dealing with the rantings of your crazy boss or overzealous receptionist is one thing, but what do you do when your office’s resident passive-aggressive note-leaver doesn’t even work there? casey in san diego (a.k.a. the beloved runbarbara) says that’s the situation she’s found herself in at her job.
the offender, sandra, “has met me a total of twice, both times for less than a minute,” casey says. yet for some reason, when sandra (the aunt of the owner) stops by the office once a week to water the plants and drop off supplies, “she leaves these strange notes EVERYWHERE — and she almost always directs questions about said notes to me,” casey says. “i often have no idea she posts these notes until someone asks me about the odd directions in them.”
below, a tiny sampling of sandra’s delightfully schizophrenic directives. (just click on the photos to enlarge.)
i’d like to think this note was posted immediately following the “potluck”…

Women’s ladies room?
Please tell me this person does not speak English as a first language.

My favorite thing about these notes? The picture of the dentist on the “Throw up” notes. Is she implying that by throwing up they will rot their teeth? I just love it!

Please see Casey in human resources if you need a new “garbage bag”. Please stop putting “throw up” on the potluck list.

Holy F’ing redundant usage of saying the same thing over and over again.
Thank you,
Thx

So, is Casey in Human Resources your full name?
Also, what do you do if your “diarrhea” is a bigger job than your “throw up”? May you then “throw up” in the toilet and “shit” in the garbage can?

“FACILITIES”
“BIG JOBS”

And just exactly what sort of hats do you wear to a Mongolian BBQ? Where are the pictures? I’m going to see Casey in Human Resources about that.

I feel unbelievably sorry for Casey in Human Resources. (In case you missed it, as I did, on first read-through: the submitter of these notes IS Casey in Human Resources.)
Tom @5: Nice.

I’d like to raise a bit of concern at the fact that bathroom cleanliness and pot lucks followed each other so closely into this woman’s stream of consciousness. Somewhere in that connection lies the solution to the “big job” puke sessions - I’m almost sure of it.
To her credit, last time I puked up “Mongolia” ribs, hats and leftover birthday cake, it was a three-bagger episode that I would not subject to any delicate lady toilet so THX Sandra does have a point…

wtf? SCIENTIFICALLY proven? fuck you lady. When I used to work at mcdonald’s I’d pray I’d get the men’s room instead of the Ladie’s room. The ladies room was miles more disgusting.
This person deserves to die.

I just spent 10 minutes trying to a find link to this episode of Oprah I saw a long time ago.
I’ll just have to explain it…
There was this housewife who had bulimia and instead of throwing up in the toilet like the rest of us skinny bitches she threw up in clear trash bags and saved them at the back of her closet for garbage day. Then she would lug them outside and leave them for the garbage man to pick up.
At the time I was so confused, if she really wanted to hide it from her family why not just puke in the toilet and flush.
Now my confusion is no longer… her pipes couldn’t handle the big jobs!
Thank you PAN.

Wow. I assume these are single-person restrooms? The kind where only one person can go in and use it, with the door locked?
Talk about having odd hangups. “Ewww, a GUY took a dump here before me! Guy dumps are nasty! Yet my crap smells like flowers I’m sure…”

I would like to talk to Casey in Human resources about a sexual harrassment issue and also to discuss my 401 (k) but there is a line out the poor girl’s door a mile long, consisiting of people wanting to give her money for the potluck and “women” who need keys for the bathroom!
Yeah! Thx Sandra!! Thx alot!!
