I really start to wonder if it's a class thing. Blue collar, working class (retail, for instance) seems to have basic things like this down pat. Clean up after yourself, don't make things more difficult for the next person, etc.
White collar (office workers) seem to be the opposite... make more messes because their mentality seems to scream 'someone else is going to clean up anyway so why bother being neat or clean'. I can't stand that kind of behavior.
If there is a single trait I CANNOT STAND with humans it's entitlement/snobbery.
Yeah, I've seen some nasty messes in office building bathrooms. My guess is that certain disgruntled employees are careless on purpose out of some passive-aggressive sense of retaliation against their employer. Well, guess what, it's just making things harder for the cleaning staff who didn't do anything to you at all and are only trying to do their jobs.

It's lazy of them to only quote government agencies, which aren't exactly unbiased. They may have spread their resources too thin if the show was dealing with many types of flora and fauna, and just turned to the most convenient sources of info. Also, documentaries aren't held to the same standard of 'objectivity' that's expected of news (of course, news reporting often falls short of that ideal), as they are often advocacy pieces. But it shouldn't be too much to expect some accuracy.It's constant out here in AZ, every time they finish work on one street, they start more a few streets over, and by the time they're done with that one, they go back to the first street to do something else.
Think of it this way, next he does something to piss you off, you've got something to use against him.
PBS aired a show about invasive species and included a segment on Mustangs, and it was all lies and misinformation. They only talked the BLM's side of things, and didn't address any of the opposition to roundups, or the proof people have against all the BLM's claims about what the horses are doing.
They had a woman from the US Geological Survey on who claimed that horses start having babies at a year old, which is not true. At one year they're still practically foals, and fillies are nowhere near big enough or developed enough to have a baby. They also talked about how horses evolved in America and then spread out and dead off here, but didn't bother to address the fact that they've started to find evidence that horses never actually died out here.
I was really hoping they'd hoping they'd talk to or about some of the advocacy groups or sanctuaries, but there was absolutely no mention of any of that.
Wild Spirit Foundation, the advocacy group started by the woman who directed the Disney+ Black Beauty movie even contacted PBS about the inaccuracies in it, and they did absolutely nothing about it and still aired it.

I mean, I'd like to think there is a single aspect to it, but I've done retail, I've done labor, and I've seen it all in the bathrooms.
I'm just...I don't know.
The misinformation is off the charts. Local news is weather, who got shot, and sponsored news. The later is stories as ads. National news is political divided unless you stick to AP or Reuters. I’d rather read fiction.Yup,practically given up on the news now.(Maybe that’s what THEY want you to do.)
The plans are on file in the planning department for public inspection.
BTW, the planning department public inspection room is in a basement, accessible only by a ladder, stored in the bottom drawer of a file cabinet in a closet marked "Beware of Tiger!"
Wait for the weather to get to over 110 and then close the roads for construction.
Time to pull out the DVDs.I have T-Mobile for cell and home internet. They've experienced a cut AT&T fiber late Wednesday evening, so my service is from barely existent to none. No estimate as to when it is going to be repaired.
Also for when the shows get pulled from the streaming services...
Which is like every day these days. I expect piracy to leap again especially with faster bandwidth.
I've admit, I've never used an office building bathroom, but that really surprises. I would have expected places like that to keep their bathrooms pretty spotless.
I wonder if maybe it's a matter of how often they're cleaned. At Wal-Mart and Fry's, the two retail stores I worked at, they had maintenance employees who'd clean the bathrooms multiple times a day, and if someone reported a mess they were usually pretty quick to get them in their to clean it up.
It was an hour long thing focusing on four different "invasive" species, and along with the horses they also did pythons in Florida, carp, and feral pigs in Hawai'i. So they didn't spend a ton of time on the horses, but I also don't think there is anywhere near the amount of controversy and debate over removing those other species as there is for the horses, so it would have been nice if they at least did a little more to acknowledge that there is another side to that debate.
That's a fair point about maintenance people cleaning several times daily at retail stores. As far as I know, the maintenance (in our actual office, anyway... don't know about the rest of the building) is just once a week.
Still doesn't excuse the behavior, though. You're adult men. Act like it.
While we’re on the subject of bathrooms and general overall hygiene, here’s a gripe:
Who’s brainiac idea is it to set the auto paper towel dispensers to a square of paper that’s (maybe) the size of your palm?
I get it - you want to save resources & expenses but seriously… that just means I have to wave my hand endlessly underneath the dang machine until I have a stack of 5-6 ‘towels’ to use.
It’s especially annoying at the gym when trying to get enough paper towels to wipe down/sanitize the treadmills or weight equipment after using it, especially when there’s people waiting to use it after you.

Office bathrooms ? Fortunately I don't have to go in now but what got me is the (usually same culprits) ones who get to work then go do a huge dump stinking out the bathroom and often leaving them in a mess. Just go at home before you come to work.
Collecting a hire car. Why does it take so long to complete the paperwork, they know you are coming and roughly what time, surely they can have it ready especially nowadays.
