There's been a bunch of little stuff around the office that drives me nuts! Finally smuggled a camera in to document for the world:

1: I look at this whenever I have to use the stall. My (former) boss typed it! He's one of those idiots who thinks a $40 home depot water saver toilet is just as bad as a real name brand one and there's no hope and those darn greenies are to blame etc.

2: In the kitchen is this demotivating label.

3: But wait, there's a workaround...

4: Pull the drawer and the world is your oyster!

My boss whipped out his thermal labelmaker telling us to be careful pulling the paper towel lever or it'll jam...

There's a diagram inside the dispenser (lock picks real easy) about how to properly load towels. We had a series of janitors who would not load back around the rear spring loaded pulley! We see, below, that the towels are loaded correctly. I used to pick the lock when the towels jammed and reroute the paper properly.

We had a big coffee maker that was all plumbed into the cold water, and packets of coffee that made a ~10 cup thermos. This was abandoned in place and someone got a $9 walmart drip coffee maker to take its place.

wow your boss must've been busy to have time to think that khrap up. who flushes while they're on the throne? you'll get backwash all over your cheeks.
 
"You're cooperation?"

He's lucky he doesn't employ me. I'd edit his notes with red pen.
 
As to the first pic, ours flushed a US Gallon on heavy duty...6 YO daughter hasn't blocked it with a half roll of toilet paper...

I've blocked it cleaning the hair brushes (lots of long hair in the family)
 
I think the appropriate reaction would be to supplement his signs.

These supplies are not for everyday employee use. "Use by super-everyday employees, or on every twelfth day that ends in "..day" with an even number is OK".

Please flush at intervals... Please document your flushes in the attached Log Book (

My wife had a boss that wrote trivial memos - how to address him ("My name is Casey, but friends call me Irv"), and the proper usage of paper and binder clips. A decade after his retirement it is still joked about.
 
I like the high quality of the signage, the careful use of tape is a nice touch

My janitors could figure out how to load the exact same Bobrick junk towel dispensers. The towels always jammed up. Finally got new ones that a chimp could load, no problems since.
 
Boss mentioned his daughter's college had the exact same printed labels on their towel dispensers... as if somehow vindicating his idiot janitor.
 
The saddest one is the last. Those big commercial pour-over coffee makers actually make really good coffee, assuming you give them good beans of course. The [censored] thing next to it couldn't make coffee no matter how much you spend on beans.

How about "if management is using this toilet, you are full of sh*t so please flush several times."
