No food in the toilets

We've just moved offices. In the gents loos I found a genuine sign, the wording of which I just had to share. It is a rather amusing example of the wave of bad grammar that seems to be sweeping through the nation. It is worded thusly:

So what have we learned from that? Well I've learned a couple of things.

1. There is apparently no food in the toilets.
2. We are allowed to place food in the sinks, or we may place food in the urinals, but we mustn't put it in both.

 

Cannot even understand why the introduction of that thought process.

By the way, you all know that when you flush the toilet, the toilet will give up a mist to the air that will fall down on anything left in the immediate area.
Food and toilet mist. yummy.

Thats why you don't leave your toothbrush out on top of the sink.
Toothbrush and toilet mist. :thmb:

 

My favourite, many years ago when I was a manager for a retail chainstore I had to visit a big company warehouse to collect something.
Over the clocking-in machine in the entrance/reception area, there was this sign:


"Notice!

The fire alarm will be tested at 9.30am every Monday morning.
Whe you hear the bell, you must ignore it.
If a fire should occur at that time...you will be advised."

I always wondered...how?

 

Well, that's quite obvious.:wink: They'd ring the fire bell to tell you:lollol:

 

And management would run around telling you to ignore the notice telling you to ignore the bell being rung as a practice, and take notice of the bell they`d told you to ignore because there was a fire which was not part of the practice. I think.

 

I just find it amazing that anyone would think about keeping food in the toilets.

 

Yes it is quite odd isn't it. I'd have thought even the least hygienic people would stop short of taking food in the toilets, but obviously the person that had the signs put up must have had their reasons, even if the wording was somewhat poor. Its not even as though the toilets in question are clean by toilets standards. Since we've moved into the new office, several of us (including me) have complained to management that they are unacceptable, and our managers agree, and have been pressing the landlord to get it sorted.

 

Needless to say I don't think you needed to say that, but I suspect you already knew that so needless to say I didn't need to point it out. It goes without saying therefore that this post didn't need to be said:hehe:
