Passive aggressive notes

well if you are going to save your sick you might as well get the best bag available

i think that is a little garish.

the fact that half of the writing is always upside-down probably helps the nauseous fulfil their half of the sickbag contract

He looks so happy to have puked into a paper sack.

That expression is "what on earth did I eat to make it taste like that?"

I like that it's a "sick sick bag"

well sick sick bag, innit

world needs a seal-up sickbag marketing itself as a "sick bomb"

or "barf bomb" for north american audience.

many xposts: she was probably hitting on me and I totally missed my chance on a mute lesbian bagger with a dirty bag fetish.
"your bag is dirty"...all time classic pickup line.

dirty pillows etc

Actually I think the Coles store I go to I've seen some signs that say "consider your cashier - make sure your reusable bags are in a useable condition!" or something like that.

Its a bit hard to keep plain calico snow white tho, esp when yr shopping had a jar of sundried tomatoes that leaked tomato oil everywhere on it.

But I mean its not like people are bringing in calico bags full of vomit, or poo (just to get back to that topic again lololol)

exactly! I mean, my bags get scuffed up because of the rubber mat in the back of the car... but we wash them if they get too grotty. maybe the co-op's position is like an adoption agency...they want to interview you to see where you'll store the food, how you'll prepare it...if your receptacles are unsightly then that's the first step to a bad match?

bagger: "Your bag is dirty. We need to ask you a few questions about the conditions you're going to be storing this fruit once you get it home."
snoball: "Well, you know... I thought I'd just... LEAVE IT IN A SECOND HAND DOG BOWL TO ROT UNTIL IT BECOMES COMPOST BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

the sick-bag stickman from the hilarious XKCD comics

xpost to all the poop stories

There was a girl in my high school who shat in a sink in one of the girls bathrooms (at the school during school hours)
This was because she was very rich and snobby and always decked out in furs and subsequently always made fun of for this
and she wanted to prove that she could be some kind of cool rebel.
shitting in a sink did not give her cool rebel status, though
it really just made people think she was fucking crazy.

yeah it might have been easier just not to wear furs

this poor girl who lived in my dorm sophomore year had body image issues that led to overuse of laxatives that led to shit smeared all over the showers and toilet stalls

hindsight is 20 20 (xpost)

Just got a great PA note above the work sink: I humbly beg of you to please not use this sink like a restroom sink: Do not wash arms or blow nose in sink. (or something like that)

One of the OCDs dudes at work likes to wash his arms in the sink. Not sure what the nose-blowing complaint is about tho.

uh-oh, that note is just asking for sink-shitting.

is washing your hands okay? aren't sinks for washing things? wtf people

i don't understand that sign, at all -- i'm confused too. i think there needs more explanation as to what a "work sink" and a "restroom sink" are at yr place of employ?

WTF if you blowed your nose in my work sink I'd fucking hit you

blew. blew your nose. i iz a ingrish major.

schef, there's a break room with a sink, coffee pots, a fridge and other miscellany.

so does the writer of that note use restroom and home sinks to blow his nose in?

that strikes me as weird, as work sinks are usually used for more toxic shit than restroom sinks, unless the work sink is regularly used to "soak things" and the dirt and bodily solids cause problems with that use.

One small irony here is that the work sink used to back up in the mornings, before the person who probably wrote the note was hired. It was truly disgusting. Black muck, everywhere.

was someone putting coffee grounds in it?

No, there was a problem with the building sewer system. They installed a backup-prevention device on the drain, which has prevented the nasty since.

"Blowing-cleaning your nose, washing face and arms can be done in the restroom in the lobby."
OK, I wish I could figure out what this reminds me of. Adam Thirlwell's "Politics", perhaps?

Our office kitchen has one of those cursed "yr mom doesn't work here" notes as well. Worst ever.

If you take a bath at home, you won't have to blow your nose at work!

Is it not traditional to blow one's nose into a tissue? And should security have to deal with employees taking sink baths in the lobby?

maybe he's using a neti pot?

wait, why shouldn't you wash up your arms/hands in a kitchen sink tho? if you've spilled on yourself at lunch do you have to then go to the, um, lobby and clean up?

i'm not addressing the nose blowing thing because that is utterly bizarre, who blows their nose into a sink??

I recommend you post a note humbly requesting that they STOP using the space above the kitchen sink as a bulletin board. Posting of paranoid aspie germaphobe rants can be done in their own cubicle.

wait, why shouldn't you wash up your arms/hands in a kitchen sink tho?

judging from the note I suspect someone (probably male) was washing their hands and face in the sink and while rinsing their face off exhaled through/blew their nose or something. cuz yeah seriously washing your face and hands in a sink = um duh

hard to imagine anyone going to a sink to projectile-spew boogers (which yeah is pretty gross but I guess is possible)

I choose to believe it's the note-writer who's batshit, and that some guy just blows his nose into a tissue in front of the sink and then washes his hands, including the forearms because he's a little bit of a clean freak. Note-writer thinks this is unhygenic for said batshit reasons.

I just don't get the nose-blowing part at all. I have never ever seen someone blowing their nose directly into the sink. People blow their noses on paper towels and the like in the kitchen and do not dispose of these towels in the sink, but in the trash can, as best I can tell. That's perfectly OK, innit? And I see absolutely nothing wrong with washing arms in the kitchen. I'm not gonna escalate, tho, not unless someone suggests a really funny one-liner I can put on a mini-sticky.

XP, I haven't seen combo face-washings/nose-blowings yet, but that's reasonable.

My face feels oily. Perhaps I need to wash it.

Our office kitchen has one of those cursed "yr mom doesn't work here" notes as well. Worst ever.

Oooo I HATE "Your mom doesn't work here" signs because you know what? Even if my mom did work there, it's NOT AUTOMATICALLY HER JOB TO CLEAN UP AFTER PEOPLE.

I have two inappropriate washing at work stories:

1. A clerk at a law firm where I worked washed her hair in the break room sink, although this is apocryphal as it happened before I started there.
2. I came across a guy washing his pants in the water fountain at work one day. I started using the water cooler for drinking water thereafter.

not unless someone suggests a really funny one-liner I can put on a mini-sticky

"does this mean no peeing in the sink either?"

I'm not gonna escalate, tho, not unless someone suggests a really funny one-liner

btw i do blow my nose into the sink at home on occasion - using the hot water to clean off yr nose after is way more effective than a tissue and feels nice if yr all stuffed up
