Yeah, Well We Got Our Own Problems

You don't even have to know this person to get a kick out of this. Just imagine that the overseer of the breakroom at your work sent this out.

This is a literacy test.
Several of you failed it last year.
Let's try again.

Rinse and place your dirty dishes in the dishwasher.

Several of your co-workers clean up after you daily and ask me why people can't read and understand the sign. I have no answer for them. We work with very intelligent people, and for the life of me, I cannot figure out why some of you can't follow simple instructions.

Yes, it is true that the dishwasher gets full late in the day. However, there is almost always room left in the dishwasher if you will take a couple of seconds to rearrange a few dishes. If there is absolutely no more space, then -- and only then -- it is okay to rinse and leave your dishes in the sink.

Why not view this as a New Year's Resolution? Read (and follow ) the instructions:

Rinse and place your dirty dishes in the dishwasher.

No excuses. Even I can read that line without my glasses.

Jack
