The photo above is one I took as I was leaving my building today, Friday afternoon.
I’d like to give the benefit of doubt to whoever had been sitting there; maybe they had just stepped away to use the restroom.
After all, someone who reads the Wall Street Journal wouldn’t just leave a mess like that for someone else to clean up, would they?

Alas…we are ALL capable of creating a mess. Perhaps the Wall Street reader was called away to check on their stock holdings.

I want to see an outline of the mess on the table and floor like they do with bodies. That would even attract more attention.

I am with you, Jim. I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they walked back to their office to check their WP stats. Can’t blame someone for that!

if they were running late, they would likely use that as an excuse to just skip the whole class…

I agree, it’s not cool at all. and I’m guessing whoever left the mess is long gone…

Hi Jim, I think people who read the Wall Street Journal are very likely to expect others to clean up after them. I see this sort of thing all the time. Admittedly, South African restaurants and other eateries are not strict about self service and self clean up like the UK facilities are.

They left quickly when they got the call. They hadn’t read the WSJ and left the unfinished drink and take-out box. Fortunately the boy was alright after giving them quite a scare. But the person who took the ten spot left to cover the mess had no shame.

Having grown up in a developing country, I have to say that that’s a common sight for me. We used to go to fast food chains and leave tables like that, just like how we would in a restaurant. Times are changing though, which is always a good thing to see.
