At Summer’s office in Austin, there are a few known “soakers” who constantly leave their dirty dishes in their sink. Apparently, the office soothsayer has had about enough of this practice.

P.S. I kinda have a crush on this sign.

I have nothing but love. I also have the urge to call them Team PA-RP in light of the roleplay of awesome, but that says ‘parp’…
Aw hell, GO TEAM PARP! <3

Wow, I wonder if I can reuse this curse?
There are a few folks I’d sure love to see looking over their shoulders for rabid squirrels and mysterious clowns.

The ladies where I work tell me that there is a habitual dish soaker at our workplace. The strange thing is that she soaks them in the bathroom sink. How gross is that? The really odd part is that we have a sink and faucet complete with dish soap on the opposite end of the room.

I’d just tell them I’m throwing their dishes away and follow through. (Although, if I like the Tupperware, I might just keep it for myself — but THAT would be stealing. (:p) )

This is one of the best notes ever. I want to be the notewriter’s drinking buddy.

I posted the sign. I just got sick of people leaving dishes in the sink all the time, to the point the room has a funky smell all the time. Curses on those bastards.

I vote for just throwing away any dishes at the end of the work day that are still left soaking in the sink.

While I may have no interest in impregnating or being impregnated by this sign, I think a nice gilt edged frame encrusted with rhinestones would not be out of place on this one. Flawless. My favorite thus far.

This is awesome. And it is only right. Dish soakers are the worst. Just last week, I was working in my satellite office when I remembered leaving a soaking plate in the sink at my main office the day before. The weekend was upon me, and I didn’t want it soaking for two more days.
I called my coworker there and barely got out “Can you do me a favor?” when she said “I already got it. The plate, right?”
No clowns for me.

That’s why the clowns are following me? It was one dish, three years ago. I got the message when Casey in Human Resources spoke to me. It was driven home after elaine and Thx, Sandra left their batshit crazy notes. Seriously, can we call off the clowns? Please?

What would the curse be for people who put a can of pop in the freezer . . . and then forget? Not that I ever did that. At work.

She should be ecstatic! She works in an office where people bother to soak their dishes instead of leaving them covered in food to collect mold.

Besides the fact that soakers must have no regard for their coworkers, since they think that their dish is more important than everyone else’s need to use the sink (not to mention the precious 1 minute it would take to just wash the dish instead of letting it soak), what I can’t understand is: Do you really want to leave things you eat from in that sink?
I don’t know about most offices, but I’m pretty sure the sinks in mine haven’t been scrubbed since they were installed, ~13 years ago. Plus other people use the sink for heaven knows what while your dish is there, collecting the ickiness–as well as the hate.
