once upon a time, our anonymous submitter informs us, a plucky young fellow who goes by the name “fluffy fox” found his way onto the walls of this underutilized florida dorm shower. as an avid personal hygiene enthusiast, fluffy has always been all too willing to provide grime-infested student bodies with his full rundown of bathroom reminders.
if passive-aggressive notes are good enough for prime time, surely there’s room for fluffy’s bathroom antics in today’s lackluster saturday morning cartoon lineup, no?

Fluffy is a guy? This sounds like my mom! Perhaps a sex change operation is indicated?

I’m surprised that Fluffy didn’t leave another “pro tip” about washing your hands after wiping.

yeewww, that communal washcloth in picture 2 is stiff, maybe from too much nubbin washing…

Sounds like whoever drew this is practicing for her career in Early Childhood Special Education. I wonder if she gives her boyfriends “pro-tips” in other rooms.

WOW…This is very informative stuff here….
I mean by collage I never figured I had to turn on the water in a shower stall.
All theses years no one ever told me that piece of vital information. They should teach that in grade school or at home !
Hey !
I’ve been meaning to ask about the soap since we’re on the subject…
I tried eating it once and it was horrible so I figured it might be for throwing at random people, but thanks for clarifying that one for me. I never would have guessed it.
And really…who calls it a nubbin, anyway ?!?

It took me a good long while to realize what exactly a nubbin was. Dang it, just say naughty bits.
Also, if that happened in my old dorm, it would be called vandalism and would be swiftly taken care of. Although, if he had mentioned, “keep the noise down when you’re rubbin’ your nubbin’ on someone else” I would approve.

Couple of issues here.
First, if this shower is “underutilized”, shouldn’t Fluffy be leaving propaganda elsewhere in the dorm as to WHY it’s such a keen thing to shower? Bonus points for the varied colors, though.
Second, I note a disappointing lack of PA follow-up by dorm residents. No gothic schwastikas, obscene additions to Fluffy’s anatomy, not even a pink penis all by itself.
Kids these days.

I… I would have to kill a bitch. This is just unspeakably cutesy and passive-aggressive.
I have bad suitemates right now, and they hassle me about our bathroom all the damn time. But at least they are outright aggressive. If they crayon’d the bathroom, I’d be going nuclear.

Why the heck are those pictures still there? The fox clearly said to wipe. A lil rubbing alcohol and a paper towel should do it.

Another thing I don’t understand is, why does the sign say to do your laundry in the shower? There’s a time and a place for everything, you silly fox! You don’t wash your dirty laundry in the shower, and you don’t pee into the washing machine! (looks around) wait, you’re not supposed to pee in the shower? oops.

And, in closing, always remember to tip your bathroom attendant, Fluffy! And don’t forget – when you flush with the lid open, you spray Fluffy with fecal mist! Although he probably deserves it, the annoying bastard.

The last note explains it all. Fluffy = Management. Why it is management’s business whether or not one chooses to wipe after using the toilet…. You know, never mind. That’s just disgusting no matter how you spin it.

Long time reader, first time poster –
this is amazing! I work with autistic children and adolescents and have to write signs exactly like this to remind them of how to wash hands/use toilet/shower appropriately…
I think whoever wrote this might work a similar job

This could NOT have been written by a male. I refuse to believe it. Being a man I feel our gender has a few things to be proud of. One of them is that we NEVER write cutesy notes including multiple hearts.

It’s so not fair. I followed the detailed instructions, but the Final Exam asked all these questions that weren’t on the worksheet- we never even covered nubbins in class!

Interestingly enough I wash and wipe with cats. Since they seem to have an aversion to water I find it’s best if you whack their heads on the side of the tub before showering but they hold a nice lather.
As a substitution for toilet paper cats prove to be a very ecological and economical alternative as cats are self cleaning. Also, their faces are ergonomically designed to clean those hard to reach areas.

If someone has already found his way into the shower to read the note, can his personal hygiene really be so poor as to inspire the derision of the notewriter?

Did I remember to wash my bum? Which one? The bag lady with the cats? The legless beggar? The crazy guy taking a dump in the bus stop?
No, I can’t say I washed any of them. I agree they need it, but they don’t seem to be fond of soap.

The late, great George Carlin once said, “if you want to save time, you just need to wash four areas – your mouth, asshole, armpit and crotch. And if you want to save money, use the same brush for all four.”
