Cube farm complaint

[bunglehead]

I swear the toilet paper dispensers here were designed by Satan. I reach for some and I get a ripped piece of toilet paper and confetti on the floor. Of course after that I start digginf for another piece and I can't find the end of the roll. Grrr.....

Can you spare a square?

why are there toilet paper dispensers in your cubes? here, they're in the restroom

[archenemy]

He works in Hell and is not allowed to leave his cube. There is also a big Habitrail water dispenser in is cube. All of these amenities brought to you by Satan--my right hand man.

do you work where I work? I have that exact same problem. frustrates the hell out of me. decent toilet paper dispensers is a cheap way to improve employee moral. but a horrible place to cut costs.

Similar to the barbarians who designed the metal bar in the forest service toilets that is a micron too wide for the rolls of toilet paper, creating a desperate struggle to acquire a mere sheet.

Soon, the two of you will have to share a cube. You can work out the timesharechair schedule later.

Apparently Satan did our plumbing as well.

I'll be washing my hands in warm water, then a woman's toilet will flush somewhere in the same area code, and the water gets hot enough to hard boil an egg.

How the fuck are the womens toilets in any remote way connected to the mens faucets?!

[archenemy]

There is a cheesecloth sieve between them.

[Cobra_Commander]

this is why you should never pee in the shower (it feeds back up into the showerhead)

[archenemy]

How else will I keep the "water" warm?

[Cobra_Commander]

build a really really tall showerhead. by the time the water hits you it will be at appropriate temperature.

I always carry small bills in my wallet, nothing bigger than a fiver.

one of my few beefs about my cube farm involves the knobs on the sinks in the restroom.

 

the men's room near my cube has three sinks. one one of them, the hot turns on clockwise and the cold turns on counter-clockwise...... on another one it's just the opposite...... and on the third one, both knobs turn on counter-clockwise (which is of course the way most sinks all over the goddam world are!) ... or at least should be! .... jeezis h. CHRIST we have some moronic plumbers working in our building..... how hard is it to make ALL THREE SINKS HAVE THE SAME GODDAM KNOB-DIRECTION-CONFIGURATION!?? it doesn't matter which way they turn, but you'd think they could at least make ALL THREE SINKS do the same thing!!

 

 

the other men's rooms in the building also have such inconsistencies.

 

 

on the bright side ... I'm happy to say that this is one of the few minor annoyances about my workplace (besides the bitchy, obese Puerto Rican secretary, and the fact that I can't spray all day).

At work I take a paper clip to the RR with me so can open the dispenser and roll the roll by hand and get the TP I need.

 

If a clip won't work for you and it's truly as bad as you say, I'd keep a roll in my desk drawer and avoid the aggravation of using the dispenser.

use newspaper. there's always an extra sports section in the can.

This is a good example of quality, non-fluff spray. Please use this post as an outline for future posts.

Thank you.

In this scenario you don't even need to leave your desk. Just use a fedex box and put it in coworker's cube. you've got mail.

That could give a whole new meaning to 'spraying while you're at work' vs waiting til you get home.

The dispenser may have nothing to do with your problem. It is the quality of the TP itself. If it was quality TP it wouldn't tear so easily.

That's why the Euros use crepe paper...

MICROWAVE POPCORN! Every time I smell it I open my window to avoid blowing chunks.
