Maytag

What is it with people in laundromats? I have some great laundromats in my neighborhood. They are cleaned 2x daily, the machines normally work and if they don't your money is promptly refunded. The people I see there are pretty good too. So my question is ... why do people leave their dryer sheets all over the floor? I mean - they are clean - they are yours - PICK THEM UP AND THROW THEM AWAY! What's so hard to understand about that? Oh - and while you're at it - clean the lint filter.

Be a good scout - leave it cleaner than you found it.

I get really irritated in public bathrooms. How can folks be so disrespectful of others? Here's a few rules I suggest.....

If you drop a piece of toilet tissue - pick it up!
If you must line the seat with tp - throw it away or flush it!
Sit down - that's what a SEAT is for.
If you must perch, hover etc - clean up your sprinkles - you're going to wash your hands anyway -aren't you?
Flush.
Use your paper towel to wipe your puddles off the sink counter.
Throw the paper towel in the trash.
If the paper towels in the trash are piling up - use yours to push them down.
If you drop your paper towel -pick it up- and -throw it away!

If we all made respectful use of the facilities more places would let us use the facilities, we could have paper towels instead of weak winded blowers and we wouldn't have to go to automatic flushers which scare children.

Sun stroke?

Today was an absolutely gorgeous summer day in CNY. The sky was clear, it wasn't too hot and the sun was shining like crazy. Walking past the bus stop I overhear 2 coeds trying to figure out where to find something so I ask if I can help. "Oh thank you", they said," we're trying to find a tanning salon." Oh - well let's see. That big yellow thing in the sky is the sun. If you stay outside, you'll get a tan. FOR FREE.
