So I gathered there was no standing on the seat and squatting to do your business, but not everyone could distinguish what that meant from the looks of things. So back to square one... how do we get the message across? When wet hits the seat the individual gets zapped? Ya, that could work! lol <br /><br />Cheers, have a wonderful day Pearl!darlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04886502544010479581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-70707248233456405012012-04-11T16:11:13.745-07:002012-04-11T16:11:13.745-07:00Ah, I love the way that this post ends.

Sure, I'd neaten up for my fellow workers if they were a little on the slobby side, but I'm not such a neat freak that I'd even consider doing it for a bunch of strangers, like in a Walmart or bus station bathroom. And I definitely bus the dishes and wipe the table when we go out to eat. Nope, I've never been a waitress. Just a mom and grandmom. Come to think of it, same thing.

There are two general exceptions. 1) I will not clean whatever I have delegated to my own children. and 2) Bad knees make me think twice about how thorough I get over picking things up off the floor.<br /><br />Also, I get bent WAY out of shape when I see someone litter.Craver Viihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12882284402568264182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-90576251532149311462012-04-11T13:26:56.630-07:002012-04-11T13:26:56.630-07:00Pearl, that's transplant Minnesotan OCD if I&#...Pearl, that's transplant Minnesotan OCD if I've ever seen it.
