what kind of objectionable trash do you suppose is being disposed of in these bins? (half-eaten curries? yesterday’s times?) how many hours of company time did the sign’s designer spend on this full-color laminated masterpiece? what is that comma doing there? and how, exactly, how are these bins to be monitored?

Bathroom Monitor Wanted: Must be comfortable with strange smells, sounds, drug use, gay knocking codes and vomiting in urinals. Previous experience as an elementary school hall monitor a plus.

What concerns me more is how someone determined that the feminine hygeine bins were being misused in the first place. I know I don’t go snooping around in those things.

I do not envy the management to whom the misuse is reported.

What I want to know most is what could they possibly be doing with the used feminine products that requires that they be separated from other refuse?
Is there a mad scientist down the block or something? These things aren’t recyclable to my knowledge.

Carol from accounts receivable:
Mr. Billingsley, I was just looking through the feminine hygiene bins in the Ladies Room and found this half eaten bagel.
Mr. Billingsley, Sr. VP, Accounting:
Carol, go wash your hands and then clean out your desk. You’re fired you pervert!

So that’s what a feminine hygiene bin looks like. Fascinating. At first I thought it was a shredder.
Now what would happen if you put …..

Well, when you put the feminine hygiene bins in the men’s room, what do you expect?

The PAN Goddess questions the misplaced comma. Management has more questions about the period, apparently.

So when you dispose of feminine hygiene products, doesn’t that make them trash? So if you can’t put trash in the feminine hygiene product bins, does that mean you can only put unused ones in? I’m confused!

And by “management,” do they mean, Casey in Human Resources? Hasn’t she suffered enough?

Monitoring huh? They must have that new Tampon Recognition Software. It’s pretty cool. Read a recent article on it:
Tampon recognition software attaches numerical values to different features, which can then be checked against a database of existing images. As with fingerprints, a match is assumed when a certain threshold of shared values in the two images has been reached.
Tampon recognition software has been proposed as a potentially useful way to prevent terroristic tampons from making their way unrecognized through airports. However, there are a few major challenges, among them setting up a reference system against which they could be recognized. As security technologist Brook Schneider, points out, “If the biometric is tampon recognition, you can take good pictures of new tampons when they are created and enter them into the system. Evil tampons are unlikely to pose for photo shoots.”
The 9/11 attacks reduced public resistance to biometric techniques such as tampon recognition software in public places, even those where terrorists are no more likely to show up than anyone else, such as football stadiums.

Blood and DNA tests required of everyone upon hiring.
The women, for the monitoring of the feminine hygiene bins.
The men, for the monitoring of the soap dispensers.

If where I work is any indication, some people put used toilet paper in there instead of flushing it.
NEVER a surprise you want when emptying those things.

Aside from the obvious. I shiver at the thought of what is being disposed of that warrants misuse of the bins!!

I love how they changed it from the average “trash-can” to “bins” so that it made less no-sense
