[Michlib-l] MODERATOR INPUT RE: gross question for the collective brain

[Norris, Sonya (MDE)]

Thank you to Lisa for introducing a topic that all libraries face and that is legitimate and needs to be addressed.

Please remember that it is a best practice on Michlib-l to respond directly (and only) to the original poster when a question is asked.

Last month we had repeated incident of someone smearing their feces on the outside of the bowl, underneath, so you smelled it before you saw it….

Okay, am I the only one thinking  "of course a place a place called Colon Township" would have poop incidents?  I can't be the only one...  😉

How about, "For water voiding only." Sorry, you are dealing with this. We had "poop incidents" in the past, and it was just awful. Thank God for Serve Pro.

Subject: [Michlib-l] gross question for the collective brain


Why does the life of a librarian always come down to poop?!  So, we are having an issue with patrons using the urinal for purposes of depositing number 2 lately.  We are trying to come up with wording for a sign.  Has anyone else ever had this issue and/or have some ideas for wording?  I mean you would think this would be a no brainer, but then again, if you are pooping in a urinal, your brain cells are under question.  Sorry for the gross factor, but at least it may give some of you a laugh and a “my day could be a lot worse right now” moment.

Thanks from above the bridge,

Lisa
