Cleaning up after eating #3

This is happening again.

Quote from a topic on our mailing list:

Hi all

If you guys, gals and children open your eyes and take a careful look around hackerspace, you will notice that this place is fast becoming a pig sty. In fact, I think some pigs have better living environment than us. (Apologies to our Muslim members. Sorry, I seriously cannot find another name for it other than pig sty)

I know I have been nagging about this again and again. But have to repeat myself again. Can everyone please be more responsible when you are in Hackerspace? As far as I know, there is only 1 rule in Hackerspace, that is to clean up after use. But it seems to me that many people are not following this one simple rule. And the responsibility does not end after you throw your rubbish into the dustbin. Someone need to empty the dustbin. I know some of you have also been emptying the dustbin everytime they come to hackerspace. But the responsible people aren't able to come to hackerspace every single day. Everyone need to play their part to keep the place clean.

We are still having lots of ants in hackerspace despite the fact that we gotten lots of ant poison. I think the poison alone is not going to work if everyone don't maintain cleanliness here. And if we don't do something about this, I think we will start to have roaches and event rats someday. Seriously everyone. PLEASE wake up, do something before we need to hire professional pest busters.

After drinking, please rinse your cup and put it on top of the dishwasher. I've lost count on the number of times I find cup on tables. The cups on the dishwasher does not have legs. Someone needs to put them in the dishwasher and turn on the dishwasher every once in a while. When the dishwasher finish its job, someone needs to empty them before the whole dishwasher stink like a sewage. Seriously, I think I can teach my 7 year old nephew to do all these. I don't think we have any members that is still in primary school.

The table are always full of things. If you have to leave things in hackerspace, please put them in the cardboard. If they are too bulky, then please put them in an orderly manner before you leave.

And the ice maker in the fridge. For goodness sake, the fridge we got does not have an automatic ice maker. SOMEONE needs to refill the water in order to make ice. Do we have to put another freaking label on the fridge to TEACH all of you to do this?

I keep saying that all the labels in hackerspace are a huge disgrace to the members here. Some of the instructions (like the 1 on the toilet bowl) are COMMON SENSE! I have no idea why the heck we need those labels. Even kids know that they are suppose to clean the toilet bowl after use if there are stain. WHY is it that the members of hackerspace need a label to remind them something that little kids know since primary school? Are we all adults here? Is there any sense of responsibilities here? Are we treating Hackerspace like a public place or a home?

I hope this is going to be the last time I need to bring up this issue on google group. We are all adults. Please behave like one.

PS: I know some of you have been very responsible and keeping the place clean. Thank you. This posting is for those who aren't.
