I estimate there are around 40 people in my office, a mix of Softies, Electonic Eng & Mechanical Engs. All educated to Degree level minimum. Still this abundance of education has not stopped the sink being blocked up on two occassions this week due to someone putting their plastic stirrers down the plug-hole. :wtf: This has now resulted in us having to have a sign above the sink reminding us all that the stirrers should go in the bin, not down the sink, and also an e-mail to the same affect. I am going to put up signs above the Mains Sockets, reminding people not to stick their Penis in the mains, just in case! :doh:
Far worse are the clowns that take a handful of paper towels and, for reasons best known only to themselves, flush them down the toilets thereby blocking them. What the hell is that all about???

We had signs above the sink in my last place of employment that stated "Warning! very hot water".
I must get a clever new signature for 2011.
We have them here also. It makes you wonder how they think we cope at home. In addition to this I had an hours Ladder Safety Lesson the other week. I have not even seen a ladder since I worked here, and unless some clown decides to stick my Keyboard to the ceiling, I wont ever need to see one.

I used to work for a company where the Fire instructions said: "In case of fire, do not leave the lift" Don't think they liked employees, much...
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together. Digital man: "You are, in short, an idiot with the IQ of an ant and the intellectual capacity of a hose pipe."

How exactly could a coffee stir straw plug up a ~1.25 inch PVC pipe? I'm not saying that they don't do harm, but it would take quite a few of them to plug the sink up, unless something else was being poured down the drain at the same time.

They have a certain amount of buoyancy to them and they are rigid. Pipes bend, it takes a lot of water pressure to push anything other than liquid waste.

Having "plumbed" for many years, I'm well aware of all that. My point, or question, was how could a coffee stir straw, by itself, plug up the pipe? Yes, I'm being a bit pedantic here, but I was trying to bring out a point.
