I have to take a moment and laugh at some of the signs I’ve had to place in my office over the years. Some of these seem like common sense to me, but sometimes commons sense isn’t so common. Feel free to add some signs you’ve seen that have made you chuckle!
“Automatic lights. Please do not turn off.”
“Cigarette butts only. Absolutely no garbage.”
“Visitors and trainees: If coffee needs to be made, please see an Office Employee.”
(Who doesn’t know how to make a stinkin’ pot of coffee??)
“Please make sure all white out/correction fluid is completely dry before making any copies.”
“Place face up to copy.”
“Please do not use excessive force when pressing the buttons. Thank you.”
“Place face down when faxing.”
“If [bathroom door is] locked, please wait. Thank you.”
“Please remember to check your food on a regular basis. If you choose to leave food for more than a day mark it with your initials so you do not forget about it. If any food is found to be expired or moldy it will be thrown away along with the container!”
“Please do not put incoming mail into the basket. Basket is for outgoing mail only.”
(This one is in place for our random mail carriers).
“To ensure the functionality of this restroom, please flush after each use. Thank you.”
And my personal favorite as of late:
“Watch out for goose! If you need assistance, please call xxx.”
