Unknown said...: Did you see how Eleanor Homes Norton ruined a driverless car like an impatient 3 year old? What a bunch of knuckleheads in DC. Great argument for bigger government!!

A stupid and impulsive woman who pounds buttons on unfamiliar machinery rather than asking the engineer seated right next to her what the button does is one of the Congressmen dictating every aspect of economic life in the nation.

Watch the video. Notice how quickly, how aggressively, Eleanor Holmes Norton springs to do the One Thing she could possibly do to destroy the idiot-proof car.

David said...: This is not an unusual problem. Based on my experience as a landlord, I hazard a guess that the toilets are getting clogged and won't work. Often that can be due to the employees as well, but it's the rare employee whose first choice is the hallway.

This is one of the many reasons I am glad that I do not own commercial real estate.; 6/25/14, 10:59 PM

Anonymous said...: The Guy Who Poops in the Hall says:

I am meaningless. I have willingly trapped myself inside the bureaucracy and nothing I do will matter: if I do nothing, it still doesn't matter. Indeed, the more ineffective i am the stronger the bureaucracy gets. I have a picture of my family by my computer screen: I am furniture. I poop in the hallway therefore I am.; 6/26/14, 6:31 AM

I bet they go the whole hazardous waste site drill though, instead of the baggie and kleenex route.; 6/26/14, 7:07 AM

I am meaningless. I have pooped on the floor in front of the coffee-maker; I have pooped in fellow employees' recycle bins. I have pooped in a bag and placed it in the break-room refrigerator with a post-it note reading 'Don't Touch.' I have pooped in the donut-box, I have pooped on a donut. My inner self is in turmoil.; 6/26/14, 7:16 AM

Most likely not.; 6/26/14, 7:17 AM
Larry J said...: I've heard of Phantom Shitters in the Navy but the EPA? Well, they are more full of shit than most people, so it could be true.; 6/26/14, 7:31 AM
Original Mike said...: It was common in the public toilets in New Zealand to see signs explaining that the proper place to put the toilet paper was in the toilet. Apparently, a subset of the population had to be told that.; 6/26/14, 7:53 AM
Original Mike said...: I should have mentioned the signs were not in English. They were drawings.; 6/26/14, 8:26 AM

gk1 said...: It totally makes sense. Government employees aren't very bright and they may not understand toilets are where feces belongs. I think the GSA should spend a few million dollars to look into the problem and see if there is some remedial training all EPA employees should go through to avoid this problem in the future.; 6/26/14, 9:03 AM
Chance said...: Maybe they're composting.; 6/26/14, 9:04 AM

I thought this only happened in Silicon Valley where aspy eggheads couldn't be bothered to walk down to the loo.; 6/26/14, 12:20 PM
Drago said...: Heyooyeh: "Shit like this never happens in the private sector, I'm sure."

LOL

So, let just summarize heyooyeh position: Whenever a government employee does something it only proves the private sector is guilty.

That's the ticket.

Run with that one.; 6/26/14, 1:51 PM
