We have a co-ed rr at work and I got livid over the weekend because someone kept peeing all over the place!!! Mostly women were working that day, but a guy or two and a few meandered through from time to time so I could not catch anyone. We are RN's, for petesake!!! Geeeezzzzz..... I finally about lost it when someone had peed all over the toilet seat and left it there. I made a sign Please Use these facilities In a cleanly Manner~~~ Someone wrote later "use your aiming skills, hit the target!" Have been using the public rr down the hall as of late~~~too bad the general pubilc is cleaner than a bunch of nurses... IP: Logged |
