Here at the City of ABQ City Hall, the maintenance guys put up this sign that says "Temporarily out of order", presumably to keep people from using the sink which was...completely GONE. Do we need a sign to keep people from using an absent sink? If so, what does that say about people who work here - or the citizens who come here? Scary. (Sorry for the pic quality, it's with my phone.)

Somebody needs to close the lid on the soap. That drives me crazy.

That's what we should do here. We should remove the kitchen sink for those people who put food, gum, and other assorted crap in the drain THAT HAS NO FRICKEN GARBAGE DISPOSAL IN IT! Come on people. There's no big opening in the drain. Everything just sits there, on top of the drain opening, until someone takes it out with their hands. GUM!?!? Do you do the same thing at YOUR HOME? Stuped MF'ers.

^^^I was walking in there with my coffee cup to rinse and one of the secretaries says "It's out of order" and I looked and it was completely gone, so I said, "Well I guess so." It just made me wonder, if the sign wasn't there, would someone turn on the water and wash their coffee cup???

You'd be surprised at what Goverment people do .

Asshats throw paper towels in the urinals then flush it WHY , they do the same with the toilets AFTER they have used it. WHY just to watch it overflow ????

My favorite one is when one of the cages is MISSING a wheel an they try to use it anyway then get pissed when it falls over loaded down with mail LOL.

Yup you'd be surprised at what happens inside

"It just made me wonder, if the sign wasn't there, would someone turn on the water and wash their coffee cup???"

==========================================

Well, obviously they wouldn't try and rinse it out with water, but I bet they wouldn't hesitate to pour coffee into the non-existant sink. I think those people are called "non-essential" employees.

If the sink is gone, wouldn't the faucet be gone too? Now is a perfect time to steal the roll of paper towels.

I would be tempted to put a funnel in the open pipe and dump my urine down it. What are those two pictures at the top of the memo?

JHC, you'd hate my sink. I have a stupid Winni the Pooh dispenser still hanging around from when my ex left that I still use. It's convenient cause it's a pump. Anyway it's all caked with old crusty soap and if you need, you can rehydrate some on a sponge for a quick wash! LOL!

The pictures are for the illiterate employees telling them it's out of order. That being said, they didn't even need to type the notice. They only needed the pictures....except for Shovelgrrl of course. 😉

From my trips to Abq, and I've made several, I'm only surprised that the sign isn't larger and done with a pictionary illustration for the gazillions that can't read. Hell, the only thing to make that sign perfectly Abq would be a B.A.T. sign and a cop 30 feet away testing employees for alcohol.

Should an electrical outlet be that close to the water?

^^^No, but I can assure you - City Hall is NOT to code, and no, that isn't a GFCI plug. As for the water, you're right, the faucet is gone, but the water can still be turned on, you just have to lean down to get it...plus the maintenance guys didn't seal up the P-trap (although here on the 11th floor it's unlikely that sewer gas will come in, I suppose), so I guess if I really wanted to I could have dumped my coffee down the "drain" and rinsed it using the water connection...

Oh, and the sign actually does have pictures, in the upper corners there's a graphic of a little man holding a stop sign...

No mis-spelled words on that sign--good!

(and outlet could be on gfi breaker. It more expensive than gfi outlet, so this heap possibility)

I can absolutely guarantee you that is not on a GFCI or AFCI breaker...did I mention this is ABQ City Hall? The outlet was there first, because a microwave sat there, then somebody wanted the sink in, so the guys just put in a sink and stubbed the water from the men's restroom on the other side...which, by the way, is why the sink is always clogged up...well, that and because of some moron who put potting soil down the sink (I am not making this up).

Chief and Mrs. Chief need to come to ABQ for In-Dun Pow Wow- Shovelgrrrl give tour of all City Hall. Chief get heap laughter.

Duh, Thats for the blind and vision impaired who cannot see that the sink is missing.

You need sensitivity training 🙂

"You need sensitivity training"

You are not the first person to say that...in fact, you're not even the first person to say that today.

The sign is only for the "D" ones.

The sign might be there to distinguish the missing sink out for repair, from a sink that has been stolen. This note certainly saved the maintenance department people from calls all day about a missing sink. At least you know they are working on it.

Just my 2 cents

^^^HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Good point.

Chances are that sign was placed there when the sink was intact, and left there when they removed it for the replacement with nobody thinking to remove it.... if that's not the case, you might want to consider moving from new mexico, I mean if their that dumb there....well, I'm just saying...
