Things that make you go hmmmm
I was in a bathroom in a restaurant in Canada. Big sign on the mirror stating all employees must wash their hands before returning to work (gee thanks.... I feel much better knowing you need to remind your employees of that?!?!?!).
The bathroom itself was apparently designed to be relatively sanitary. Touch-free automatic flushers. Automatic water. Automatic soap dispenser. Even the automatic paper-towel dispenser!!
Only catch? To get out of the bathroom, you have to pull the door towards you. Meaning you just got a handful of all those people who DIDN'T wash their hands afterwards.
And for those of you (like me) who use a paper towel on the handle? No trash can anywhere near to drop it into.
I don't get it.
I also don't get the commercials I see for souvenir coins on TV. You know the ones - struck in real Liberian dollars! The $20 9/11 version we just saw "normally sells to collectors for $39.95, but can be yours today at the face value of only $20! Limit 5 per collector."
Which leads me to ask..... if I can have it at face value, shouldn't that be in Liberian dollars? Checking today's exchange rate, $20 Liberian dollars is worth approximate 31.5 US cents............. If I send them face value, think they'll send me a coin?

That is so true and it sounds just like my campus. They are all sanitary until you have to walk out of the bathroom. I think to myself what is the point as I toss the paper towel on the floor. Eventually they realized I wasn't the only one doing this and they moved it closer to the door. Problem solved. Though I am not suggesting we all toss our trash on the ground. I did it to make a point since I pay a ginormous tuition and well it worked. I wouldn't haven't continued (I guess.
