To put a sign up at work

[Notmymug]

Telling my colleagues to load the fucking dishwasher properly

What’s wrong with people?

Just wash your own stuff at the sink like adults.

Oh yeah - I forgot - posh bosses can’t do that! Office life really is shit isn’t it?

I have heard people proudly confirming that no, they would never do that at home, but at work they can because that's what the cleaners are paid for..

In my office, cleaners tidy up the kitchen several times a day! It's shocking. I stick with Starbucks.

At my old work nobody would empty the dishwasher, they'd just stack their dirty stuff on top of the clean(ish) things already in there.

Sod the mugs, that's my dishwasher!

What are you all doing in my kitchen?

Our work kitchen has staff in it which do the washing up etc it’s fucking amazing.

Oh, though I do love a PA sign, they give me thrills.

Are people misspelling heave?

If I worked as a cleaner in a place where I was expected to clean up lazy dirty f*ers mess and do their personal washing up, there'd probably be a lot of smashed mugs, totally by accident of course..."opps butterfingers!"

It doesn't matter where you are, unless cleaning the tea bar / loading dish washer / wiping up spills is in someone's job description, EVERYONE assumes someone else will do it and leaves a right mess behind them that I'm sure most wouldn't dream of leaving at home (there any be that many slovenly arses around!!)!! Drives me mad! And this is across a wide selection of people / places - school staff room, national training courses for SAR people, local training courses, crew at kids / family / folk festivals / shelter - it's totally universal and does my head in! Mind you, I've taken to throwing a cloth and spray cleaner at next person that comes in if Ive cleaned it recently (not part of my job description but I can pull rank and insist they do it!) and come back to find it a mess yet again! Aaarrrrgggghhhhhh!

Our boss threw out all mugs plates and cutlery and replaced with disposable cups plates and cutlery (there’s over 1000 people in the building) and very large rubbish bins

Loving that here are so many of you on here from the same workplace (although you could be winding the OP up of course )

I wouldn't restack it or leave notes. I'd close it and wash it just like that. Wash one by hand for yourself.
When people start taking dirty mugs out the cupboard and complaining then you can explain smugly that if they don't stack properly they'll continue to get dirty crockery.

I was going to buy myself that little brown cow mug, but sadly, it has been discontinued.

allthedogs i am going to take you wise advice, keep my nice clean mug under guard and just shrug nonchalantly at complaints about the dishwasher not working properly

'Your mother doesn't work here.'

'No, she's got a PhD and wouldn't be seen within a mile of the place. Can we dispense with the sexist bollocks, please?'

My thoughts exactly.

I asked a colleague 'Do you have servants at home?' and he said 'Yes'.
It isn't unusual in some countries.

I work in a school and we have a dishwasher for staff. Teachers either leave their cups/breakfast bowls/lunch dishes, manky spoons sitting on the worktop,above the dishwasher, waiting for the fairies (that's me as I'm so far beneath them as I'm 'admin') to put it all in the dishwasher! Bugger that for a game of soldiers. I now take in my own mug and spoon each day and take it home with me each night. I refuse to fill or empty the dishwasher now.

We don't even have a dishwasher at my work!

At my place, the teaspoons are so bad, it looks like they've been used for substance abuse. I've thrown some in the bin. Some people actually leave mugs with dregs in for days

I'll have a look out for an Easter Egg mug this year then! I hadn't seen one in so long I thought they'd gone out of fashion.

Those mugs look very familiar!!!!

"Signs are PA" - yes, they are, but we have over 200 staff in our building, at least a quarter of whom seem to think that someone else will/should pick up after them. Are we supposed to just get on with it and either clear up after them or let the already overworked cleaner be treated like a dogsbody? Or do we hang around the kitchen in order to tell each person off? (Note - I've never put up a sign here, we get PA emails instead. But I'd like to kick a few of the worst offenders up the arse).

Icequeen, same here, teachers leave such a mess behind them at break times, I had a rant about it to the principal one day and he must've had a word, the kitchen was tidied up for about a week but has reverted to a pigsty. The worst is when someone actually takes a clean mug and spoon out of the dishwasher and then closes the dishwasher!! Myself and the teaching assistants (we all take our breaks earlier than the teachers) decided today that we will just clean up after ourselves from now on. I don't mind stacking or emptying the dishwasher or wiping down the counter but it's not fair that it's expected and to leave a mess like that for the cleaners is just downright disrespectful. We are all grown ups ffs.

Trills I mean, they probably have gone out of fashion but I still love mine ! And you can deffo still get them.

Tesco,Waitrose,Asda all sell Easter eggs with the cup.love it
Buy them for the kids annually
