Dear driver

Dear driver, I realize your probably a good guy. We might have even talked face to face and found each other likable. Even with that there are a few things I would like to say to you as much for my benefit as yours seeing you might never read this.

Dear driver, believe it or not the glass shower door is for retaining water inside the shower stall while the water is running. It is not a bodily support device to be used when changing clothes. If you do happen to get the door pushed in to the point of being stuck please be kind enough to gently work it back to it's normal position.

Dear driver, the towel/clothes hooks are for just that. Next time you remove your towel from the hook try first lifting the towel in an upward motion and then pull it towards your body. Please do not see how fast you can take it off the hook by jerking it downward and out, as far as I know guinness does not have a category for that.

Dear driver, believe it or not the towels provided are for your body. They are not meant to be used as floor mats for your van or cleaning rags for your truck.

Dear driver, I smoke I get the fact some of us are hooked on tobacco but please I beg you if you chew do not spit your last cheek full on the shower floor and if you forget and do please do not leave it for the next person to clean up.

Dear driver, please take a couple minutes and wipe the shower room down after yourself. I think most of us shave is it so hard to rinse your whiskers down the sink when your done. You can use one of those towels your no longer going to use as a floor mat to wipe the water from the floor, counter and inside the shower itself. You might be amazed how well a simple white piece of cloth adsorbs water.

Dear driver, I know this might all sound picky but I'm on a roll so what the heck.

Dear driver, Look behind you after you flush you might want to flush a second time it is a nice little perk available to us here at load one.

Dear driver, The lot is not you personal Michigan speedway. I mean I admire how well you can handle 18 wheels or how fast your van accelerates out of a corner or that great new sports car you have but that person coming the other way around the building might not be just so admiring of the special skills you have developed over many years behind the wheel.

Dear driver, The creek behind the parking lot is not meant as a place to dispose of your urine capture device once it has reached it's fluid retention max level.

Dear driver, I know there are some things I left out and I might do some things that bother you and it never crossed my mind or I was guilty of being lazy that day. If you want to include anything to this list please feel free to do so. Next time we talk I am sure it will be another great conversation but let's keep in mind if it's wrong to do when someone is watching there is a good chance it's wrong to do when you think no one is watching.

Your friend and fellow driver,
Xiggi

i concur, i notice the pee bottle receptacle and couldnt believe my eyes. we to have been on the sloppy seconds end. also you wanna talk about hair, my wife sheds like cousin it, but hopefully you'll never find any after we are done except in the trash.

c'mon people, get it together and clean up after yourselves or go to the admin. office, ask for john, go into his office and slap him in the face. that is exactly what you are doing when you do these things and dont dare let me catch you.

sorry boss, just ridiculous !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great post Xiggi...the sad part is that chances are the "offending" driver(s) probably don't read here on EO.....and if he/she/they do, again the chances of them even thinking this is posted for them, is probably slim and none....they just don't get it....

Dear driver, I want to thank you for leaving your used towel on top the dryer. I realize you most likely read the sign asking us to return the towels to operations. Being the wise and caring person you are I'm sure you thought, if I do that what is the next person going to use to clean up the mess I just left in the shower room. Thanks to your quick thinking I was able to wipe things clean and dry and still have my dry towel to use after I showered.

The people that actually shower and use the facilities care and take pride in what is offered. Whats the harm in that?

Forgot the towel, forgot the water everywhere, forgot the hairs in the sink, forgot the toothpaste on the counter. Yea they just forgot that's all. You weren't even there so now your judging? :rolleyes:

I find it rather convenient to easily "forget" about a mess like that
