WAR has been declared
On toilet seat covers that is.
Or at least on how and when to use them.
The "Ladies" room on my office floor is used frequently. This probably has something to do with the fact there's only a handful of men and about 40 women who work on this floor.
Recently there's been a flurry of signage being posted on the restroom (well a "flurry" being that the only other time was when a note was stuck to the can of disinfectant).
About 6 weeks ago someone posted this sign on the toilet seat cover dispenser:
If you use a toilet seat cover, would you please remove it after use for those of us coming after you. Thank you.
Now, I've never noticed that this was an issue...but someone must have been pissed off by someone one too many times and in their self-righteous fury wrote a note to the anonymous toilet-seat-cover-leaver-behind. I really didn't think much about it except when I noticed that all of a sudden there was ALWAYS a toilet seat cover left behind. Someone was deliberately leaving them behind JUST to piss the person off...which happens when someone tries to enforce stupid "rules" on a populace who just doesn't give a fuck.
Whatever. Made me giggle.
About 3 weeks ago a new sign was posted. This time on the door INSIDE the stall.
If you do not use a toilet seat cover, and do not sit down, please lift the toilet seat, so that the next person doesn't have to wipe it off. --Thank you.
Again, never noticed this was a problem. And all it did was cause people to pissed off that someone felt the need to issue "rules" to all us "idiots" because in their eyes we haven't mastered the art of peeing INTO a public toilet.
But the weird thing is the sign was only posted in one stall and not the other (I hate the other stall because my legs dangle and who likes to have their legs dangle when they pee?!?). Does this mean there's a random person going to just that one stall and peeing all over the seat before leaving??
I just seriously can't comprehend someone caring so much about this that they would take time out of work to write up signs and post them.
I know you are now wondering if I do use a toilet seat cover or not...

I'm impressed: normally women only talk about people leaving the seat up.

I wouldn't consider it as enforcing or setting rules just common decency. Is this how they would behave at home?
I once posted a note:
Please do not pee on the seat.
Wipe it up, or sit on a sheet.
