stupid and wasteful things people do, but I should really change the title to WAYS PEOPLE IN MY OFFICE WASTE PAPER TOWELS AND WATER

They turn on the water and unroll 15 feet of paper towel upon entering the bathroom. They don't flush and then go to the sink, wash their entire upper body for 20 minutes, open the door with their elbows and then paint Purell all over their arms.

...are you serious?

For all 7 of you who read this, you know at least one person with a similar thing. Daily, I see a bunch and man - it ridiculous. Not only is it a huge waste of materials it's just a bad idea. Those same people who are afraid of touching anything public are the ones who are always sick.

As a bonus I'll describe how someone uses a stack of paper towels, in the kitchen, to grab a drawer handle, then picks up 15 packets of sugar and adds it to their coffee. Well I guess they are more confident that modern science will find a cure for heart disease and diabetes before the common cold.


George Carlin said it best:

The Hudson River was loaded with raw sewage. That's right, we swam in raw sewage. You know, to cool off. And back then the big fear was polio. Thousands of kids every year were dying of polio. But you know what, in my neighborhood, nobody ever got polio. No one. Ever. You know why? BECAUSE WE SWAM IN RAW SEWAGE. It strengthened our immune system. The polio never had a chance. We were tempered in raw shit. What are you going to do when some super virus comes along that turns your vital organs into liquid shit? I'll tell you what you're gonna do. You're gonna get sick and you're gonna die and you're gonna deserve it because you're fuckin' weak and you have a fuckin' weak immune system.

Germs are Ok!

Well well well, Tony. Aren't you perfect?

Not quite, while I do everything I can not to waste materials and natural resources, what I do occasionally waste is my time. Mostly by watching this video. I can't believe it doesn't have a million you-tube hits already, but it will. And in a month, when this is shown on some TV gossip show, you can remember who referred you to it when it had 14 hits (11 of which are mine - sadly)

Enjoy SWAAAAAGBUCKS

She ran the water for 6 minutes just to wash a container she threw away......I counted.

wow.

Take a paper cup, fill it with water, drink the water and throw out the cup....
Take another paper cup, fill it with coffee.

What the hell is that? Are the 6 droplets of water left in your cup going to contaminate your cup of watered down office coffee?! Coffee is water! That's it! It's just water that flows through a bunch of brown shit. Get a clue and start having a little consideration for something other than your weird obsession with wasting paper cups.

Dear company, If you would like to save money this coming year, please don't take away our yearly raises and just stop buying paper cups.

Oh, PS. You've worked here for 3 years! Bring in a damn coffee cup and rinse it out.

Wow, this really took a turn for the negative.

The good: I'm noticing more and more people bringing their lunches to work in their used plastic shopping bags.

The stupid: They just throw it away once they take their lunch out of it.

Come on folks, you know it's not trash. You've all seen that big bin in the entrance of your supermarket that says PLEASE RECYCLE YOUR USED GROCERY BAGS HERE. OR better still just bring a damn bag to the store.

The Good: They rinse out their reusable water cup before refilling it.

The Incredibly Stupid: They waste paper towels by drying the water in their cup before once again filling it with water!
