Attention temporary guests to our "sub-par 1970s student residence" →[More:] You notice how the bathroom is completely empty of clutter? Because no one leaves their stuff in there? Perhaps you should do the s, and not leave your FIVE bottles of shampoo, etc., arrayed like soldiers right in front of the shower to maximize the chance of people tripping over it.

CLEAN UP YOUR MESS.

Signed, people who actually live here.

I meant "do the same"

I would print this out and put it under their door but I don't have Comic Sans on this computer. If you will excuse me, I have to go make some kids get off my lawn.

Remove ALL of the shampoo. Put it in the garbage.

Actually.... just put up the sign, then after they leave it there again, throw it out and put up a sign that says "We WARNED you!"

Hopefully they are just up for the bank holiday weekend so it's not worth doing anything else. This is already the second time though. I've just been shoving their stuff to the other side of the room where it is out of my way.

I'm just venting up here. If I were to put up a sign it would be a very simple "items left in this bathroom will be disposed of."

As Gandhi once said, "Pissing in shampoo bottles goes a long way towards resolving disputes".

Oooh. Yes. Or do what Matilda did. Put peroxide in their shampoo bottles. BRILLIANT. Better yet, find a bottle of leave-in conditioner and pour the peroxide in there. YES.

Leave a thank you note, expressing gratitude for leaving shampoo, so you don't have to bring yours. Request that they switch to your preferred variety.

theora55 wins. How confused would they get from a note like that? I'm all for more confusion!
