Change Your Seating Habits
FOUND by Clover
in Shedd, OR
When I saw the find from March 14, 2009, I was reminded of this. A sign next to it, written in the same style, said, "If you sit and use our bathroom ~ Please spray freshener, open window, and shut the door. Thank you." There's a deli in the market where delicious sandwiches are served, and the bathroom is located behind the kitchen, so I guess they don't want the bathroom aromas to mix with the corned beef sandwich smells.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...

Worst part? The googly eyes in the word "Look".
Saving grace? No smiley face at the end of the note.
Grammatical oddity: "those of you" indicates more than one culprit, but "your butt" indicates a single perpetrator.
Hey! Clover!
Because keeps on happening, I bet it's an employee, not a customer.
I don't get how this happens. It's not like it's a small target. I'm guessing it's some kind of vindictive behavior.
Passive-aggressive behavior, Feeling. Probably better than defiling the delicious sandwiches, I think
CLOVER!!!!! you rock, sister. congrats on the find. (and i like that it's green)
maybe i'm hyper alert about these things, not wanting to share my bodily fluids or anything with people, but i always wipe the seat if i get anything on it, even splash back from the flush...
How generous of the note writer to refer to people who can't keep their excrement off the toilet seat as "the select few."
Ugh! Corned beef sandwiches! Poo!
(Just kidding.)
(Clover! How do you do it? Keep getting Finds posted, I mean.)
And what about the chaps who leave puddles on the floor? Yeuch. Even in the most superior establishments too.
I totally need a sign like this for my twins.
Only they can't read... dang!
Maybe it's an explosive thing that happens on the way to the seating. You know they could be a regular at this Deli - had a couple ACTIVIA's for breakfast, and then a greasy black pastrami on rye fired down with a large bag of WOW potato chips... and their co-worker could be firing laxatives into the morning coffee Dumb and Dumber style...
In this case probably not a good idea to close the bathroom - the floor/door outside the bathroom might be messy - leading to a problem with the Dept of Health...
a condition i refer to as "Sh*t splatter denial".
Delicious, perhaps, but maybe the deli sandwiches are causing urgent cases of explodo-poop. Barely time for those patrons to make it to the loo, let alone actually AIM as they hover their butts somewhere over the opening...
Clover, Congrats on your Find of the Day! I love your Finder's Blurb. How I wish.. How I wish you were here!
Local supermarkets are required to have a bathroom accessible to customers. Lately I have noticed large "Out of Order" signs which are permanently hung on the doors. It took me awhile to realise they are put there to discourage street people from using the public bathrooms as hangouts, shooting galleries and places to "wash", which usually means leaving basin and floor full of muck (or whatever) and the wastebins overflowing. The toilets work fine, but the signs cut down on shouting matches between the employees and the bums.
I agree it would be easier just to keep the restroom locked and open only to paying customers, but that's the local logic for you.
Yes, Folks, it's POOP WEEK at Found Magazine...!
Does this deli not have a fart fan in the bathroom? Spray some spray, open the window, and leave the door closed? Yeah. That's gonna help.
and for christ's sake, throw your damn needles in the biohazards bin, wash your blood off of the sink, and spray some freshener if you're going to free base; it smells like melting bottles!
Not that I've tried it, of course, but sitting down facing the wall might make it difficult to position everything off the seat.
Maybe the folks using this note-writer's toilet just need some basic instruction, starting with which way to face, toward the wall or away from the wall.
Umm..stay away from those olestra chips and you will be fine.
idwest farmers' daughters really make you feel alrigh
Good on you Clover, for getting 'published'... but what is this? You leave, but leave your Founds here???
I'm with Chrome -- wish you were here!!
(yeah I know grammar nazis, it's "en" thusias...)
I found the March 14 Found referred to above....
http://www.foundmagazine.com/find/11631
in case anybody's interested.
Oh.. you CAN find a Found by date. I had never had success with that before...
Somehow I also came up with this related post, from March 12.. go figger!!
http://www.foundmagazine.com/find/1173
Umm...Ew.
Thank you finder, but I didn't need that extra little info about the deli, kitchen, and corned beef. Thanks for the image.
we've got nothing
It's true!
There are some idiots out their who don't understand the concept of pooping INSIDE the pot! I used to work at a store where I had seen some pretty messy situations and they were not kids. I'm talking crap all over the floor and wiped on the walls. Yes, they made it in the stall, but did they really think the toilet was just for decoration?
Maybe the people who frequent this Deli, are the ones who also took a crap on the coats ( http://www.foundmagazine.com/find/11993 ).
And -- how does that go?
The river is right over there...
or something like that
and didn't someone do this in the dryer -- enough that a sign had to be posted?
Or was that a -- dream? (nightmare?)
And it showed up in "my gosh that was me"??
Camelia, I know the Find of which you speak! But I'll be damned if I can Find it with the search function! Here's what it said, anyway:
"Please Lock This Door. It will prevent unauthorised people from entering the building and defecating in the washing machine. Many thanks."
Here's a link to a great little article/interview with the inimitable (and absolutely adorable) Peter Rothbart. I really like his take on Fake Finds. Go Peter. You're awesome!

Also, in my quest to Find that Find, I ran across this one. The comments made me laugh and wax nostalgic.

Actually the best part of the find is those goo-goo-googly eyes.
@ simpkins ... yeah, after reading all our comments, I'm changing my mind on the googly eyes.
I tried and tried, but I couldn't get out!! I didn't know this find was posted! You guys's comments are hilarious!
