Signs of Change

Last week, new signs were put up in the restrooms at work.  I am not entirely certain why grown adults need to be told to wash their hands in a method befitting 3rd graders, but I did not question it.  I wash my hands anyway and just ignored the signs.

Today, somebody put new signs up over the existing ones...

Somebody switched the signs

The fright­en­ing thing is, this means one of your co-workers smelled strongly enough of ass to prompt some­one to cre­ate and post the new signs.

@Gupfee: I think the ori­gins are a lit­tle more benign.  Imme­di­ately after the “wash your hands” signs went up, a group of us was hav­ing lunch and talk­ing about how child­ish it was to have those signs up in a build­ing full of respon­si­ble adults (some of whom are carpet-floor office work­ers and some of whom are epoxy-floor engi­neer­ing and man­u­fac­tur­ing peo­ple who deal with nasty enough chem­i­cals that they wash their hands both before and after using the restroom.)

In jok­ing about how insult­ing the signs felt, one of us sar­cas­ti­cally asked if “be sure to wipe your ass” signs would be next.  And–a few days later, for a few hours until they got torn down–they were!
