We have a very small sailing club with no assigned cleanup schedule. Don't know who is leaving the bathroom a mess, but someone is doing a great job of not doing anything to help.

First mate and I have thought about different signs to leave up asking for help keeping it clean. Some are obvious and used such as "Your mother doesn't work here. Take out the trash!" Or "And you still don't keep your room clean, either. Love, Mom." Just thought of this one... "You didn't take out that trash before you married her in Vegas, either. Love, Mom."

I'd love ideas on for a great sign that has humor but gets the point across. Any help?

Thanks!

Simple solution, assign all members a one week rotating shift. The work gets done and everyone helps.

I agree with Alan, Set a cleaning schedule. Suggestions> Your Mom doesn't live here and the maid died. Clean up after yourself. #2 The difference between garbage and a wife is that you take out the garbage at least once a week.:eek: Fair Winds and Full Sails....

I love all the suggestions. #1 here in this post is great and probably the most effective suggestion but #2 got a huge OOOOOOO out of me when I read it. I really love the one about not peeing in your cockpit, too.

Keep 'em coming and thanks!

My 2 Cents:
1) Aim low.........this is not the Air Force.(just kidding, funny; but not on point)
2) #NOW HEAR THIS, NOW HEAR THIS#
You can't gripe about the dirty head.............if you're the one who did it.
If you remembered to take out your trash............the bitching lamp is lit.
Moral of this story: Clean after yourself and join in the fun of chewing out those who don't.
#THAT IS ALL#(we ask)

One of my favorites may be able to be altered to fit your needs.

Another good one

Love the sign!!. As an aside, one of the lowest forms of humanity is the guy who won't raise the seat while doing a stand up performance, thus leaving a wet, disgusting seat for the next guy to sit on.:cussing:YUCK!! Fair winds and full sails....

DNA testing and identification is more accurate and less expensive than you think.

Cleanliness is taught both at home and in the culture in which we live. There may be no solution to your problem other than the more responsible people in your club cleaning up the offender's mess. Do your members acquiesce to the slob and follow suit or maintain a standard of cleanliness? Sort of like taxes: some people pay taxes while others reap the rewards. Good luck and good sailing, Ron
