Ha! I finally
First of all, could we get just a little more passive/aggressive? It bugs the hell out of me that people post idiotic things like this in the work place.
Second, does this person have any idea how many people walk out of said "rest"room without washing their hands after "resting"? I'd be far more tolerant of a sign that read:
PLEASE WASH THE FECAL MATTER OFF YOUR HANDS BEFORE GRABBING THE DOOR HANDLE ON YOUR WAY OUT OR SITTING DOWN TO EAT LUNCH AT MY TABLE.
And last but not least, can we please use some other term than "remains"? What? My "remains"? I didn't flush uncle Joe down the toilet! And if I did I would certainly make sure he was ALL the way down before leaving the stall! Maybe something a little more appropriate like:
IF YOU SHIT, MAKE SURE TO SEND EVERY LAST TURD TO THE SEWER TREATMENT PLANT. THEY HAVE FRIENDS THERE WAITING FOR THEM!

Seriously funny. That sign. And your reaction. Thanks for the laugh.
The sign is hilarious and so is your response. It's even funnier that the sign is in the ladies room. Women are just as nasty as men and now there's proof. hahahahahaha ;-)
This gives the movie title "The Remains of The Day" a whole new meaning.
Someone in our office has been using the stall doors as a personal hanky. I really hope it's somebody's kid. What sort of note do you leave for that?
That is too funny. They post signs like that in my office too.
Nilsa, I'm still contemplating writing, "I like to share with my friends" on the bottom of the sign!
Jay, women are FAR nastier than men - don't let them fool you!
Knight, EEEW! A personal hanky? I'm thinking something along the lines of:
DON'T FLICK YOUR BOOGERS, EAT THEM!
Might do the trick!
OMGOSH,
I have one here at work posted on the bathroom door too. Similar. I should post it tomorrow just for you... stay tuned.
this cracked me up today :)
Your alternate sign was certainly a lot more direct :)
Rude bathroom manners are GROSS !
FLUSH, PEOPLE, FLUSH !!! WIPE THE SEAT IF YOU LEFT A DRIP OR THREE. AND THEN WASH YOUR HANDS WITH HOT WATER AND SOAP !
In my old office we had a "Queen of Passive/Agressive Signage".
She was the same one who collected for every freakin' birthday and anniversary.
She put a sign up that said
"If you sprinkle when you tinkle
Please be neat and wipe the seat"
I wrote 'burn in hell' on it in red marker
Aaagh, Dianne, ya beat me to it. "If you sprinkle" is classic verse! Someone graffiti'd that in the bathroom at Hofstra University way back during the Carter Administration -- I never forgot it.
Amazing how some things, uh, stay with you!
/v
Karen, I'm thinking if those who don't dispose of their "remains" don't care enough to do it without a sign, they certainly aren't going to give a shit (pun intended) with a sign.
Jahooni, I find it almost disturbing ...
Loving, don't get me wrong, non-existent restroom manners are a huge pet peeve of mine, but passive/aggressive signage ranks right up there for me too!
Dianne, I'm getting closer and closer to going through with my "I like to share with friends" plan. I'll be sure to post a pic of it if I do!
Volly, some people call things staying with you "constipation" *gigglesnort*
LOL! That's too funny ... mostly because it's real!
But ... why do people not flush? Drives me crazy! I suppose your note, without all the fluff, could be more effective, HA!
I think that you should post the "Wash hands" one right under that sign. Maybe you can get a whole bunch of people posting.
OOooo I got it, it will be like post a secret, bathroom edition! :)
That sign is begging to have a response written on it. Go get my Sharpie! LOL!
We had a bathroom note poster where I used to work, Ha! All it ever did was get all the ladies called into meetings to discuss the problem with the MALE boss.
Yeah, my wife even posted a sign in our bathroom:
HONEY, TO HELP YOUR AIM, STAND A LITTLE CLOSER, ain't as long as you think.
Real life is much funnier. And well, so is fecal matter. Cheers Dana!!
I'm voting for adding a little tagline to the existing sign.
I don't know... sometimes I enjoy a good read while I'm on the bowl.
Drowsey, I tell you real life really is quite funny!
g-man, post secret, bathroom edition *gigglesnort* That would be fun!
RD, I've got a green Sharpie right here - what do you think??
Lu, women really are a strange breed.
Al, HA! Thank goodness that message wasn't posted in the women's restroom!
Matt-Man, fecal matter is always funny!
Kat, any suggestions??
Corky, but it was on the OUTSIDE of the door! It's all about proper product placement!
Oh my God. I like your signs SO much better! Especially the fecal matter part. I'm meticulous about washing my hands and thank goodness I have taught my girls the same.
A male friend was at his girl friends house. They were sitting on the couch holding hands. He let go of her hand, scratched himself beneath his jeans and when he went to grab her hand again she said, "Hey! Don't touch me after your hands have been there. Go wash!" He said, "Whats the big deal, your MOUTH has been there before".
True story, but not about me! LOL
OMG, this made me cry! Thank you!
Bina, why thank you! Maybe I should take on sign making as a secondary career??
Biscuit, I'll take it that it was a good cry!
As an HR person, I can't tell you how many people come to me to complain about the bathroom condition.
I usually say something polite about how janitorial should be called, but I am usually thinking something rude about the person whining.

I have a passive aggressive sign maker at my office. He made one that told us not make him call our mommies.
He also sent an email reminding us of bathroom etiquette and ended with "I like you guys, but I don't want to smell your ass"
Cracks me up everytime I think of it.
