Back in the 80's I walked into our office loo to find someone had just deposited a Richard III in a urinal. I was staggered at their ingenuity/short sightedness/dirty protest but legged it quicky in case I came under suspicion. Seeing the IT director assemble his troops and request that the culprit step forward was definately one of the funniest things I've seen in office life.

It's probably just a dirty protest by existing staff concerned about redundancy.Originally posted by PrinceNamor View PostI was thinking of pinning a note up in the toilets asking people to clean up after themselves, perhaps with threats of violence for those that do not comply.
The toilets have got a lot worse of late since the off shore team arrived. Maybe as part of the 'knowledge transfer' we should have a session on using a toilet.Comment

Funny you should say that.Originally posted by Old Greg View PostIt's probably just a dirty protest by existing staff concerned about redundancy.
Clientco I was at the beginning of last year were going through the same. At one office, real new, modern type of place, on the day they sent the notes out some fella pissed all over the floor, walls & smeared his tulip all around the inside of one of the cubicles.
Next day there were notes up in every toilet asking for people to shop the person if they knew who it was and that they had missed the point that the cleaner who had had to clean it up was also up for redundancy.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

The mystery of the urinal turd.

It was most likely a woman, who wandered into the gents by mistake and simply didn't understand the function of a urinal.Originally posted by PrinceNamor View PostThe mystery of the urinal turd. Did the log layer step forward?Comment
