Imagine this: You’re about to pen a note to post in the office men’s room, but you’re torn — should you go for the patronizing approach, or opt for some sarcastic reverse psychology?
At Colin’s office in London, the note-writer apparently decided: ¿Por qué no los dos?

Oh sure, use of the refuse container is free for now, but what about next week? Don’t want to get into the habit of using it only to find that, in a month- hell, even in a week- there will be a service charge.

Sounds like there are a whole lot of men who suck at successfully making a basket and also suck at getting the rebound. Is it the shame of their lack of basketball skills that makes them try to pretend their paper ball no longer exists?

Imagine there’s no litter,
It’s all put in the bin,
No random bits of paper,
A men’s room made of win.

This sounds like one of those restrooms where the door opens inward so people who don’t want to touch a dirty doorknob must use a towel, then toss it in the general direction of the
refuse resourcetrashcan.Not that I want to start that argument again . . .

I think all those little pieces of paper should just build up, kinda like the sawdust they use on the floor of a backwoods roadhouse.

If this tp is anything like the tp at my work, there are little bits all over the floor because the paper is so thin and flimsy yet the roll itself so heavy that often, when you grab onto it, all you get is a tiny useless shred that falls from your hand. A problem easily solved by buying toilet paper that isn’t 1-ply and doesn’t feel as though it’s made out of fibreglass and used Kleenex, but try telling that to the management.

I can think of worse things to find on the floor than paper.

Some TP on the floor? Meh.
We have men who use the ladies’ room and somehow get a drop on the edge of the toilet. Not once, not twice, but many, many times. Nothing makes your day like almost getting someone else’s urine on the back of your pants. I don’t care if they use the room, but not cleaning up? Ew. I think I know who the main culprit is, and he’s in for an awkward conversation next time I catch him coming out of the bathroom.

Reverse psychology or direct appeal to guilt/shame: Doesn’t the author realize that neither of these approaches works with the men’s room audience?

I don’t see the problem here. Considering peoples’ bathroom habits, this will act like a diaper for the floor.

Get rid of the toilet paper and install bidet toilet seats.

The people for whom the note was intended don’t care, won’t care, will never care. And a note won’t change that.

Men who can’t manage to hit a hole. This explains the number of dis-satisfied women in the vicinity.
Granted, I’m betting the women’s bathroom is at least as bad..
