’s employee morale like inside Yahoo’s Sunnyvale headquarters, amid all the chatter about coming layoffs, the possible Microsoft takeover, and everything else? well, according to one anonymous Yahoo! employee, in the toilet would be one place to look.
Says our Yahoo! tipster: “First they took away our right to stand on the toilets. Then they took away our right to surf on the john. But now — they’ve gone too far.”

Hmmmm. I like the approach, but it needs more of those angry smiley faces holding STOP signs.

Please don’t surf in the toilet.
This is Sunnyvale, not the Tidal Basin.
Thanks, Y! News

Do they make surfboards small enough for that kind of thing?
Next it will be “Please do not play guitar in the toilets” Y! Music

Doing a CB here!
It would be understandable if one of the signs read: Please do not download in the U-tube.

Fish in the toilets? That’s an environmental initiative gone TOO FAR. I like my salmon from a proper overmedicated artificial fish farm, not spawning naturally in Yahoo! toilets, thank you very much!

I’m left wondering, what kind of bait would you use for toilet fishing? And what kind of fish would you catch? Crappie?

Jesus. First you can’t take a dump in the shower. Then you can’t vomit in the toilets. Now you can’t surf in the toilets, stand on the toilet seats, OR fish in the toilets. What bathroom right will they take away next? Jumping? The Macarena? Tic-tac-toe?

WTF kind’a toilets are those ?
Is the bathroom the beach or something ?
If that’s the case then,
Hell ya’ no surfing…
I’d be too worried about workman’s comp issues with all the possible Shark attacks.
Can you imagine all the liability claims for jellyfish stings too ?
I’d just say hold it till you get home man…
The bathrooms are closed damnit!!

Judging by what’s NOT forbidden in this particular loo I’m suspicious that this is not from YAHOO HQ at all. Since guy on guy action seems acceptable in here I’m thinking that this might be a men’s room at the Republican National Convention.
I’m not saying Republicans are gay, just don’t talk about Capital Gains tax breaks in the crapper. That could be misconstrued as flirting.

“Do not ask questions in the toilet. Thanks, Yahoo! Answers.”
Now I am convinced that Yahoo! isn’t as fun as it was 10 years ago…
