EMPTY CONTAINERS AND OTHER PET PEEVES

Most of us complain when someone ahead of us uses the last sheet of TP in a public restroom. A lot of times there isn't anything we can do about this except complain to the management about keeping extra rolls on hand. By the time we do this the pee is dripping down our legs so it really doesn't matter. But what about when you come upon an empty roll at home? Does it drive you to the moon? Now I live alone so I don't have all those woes and can only blame myself if I forget. That way I don't have the empty milk carton, the empty cereal box, etc. etc.

HOWEVER, I have to say something about those same people out in the working world, among other places. What about if youare in the staff restroom and use the last TP or towels? Can't you either replace them, call a janitor to replace them, or at least warn the next person in???

How about this one? We have a water fountain that has a big bottle on top. Because my hospital won't pay for water, I pay for this myself. I belong to a nice bunch of girls and we have a sunshine fund, so it is covered. Today, like a lot of days, the damn thing was empty. I notice on the days it is empty, the "regulars" don't come in as often. That is because they know darn well it is empty and they don't want to fill it. Now, these bottles are heavy but you only have to lift it a few feet and if I can do it, anyone can. If you can't, don't walk away...ask the first gentleman coming down the hall to help. I've never been refused.

Here is another one. The copier is either jammed or out of paper. What do you do? Well, you could just walk away and pretend you never saw the warning. That is what most people at my office do. I even put up a sign asking to be notified if there is a problem. Either people can't read or are just plain stupid. I have to train myself to "if the copier isn't making noise, something is wrong". What a waste.

This can apply is so many places...it is just plain rude and there is NO other explanation for it. I hope I trained my kids better than this. If I didn't, I know they read this Blog so it is time to learn. Consider the people behind you...don't be like the people I work with.

CHANGE THE ROLL!!!!!
