“these are the results of your typical no-one-washes-their-dishes-at-the-office situation,” says our submitter in portland, oregon.
“there used to be a note above the sink that said “NOT YOUR MAMA,” but it was replaced with these gems, both of which sort of creep me out (and neither of which has ameliorated the dirty dish issue).”

Oh lordy. That first one smacks of “I think my grandchildren are the cutest things in the world no matter what and SO SHOULD YOU”. Prime suspect: Bluehair with the obnoxiously large pictures of 2 rotten grandkids hanging from oversize keychain with 473 keys.

Yeah, haven’t we always wished for a cop where we knew we could kick his ass? This kid better have mace.

Does this company employ small children? No wonder they don’t do their dishes. I’m guessing it’s a Nike factory in Indonesia.

The picture is a little unclear. Is the woman spanking the child or waving away her fart?

Does anyone else think that first note is shaped like a penis?

Another example of younger workers pricing older folks out of the labor market.

Mom: “Like this, Dear?”
Girl: “No, Mommy. Uncle Chester puts his hand inside my pants!”

I am not getting this dish situation. How many fucking dishes are there? Why does this woman feel the need to clean up after princess? Move them out of the way and get on with it already.
Also, I think the kid in the SS uniform probably has something to do with the silverware genocide…

you suck at craigslist
The second cartoon has had the original dialog whited out and replaced with the current nonsensical dialog … the original cartoon can be seen here:
http://www.cartoonstock.com/lowres/epa0436l.jpg
Which means that this person actually had to look for a cartoon of someone being punished/spanked and then change the dialog. Creepy. Very creepy.
Even better, it looks like that might be the place the person got it from, and they whited out the copyright/reproduction notice on the top left as well.

Maybe it's inbreeding?
With the kid’s head screwed on backwards like that, it’s no wonder she knocked over the lamp. Jussayin’.

Two notes to cover everyone in the office - those who fear Nazi children and those who fear their mother.

If they really wanted to intimidate people into doing their dishes they would’ve given that Hitler Youth there a gun. I mean, some kid without a gun? Not scary at all. A young child with poor motor skills and an undeveloped prefrontal cortex? Well, I think I just crapped myself.

That first picture was taken from a copy of “How To Raise A Serial Killer”.
Children given too much authority too early develop dominance issues.

It’s a little known fact that the Maytag Man’s first job was the Office Dish Police.

The second picture disturbs me. I don’t think that shit is suitable for the workplace.

I think I’d be breaking more than lampshades if I had to get up and go to work everyday with a psychopathic matriarch hellbent on child abusing. I’m guessing this wasn’t put up in the kitchen of the Dep of Child protection.

I am thoroughly disturbed by the second picture.
I would not want to work with someone who was even remotely amused by posting that. I would be looking over my shoulder and posting motion detectors in my cube.
