Aproximando-se a reunião da UALP (União de Advogados de Língua Portuguesa) em Macau, creio que o e-mail abaixo (verídico) caí que nem uma luva...

Subject: New Bathrooms

You will have noticed the recent refurbishment of the toilets in our building. The cost of this refurbishment to date is over £30,000. There are still some finishing touches to be applied which will be completed over the coming weeks.

Now that we have toilets to be proud of could I please ask that each and every member of the office respects the new facilities.

I appreciate the "old toilets" were in a very poor state and this may have contributed to the general indifference to the facilities historically.

However even since the refurbishment there are still some of the "old habits" which sometimes are merely matters of common courtesy and at other times are actually nothing short of disgusting.

I thought about sharing with you all a list of some of the common problems such as:-

1. Males doing their best to pee on to the floor and walls rather than into the urinals/toilet pan.
2. The practice, in the male toilets upstairs, (you know who you are) of sitting on the toilet picking your nose and flicking it onto the opposite wall.
3. Doing an impression of an Aylesbury duck in regard to wash basins, ie more water outside of the basin that inside it!
4. Putting a new toilet roll on when you finish the previous roll and disposing of the cardboard roll (bins are being provided shortly for this purpose within the toilets).
5. Etc ..

Then I thought better of it !!!! Simply I would ask you to respect the new facilities and leave them as you would like to find them.

Thank you.
