Know why the seat is like that? Certain cultures are afraid to touch their asses to the seat and they squat over it with their feet on the seat. Its a huge problem here in So Cal in the manufacturing industry where a certain race is prevalent.

See it here in TX too. It's also the same people that, afterwards, goes to the sink and immediately cups their hands under the running water and rinses their face and rinsing out their mouth rather than washing their hands first. In fact, I don't see them use soap at all. They just leave after towelling off their face. :crazy: I stay away from the software programming side of the building. Don't want to have to touch the door handles.

They should be taught the proper use of the ass gaskets - ya gotta use 'em in the public restrooms.

Not really a maintenance rant, but definitely facilities related....

Our company has a huge intranet, and it has it's own blogging/social system. Anyone can start a blog and your blogs show up in a frame on the front of the corporate intranet.

The other day I saw something interesting in that frame: "Do we have an official handrail policy?"

My first reaction was, is it April 1st? Then I went and perused this gem of a blog entry. BTW, it was the most active blog of the week in a company with 100,000 employees in all corners of the world.

Basically the person wanted to know if there's a rule that employees must hold handrails on stairs. People posting about ergonomics, video cameras, accident statistics, creating an official policy about having your shoe laces tied (not sure if that one was in jest or not to be honest), catching diseases from handrails, insurance costs, definition of the word "hold," does it mean tightly, loosely, hover your hand over the rail, etc.

Reminded me of ST.N. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I was once verbally reprimanded by a facilities person as he walked by for standing on a 10" tall I-beam flange so I could see out our tall windows. "You need to get down from there, you could get injured." My response "From falling 10 inches? You going to follow me home in case I fall off a curb too. Go to hell." And turned back to the window. He walked away. :lol:

Nothing I hate more than self important facility safety nazis. :thumbsdown:
