Re: Have you ever had to clean a mess and decided to artsy it into a half-mess clean in progress to discourage more messes?

My roommate in college once left a big mess of toothpaste and beard trimmings on the top of the toilet tank. I complained, and later when I came home he had attached a post-it note next to one glob of blue gel toothpaste crusted with hair. The note said "don't hurt me! my name is Timmy!" I fell on the floor I laughed so hard.
I was no longer upset at the mess, and "Timmy" became a beloved friend for a few weeks, and the topic of many jokes. LOL

Mon, March 26, 2007 - 5:04 PMYes! The top shelf of my cupboard broke, and all my best china came crashing down like an avalanche. It was quite the mosaic. I invited my mom over to have a look see. She loved it, tragic but beautiful. I left it there for a while. Sadly, it didn't discourage any future messes:( -
