Seriously.
Some days it's hard to believe that I work in a professional office in NYC, where the average age is probably mid-late 30s.
When we moved here 2 years ago, there were probably 10 of us that were full time, so the dorm-sized mini fridge and 2 single unisex bathrooms (2 completely separate bathrooms--this isn't Ally McBeal) fit us just fine.
Now, there are ~35 people that work here full time, and we are quickly outgrowing our space. In fact we are moving to North Tribeca (with no easily accessible public transportation- but that's another story) within the next couple months.
But again, the average age here is somewhere in the 30s and we have about 50/50 boys and girls. So it's hard to believe that I had to send an email like this to my entire office today. This is exactly what I wrote:

Subject: Did you leave something in the fridge...
3 months ago? Just checking cause I just threw out some yogurt from May. Can you please just glance in the fridge today to see if any of the half eaten food/expired milk/flat bottle of soda belongs to you? If it does, please toss it out!
This message has been brought to you by the number 3 and the letter G (for GROSS).
Thank you,
Danielle
I quickly followed up that email with the following (which is even more difficult to swallow--ew that sounds gross in context of this email):

Subject: RE: Did you leave something in the fridge...One more thing. If you left the toilet seat up, please please please put it down.
Thanks. That’s all from me.
Unfortunately the part I left out was to also please flush the toilet.
Last week I went to the "favored" bathroom (it's favored because it's not immediately behind someone's desk) and the toilet seat was up and the toilet was not flushed. Who does that?
We had this image posted in both bathroom up until last week when new tenants started touring the place. Now that it's down do these guys--who are average age 40--think the rules have changed?
Oh, AND there are foot prints on the wall directly across from the toilet. HOW THE HELL DOES THAT HAPPEN???
Seriously. Ew.
