You've got to laugh

So I was asked to look at a sink in the staff room that wasn't draining away. We have three sinks in our staff room, all next to each other, one large and two small. Upon filling two sinks up and draining away perfectly well I went to the final sink, just before I filled it up I looked at the sink and guess what?

One of our lovely staff member had pushed the plug in and wondered why it wasn't draining away!

I have to admit it certainly made me laugh and has brought a smile to my face.

I hope you are all having a good day.

Depressingly, so did I.

I also had that thought but then thought nah that’s too easy. In our kitchen when the sink was blocked its usually leftover food from the piles of dirty plates left in the sink.

That's what I thought it was going to be, left over food but I was surprised that the sinks were clear. I just don't understand how the staff member didn't look and then took time to walk out of the staff room, go and find my line manager who then called me. Surely it would have been quicker just to look.

But it's not their job! [Big grin.png]

The lack of common sense and logic from these people is staggering, I'm convinced it's actually taught to them during their teacher training..

Ahh so my Schools not the only one! Seems like l am the only one who knows how to load a dishwasher and that you don't put dirty cutlery in a clean dishwasher load. And rather than unload it they'll stack it all up in the sink.
