What would you have done?

So we have signs all over our kitchen here at work to wash your own dishes as there are no maids. Every day I come in and there are dirty dishes in the sink. I see them pile up day after day. So today I threw them all in the trash. Several dinner plates, sandwich plates, bowls, mugs and about 20 pieces of silverware. It'll be interesting to see if anyone notices. Eventually we'll run out of dishes and the problem will be solved.

Most people here (99%) don't use the dishes as they go out or else bring their own in.

Was I wrong to do that?

    I was in the convenience store tonight and a guy in front of me had a 12 pack of Bud Light. The clerk was new and only charged him 4.59 for the twelve pack. The guy just paid and left. Would you have spoken up? Don

    PS. I bought 12 cases.

    A young guy came into the store yesterday looking for some "22 bullets" I asked if it was "22 long rifle". He replied, no, it's for a pistol. I explained the naming of the round, regardless of which type of gun uses it. He wanted me to show him where it was marked on the gun. ( A stainless Buckmark he just bought for $50). He pulls the gun out of the front of his pants, just like most of the kids in this neighborhood. I notice right away the left side right where the serial number should be has been ground down. WAY down. Left only the last digit of the serial number. I showed him where it said 22 long rifle. Then told him about his newly aquired illegal gun. He seemed pretty PO'd. He didnt know anything about guns, and was mad that he got taken. Said he was going to get his money back.


    So the question is this: You work in a gun store, and while showing a customer something on his new gun you discover the serial number has been illegally altered, in any way. What do you do?

    Was in Vegas for New Year and on Saturday night the GF and I went to Fremont Street to walk around, eat dinner, and listen to live music. There where a couple different stages set up and we where walking around and stopped and started listening to a AC/DC tribute band that was pretty good. My GF and I where standing side by side near the side of the street opposite the stage.
    After about 3 songs I was shoved hard in the back. Hard enough to make me take a step forward. I turned around and this guy (could NOT smell any alcohol on him) was standing there and screams (because of music level) "Get the hell out of my way".
    So I said "What the hell is your problem just move so you can see" Stared the guy down for a couple seconds and he said some more stuff but I couldn't hear what he was saying. I didn't want to turn my back on him so I just reached over and tugged on my girlfriends sleeve and said "Let's go"
    We walked away at a 45 degree angle to the guy so I could watch him and he started following us. We walked into the Golden Nugget because I figured if this guy was going to start something in there it would be on tape. He came in and we stared at each other for about 30 seconds then he walked away.
    We gambled for awhile then went to the parking garage and drove back to the casino we where staying at.

    Would you have done anything different?

    Hello all, I was in one of the major sporting goods chains today and purchased a two man ladder type tree stand for on sale for $129.99 regular $179.99 and when the sales clerk put the large box on the hand truck and wheeled it to the register he read off the skew number to the cashier, I guess he made a mistake with the numbers but it came up $27.99 plus tax.......I pointed this out to the clerk and told her it was $129.99 not $29.99 and she corected the mistake and i paid them walked out. I am writing this Because there was a guy and line that actually got Angry with me for telling them about the mistake even calling me stupid for it. What would you have done? I feel that it would have been stealing for me to take it at the mistaken price. your thoughts?

    If you were driving and saw a small American flag laying on the edge of the road, what would you do?

    Was posting a lienholders notice on a house today and when walking off the yard saw a loaded stainless mag, looked to be 45ACP of some sort sitting on the ground. Was going to pick it up but then thought better of it. It was a decent neighborhood but still left it alone.

    Get rid of the dishes and make people buy their own paper plates and plastic forks. Also, make them keep them in their office or work area.

    Sometimes it just takes such measures to get the point across.

    We have a small kitchen here too - with dishwasher and all.

    All people have to do, is grab a cup, plate or kitchenware in the cupboard or drawer - and put it in the dishwasher after use.

    Only about 5% ends up in the dishwasher - the rest are scattered around in offices, on the kitchen table and sink.


    At the hospital where I used to work, I was in charge of the "Petty cash" for coffee, tea, bread, butter and so..

    We all chipped in and had breakfast together - but people didn't care much for paying up, but were chowin' down pretty good.

    That came to an end when petty cash hit an all time low (bottomline) - so we all ended up with no breakfast for a couple of days, but people began to pay up and made durn sure to stay up front with the payments from then on.
