Paper towel on the floor....

I swear, every single time I go to use the bathroom at work, there is a paper towel on the floor by the trash can as if someone missed throwing it away. We don't have any leaks and it's only an employee bathroom, not a public restroom, so you'd think people would be more apt to pick up after themselves. I do pick it up every time I see one on the floor, but it's annoying that it happens every time! I don't know if this person who does this is the same person or a few people, if they are always in a rush, or what, but without fail, every single tiem I use the restroom, there is a paper towel on the floor.

we have restrooms for the employees and there are also separate restrooms for the public within the building. i only use the public rooms as i know for sure that they are clean because of the constant roving and cleaning and maintaining the cleanliness by the people in the janitorial service. i sometimes use the employees' only to wash hands or brush my teeth. if ever i notice eye sores, i will tell the nearest person sitting in there that there is that and this, which supposed to be not in there or they should put things in there properly. there are trash bins and they should use it properly. i could also yell at everybody and tell them somebody done this and that, without pinpointing anyone. i guess, they could learn from it, if they have conscience.

Same thing with toilet paper (bathroom tissue) in the public restrooms. Even in the nicest coffee shops, there is sometimes a piece of toilet paper dropped on the floor. I would love to know why people seem to drop it, or how they manage to do so. If they dropped it by accident, why can't they just pick it up, and put it in the toilet, and take out a fresh one?

Maybe it's a new decorating idea? Actually, I guess I'm pretty lucky here. Our bathroom rarely gets messy at all. Sometimes it's a bit too wet around the sink, but most people clean up after that. And I don't recall that I've seen any towels on the floor at all.

Hello my friend Bethany1202 Ji, Well, if administartion is sincere, this can be traced with stingoperation by using some closed CC, and corection could be taught to concerned person, if not adehered with, person should be discsrded as un-fit for Office. Before doing this, a class may be taken to educate them, or even a peonmay be posted to moniter the culprit. I personnaly feel it ia a bad manner. May God bless You and have a great time.

That seems to happen anywhere where there is a paper towel dispenser! You see that quite often in restrooms that a lot of people use. I think that some people use the towel then throw it over their shoulder as they leave! Hoping for the best or simply not caring I suppose.

Yes, it happens here too.. so often in fact it makes me wonder about the state of these people houses.. If you don't have respect for the area you work in (granted, you don't work in the bathroom.. but you know what I mean) than what the heck do you do at home.. ? Do they all have maid service at home? and I know quite a few people could deal with that little bit of exercise they would get by bending over and picking up that paper towel! LOL

These people are just trifling and lazy. They feel it's not their job to clean up so they do their best to f-ck up. They don't care. They won't care until they are reprimanded for it.
