Like put their used towel paper into the bathroom sink. Um, there's a garbage right under towel paper dispenser.

A sign was posted to "please do not put towel paper in the sink." But nada. Only adults at my work place. Is this too much to ask for?

It just frustrates me. I don't want to take out their used towel paper, and so I wash my hands on top of it, which creates a bigger mess. Wet paper inside the sink on top of the drain.
Just a vent.

Yeh I shouldn't use that bathroom. But I forget. And then grrrrrrrrrr.

It probably fell in by mistake and the person before you didn't want to take it out, just like you didn't.

Best to do in that situation is take another paper towel, lift the soggy one and throw it out before too much water backs up in the drain.

Uh, yeah. Happens to me all the time, but I usually pick it up.

Please don't run water over the paper towel. It creates a much bigger mess. Take another towel, use it to pick up the towel, and throw both out. It takes 10 seconds.

Life"s short. Put the roll wherever you want as long as there's access.

I take a wad of clean paper towels and lift it out. I'm using soap when I wash my hands anyway.
But I totally get your frustration!!

Who cares! Just take the paper towel out of the sink and make it easier for the next person....

You're assuming that people actually read the signs.

How does it drop into the sink?
And this happens in a particular bathroom all the time, so the culprit seems to be the same person. Never saw this anywhere else, in a decent adult environment.
And the fact that you pick it up makes all the difference.
You're not leaving it there for the next person to clean up your mistake.

Its the way the paper towels are stacked that causes additional towels to fall. Happens all the time. In multiple restrooms, and happens to lots of different people.

I understand that it bothers you, but running water over it changes a minor bother that takes 10 seconds to fix to something that's really pretty gross.
