Thread for tomorrow (12/5/17): Housekeeping signs in your office (e.g. around the printer, kitchen etc)

I’m expecting:

  • Word Art
  • Clip Art
  • liberal use of exclamation marks, underlining, caps lock and bold font
  • handwritten amendments to printed notices.

I have high hopes for this. Don’t let me down. I’ll open this when I get into work tomorrow.

Thread is open!

also have a variety of signs all over the toilets, never knew you needed a sign to tell you not to throw towels on the floor

I used to call myself Kitchen Fairy when doing my I Want To Break Free themed drag act, so I find this pretty dismissive.

Still people don’t get the message and we have to stand up from our desk to close the toilet door all the time.

My own contribution to the genre.

We’ve got three different ones above the sink that all say ‘wash up after yourself’ in minor variations

Work fridge triple

Like the problem of leaving a fridge open is only because the beeping is annoying to people
