Like the angry woman/women who wrote this note, Katie in Lexington, Kentucky works on the third floor of her building — but she’s never noticed any problems with the custodian’s work.
“Sure, sometimes a stall runs out of toilet paper, but within a couple of hours, he has refilled them,” she says. And besides: “I, for one, would prefer that Mario doesn’t hang out all afternoon in the women’s bathroom.” So, notewriter…maybe it’s time to take your massive craps elsewhere, hmm?

Nahhh
No, no, no. A truly PA note would open with an accusation of theft, THEN move on to speculating that it’s simply the janitor failing to replenish paper products in a timely fashion. Following paragraph is to accuse the janitor of theft, THEN threaten to complain to his/her superiors.
Only shitting stars break the mo-o-o-o-o-old.

Well what do they expect? Most men have no idea how to change toilet rolls! They should be praising Mario for being one of the few men out there who have learned this skill. Pat him on the back rather than complain at the amount of time it takes him!

I know a few custodians. And I’m pretty sure that Mario saw the paper on the wall, didn’t bother reading it, and then threw it in the garbage.
Custodians don’t have leprosy; you can actually talk to them if you need to say something.

“Sorry ladies, it’s a long story but basically I ate this giant mushroom, doubled in size and then dodged various hammer throwing turtles, jumping bombs and squeezed through tubes not knowing where I would end up. I did this through 9 different worlds with a brief reprieve only when I found a flower that enabled me to produce fireballs at will to throw at the numerous ghosts, ghouls, walking toadstools, flying fish, octopus, tortoise throwing clouds, and human eating flowers that I came across. Finally through sheer persistance I was able to defeat a giant fire breathing turtle with spikes on its back that had been causing all this trouble. Normally when someone says “Jump!” I ask “How high?” but quite frankly I am so fucking sick of jumping. Seriously, I already have one Princess that needs saving all the time and really don’t need another.”

My mother worked in an office building where the janitor would just walk into the women’s bathroom without knocking. He’d spend half an hour cleaning the entire building and the rest of his shift hanging out with the insurance guys down the hall. So, sometimes you don’t know what you’ve got. Appreciate Mario.

It was always a peeve of mine, when I managed a custodial company, that clients would complain about TP running out of a stall. Especially since just about every restroom has multiple stalls or, if they only have one stall, there are extra rolls nearby.
On top of all that, there is always someone in the office who has access to the keys and can change out the TP if they happen to run out when the custodian isn’t present.
I wish more people were like Katie!

What’s up with people calling toilet paper “bath tissue”? It just strikes me as a somewhat ridiculous way for people to try to forget that they piss and shit while acknowledging they still need toilet paper. DON’T FEAR THE TOILET, YOU PRUDES. EXCRETION WILL ONLY CONTROL YOU IF YOU LET IT.

This lady has a shitty attitude. And probably shitty pants. Given the lack of TP and the lack of paper towels, perhaps shitty hands as well.
At least now one of them can use this note for TP in a pinch.

If that pic was taken in Lexington, then there’s a good chance it was at UK, which is a college, which is a very common venue for toilet paper theft.
But no, it’s all Mario’s fault.

Mario just wants the ladies to remember to use the old copier paper FIRST. Then, and only then, will he start using the NEW toilet paper and hand towels.

I really hope this was not the way they handled it first. I hope first they told him nicely that they are always out of stuff and could he try to check on that more often or leave extras or whatever. Then if nothing is done I could understand leaving a note but not one this bitchy. I would probably instead of leaving a note and asking first go ahead and talk to the supervisor.
I get the feeling that the note was their first act and that is just sad and terrible.

Do you wash you hands after you take a pee?
Than why do you even need toilet paper?

So, she stormed back to her desk, pulled up Word (after posting how really pissed – so to speak- she was at Mario on FB and Twitter), typed her PA note, fiddled with the font, font colors, italicized the red stuff, then borrowed some tape from Sue in the next cubicle, where she undoubtedly griped for 5 minutes about how she’s not taking Mario’s “crap” any more, marched back down the hall, posted her noted, marched back to her desk and fumed for another 10 minutes followed by 15 minutes of indulging in smug satisfaction fantasies because she assumed Mario reads stupid notes posted in the loo. Good thing she doesn’t have any actual WORK to do!

As the authors of the note, we just want to clarify something. We were fine with running out of toilet paper when we had hand towels, it is only that being without BOTH is ruining our pants…

Could you imagine how it would be if THX Sandra worked there? She’d probably have a fit knowing that a man was cleaning up the place where the ladies were doing the things that were special to the ladies in there.
