Can't see a problem with someone blowing their nose and spitting in the basin as long as they rinse it out. It's no grosser than someone taking a dump 6" away.

Blowing your nose that way is actually quite effective when you've a cold...

In one clientco trap (well, first ever job, 1979...) someone had written something in small letters at the very bottom of the trap door.

I leant forward to read it and it said...

'You are now shiiting at 45 degrees'

FTFY

Probably misheard someone saying they could 'defect' into the fields.

I wouldn't hold it against you if it was number two on your list though.

Ah, that brings back memories. I could tell you stories about Germans and their scatological habits but I'll leave that to everyone's imagination...
