Another one of those, "You think your job is bad".

This happened where I used to work. The person was actually standing up on the toilet seat while going. He was from another culture and for some reason felt that that was the way to use a toilet.

when I was in college I knew someone who shared a private bath dorm room with someone that did the same thing. His roomie was from another culture also.

Yeah, actually that was my first thought when I saw the descriptions of what happened. There are different toilet protocols in different cultures/countries. Maybe there needs to be a memo with directions on how to use a US standard style toilet...

Of course it's people like this, and someone who has a good sense of humor that makes working in my department not all horror stories.

All,

The Fox Reality Printer on the second floor is acting up again…I’m not saying its drugs again…I’m just saying. I have watched that show Intervention on A&E enough to be able to recognize the signs. There has been a drastic increase in “yellow snow” hate signs recently…and oddly enough this printer is out of YELLOW Toner…coincidence…I think not!

Thanks,

Two of my co-workers are retired military (1 Navy and 1 AF) so most of our network devices are named after ships and air vessels, which can make for interesting announcements when you tell people that, for instance, Hornet is being decommissioned and Comet will take its place.

It's fascinating how the Universe works...

I had just gotten back to my desk, and I had stopped to think for a moment about my job, and about our janitor's job. And I realized that while I have my days of frustration and hate the traffic, etc., I think I'm much happier where I am, thank whatever Gods might be listening. Not only does he have to clean up after people far less considerate than I, he gets paid a lot less to do it.

And I'm sure that in some ways, he's thankful he has *his* job. It's all relative.
