There are 10 billion signs hanging in the office bathroom saying "please do not throw paper towels in the toilets."
Just now, I noticed a new copy hung directly onto the paper towel dispenser where there previously had been nothing.
For the first time in my life, I got the strongest urge to throw a paper towel into a toilet.

HAHAHA I know what you mean! At one of my former jobs, someone put a sign in the copy room saying "Please do not bang your stacks of paper against the counter. People are working."
You might guess exactly what I did after I saw that...
ha ha ha
one of my mottos is, the number of signs and idiots hanging around is directly proportional.
Signs:
I just started a membership at a new health club so I could swim every day. I noticed while I was drying my hair in the vanity area (very aptly named) that right in the middle of the looooong mirror is a sign saying, "Please be careful when walking in heels. They might get caught in the mat." I look down to see that there is a holy mat all over the bathroom floor. And I realize that there's about twenty feet of this mat between the door and that sign.
Oh honestly, that cracked me up
Was this sign hanging at your place of employment (a job that you don't like?) Hmph! I say, clog that bad boy!
I'm betting that you've gotten the secret "I wonder" urges once or twice. You know, like when you're sitting in a movie theater and someone annoying is sitting in front of you and you find yourself thinking, "I wonder what would happen if I just PUNCHED her in the back of the head." And then you smile to yourself and go back to watching the movie...
I'm just guessing you've had one or two of those cross your mind.
"Sign, sign, ev'rywhere a sign!
Blockin' up the scenery breakin' my mind!
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the siiiign?"
CT - way to plan things out, gym.
flutter - me too.
whatever - I think I'll do some paper towel throwin' on my last day. Til then I still need to use it too.
gf - Thanks. Now I'm going to be singing that all day.
i mean, seriously. who is bringing paper towels into the stall with them? or finds that the toilet is sooooo much more convenient for paper towel disposal than the actual wastebaskets?
at one of my old jobs, the bathroom in one building [thankfully not mine] had about a jillion signs "please flush toilet when done".
wtf?
Exactly.
The trash can is directly underneath the paper towel dispenser.
And you shouldn't have to be told to flush.
i think you should PLASTER the bathroom with annoying signs. either all the same "please do not throw paper towels in the toilets", or a variety of equally ridiculous "reminders".
bwaha.
ha ha ha.
That WOULD give me something to do...
And why stick to the bathroom?
I think a better use of paper would be to say... don't pee on the seat. IF you do, please be a big girl and wipe it off.
Ugh. my HUGEST peeve.
I squat.. a lot.
Luckily I haven't had too many problems like that here.
I hate signs that encourage people to be clean. My guess is that if you are an adult with a job who does not already know that it is a bad idea to flush paper towels or pads, or who doesn't understand how gross it is to not wipe the seat after you pee on it, that a sign is not going to get you to do those things. You are just an uncaring asshole.
Incidentally, there are signs all over the bathroom at the city agency I am consulting at that says these things. So you know how I feel about people who work there...
I repeat motto #2.
