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.
This is happening again.
