Tom from Cambridge, England spotted this notice posted in “the tiniest little toilet in my college hall” — so tiny, he says, there’s “barely enough room to fit a dog in there if you tried.” (But a few raw steaks? Perhaps!)

I’m not really clear on why they are thanking housekeeping for the canine infestation.

Massive canine infestation or not, why the hell do you have food in the bathroom?

I remember when I had a canine infestation. They got all in the walls and the crawl space… I finally had to run the vacuum cleaner for 4 days before they all scrambled out of my house and back into the wild.

I think they are talking about canine teeth. Bathrooms often get overrun with canine teeth. But since reporting of this problem is suppressed by the corrupt, teeth-loving media, we never get to hear about the horrors of marauding canine teeth.

If they have a problem with massive canines on campus, I’d suggest not enrolling werewolves in night-school.

I guess having dogs in the bathroom is the new bidet. The raw steak is to rub around down there in case your big job wasnt appetizing enough.

Due to a massive canine infestation, please keep the toilet lid down at all times. Last time a dog fell in, it took us three days to unclog the toilet. Also, the clogged toilet with a doggy ass sticking out of it completely ruined our dining experience, even when we kept our food covered at all times in this bathroom.

I find the final “THANKYOU HOUSEKEEPING” at the end a little accusatory.
The font is a little shorter, which indicates that it’s only a footnote, but the stout bold type makes me think this was written by someone actually blaming the housekeeping.
My spider senses also tell me the PAN writer has a suspicion that the HOUSEKEEPING may in fact be in cahoots with the offending dog/toilet diner conglomerate.

All this aside, there is nothing more annoying than enjoying a nice lamb kebab on the crapper whilst a slobbering daschund waits at your feet with greedy eyes, waiting for the juicy end bits to get flung on the floor.. I’m seriously thinking of eating my meals on the toilet ALONE from now on.

If the location had not been clarified I would have bet that this note came from my old office. That place was full of fat ugly women who really did eat in the restroom. I’m not kidding…the maintenance guys were in there on a monthly basis to wrestle Twinkies wrappers out of the toilet.

Another sad story of a celebrity hitting rock-bottom. He was the star of his own comic strip, and now he’s hanging out in bathrooms looking for scraps of food and affection? I always wondered what would become of Marmaduke in the end; now I wish I didn’t know.

Mildred knew the news was going to be bad. She should have called a professional in sooner. Everything she tried…sprays, traps, bait…failed, miserably. Not only did they fail but the pests seemed to increase with each feeble attempt to ward them off. What started off as a spooky little Scottish terrier sneaking under the stalls when people were at their most vulnerable exploded into a massive canine infestation. But budgetary issues forced Mildred to seek frugal solutions at the discount store. Before long the Scottish terrier was joined by a beagle, then a Gordon setter joined the mix. Later came a pair of mastiffs and a three-legged melanoise. Mildred kept diligently setting traps but they always came up empty. The last straw was the quintet of Irish wolfhounds that took up quarter in the tub. The sight of those lanky dogs writhing under the dripping faucet was more than she could stand, so Mildred ignored her boss’ direct orders and called a professional.
“It’s really quite simple,” Cesar whispered as he handed her the bill, “you can’t leave uncovered food in the bathroom.”

Sounds like the note-writer may have misidentified that which is being “left out”. I suspect, since this is a bathroom in a college hall, that it’s not uncovered food, but rather rediscovered food. Sort of the opposite of the problem that occured in a previous post.

This is so wrong on so many levels. But just for a bit of enlightenment: Those with normal anatomy will not require the use of a toilet IMMEDIATELY upon consuming food. Do you think these people are keeping their food in the bathroom because some moron pushed their fridge into the street when he was pissed off about his $3 coffee? And just what do you do about a canine infestation? Damn, I bet Stephen King has a novel about that.
