To the guy who....

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

complained about the uncleanliness of our restrooms, and went so far as to mention the number of flies he'd counted in there:

We're going into fall FFS. Flies are everywhere. Either you're being overly dramatic or you aren't doing what you're supposed to be doing in the bathroom. Irv doesn't want to know. As long as the surfaces are clean and reasonably antiseptic and soap, toilet paper and paper towels are stocked, there's not much I can do in there.

That is all.

[Android Kaeli]

How about the people who complain that the bathrooms are trashed but really the only thing that's really bad is there's no toilet paper? Yeah....

[McGoddess09]

"Why are there so many flies? The brochure said there would only be a few flies. This is a terrible vacation!"

Because beyond spraying the damned things, there is little you can do about them. People are dumb.

[Kristev]

It's disgusting. More and more often, we're called to the bathrooms, and for what? Nothing but one roll of toilet paper or paper towels is out. Trouble is, we run out rather quickly and replacements have sometimes been held back by corporate for up to a week because we're 'costing too much money.'

[bainsidhe]

And then you have the folks who come up to you and whisper that the bathroom is "a little messy". You go in there and *gag* it looks like a human bomb went off. You can't win, I tell ya.

"Why are there so many flies? The brochure said there would only be a few flies. This is a terrible vacation!"

Why are there so many ostriches?

[Eisa]

There can never be too many ostriches.

But yeah. It's gross when there are lots of flies, but nothing you can do about it, so...*shrugs*

At my school, we warn each other about lack of TP with post-it notes on the stall doors.

[Sleepwalker]

Ahh, fly season. Time to buy a new flyswatter and tack a death tally to the schedule board. >:] 17 today.

Navy Pier was notorious for being rife with flies during certain times of the year. Luckily for me, my employer was wise enough to deploy fly strips in the back room. They looked gross, but they did their job quite handily.

I personally like the hand held zappers. They look like tennis rackets and you just swat the the insect and they go ZAP!

BTW, I love Navy Pier! I'm due for another visit.

but if you spray, they will then complain about the bug spray and chemical smell.

If you put up fly strips they will complain about the gross fly strips

If you put us a UV fly trap/zapper they will complain about the ZAPPPPP noise and all of those supposed "dead" flys laying around

'Twas an awesome place back when I worked there five years ago.

[Marmalady]

Oh, it's time for that old joke again!

"I don't like all these flies buzzing around!"
"Well just pick out the ones you do like and I'll kill the rest!"

My MIL had the bright idea to give her two oldest sons (out of three) these rackets as a novelty xmas presents a few years back (all the boys are adults btw) They just looked at each other, then looked at their younger brother

No one was seriously hurt but it was sure an interesting morning!

*hmm..now that I think about it...these would be AMAZING to have for serious SCs!*

[Cazzi]

I got one of the zappers this summer, as soon as I picked it up to deal with a fly, they all went into hiding!
Who told them what it was for?
